Snow Day

We're back with a brand-new challenge at Creative Knockouts!

This time, the theme Snow Much Fun - we’d love to see how you incorporate snow into your card — whether it’s snowflakes, a snowman, sledding, or anything snowy and fun.

Our amazing sponsor for this challenge is The Paper Shelter, and they're offering a fantastic prize - so don't miss your chance to play along!


I wanted to showcase a digital card to show just how easy and versatile The Paper Shelter images can be. This image is Snow Angel and I selected digital papers and elements from the “I Love Snow” collection that I purchased on Snap Click and combined them to create this card.

Be sure you check out the amazing and inspiring creations from our talented Design Teamthen share your masterpiece with us!

Happy Crafting!

Christmas Tree Tags

FarmQuest Country Christmas Challenge has a brand-new challenge for you to join! 

This challenge blog is all about celebrating the cozy, rustic charm of country life during the holidays — think barns, wildlife, snow-covered fields, and all things outdoorsy and festive! 

Each challenge is Anything Goes, as long as it captures that country Christmas feel.

We are a just-for-fun challenge, but you could earn our Grand Champion Winner Badge (with a Guest DT invite) or proudly display our Wintery Top 3 Badge on your blog or socials.

My project features Christmas gift tags using tag dies from Penny Black, Maker's Movement and Paper Smooches.  The tree dies were purchased from Amazon.

After running the tag dies through the Big Shot, I used a snowflake embossing folder to create the background and finished it off the Joy sentiment by Concord & 9th.

I can’t wait see what you create — and don’t forget to check out the blog for beautiful inspiration from the rest of the Design Team!

Happy crafting!

Mistletoe Joy at Chrismtas [or not] Bingo Challenges

Christmas [or not] Bingo Challenges has a brand-new challenge ready for you!

Each challenge, CBC features a fresh Bingo card filled with fun and creative prompts - and while it's not your typical game of BINGO, the rules are simple:

Choose at least three items from ONE column and include them in your project.

This is a just-for-fun challenge, but it's a great way to get inspired - and you could earn a Winner or Top Pick Badge to proudly display on your bog or socials!

For my project, I picked the "O" column, which includes:

  • CAS - No Stamping - Distress Ink - Pearls

I had so much fun working with these elements!


This was a quick and easy card to put together, using Mistletoe Kisses Die Cut set by MFT and Peace Love Joy Frames by Concord & 9th. 

After using Distress Oxide Ink to create the background, I lightly sprayed Silver Sheer Shimmer spray over the entire card.  Two colors of green were used to create the mistletoe, silver metallic cardstock for the sentiment and bow, and to finish it off, white pearls were used as the berries.+

Visit the Christmas [or not] BINGO Challenges blog to check out the full BINGO card and get inspired by the Design Team's creations. Then it's your turn - we can't wait to see what you make!

Happy crafting!
