Week 832 - no square or rectangle cards

Good morning lovely crafters, we hope you all had a fantastic week last week and enjoyed the Bank Holiday weekend (in the UK). Thank you for your gorgeous entries into last week’s ‘dies and/or punches’ challenge.  It was lovely to have you join us and as always the DT had a brilliant time visiting your blogs and seeing your beautiful creations.  Please remember to come back later as we will be announcing our lucky winner who will receive the £10 voucher courtesy of RAM Stamps and we will also be finding out who Marlene has chosen as her top 5 passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Kitty from Team 2 and she has given you the theme of ‘no square or rectangle cards’ to inspire you this week.  Kitty is a big fan of shaped cards so she wants you to step away from the usual square and rectangle cards and make something different this week. She would love to see shapes such as circles, ovals, stars, whatever your creativity can think of.  Such a brilliant theme, don't you agree and we can’t wait to see what you make.  Just remember your entry must include a hand-coloured image to be eligible for the prize draw; so grab your markers and get colouring!

Our generous sponsor this week is Sheepski Designs and they are offering one lucky winner 3 digi images of their choice (the store is currently closed but the winner will be sent a link so that they can choose their images).  All of the DT have used images from Sheepski Designs on their creations this week. 

The design team have created beautiful cards once again this week (please click on their names to visit their personal blogs and leave them some love!):

Stay safe and sending our love to you all.

Week 831 - dies and/or punches

Good morning lovely crafters, we hope you had a great week last week.  Thank you so much for your entries into last week's 'think pink' challenge; as always the DT had a wonderful time visiting your blogs and seeing your amazing creations. Please remember to come back later as we will be announcing our lucky winner of the 3 digi images courtesy of Colour of Love Digis and we will also find out who Karen  has chosen as her top 5 passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Marlene from Team 1, and she has given us the theme of ‘dies and/or punches’. Marlene doesn't mind what you make this week as long as you include some die cuts or punched pieces. This is always a very popular challenge and I know I can’t make a card anymore without reaching for the dies, so hopefully this week’s challenge will have lots of entries and we cannot wait to see what you create. Please remember you can enter using any type of creation, it doesn’t have to be a card but whatever you make please remember you must include a hand coloured image to be eligible for our prize draw. So come on, grab your markers, and have fun!

Our generous sponsor this week is RAM Stamps and they are offering one lucky winner a £10.00 voucher to spend in their online store.  All of the DT have used images from RAM Stamps on their creations this week.  

The design team have worked their magic once again this week and have created beautiful cards to inspire you (please click on their names to visit their personal blogs):
