Week 397–Winner & Top 5 Passionista

Apologies for the late post tonight, time just got away from us.  I’m back to announce our lucky winner and top 5 passionista for last week’s “make a kinetic card” challenge.  It was fantastic to see your lovely entries and as always the DT had a wonderful time visiting your blogs and seeing your gorgeous creations.  We’ll be announcing Nat’s top 5 passionista in a minute but firstly let’s find out who our lucky winner is!

For last week’s challenge we were sponsored by All Dressed Up stamps who offered one lucky winner 2 digi images of their choice.  As always we used random.org and he chose:

Now onto the top 5 passionista and Nat had a wonderful time visiting your blogs and it was such a difficult decision to chose just 5.  However after much deliberation here are her favourite 5:

Week 398–birds, bugs and butterflies

Good morning dear crafters, I hope you all had a wonderful week.  Thank you for all your gorgeous and ingenious entries for last week’s ‘make a kinetic card’ challenge.  As always it was lovely to see your wonderful entries and the DT had a brilliant time visiting your blogs and seeing our gorgeous creations.  Please remember to come back later as we will be announcing our lucky winner who will receive the 2 digi images courtesy of All Dressed Up stamps and we will also be finding out who Nat has chosen as her top 5 Passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which has been chosen by the lovely Shelly from Team 1, and she gave us the fantastic theme of ‘birds, bugs and butterflies’.  Shelly would like you to make something that has at least one bird, bug or butterfly on it.  You can be really adventurous and include all three if you like but you must have one of them.  It can be on your image, your papers, a die cut or even an embellishment.  Such a lovely theme this week, I hope you agree.  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 Petal Lu and they are offering one lucky winner a 30% discount voucher to spend in their online store.  They have some very gorgeous flowers in their shop, if you haven’t already visited the store why not pop over and take a look, you will definitely want some once you have seen them. 

We also have a second prize this week donated by us at PFP.  We are offering one lucky winner a 6 pack of Promarkers (vibrant tones). 

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):

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
