Challenge 9 - Sketch with a twist

Thanks so much to all of you lovely crafters who joined in with challenge 8, we really enjoyed seeing all your male cards and have been inspired by each and every one!
See our chosen winner and top 3 at the end of this post.

This week the challenge theme is a sketch and there is also a twist, we'd like to see the colours below the sketch as the predominant colours on your creation. The sketch can be flipped or rotated just so long as we can see the basic design in your project.

This time our sponsor is Glitterbabe, her store Glitterbabe's Digis is stuffed with a huge variety of digi images for every occasion - well worth a visit!

Please remember you must use a digi stamp on your creation and while we would love

for you to use a Cardmadfairy image it is not necessary for your entry.

However if you use one of our digi stamps you may enter as often as you like,
but if your entry uses a digi from another source you are limited to only one entry per person.  

(All Cardmadfairy Digi Stamps can be found here, there are some newly released designs just added.)

Here is some inspiration from our design team who are using these recently released images
which of course can be found in the digi stamp shop

Challenge 8 - For the Boys

Thanks so much to everyone who entered our wedding challenge - not so many of you this week but maybe we're all wedding'd out now!!! Anyway we still enjoyed checking out the blogs of those of you who entered a project and you will find our chosen winner and this week's top 3 at the end of this post.

Our new challenge for the next two weeks is For the Boys - create a card or project for the male of the species. Most of our design team have been using my latest design - Zac on their cards and I'm just delighted at the variety of lovely designs they've come up with! Our challenge is sponsored by MeiFlower who have a fab online shop with a great range of toppers and embellishments for all your cardmaking - a £10 voucher for the shop will go to the lucky winner :o)

Challenge 7 - Weddings

Today is a very special day for at least one happy couple - although I'm sure there are a huge number of other not so famous couples tying the knot - so we thought it was appropriate to make the theme of our new challenge Weddings.

Please remember you must use a digi stamp on your creation and while we would love it to be a Cardmadfairy image it is not necessary for your entry. However if you use one of our digi stamps you may enter as often as you like, but if your entry uses a digi from another source you are limited to only one entry per person. (All Cardmadfairy Digi Stamps can be found here, there are some newly released designs just added.)

Our sponsor for this challenge is Whoopsie Daisy who very kindly provided some lovely wedding themed digis which some of the design team have used on their creations.

New images added to the Digi Stamp Shop

I have just added some lovely new springtime images to the digi stamp shop - only 99p each or £5 for the set of six images. I think they work brilliantly for paper piecing - check out the samples below!

 

We have a winner!

Our random winner of last fortnight's challenge is number 32 - that's you Min. Get in touch with Jenni at the address in the sidebar for details of how to claim your prize. Here is Min's fun card:

New challenge and new rules!

Hi, welcome back everyone - there were a lot of fantastic entries to our last challenge and the team have really enjoyed looking though and commenting on them, pop back later to see who our random winner is.

We are making changes to the rules for the next and all future challenges - there are such a lot of lovely cards entered for the challenges that we think it is fairer to reward the effort going into them by choosing a winner and top three each fortnight. The winner will get the prize from our sponsor and the top 3 will each receive a Cardmadfairy Digi Stamp!

Please remember you must use a digi stamp on your creation and while we would love it to be a Cardmadfairy image it is not necessary for your entry. However if you use one of our digi stamps you may enter as often as you like, but if your entry uses a digi from another source you are limited to only one entry per person. (All Cardmadfairy Digi Stamps can be found here.)

Onto this week's challenge which is a Recipe - Use 1 digital image, 2 patterned papers and 3 embellishments (3 different or 3 the same as long as there are 3!)
We are excited to have the Waxfruit Company as the sponsor for this challenge

Challenge 5 - Easter

Hi everyone, it's Friday and we're back with a brand new challenge for you today: Easter.

We'd love to see all of your Easter projects - cards, bookmarks, altered art, gifts - anything as long as it fits the theme!

We had a lot of fun checking out all of the entries to the last challenge and will be back later today with our winner announcement.

This fortnight's sponsor is:

"Chi Chi Memories is the labor of love of talented artist and illustrator Natalie Tong.  Natalie's background in graphic design has helped her create the very happy world of Chi Chi Memories.  Her line of digi images centers around kids Jordy and Candace and their world of animal friends such as Freddie the elephant and Teddy the bear, among others.  Natalie's designs are meant to spread happiness and cheer around blogland.  You can visit Chi Chi Memories at the shop (where you can find FREEBIES), the blog and challenges.  There is also a Papercraft Planet group for you come share your work with Chi Chi Memories images and chat. 

We are so excited to be sponsoring CardMadFairy's Digi Day challenge."

We really hope you will join in with our new challenge but please remember you must use a digi stamp on your creation and although it doesn't have to be a Cardmadfairy image you will get two entries to the draw if you do use one for your entry. We'd also like to remind you that we have a maximum of 2 entries per person, any extra entries will be removed and excluded from the draw.

Here is what the design team members have come up with for this challenge,

looking forward to seeing yours!
