10 Minute Craft Dash #4 Highlights

Hi there!

It’s time to announce the highlights for the 10 Minute Craft Dash #4. I am absolutely loving the variety of entries being submitted in my challenge. The other amazing thing? We have people all over the WORLD submitting- such a neat thing to see!

Before I go onto the details of this email, I have a semi-sad announcement to make. As some may have noticed, Ginny hasn’t been around in blog land as much lately. She has recently moved to a new place, gotten a new job and then also joined her first official DT. That’s a lot of changes! She’ll be stepping down from her spot with me after this next challenge, but you may see her join along IN the challenges sometime in the future. :)

Now for the winner…..
Congratulations to ~Tammy~

Christmas in October?

Hi there!
This is going to be a short post….I’m fighting a sickness bug and shouldn’t even be on the computer. However, I just couldn’t let another day go by without bringing you another card using the current 10 Minute Craft Dash colors. Oh how I love this color combo!
My card today features all DeNami Design stamps/ products. I wanted to do something a little different and went the route of creating a Christmas card with these colors. I’m so happy with how it turned out!
 Time it took to create: 8 minutes 9 seconds
Don’t you just love the Berry Vine Sprig? I haven’t played with it too much {yet!}, but I just puffy heart it. It would be great for Thanksgiving cards, everyday cards…..it’s a good one to have!

I hope YOU come join us in the 10 Minute Craft Dash. There are still four days left to enter– hurry and get your entries in. Oh, did I mention there’s a great prize? *wink*

Thanks for visiting!

10 Minute Craft Dash #4

Hello!

Ready for a brand new 10 Minute Craft Dash? This particular color palette is one that I am utterly in love with and it works SO well with cards for either gender! Not only can you use these colors for everyday cards, they can also be used for holiday cards!

I have had the privilege of being a guest designer for the company that is sponsoring this challenge, WPlus 9 Design Studio. Over the years, my collection of their stamps has grown- they have so many awesome sets! For my card today, I paired Funky Foliage and Very Vintage Greetings. Love how quick this card came together!

Time it took to create: 7 minutes 25 seconds

Here’s a sneak peek at what Ginny created for the challenge. Be sure to visit her blog for the whole thing- it’s super cute!

Time it took to create: 7 minutes 29 seconds

I’m so thrilled to have WPlus9 Design Studio sponsoring a prize. Right now, they’re in the middle of sneak peeks for their new release, so I’m SUPER thrilled some of the DT gals were able to find time to play along in this challenge. Each of these gals have unique styles and I know that they have created some beauties to share. Be sure to take a peek at their blogs to see their 10 Minute Craft Dash creations!

Last Call for the Craft Dash #3!

Hi there!
Just a quick little post today. I wanted to remind you all that TODAY is the last day to enter your crafty creations into the current 10 Minute Craft Dash! I couldn’t resist creating one more card using these colors. After all, with Fall here now, we’ll be going into more rich and warm colors soon. I had to take advantage of the bright, happy colors a little bit more!
I pulled out my DeNami stamps for this card. I just love how easy it is to create cards using our stamps in a short amount time. The days of me spending hours on cards is quickly going by the wayside. 10 minute cards are the way to go!
 Time it took to create: 8 minutes 8 seconds
Go and grab some stamps and some hot pink, green and yellow products and get crafty with me! Can’t wait to see what you create for the 10 Minute Craft Dash!

Lemonade Friends

Good morning!
I hope you all had a great weekend. Mine started out pretty good and then my back and neck started to act up. Thank goodness I have a chiropractor/ massage therapy appointment tonight!
Since we have our 10 Minute Craft Dash Challenge #3 running right now {sponsored by Lawn Fawn}, I thought I would share another card I created with the colors we are featuring right now. I just love how happy these ones are!
  Time it took to create: 9 minutes 30 seconds
I have to say that these little stamps are just adorable and I have so much fun playing with them! Curious as to where I got the yummy bright yellow ribbon? Wait for it…..Walmart! While I was picking up my perscriptions recently, I had some extra time and browsed the craft section. Imagine my delight when I saw this ribbon, along with a few other colors I *needed*. :)
This challenge still has a few days left- hurry and get your entries in! The winner receives their choice of any Lawn Fawn set AND you get a badge that you can proudly display on your blog. Come join us in the fun and be sure to let your friends know as well!
Thanks for stopping by today, I hope your Monday is off to a great start!

Thanks A Bunch + Instagram

Hi there!
Today I have a sweet and simple card to share that I made using the current 10 Minute Craft Dash #2 colors (and of course, it took less than 10 minutes). It’s amazing how much can be accomplished in such a short amount of time- just take a look at some of the entries we’ve received already!
Time it took to create: 7 minutes 3 seconds
Lately, I’ve had to rely on a lot of people to help me with various things, due to the accident. I’m still not fully over my anxiety over driving, so my family and friends have been chauffeuring me around to my various appointments. This little card design will come in handy when I give people thank you cards for all they have done.

Would you believe that I only used TWO stamps on this card? Both of these stamps are so versatile and perfect all year round. (complete supply list below) 

I hope you’ll join along in the 10 Minute Craft Dash! There’s still five days left to enter AND we have an awesome prize this time around. Also, be sure to check out the amazing samples our special designers created- they will blow you away!

In closing, for those who are on Instagram and participate….join along in the hashtag fun!

10 Minute Craft Dash #2

Good morning!

It’s time for our second 10 Minute Craft Dash challenge! The last one was met with such amazing success (and joy)- we hope the second one follows suit. We eased you into the first one by allowing any colors to be used; however, this one we’ll have you used the colors above (neutrals are allowed) AND also be created under 10 Minutes. Sound impossible? It isn’t. :)

Here is what I came up with…..

Time it took to create: 9 minutes 12 seconds

Here is a little peek at what Ginny created– you’ll have to go to her blog to view the whole thing! :)

Time it took to create: 9 minutes 39 seconds

I am excited to have some very special names to help spread the word and also inspire us with their stunning 10 Minute creations. These ladies each have such a unique style and are quite well known in blog/ crafty magazine land.  Be sure to visit each of their blogs to see their stunning 10 Minute Card Dash creations.
