Hey all - I haven't been doing challenges for a bit - so am going to start something new - a FIRST MONDAY CHALLENGE.  On the first Monday of each month you can check my blog (and my Crazy Stamping Lady! Facebook business page) for that month's challenge.  Then you will have till midnight three Sundays later to post your card challenge picture on the post in Facebook or you can email me your photo indicating it is for the First Monday Challenge that month - crazystampinglady@gmail.com.  On the next day after the deadline I will draw for a winner and that person will receive a fun embellishment or dsp sampler from me by mail.  So hoping many of you will join in the fun!

So here is your challenge this month - entries must be received by my no later than midnight on Sunday, September 27, 2020.  On Monday, September 28, 2020 I will draw for a winner from all the entries.  Use the colors indicated below to create a card of your choice.  Those using all five colors will get a bonus entry.  Watch my FB Live video on Tuesday, September 8 at 9:30 AM (MST) if you'd like to see what I can come up with for this challenge.  Can't wait to see what you all create!! Have fun with this.

Challenge #7 -  So here is the deal - your card does not have to use Stampin' Up! products - although I would LOVE that.   So, if you don't have these exact colors use ones you have that are as close as possible.  You do not need to use all four colors - but you do need to use at least two of them - and you can add neutrals ie. black, white, vanilla if you like.  If you use all four colors above - you get a bonus entry.  Once done, you need to go to my facebook page search Crazy Stamping Lady - like the page if you have not done so; and post your picture of your card in the comments of the Challenge #5 Post. Here's the direct link to my FACEBOOK page - click HERE.
BONUS OFFER -
And, since I am trying to get as many people as possible to play along - if you invite a friend to play - and they post a picture and mention you invited them - not only will they get an entry - but you'll get a BONUS entry too.  I'll upload an inspiration card to this post - once I make one lol!

Now it's your turn - pick your colors from those above - make your card - and post to my Facebook page no later than Noon, Sunday, May 10 for a chance to win a little prize from me - good luck!  Can't wait to see all your cards.    ~Maureen

April Christmas Cards Stamp Camp - Part 1

Sharing the first card we made at my April Christmas Card Stamp Camp.  It's a little non-traditional for a Christmas card - but I really like it.  I used Snowflake Soiree and stamped the Snowflake in Coastal Cabana, then punched out with the flower punch.  To give it some pop, I stamped a small snowflake with Momento Black and punched just the center to add to the center of the large snowflake.  Then added a gem in the middle.  Some of these items are retired - but its that in-between time on our catalogs that I end up doing that.  Good thing is the new Catty that starts in June has some Christmas card sets this year - woo, hoo!!!

Added my sentiment, layered it up, popped on some ribbon and all done - beautiful!!  ~Maureen
