All About Challenge #1

Huge crafty hugs and welcome to this brand new challenge! Every month we'll put up a new challenge prompt for you to use as inspiration for your papercraft projects, be they greeting cards, scrapbook layouts, art journal pages, tags, ATCs, etc. We encourage you to create, join the challenge and share the fun! 

For this inaugural challenge, to celebrate our start and the new year, it's all about ...


Perhaps you've got some new inks, stamps or dies you can't wait to use, a technique or fancy fold that's new to you, or you want to try a whole new medium - if it's new, give it a go! We can't wait to see your projects! 

Meanwhile, here's some inspiration from our talented design team.



Cassie used new products for her new year's card.



Karen used a new-to-her stamp set for her card.



Kerry used new product while trying a new medium, a folio journal.



Sandy used new stamps and dies for her games themed card.

  1. Beautiful cards from the DT for inspiration. Are you planning to add a ‘Followers’ button to the challenge blog? It would useful for anyone following your blog to get notifications on their reading list when a new challenge post goes live.
