We're sponsoring Charisma Cards!

The theme over at Charizma Cards is 'Bling' and what could be more blingy than this great glitter matstack from Die Cuts With a View.  This is the prize up for grabs so get on over, have a look at the fab cards produced by the Design Team and have a go.

I've made a card just for fun.  The cardstock (plain and mirrored) is from Craft UK which you can find here at Donna's Den of Crafts.  The image is Dustin Pike and the sticker is from Dovecraft Handcrafted Boutique.

I've shown you the inside as I also have these great insert sheets for sale.  They're ideal for making a batch of stock cards to sell.

Our first challenge is here, woohoo!

I can't tell you how excited I am about this.  It's been quite hectic for the last few weeks but we're here with our first challenge.


The theme for our first challenge will be 'Happy Birthday' and since it's our opening challenge which is very special, I'm pleased to say that the prize is extra-special too!

The challenge will close at midnight BST (British Summer Time) on 27th June 2010 and the rules are
1. The card must be new for us although you can combine with other challenges.
2. You need to follow the theme/sketch that is set.
3. You can enter more than one card into the challenge (up to a maximum of 3 entries)


Leave your name and a direct link to your entry (not just to your blog) in Mr Linky below.  If Mr Linky is not there for some reason then leave the details in the comments and I'll add you in when I'm doing the draw.

'Happy Birthday' to a brand new challenge

So here is my DT card for the first challenge here on Donna's Den of Crafts.  Our theme is Happy Birthday and you can find all the details as well as the rest of the Design Team's cards in the post above.

For this card I've used Bazzill Basics Cardstock which was cut 4"x12" then tri-folded to make a 4"x4" square card.  It's hard to see from the photo but the layer between the yellow and turquoise is actually a dotty patterned paper.  This and the DP used inside are from the DCWV Citrus range.  The image is called Lenny and he's from Prairie Fairy.  I've coloured him using Prismacolors and blended with Sansodor.  The sentiment inside is computer generated and the stickers are also from the DCWV Citrus range.  The ribbon was from my stash.

Please pop over to the main post and join our challenge.  As it's our first week, there's an extra special prize and we're really hoping for a good turnout.

Popcorn Kids now in stock

The wonderful Popcorn Bear is back again, this time with some images inspired by 'Kids'.  I love this School Days set (who am I kidding - I love 'em all) because of the 'front' and 'back' image.  I can just see it on a twirler card or on some acetate for a Teacher card in July.

The whole range of Popcorn Stamps and CD's can be found here.  Pop over and have a look.

Please pop back tomorrow to see the launch of our brand new fortnightly challenge.

We're sponsoring C.R.A.F.T. this week.

This week we're sponsoring the challenge over on C.R.A.F.T. whose theme is Father's Day.  The prize up for grabs is a Decoupage Set from the Retro Rose collection together with these wonderful brads.

Please take a look over at C.R.A.F.T. and have a go at winning a prize.  If you don't win you can always treat yourself :).
