Made by Domi! Domi used a nice Checker Board Punch by Martha Stewart! She also used the Sunshiney Day stamp from My Favorite Things!

  5. Great projects! I would love to see a product specific challenge, where everyone uses the same 3 product that just about anyone would have in their craft room.

  8. Fabulous products! I would love a knitting/stiching themed challenge :)

  9. How about a 'make-over' card challenge. Post a very plain aka 'uninteresting' card and the challenge is 'how will you make it better in your own style eg. add embellishment, use different colouring/ medium, add layers of paper ...' but the basic element of the card must be there.
    I am willing to submit my card sample for a 'professional make-over'...lol
    Thx for the chance to win the candy.

  13. WOW what a great challenge, and sooooo awesome entries from the DT too.
    I once tryed a challenge, where we all got the exact same kit to make a card from as we would like from the given products, and then it was amazing to see, how different people had used the exact same materials, and there wasn´t 2 cards, there were even close to each other, even we were 51 participants, so maybe you could just make a list over some certain materials and colors of producvcts, that all people would have , and say f.ex. that you could use pink and green cardstock and yellow and brown paper and 2 blue bottons or whatever, just an example, but it could really be fun to see, what people would make of it everywhere.

  14. Having a challenge where you have to use something specific would be fun. eg. a doily, 5 brads, sandpaper, yarn

    ReplyDelete
  15. I think distressing is nice, or a scenery challenge or just masking stamps. But you have the most beautiful ideas for a great challenge allready yourself.... Thank you for chance of winning this stampset! xxx Marianne MW

    ReplyDelete
  23. I think a great challenge would be fairytales or superheros!

  24. fab cards ladies,i think a good challenge would be oriental as we hardly ever see thee sorts of challenges anymore and i have some stamps getting rather dusty lol xx

    ReplyDelete
  25. Great projects! A challenge where everyone uses the same products would be cool.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Wonderful creations indeed!!! A great challenge would be to make something using an image that starts with a designated letter. Such as "A" apple, alligator, acorn, Angel...etc..
    Hugz of thanks

  27. I love the Simon Says Stamp Challenge! Sketch Challenges are my favorite, but it might be fun to see a "life-story" challenge. For example, a card that represents the trajectory of your life, a goal, a major defining moment, an important person...(They do this type of thing all the time on Top Chef, LOL).

    ReplyDelete
  28. I always like to see masculine card challenges.

    ReplyDelete
  29. A challenge I'd like to see is the same stamp from Mo Manning used or Pure Innocence used on a card for every challengee.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I'd love to see a challenge with the theme "When I Grow Up."

    ReplyDelete
  31. Alas, I don't have any challenge ideas!

    ReplyDelete
  32. Beautiful samples using dies/punches!!
    I think a fun challenge would be to create a "scene" card, of an unforgettable event or place. That would be quite a challenge, on a card instead of layouts. Hope it's not too difficult ;)

    ReplyDelete
  33. Loved seeing all of the projects! A fun theme...flowers, rolled flowers, trends, use a doily, use metal in your project... I will keep thinking about it. Love this stamp set from Hero Arts! Thank you for sharing.

  36. I think a great challenge would be to try something new, technique, product, etc. Its easy to get stuck in a rut and this would be a fun way to get out of it, and you might find something you love.

  47. I need to get in on the dies to die for challenge. I LOVE dies. LOL I think an interactive card would be fun, with any kind of moving part, could be a pop up, slider, a flap, etc. Thanks for inspiring us to create something fun.

    ReplyDelete
  48. I would love to do a challenge honoring someone in our lives who has inspired us; using an old photo of that person. Thanks for a chance to win these fun stamps.
