Stencils and stamping for May

May seems to be going rather quickly and it's already time for our mid month inspirational post following out current theme of 'Anything stamped with option to add a stencil' along with your stamping. 

A reminder of the two prizes this month from Oakwood Direct, a mixed media bundle and a pair of stencils.

As you can see, the Design Team have found different and imaginative ways to incorporate their stencils.

May challenge

Good morning, we hope you are all ready for our new challenge which this month is....

Anything stamped with the option to Add a Stencil

Stencils play such a big part in our crafting these days so we hope you with get yours out and use on your entries this month.....but as always the focal element must of course still be stamped, a stamped sentiment or small element such as a Butterfly on an otherwise non stamped entry is not eligible and will be deleted.

I did mention we were welcoming some new team members and are so pleased to tell you Gerrina is the first. Many will remember her as she used to be one of our DT's and we are so happy to have her back with us. We will be introducing our other new face in June.

Two prizes, a mixed media bundle with lots of different mediums and other products from Oakwood Direct and a second prize of two stencils.

 

Lots of super inspiration from the Design Team, please do pop along to their personal blogs and show them some love.

April winners and top selection

Time to announce our April winners, it was another super month with some lovely entries, thank you all for joining in.  

So first our two winners as selected by Random org.,

And those two lucky people are Kathy and Lia, well done to you both, please all mail me by Thursday 11th May with your full names and postal addresses so I can send your prizes.

Moving on to the Design Teams choices and this is where it got really tough and is I think the first time we've ever had the dilemma of four entries all recieving the same number of votes.

So after a difficult decision we now have a first placed entry with three more sharing the runners up spot. The person we would like to invite to be our June Guest Designer is Nonni, please mail me so I can tell you about that months challenge. 

Nonni entry 38

April challenge

Good morning and welcome to our April challenge and this month our theme is......

Anything Stamped with a CAS option

As our name suggests we are a stamping challenge and we expect to see the focal element of your entry hand stamped as our preference (or digital). A small stamped embellishment or sentiment on an otherwise non stamped card is not sufficient and ineligible.

Craft Stash is the fastest growing online craft store that specialises in papercraft for card making, journaling, mixed media and much more! We have over 10,000 products to choose from and we’re constantly adding new brands and new products from around the globe.

We have two prizes from them with a distinct Poppy theme going on, a stamp set and coordinating paper pad and a Woodware stamp.

We have said goodbye to Lesley this month and wish her well in her future crafting journey. But we do have a familiar face rejoining the team shortly as well as a new face joining us in a few weeks.

  

A lovely display from the Design Team and first this month's Guest Designer Carla, thank you for a lovely CAS card Carla and indeed the whole team for some fabulous inspiration....
