Creative Challenges

If you’re looking for a fun, creative challenge, look no further—we have one ready to go! This challenge involves creating a card from a hand-drawn card sketch.

To complete this challenge, we took the In Color 6″ x 6″ (15.2 x 15.2 cm) Designer Series Paper Assortments and cut each pattern into the correct size according to the sketch. We adhered those pieces to a Boho Blue card panel with Stampin’ SEAL, then adhered the card panel to the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Using the Wanted to Say Dies, we die cut the sentiment from Wild Wheat Cardstock and the sentiment shadow from Basic White Cardstock. We used Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere the sentiment pieces together, and then we adhered it to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. We finished the card with a few 2023–2025 In Color Dots.

Try out this challenge next time you need some crafting inspiration!

Hello Spring

Thank you to everyone who helped me with the color selection for this card at Stamp-Along Saturday. It was a tough choice between a Misty Moonlight, Boho Blue, or Flirty Flamingo egg. I just love the Flight & Airy Sale-a-bration paper behind the egg. Give your bunny some shimmer with the Clear Wink of Stella.

Stamp, then cut out Easter eggs and bunnies for cards and gift tags in minutes with the Excellent Eggs bundle. Combine stamp images and dies to create colorful and dimensional accents to welcome Easter and the arrival of spring!
