A fun new challenge started over on Instagram last week using the hashtag #fffcardmaking. It seems this is a challenge running throughout February for a small group of friends who have invited anyone who wants to to join in too.
The first challenge this last week was to make a card using paint chips. After a trip to my local Bunnings hardware store I came home with a pile of samples, and a few ideas – they didn’t all pan out, but a couple of them worked out OK … I’m also going to enter them in a couple more challenges too:
- Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge – Fun with dies
- Shopping our Stash – Love is in the air
- Tc Tac Toe – Diagonal left to right (heart, free, die cut)
- Can you handle the pressure? – Hearts
- Cut it up challenge – Have a heart
- Cardz 4 Galz – Include one heart or more
The first card is the one I entered for the challenge. In hindsight I think I’ll add a fun ‘like Netflix’ or other non-traditional sentiment underneath.
The second card I completed is one for a craft group friend who recently lost her Mum, and I added the names inside of everyone that contributed to a floral tribute we gave her on Saturday at our group. It was my first time using the pansy dies, and I definitely see more of these in my future!
Supplies used:
Love you card:
- Heart Grid cover die by Mama Elephant
- Refracted embossing folder by Simon Says Stamp

Pansy sympathy card:

AWESOME! Both cards are just fabulous! I lean towards the color purple (a lot) so of course it really caught my eye … what a wonderful tribute card!
