Challenge Blog Update

We're making some changes to the Challenge Blog and wanted to update you so you know when and where to find all of your favorite challenges throughout the month! :)

Starting this month, all of our monthly challenge posts will be hosted on our main blog and will no longer be here on the Challenge Blog. These challenges include the following:

Wednesday Sketch Challenge
Color Challenge 
The Birthday Project Challenge

All of the challenges will remain the same - they will just have a new home and a new start time of 12pm EDT.

While we will no longer be doing a weekly Spotted post, we're always so thrilled to see what our customers and followers are creating and will still be highlighting projects that catch our eye on social media.  Share your cards on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook using the hashtag #mftstamps. 

Thank you so much for spending time with us here on the Challenge blog - we appreciate you and all of the projects you've shared. 

See you tomorrow, April 3, at 12pm EDT on the main blog for Sketch Challenge 431!

Cassie has shared some amazing inspiration this month. She is back today with one last March Sketch Challenge. Thanks so much for joining us, Cassie!

Cassie used this week's sketch as inspiration for her adorable scene featuring the birds and kitty from the Purr-fect Friends stamp set. She added a tree branch with 3 bird images for the heart elements and kept the sentiment placement the same as the sketch layout. The cat image peeking from the bottom of her card adds a fun, playful look to her design.

Angelica incorporated bold splashes of color onto her design with three stamped characters layered on top. She added a subtle strip of stamping under her focal elements to help ground them on her design and finished her card with a white embossed sentiment on a black background.

Anna decided to keep two of the heart elements on her design and used them to accent her sweet sheep image holding the third heart. A mound of grass adds detail to her scene, while the stamped sentiment directly below it completes her design.

Congratulations, Christine! You are the randomly selected winner of last week’s sketch challenge.

We're welcoming Cassie back to the Challenge Blog today for her take on this week's sketch.

Cassie kept her design similar to the sketch and used the triangle elements to highlight her scene. The soft ink color used to stamp out her images keeps the complete design visible with the focus remaining on the colored areas.

Karolyn swapped out the triangle elements for a unique Mod Square design. Adding different colors behind each of her die-cut windows provides a cheery, colorful palette that coordinates nicely with her stamped rainbow and die cut hearts.

Nicole used the triangle elements on her design to create greenery for her sweet owl image and added contrast by stamping her leaves in various shades of green. Foam adhesive behind her stamped owl adds dimension to her one layer design and keeps it the focus on the card.

Congratulations, Tania! You are the randomly selected winner of last week’s sketch challenge.

Wednesday Sketch Challenge - Sketch 428

We're welcoming Cassie back to the Challenge Blog today for her take on this week's sketch.

Cassie created an adorable scene with a cloud-filled background to highlight her characters. She used the sketch as inspiration for the placement of her sentiment and added her playful stacked critters to complete her design.

Anna used the sketch as inspiration for her trio of windows featuring three of the sweet cats from the Purrfect Friends stamp set. She used similar colors on each of her stamped characters and added a bold colorful sentiment strip with a white heat embossed greeting.

Nicole kept her card design very similar to the sketch and created a set of stitched squares to highlight her bird images. Adding the kraft panel behind her focal elements and stamped sentiment strip really helps them stand out and remain the focus on her card.

Congratulations, Kathy! You are the randomly selected winner of last week’s sketch challenge.
