Challenge # 842 - K is for Keep it Simple

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 :

"K is for Keep it simple"

As you know by now, I love CAS cards. This great snowman image is perfect for that. It's super quick to color and fits the weather in Germany. We had snow again last week after a long time!

I'm looking forward to your projects !

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.

Challenge #840 - Happy New ???

Happy New Year from all of us here at Little Red Wagon. I have the pleasure of of kicking off the 2026 challenges. Iʻm leaving this one to a certain extent, up to you. The key word this week is new. You can create a Happy New Year card or a new baby, house, job etc card or you could use a happy new technique or new stamp or new die. Just let me know in your post how new relates to your project. I mentioned cards in the description, but remember we are happy to see any of your papercrafted projects.

Iʻve chosen to use a new stamp and a new die to create a "just because" card. I also tried something new by gluing gold metallic wrapping paper to a heavy cardstock to create a metallic cardstock.

Be sure to check out the Girlfriends, their creations are always fun and inspiring to see. Hope to see your link below.

You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!

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!

The Story

One day a group of girlfriends got together to play with their papers, stamps, markers, ribbons, buttons and the rest of their seemingly endless supply of other 'have-to-have' scrapbooking and card making goodies. It was so much fun to talk, share, laugh and create with each other that they decided to create a blog that would motivate, inspire and challenge them on a weekly basis to use some of the supplies they have acquired. They also thought it would be fun to have all the other girlfriends out there join in and share their creations based on the weekly challenges. So, grab your wagon full of goodies (we know you have one!), get creative and have fun!
