(Jan.) Cascade Card Tutorial Challenge

Hi everyone, Happy 2015!!!
Our December Linky Party Winners will be announced and contacted Jan 11. 
We had 80+ wonderful entries!

This year we are doing things a little differently with our challenges, going back to our tutorial roots that SBC was created on.  So here they are:
  • Challenges are now monthly, starting the first Sunday of the month and ending the last day of the month.
  • All challenges will have a sponsor and will have 1 random winner.
  • All entries will be inspired by the tutorial video given on the challenge post. IE: if the video is an easel card, then all entries must be an easel card of some kind.
  • You may enter as many times as you would like. The more you play, the more chances to win.
  • No link backs, all entries are to be new starting that month.
We hope to inspire new techniques and of course a lot of crafty fun. Along with our new challenges, we'd love for you to grab our badge and place on your blogs. We would like to grow our blog audience, but we are just a small fish in a huge ocean. We need your help to get the word out about SBC.

Thank you and Good Luck!

  1. Great idea and this will push me to try some new styles! I like your new challenges! And I am glad we have the whole month to figure out how to do the tutorial - I am one who finds it tough to try new things. Your DT samples look amazing!

Fiskars AdvantEdge Punch System Review

Good morning friends, Carolyn here with a review of a new tool I just recently purchased.  Received a newsletter from Scrapbook.com recently and checked it out.  But I did not purchase from Scrapbook.com as it's out of stock, so went to another source, and it arrived this past Saturday afternoon. TIP:  Easy way to create borders for your scrapbook page layouts, or embellishing the page or creating edges for your cards.  Gives you ease of creating a border across the edge(s) of paper; and create a border strip and cut down to size you would like for embellishing a sentiment mat for a card or front of card. Supplies used: Fiskars AdvantEdge Punch System Fiskars' smaller interchangeable border punch cartridges - double scalloped edge   Fiskars AdvantEdge Punch System Here is a short write up about the system: The unique design of the AdvantEdge Punch System by Fiskars allows crafters to add perfectly aligned decorative borders and ribbons to any pr
