At the start of 2011 I decided to create a challenge that would help me create more and update my blog more often and I came up with the Paper and Ribbons 52 Cards Challenge.
I am in awe of those crafters that can make a card a day, unfortunately I can't keep up and one a month is too few, so every week I will set myself a challenge to create a card a week based on three simple prompts. It could vary from:
Cosmo Cricket/Ribbon/Male Card
Stamping/Die Cuts/Buttons
See? pretty simple!
I'd love it if any of you wanted to join in and posted links to your cards (tags or other projects using the challenge theme) in the comments section. Remember this is supposed to be fun so you can choose to use, 1, 2 or all 3 of the prompts, it's also completely up to you how you interpret the prompts. It's all about boosting our creativity!
So far the prompts have been:
Wk1 Lilac/Lemon/Embossing
Wk2 Purple/Stripes/Die Cuts
Wk3 Blue/Flourishes/Hello
Wk4 Pink/Buttons/Congratulations
Wk5 Orange/Patterned Paper/With Love
Wk6 Valentine/No Pink or Red/Hearts
Wk7 Purple/Monochromatic/Thanks
WK8 Raspberry/Plastic/Just Because
WK9 Lime/Grey/Handmade Embellishment
Wk10 Vintage/Layers/Decorative Pin
Wk11 Red/Folding/Journalling Spot
Wk12 Brights/Stickers/Unisex
Wk13 Pink/Die Cuts/Flowers
Wk14 Blue/Stamping/Circles
Wk15 Brights/Bling/Ribbon
Wk16 Tangerine/Yellow/Garden
Wk17 Red/Kraft/Tools
Wk18 Yellow/Plastic/Gingham
Unfortunately I just did not have the time to make a new card each week, however the lovely Nat over at Kool Kitty Musings has taken over, find the prompts here.
