Challenge # 839 - Use the Force!

Happy New Year's Eve, all!  We're here with our last challenge of 2025 - Use the Force!  That means we'd like to see those creations where some type of force was involved with the making.  So think, embossing folder, die cuts, foiling, crimper, punch, letterpress - if you exerted any pressure in the making of your project, it's in!  You could even make a case that stamping is using force, after all, if you don't press down on the stamp, you aren't getting an impression - so that's in too! 

And remember, we're not just about cards.  We'd love to see your scrapbook layout, journal page, bookmark, tag, altered item - any papercraft goes!

This is what I did....

As you can see, I've used an embossing folder for the background, as well as die cuts and a stamp.  Nothing to it!

If you would like more inspiration, do check out what the Girlfriends have made.  Then head on back here and link up your project.  Can't wait to see what you create!

Challenge # 837 - J is for Just one Word

Hello and welcome back to a brand new Challenge ! It´s me, Imke and i continue with the A, B, C theme and this week it´s :

"J is for Just one Word"

As you know by now, I love CAS cards. Quick, easy, and yet great. This penguin is ideal because there isn't much to color. Plus, the saying is perfect for so many occasions – very versatile ! 

I'm looking forward to your projects and am curious to see which word you choose.

Don´t forget, you can link to anything that fits the topic - not just cards. Link your project below using the Linkytool. And take a look at the works of my girlfriends. They are linked with a "DT" in the name.
