Color Hues Challenge #131 - Coral and Green - Wishing You the Best Day Blooms (Better Press Society Nov. 2025)

Hello,

Welcome to Colour Hues Challenge #131, where our hostess, Sheri, invites us to play with hues of Coral and Green for the next two weeks.  This cheery combination is lovely, especially during Spring.

We're delighted to have Kelly of kellys.craft as our guest designer. 

Another Better Press Society plate has come out for a play. This plate is pretty better pressed or glimmered - and even more versatile in having an accompanying stencil and dies. 

Please visit the main blog to see fabulous inspiration from our guest designer and my talented teammates.
Looking forward to seeing how Coral and Green inspire you.

The challenge will be open until April 29th @ 9:00 am (EST). 

The winners will be posted an hour before our next challenge and the overall

 winner will have the opportunity to be a future Guest Designer.

Thank you for dropping by!

Hello,

Welcome to Just Us Girls Challenge #819, where Bobby has selected this pretty Spring/April mood board as inspiration this week.  A larger version of the image is available on the main blog. 

We're delighted to have Rosemary joining us as our April Guest Designer.

Drawing inspiraiton from the umbrellas, rainbow colours, geometric shapes and 'text',  I reached for a set of rub-ons from 49 & Market to make my Spring collage-style card.  A simple celebrate sentiment finished it off.

AAA Cards Challenge #312 - Butterfly Hello (Simply Stated Design)

Hello,

Welcome to AAA Cards Challenge #312 - Follow My Lead. The 'lead' we're following is Jane, who's pretty card you'll see below. 

My take on Jane's card is pretty clear: a strip of pretty paper, a bold 'sentiment' - which in my case is a butterfly, and a friendly "hi" - evident on my card as a 'hello'.
I'm rather smitten with Jane's inspiring card; a design that I'm sure I'll be reaching for again.

Inkspirational Challenge #365 - Visual Prompt - Sketch - Radiating Blooms Thank You

Hello,

Welcome to Inspirational Challenge #365 where we invite you to get creative with our Visual Prompt: SKETCH. It’s been five years since our last sketch challenge, so we’re excited to bring one back

This design is simple and flexible. Feel free to adapt it to suit your style — your card base doesn’t need to be square and the smaller shapes in the lower right can be any shape you like. As long as your project captures the essence of the sketch, you’re all set!

My card follows the sketch closely, only because I had some stenciled squares from my Better Press Society Radiating Blooms on my desk; leftovers from another project. Pulled out some nesting square dies, added a few blingy bits and ta da...done! 

Please head to the main blog to see fabulous inspiration from my teammates.
Looking forward to a gallery filled with your interpretations of the sketch!
