01 Mar Paper Sweeties Challenge | March 2017!
Hello crafty friends! It’s that time of the month again … time for a NEW challenge at Paper Sweeties! Before we share the new inspiration board, let’s congratulate last month’s challenge winner … the votes are in and I’m thrilled to announce our latest winner of the February challenge: Leanne!
Contact us, Leanne, to claim your $25 gift certificate prize … and here’s a {sweet} badge to display on your blog!
Paper Sweeties hosts monthly challenges here on the blog and in our Facebook Group! Each 1st of the month we will have a brand new inspiration board to help spark your creativity! It’s as easy as 1-2-3 to create, share and win:
1. CREATE a NEW project based on the current inspiration board using ANY of your favorite crafty supplies … you don’t have to use products from Paper Sweeties, but we would LOVE if you did! Use this month’s board as a starting point for your project — be inspired by one or more of the colors, shapes, theme … ANYTHING GOES!
2. POST a direct link to your project in the link gallery below (if using your blog, please link to your blog post not your entire blog so we can find your creation) or UPLOAD a photo of your project to our FACEBOOK GROUP CHALLENGE ALBUM . No blog or not on Facebook, no problem — you can use any of our online galleries to add your project link: Instagram, Flickr, Pinterest or Splitcoast Stampers – (keyword papersweeties). Contact us if you have questions or need assistance!
3. LINK back to this blog post so your followers can find us too! (Back linked posts will not be considered for the monthly prize).
Our challenge will run for the entire month. You can play along as many times as you wish and combine with as many other challenges as you want! The challenges will end at 12 pm EST on the last day of each month. The winner will be revealed on the 1st of each month!
This month’s inspiration board:
HOW will YOU be inspired this month — colors, theme, shapes, patterns? I was inspired by the colors in the inspiration photo along with the coffee theme in this month’s beautiful photo! (CLICK on the photos for close up views):
I am sneaking a couple new stamp and die sets that will be releasing in the Paper Sweeties boutique on the 15th of the month! The coffee cup, steam and coordinating dies are from the *new* Keep calm and drink coffee sets and the sentiment inside the banner die is from the *new* Planner Series: Coffee set!
I created the coffee cup by stamping on black cardstock using Versamark ink and then embossing with white powder. The steam is die cut using white glitter cardstock. Here are the other goodies I used to create this card:
