March Challenge Reminder - One Layer

Hello, and welcome back to the Christmas Craft Creations challenge for March!

This month our theme is One Layer - please make sure the theme is very clear in your project. One layer (or some call it "no layer") means that everything should be directly on the card base, with no additional layers on top of that. If you're not sure, you can't go wrong by avoiding taping or glueing anything on! We're looking for completely flat cards this time!

If you missed our launch of the challenge you can find inspiration from our incredible launch team here. And of course, there's even more stunning inspiration to share with you today from our talented reminder team.

This month's prize is a mystery destash prize pack donated by me, Charlotte/Lady Joyful! You can find more details on it in the launch post. The prize winner will be picked randomly from among those entrants who have followed all the rules. Rules are in the sidebar if you need a refresher.

And here is the inspiration from the reminder team:

And joining from the Launch Team:

Leanne

We hope that inspires you to join in with our challenge!

Did you miss our winner's post for last month's challenge? It went live last week and you can find it here.

We look forward to seeing your lovely Christmas projects! The deadline for entering is Tuesday 11th April at 6pm GMT.

Reminder: You can find our rules in the sidebar. Please remember to include a link back to our blog along with our challenge graphic. If you're entering from Instagram, you can use the hashtag #ChristmasCraftCreations

Love,

March Challenge - One Layer

Hello, and welcome to the Christmas Craft Creations challenge for March!

This month's prize is a mystery destash prize pack donated by me, Charlotte/Lady Joyful!

When I was preparing for my international move I tried to pare down my supplies, with the plan to get rid of a lot, but ran out of time. So I have a number of mystery envelopes to give away. I'll be giving one away this month, and you may see others later in the year too! The envelopes are all packaged up already so I don't know what's in which, and will pick one at random, but they all contain stamps, papers, and may also have things like ink, ribbon, stamps, dies, etc. You can see in this video the contents of the various packs:

And here's the inspiration from the team:

Plus, joining in from the reminder team:

Tammy F

We hope that inspires you to join in with our challenge! Be sure to come back in two weeks to see the inspiration from the reminder team.

If you entered last month's challenge, check back next week to see if you were a prize winner, DT favourite or honourable mention!

We look forward to seeing your gorgeous Christmas projects! The deadline for entering is Tuesday April 11th at 6pm GMT.

Reminder: You can find our rules in the sidebar. Please remember to include a link back to our blog along with our challenge graphic. If you're entering from Instagram, you can use the hashtag #ChristmasCraftCreations

2. You must follow the provided theme, with the theme being immediately obvious, and create a Christmas project.

3. You must link back to the Christmas Craft Creations challenge post in your blog post, and include the challenge graphic. Entries from Instagram should use the tag #ChristmasCraftCreations

4. You may enter a maximum of 3 projects per challenge. There is no limit on how many challenges you can enter alongside ours.

Any entries found to not be following the rules may be deleted from the link-up without warning.

A new challenge starts on the second Wednesday of each month at 8am GMT, with a reminder post (and more inspiration!) at the same time on the fourth Wednesday.
