Twofer Card Challenge #22 ~ Winners!

Hello!

It's time to announce our Winner and Honorable Mentions for Twofer Card Challenge #22 ~ With a Twist! It was fun and inspiring to see the ways you stretched your design skills and used the same stamp, stencil, or die in creative ways on your two different Holiday Greenery layouts! 

Here are the winners!

Congratulations to Marcia (Marcia's Stampin' Pad) #14

Marcia's two Christmas card designs are stunning. The design on the left is an amazing shadow box card that folds flat for mailing. It will become a treasured annual decoration for the lucky recipient. And the textured white blouse, rich plaid skirt, and shiny gold belt elements make her second Christmas card design beautiful and glamorous.

Well done, Marcia! 
Here is your Winner's Badge to proudly display on your blog!

I will be in touch with details about being our future Guest Designer!

Congratulations to our fabulous November Honorable Mentions!

Linda (Life in the Craft Lane) #3

Linda used a sensational holiday wreath to create two different card designs while still keeping both designs clean and simple. She added wonderful touches of splatter, embossing, and glitter to her airy designs to punch things up and keep the eye moving. 

Cheryl (Paper Panacea) #29

Cheryl's two completely different designs are classic and festive. Her die cut tree is a wonderful embellishment on her homemade Kraft DSP with a bold plaid-framed sentiment. The same tree in triplicate gold patterned foil makes her second Christmas card design modern and elegant.

Greta (GG Creations) #38

Greta's first Christmas card design is clean and simple with a fun play of pointed holly leaves against the rounded card corners. Her second Christmas card design is gorgeous with the holly and pine greenery laid out across the bottom edge and the sentiment nestled in the foliage. The bling and delicate gold frame laid on top are fabulous finishes touches.

Izzy (Izzy Scrap) #39

Izzy's Christmas card design is elegant and stylish. The background gold embossing on black gives it a wonderful luxurious feel and the red sentiment panel backed with vellum adds to the richness. In contrast, Izzy created a clean and crisp sympathy card design. Using a single sprig in black, a simple ribbon, and lots of white space, she beautifully evoked the sense of loss.

Vicky (Crafting Clare's Paper Moments) #40

Vicky's first Christmas card design with holiday greenery framing her two-toned sentiment is bright and cheerful and perfect for batch-making. For her second Christmas card design, Vicky placed a sweet deer at the entrance of her window aperture to welcome your eyes to the snowflake-embossed evergreen tree background, which she embellished with a simple sentiment and a garland of glimmering gold.

Congratulations to all you talented ladies!

Here is your Honorable Mention badge for you to display with pride!

Twofer Card Challenge #22 ~ With A Twist!

Hello and Welcome!

Thank you for your amazing entries last month! 

This month our challenge prompt is:

Holiday is any holiday. 

Greenery is defined as: foliage, growing plants, vegetation.

The greenery element you chose can be any color, but you must 

use the same greenery element for both your two different designs.

See below for inspiration!

THE TWIST!

Normally, you need to make two cards for two different occasions. Because so many of us are madly working on Christmas/holiday cards, for this month only, we are forgoing that element of Twofer! 

So for this challenge you may enter two of the same occasion cards! 

Of course, if you'd like to make cards for two different occasions, that's fine, too! It's up to you! All the other rules of the challenge apply. 

If you have any questions about specifics of the challenge, please take a few minutes to review the updated Definitions/Examples tab above, so you'll be eligible to win. We appreciate your enthusiasm and support and want to see you stretch your stamps, stencils, dies, and design skills!

Also, please note there will be no Twofer Card Challenge in December. 

Happy Holidays to all of you from all of us!

Guest Designer

This month we have the conventional winner from our September challenge as our Guest Designer. Please welcome Nancy Leppek (Scrapper at Heart) with her beautiful Holiday Greenery Twofer. Thank you, Nancy!

Twofer Card Challenge #21 ~ Winners!

Hello!

It's time to announce our Winners and Honorable Mentions for Twofer Card Challenge #21! Once again, it was such fun seeing the ways you stretched your design skills and used the same stamp, stencil, or die in creative ways on your two different design layouts for two different occasions!

Here are the winners!

Congratulations to our October Conventional Winner!
Jane (Onions and Paper) #13

Jane used yummy vanilla donuts as her SWEETS prompt. Both her pretty patterned trifold card design and her rainbow-enhanced CAS design showcase her donuts deliciously!

Congratulations to our October Unconventional Winner!

 Jacquie (What Did I Do Today?) #23

Jacquie used sugar cookie dies as her shared SWEETS prompt. She created a box and wrapped her cookies in tissue paper for her unique Christmas card design and she used the star cookie die as real stars to decorate her baby card design!

Well done, Jane and Jacquie! 
Here is your Winner's Badge to proudly display on your blog!

I will be in touch with details about being our future Guest Designers!

Congratulations to our fabulous October Honorable Mentions!

Linda (Scrappin, Stampin' & Singin') #1

Linda used the cutest little gingerbread cookies as her SWEETS element on both her new baby card and her Christmas card. She meticulously colored, masked, and used patterned paper to make these distinctly different and adorable designs!

Rosi (Let's Take Time ...) #8

Rosi used teeny-tiny cupcakes as her SWEETS element on both cards. She cleverly made her cupcakes creepy by turning them into parts of an eyeball bouquet with a creative pumpkin sentiment for her Halloween card and she showcased them under glass in rainbow colors with a colorful Washi tape background for her birthday card!

Sharon B. (Sea View Scrapping) #10

Sharon also used cookies for her SWEETS element and chocolate chip cookies have never looked cuter! Each brilliant design is like a story book cover with sweet pink and brown colors on one and traditional red and green on the other. Every detail is darling on both fun cards!

Sonja (Visiting Oldpunks) #11

Sonja used an ancient NBUS tiered plate of delicious-looking and delicately-colored cakes for her SWEETS element on both her different designs. Her stitched and scalloped oval frame is perfect for the goodies on her holiday card and the cross-stitched background on her encouragement card (pink for BCA month) is reminiscent of high tea linens!

Kathy (My Asperations) #20

Kathy was very inventive with her use of donut icing for her SWEETS element on both her delightful designs! You have to check out the details of how she made that B in BOO for her Halloween card and the inside sentiment on her fabulous friendship card will make you laugh!

Congratulations to all you talented ladies!

Here is your Honorable Mention badge for you to display with pride!

We look forward to seeing your creative Twofer Card Challenge designs next month! The next challenge will run from November 10 to November 24, 2019.

Twofer Card Challenge #20 ~ Winners!

Hello!

It's time to announce our Winners and Honorable Mentions for Twofer Card Challenge #20! Thank you so much for your enthusiasm and your sensational card designs! You all did a wonderful job with the CRITTERS prompt and you rocked the concept of two different designs for two different occasions! 

Once again, it was such fun seeing the ways you stretched your design skills and used the same stamp, stencil, or die in creative ways on both your design layouts!

Here are the winners!

Congratulations to Nancy (Scrapper at Heart)

Nancy has created two very distinct designs using her fabulous fat hen! She was very adept with her masking on her first encouragement card for a friend. She offset her mat panel in order to show the great texture and she tied on her sentiment with a cute button. For her birthday card, she let a solo hen be the star of the show ~ with a little help from the wee egg! Her composition lets the eye flow from top to bottom with lots of interest, texture, and dimension!

Well done, Nancy! 
Here is your Winner's Badge to proudly display on your blog!

Congratulations to our fabulous September Honorable Mentions!

#5 Jenny (My Paper Epiphany)

Jenny's NBUS mice are as sweet as can be! Her birthday card is all stitched up, both faux and die cut, and framed with the embroidery hoop. For her card filled with love and hugs, a wee friend has come along to share the feast with her. Jenny created two adorable clean and simple and distinctly different designs for two different occasions.

#26 Bonnie (Stamping With Klass)

Bonnie's ostriches flat out made the Team laugh! The two designs are different, and each is very appropriate for the occasion sentiment. Bonnie angled the ostriches on her birthday card to give just the right amount of ostrich attitude and the embossing and torn softly-inked edges add lots of interest. Bonnie's Halloween card with her ostrich dressed as a witch is hilarious and enclosing her within the half-circle with a vibrant background draws the eye right to her. 

#31 Barb (Barb's Studio Creations)

Barb's creations are always boldly colored and delightful and these designs reflect that. With her coloring skills, Barb has managed to make these squirrels look completely different as the focal points of both beautifully constructed designs. They seem chilly against the icy blue sky and snowy Christmas landscape and warm and cozy in the cloudy, acorn-embellished autumn landscape.

#34 Marcia (Marcia's Stampin' Pad)

Marcia's light-hearted and distinctly designs showcase her mummy-bunny perfectly! Her Halloween design is just right for a child because the beautiful composition is more adorable than scary. Marcia's get well design using the bunny's mummy wrap as bandages and having him lie on a "bed" is just plain genius!

#39 Clara ([Clark] My Favourite Day)

Both of Clara's vastly different designs are creative and fun! In spite of the sweet panda being black and white, Clara added bright colors with her embellishments. Using kraft and texture with her fun elements for both occasions added even more interest.

Congratulations to all you talented ladies!

Here is your Honorable Mention badge for you to display with pride!

We look forward to seeing your creative Twofer Card Challenge designs next month! The next challenge will run from October 10 to October 24, 2019.
