Week 397–make a kinetic card

Good morning lovely crafters, I hope you all had a fantastic week last week.  We hope you all enjoyed your extra day off for the Bank Holiday (if you were lucky enough to get one).  Thank you for all your gorgeous entries for last week’s ‘make it manly’ challenge.  As always it was lovely to see your wonderful creations and the DT had a brilliant time visiting your blogs.  Please remember to come back later as we will be announcing our lucky winner who will win the $12.00 voucher courtesy of Di’s Digi Stamps and we will also find out who Nic has chosen as her top 5 passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Nat from Team 2, and she has given us the fantastic theme of ‘make a kinetic card’.  Don’t be too freaked out by the title, Nat would simply like to make a card that moves this week.  An example of a kinetic card would be a shaker card, easel card, slider card, stepper card, tent card etc., the possibilities are endless.  If you are stuck for ideas just google ‘kinetic card’ and lots of ideas will come up.  Remember you can enter using any type of creation, it doesn’t have to be a card.  As always to be eligible for our prize draw you must use your Winsor & Newton (formerly Letraset) products (promarkers, flex markers, tria markers, aqua markers or metallic markers) and of course follow the theme.  Please can you help us by stating which Letraset products you have used on your creation i.e. ‘coloured with promarkers’ etc.  Thanks x x

Our generous sponsor this week is All Dressed Up stamps and they are offering one lucky winner 2 digi images of their choice from their online store.  Some of the design team were lucky enough to use their images of their cards this week.
