Crazy 4 Challenges - C4C614

Hi Crazy Fans,

Hi everyone, and welcome to the LAST "Crazy" challenge for the year 2021!!!

Sadly I have to let you know, that this will be our final challenge here on this blog. After 13 years of lots of fun challenges, it is time to say goodbye. When we first started doing challenges there weren't many challenge blogs out there, now there are so many. And due to issues with Covid etc, some of our Design Team members have had to bid us farewell this past year or two. 

So I would firstly like to thank all the wonderful Design Team members who have supported our blog and played along over the years, without them this blog would never have happened. Thank you for those of you who played along privately, we appreciated your support too. 

From all of us Crazies: A VERY Merry Christmas to you and yours!!

Now onto our challenge.....

We have an easy one this week to end the year. Everyone likes sketches right? And we had 11 fun sketches to play with during 2021. So our challenge this week is to select your favorite ‘crazy’ sketch from this year to create your card.

 Hi Crazy Fans,

It's Frances here with this week's Crazy 4 Challenges challenge.

Die Cuts Only 

Create a card that is created using dies only, no stamps. If you must, you can use a stamp for the sentiment, but bonus points if you only use dies.

Let's take a look at the cards our Design Team created...

Crazy 4 Challenges - C4C608

Hi Crazy Fans! Welcome to the last week of October!

This week let's add some 

TEXTURE

with a dimensional liquid or paste element on your card. Some examples are texture, crackle, molding or embossing paste; glass bead gel, Liquid pearls, Nuvo Mousse or drops, Crystal Glaze or Glossy Accents (used dimensionally, not as glue).

Thanks for playing along with my challenges this month.

I just love the third week of our challenges as we always have a sketch, which is one of my favourite types of challenges!

This sketch is PERFECT for using up scraps of paper. It's also great for border papers that can otherwise be a bit tricky to use!

Enjoy, Rebecca

Crazy 4 Challenges - C4C605

Welcome Back! This week, let's use a very elegant palette!

Ivory, White and Gold

If that sounds intimidating, think about using different amounts of texture and dimension to allow each element to stand out. I like to use different cardstock finishes like metallic and glitter, stencilling, and ornate die cuts with texture from pastes and embossing folders.

Can't wait to see what you make, 

Rebecca Ednie.
