Inspire.Create.Challenge #177 | CASE the Designer

Good morning and welcome to another Inspire.Create.Challenge. We had such an amazing response to the last challenge so I am hoping you will all join us again for Challenge #177 - CASE the Designer. We are CASEing a card from our very own Karen Farquhar.

I am always amazed at how everyone interprets a card so differently using inspiration from our fellow creators. Here is some more inspiration for you.

I love the alternative shapes and designs the designers have used to create completely different cards yet you can still see where the inspiration came from.

Now it is your turn. You have until midnight on Wednesday 2 October (I cannot even believe I am typing October!) to submit your entry for this week's challenge. Just click on the link below.

Have fun!

Inspire.Create.Challenge #176 | Floral

Good morning and welcome to another Inspire.Create.Challenge. Challenge #176 is all about florals. Goodness knows the crafting world is probably made up of 70% florals so we have plenty to choose from. Florals are so versatile for all occasions and the team have been busy creating their own floral themed projects for you, see what you think.

I love all the different variations of flowers and colours. Now we want to see your floral creations. You can create anything you want, it doesn't need to be a card so long as the florals are the main feature.

The Challenge closes at midnight (GMT) on 18th September so you have plenty of time to get crafting.

You can enter the challenge by clicking on the link below.
