Week 819 - dies and/or punches

Good morning and welcome back to our lovely crafters; we can’t wait to share our first challenge of 2026.  We hope you’ve all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year and managed to fit in some crafting over the holiday period.  The last month has just whizzed by hasn’t it!  We would like to say a big thank you for all your support in 2025 and we hope you will continue to support us this year.  We were blown away by all your lovely entries for our Mega Christmas challenge; it was amazing to see them all and as always the DT had a brilliant time visiting your blogs and seeing your creations.  Please remember to come back later as we will be announcing all of our lucky winners – how exciting!

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Marie from Team 1, and she has given us the fun theme of ‘dies and/or punches’.  As the title suggests Marie doesn't mind what you make this week as long as your project includes die cuts or punched pieces.  I don’t think it can get any easier than that to start us off this year.  Don’t forget you can enter any type of creation it doesn’t have to be a card.  So pull out your favourite markers and get colouring.  

Our generous sponsor this week is The Paper Shelter and they are offering one lucky winner 3 digi images of their choice from their online store.  The DT were given an image to use on their cards this week called 'daisies on my hat'.  

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):

Marie

Marlene

Sarah

Sue

Lorraine

Another week of wonderful inspiration from the DT!! We hope you can join in with our challenge this week and we look forward to seeing what you create.

Don’t forget to pop back later to see if you are one of our lucky winners from our Mega Christmas challenge; as we have lots of winners there will be no top 5, but this will re-start again this week with Marie's challenge.  

Stay safe and sending our love to you all.

Hugs, Denise, Gina and DT x x
