Inspire.Create.Challenge #182 | Christmas - Anything But a Card

Good morning to you all, happy December. Christmas always begins for us on the 1st December and today we will be playing Christmas music and decorating the house. Over the years I have made various projects which only come out for the Christmas period and I thought it was a good subject for a challenge. So the challenge is to make a project for Christmas which is anything but a card so it could be a decoration, gift tags, gift boxes, home decor or a handmade gift, liniwhatever you wish.

I am excited to see your contributions to this one. Here are a few for inspiration.

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!

Good morning and welcome to another Inspire.Create.Challenge. Challenge #176 is all about florals.

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.
