Today is the day…..I’ll be announcing the new 10 Minute Craft Dash DT! Seven talented gals from all across the globe on one team?! Stay tuned, it’s happening later this morning!

Before I can get to the announcement, I wanted to be sure to take care of the 10 Minute Craft Dash #20 Highlights post. Seeing the bright colors all over blog land was so fun and I loved all of the different occasions you were able to pair this color palette with!

If you go there and go to “exclusives”, you get to see the next 10 Minute Craft Dash challenge a day early!

In closing, I wanted to mention that I started a new tab under the “craft dash” section here on the blog.

10 Minute Craft Dash #20

It’s time for a new 10 Minute Craft Dash and I have a returning sponsor, along with many special guests! This time around, I went the route of some bright and summery colors and I LOVE them paired together. Between the samples from the Craft Dash DT and the designers from the sponsors’ DT, you all are going to have so much inspiration, I’m hoping you won’t be able to resist joining along. *wink*

* If you aren’t able to stay within the 10 minutes, you can still link up your item! While it won’t quality for the winner spot, it still could qualify as a favorites pick!

*New card picture and video on how to create the card from start-to-finish, will be uploaded soon!

Please join me in welcoming DeNami Design, the sponsor of this challenge! As some of you may know, I actually work for this company as my full-time job, so they have a special place in my heart. With their growing collection of stamps and accessories, and a new release around the corner, this prize is one that will definitely come in handy.

If you were inspired by the cards above, just wait until you see what the DeNami DT has whipped up! These gals are all so very talented {and super sweet} and I really adore working with them. Be sure to visit each of their blogs so you can see what they created!

10 Minute Craft Dash #19 Highlights

The 10 Minute Craft Dash #19 challenge ended on Saturday and it’s time to announce the highlights! OHMYWORD, you all did a phenomenal job with these colors. It’s so funny, the color palettes that I’m not sure will be popular are the ones that you all showcase the best! It made my heart giddy that there were SO many newbies joining along this time around. I LOVE seeing that word of the challenge is spreading- thank you to everyone who continues to help with this!

Before we get to the winner and favorites, I wanted to let you all know that I’ll be starting a new tab under the “craft dash” section here on the blog.

10 Minute Craft Dash #19

Welcome to a new 10 Minute Craft Dash challenge! As I was going through the previous color palettes {available here}, I noticed it had been quite a while since I featured red, so I thought it was time to change that. Add in a little light yellow and light blue, and we have a fun and versatile color palette.

* If you aren’t able to stay within the 10 minutes, you can still link up your item! While it won’t quality for the winner spot, it still could qualify as a favorites pick!

Now onto the great prize! I’m so thrilled to announce that Timeless Twine will be sponsoring this challenge. They have a great assortment of twine colors and the quality is superb. My favorite part? Their colors are unique and different than others I have used or found in crafting and we all know that a rainbow of twines is a must-have.

Some of the Timeless Twine-istas were able to join along in the fun and bring you some inspiration. Be sure to visit the Timeless Twine blog, along with the designers blogs to check out all of the lovely inspiration!

Cards | Craft Dash | WPlus9

Time Spent With Friends + VIDEO

Have I mentioned how much I love the 10 Minute Craft Dash #17 colors? These colors make my swoon. My craft room has many aqua elements in it and if I end up finding some perfect coral pieces, I would add them in a heartbeat. Sadly, it doesn’t seem like many decor designers have perfected this perfect color. If you’ve found some items that you think would qualify as coral, I’d love to see pictures or links!

Today I have a card showcasing some of my favorite WPlus9 stamps and the colors for the challenge. How awesome is this sentiment? I’ve never used it before this card, but I know that I’ll definitely be pulling it out for more cards soon.

Time it took to create: 9 minutes 50 seconds

I filmed a video on my mad dash to create this card. Oh boy, this one was a close one- I almost didn’t think I was going to finish in time! Thank goodness for embellishments that already have adhesive on them!

Watch video below | Watch on YouTube

If you haven’t already, I hope that you’ll join in the fun for the 10 Minute Craft Dash #17. There have been so many beautiful entries thus far- I hope you’ll add yours to the list!

Polka Dot Background

WPlus9 Folk Art Florals

Shadow Ink: Mid-Tone, Tide Pool

Rich Cocoa Memento

NOT LISTED: cardstocks, pearls, coral ink, decorative die cut, scallop border punch

10 Minute Craft Dash #17

It’s time for a brand new challenge and I hope you’re ready for some pretty colors. When I had first picked these colors a while back, I had no idea they would be one of the “it” color combos. Whoever chooses these trendy colors knows what they’re doing- they colors are swoon worthy!

Before I showcase this card, I wanted to let you all know that our beloved Jess had to step down from her DT position. Since we’re getting close to the end of the term for the current DT, I won’t be looking to replace this spot. However, there has been some talk that there just might be an upcoming DT call in the future. Stay tuned!

Today we have a returning sponsor, along with some of their talented DT. Please join me in welcoming WPlus9! Many of our beloved Craft Dash participants are fans of this company and I’m so thrilled it worked out for them to sponsor once again. With their growing collection of stamp sets, dies and accessories, I know the winner will enjoy spending this gift certificate!

We have five of the WPlus9 girls joining us for this challenge as special guests. Be sure to visit their blogs and see their beautiful creations using this color palette!
