(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!

Building Block Graduation Card

Hello, everyone! Melissa here on to share a "building block" style card with you. I made this one graduation themed, since there are a ton of graduations going on right now. Hope you enjoy this card, and are inspired to try it out yourself. Here is the tutorial I followed from Split Coast Stampers. To make it easier, I will give you all the measurements, here. It looks harder than it is, I promise. Start with a piece of cardstock in your desired color that is 5.5 x 10.5. Put the 10.5 inch side along the top of your score board or paper trimmer, and score at 3.5 inches and 7 inches. Fold the first score line in a mountain fold, and the second in a valley fold. You should end up with a "z" fold card. The next part can get a bit tricky, so make sure you watch the video to fully understand what I am about to explain. On the back side of the "valley" fold, take a ruler and pencil and mark these measurements: 3/8 1 3/8 1 5/8 2 5/8 2 7/8 3 7/8 ...
