July - In the Garden

Morning everyone, time for a new challenge and we have a lovely summery theme of........

******In the Garden******

In this part of the World our gardens are in full bloom even if the weather had forgotten it's Summer, so I hope you can take inspiration from them and join in. Please remember the focal element of our work must be hand stamped (any make but no digis) and reflect the theme..........that means for example a flower added to a mainly stencilled or die cut card will not be eligible. You can check our challenge rules here


Explore the creative world of Penny Black and see for yourself why our rubber stamps, stickers, beautiful papers for Scrapbooking, Cardmaking and Stamp Crafting are everyone’s favorites. Our products are designed to integrate style and colour for creating the best handicraft projects ever. Two super prizes from them.               
                             
We welcome a new sponsor for 2020, Blade Rubber Craft who are based in London and one of the few companies in the UK who stock Penny Black stamps. As well as a bricks and mortar shop they have a mail order store. They are offering a lucky winner a £15 store voucher.

We have plenty of inspiration to share with you and first up is Wendy from our sister challenge Allsorts...........

June - Favourite Stamps

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

******Favourite Stamps******

It can be any make of stamp (no digital images) but the focal element must be hand stamped, by that we mean when we look at your work the main element must be stamped, not an addition somewhere else on a mainly non stamped card. You can check our challenge rules here.


With regard to prizes, we do of course have some but given the postal system remains unpredictable, I'm still 'shielding', many shops here in the UK are still unable to open and working reduced hours I am unable to say when prizes will be sent. But I hope this won't stop you joining in the fun.

Here is the inspiration from the Design Team and first up is Wendy our Guest Designer from our sister challenge Allsorts..........
