How Card Making Challenges Inspire Your Creativity

 Sometimes we all need a bit of inspiration when our crafty mojo isn't working well, and I have found card making challenges are a great way to kick start and focus your ideas.

On the weekend of 3rd October, it was World Card Making Day, and Mintay Papers held a series of challenges on their FB page. I joined in, but before I stuck my cards together, I decided to film my process, to show you how I made them.

Hope they give you some crafty ideas too!

Fun and Festive Hunkydory Floating Bridge Cards

Hi Everyone!

Here is the third video in my 'Easy to Make' projects mini series using Crafting with Hunkydory magazine Issue 90.

I think they are really effective and, once again, use very little of the card stock to achieve great results. All instructions are in my video. 


Hope you like them!
