Midway Motivation - Red Alert!

Welcome back to our 

 'Midway Motivation' post here at 

FANTASY STAMPERS.

I am pleased to welcome back a returning Guest Designer today, so please say hello to Helen, who is back to give you a little motivation for our current challenge.  In case you missed it last time, here's a little bit about her ...

http://craftinghelen.blogspot.com/

I've been a card maker for many years and particularly enjoy stamping. I'm lucky enough to be part of the design team for Little Claire, Pink Gem, Nutcrafters and Card Creations Plus, as well as several challenge blogs. For the past two years I've worked for Abbeyfield, which is a charity providing care for older people. I'm an Activities Co-ordinator covering a care home and two sheltered houses.

oooOooo

Here's Helen's gorgeous project for our current challenge 'Red Alert' ...

 'Little Claire' stamp - Poinsettia Cluster

Many thanks, Helen.

So, there is still plenty of time to join us - the current challenge will close on the 21st November, and I will be back with details of our next challenge the following day.

Hugz, Jan xx

#1 - Tamesis

A fab spooky themed tag x

#3 - Kuni

 

Great Halloween colours x

# 23 - Red Alert!

Welcome back to the 

'Fantasy Stampers Challenge'.

Just a reminder if you are new to our challenge - 

your project doesn't have to be 

of a 'Fantasy' nature.

First of all, a huge 'Thank You' to those of you who joined us for our last challenge 'Something Spooky' - we had some great entries. Please don't forget to pop back tomorrow to check out our 'Winner's Post'.

Just to let you know we are always on the lookout for Guest Designers to join us for our 'Midway Motivation' posts on the alternate Saturdays to the challenge.  This opportunity will require you to make two projects on two different themes and would give you the chance to experience being on a design team, without all the extra commitment.  If you are interested in being a 'Guest Designer' please add GDT after your entry below.

oooOooo

So, here we go with Challenge No.23 - our theme for the next two weeks is ...

So, we would love to see your interpretations - will it be red poppies for Remembrance, red for Christmas, or just simply red?

BUT please remember, we are a stamping challenge so your project MUST include stamping and please state clearly which stamp/stamps you used in your blog post (no digital images please). 

Here's what the Design Team made for your inspiration ...

JAN

Stamp - Penny Black 'Wonder Collection'

CINDY

Stamp - A freebie from 'Great British Card Company'

CAZ

Stamp - Home Farm Stamps 'Poinsettia'

JULIE

Now it's over to you - to submit your entry just click on the little blue button below and remember to link your entry back to our blog. We will be around to visit your blogs over the next fortnight and I will be back with details of our next challenge on 22nd November.

Wishing you all lots of luck,

Midway Motivation - Something Spooky

Welcome back to our
 'Midway Motivation' post here at 

FANTASY STAMPERS.

I 'm back again today with our  Guest Designer, Nic to give a little more motivation for our current challenge.  In case you missed it last time, here's a little bit more about her ...

http://coopsclutteredcorner.blogspot.co.uk/

My name is Nic or Coops as many bloggers know me as.  I have been crafting for a few years now and I find it so relaxing - an ideal way to wind down after a day at work. I like to try a variety of styles and I love colouring with my Promarkers, and just lately I have been enjoying using Polychromo pencils too.  I don't feel I have a style unique to me, but I do like to distress the edges a lot on my cards, mainly as my matting and layering is so poor! Lol.

I would like to thank Jan and the rest of the Fantasy Stampers DT for asking me to join them for the month of October as their guest.  It is a huge honour and I really enjoyed making my card for the 'Time Flies' challenge.

oooOooo

Here's Nic's gorgeous project for our current challenge 'Something Spooky' ...

 'Lavinia' stamps - Willow the Witch

Many thanks, Nic.

So, there is still plenty of time to join us - the current challenge will close on the 7th November, and I will be back with details of our next challenge on 8th November.

Hugz, Jan xx
