PSC#142 Anything Goes!

Welcome to the Poppystamps Challenge! We’re so happy you’ve stopped by, and we sure hope you’ll join us! On the first of the month, we announce a new Poppystamps Challenge with a central theme. The design team will provide samples for inspiration, and you can play along through the end of the month for your chance to win.

The winner of our blog badge for the Poppystamps Challenge #141 Let’s Go! Travel! is Greta H.

The lucky winner of the draw (chosen by random number generator) for the monthly prize is Becca Yahrling. Please contact me (Jeanne) at poppychallenge@gmail.com to claim your prize.

Want to play? The rules are simple – just create a project following the theme, use at least one Poppystamps image or die, and link it up here. The design we love best will receive our winner badge to proudly display on their blog, and one lucky random winner will receive a prize. You don’t have to have a blog to play.  You can link to any online gallery. In fairness to other players, we reserve the right to remove entries that do not use at least one Poppystamps image. We ask that you link a maximum of  3 entries to each challenge. You are welcome to link your design to other challenges. Grab our badge to post on your blog post or sidebar!

PSC#142 Anything Goes! This time there’s  absolutely no excuse not to play!  The challenge this time is anything goes!  So whether you’ve got the upcoming holidays on your mind, want to try a new technique, or just feeling a little crafty, we’d love to see what you’re up to!  The challenge is not limited to cards – we’d love to see your page layouts, home decor, tags, and mixed media.   It’s your choice, just be sure to use at least one Poppystamps image (stamp or die) on your project! 

Meet our September Guest Franka selected by design team member Jeanne

You might know Franka as Inkami who I got to know through our monthly challenge here at Poppystamps. Franka has a great eye for color and composition and I’m always delighted by her makes! She’s never afraid to get inky and has a way of making the images the focus of her clean designs.

My name is Franka and I started making cards in 2017. My favorite techniques are die cutting, fun folds and coloring with alcohol and Zig markers. I’m the Captain of a Girl Guides group and love the beach, hiking and camping, I turned 50 this year and it was not as traumatic as I thought it would have been! Thanks to Poppystamps for this gracious invitation!

Need a little inspiration?  Here are some samples from our design team.  Want a closer look?   No worries.. we’ll be featuring these projects on Wednesdays throughout the month, so you can see how each project was created.
