  Hello everyone!  Welcome to the November 2026 A Perfect Time to Craft Card Challenge .   This is an "anything goes" card challenge that begins on the 1st of each month with two sponsors each month.  The Design Team shares what they have made and then, if you want a chance to win one of the Sponsors' prizes, you can make a card and upload it to the card challenge blog.        For November, the Sponsors are Anne Constantly-Carding and Fred She Said Digital Designs .  This month, I made  a shaker card using the Emma The Mermaid Pre-Coloured Set , but if you love to color, you can also get the Emma The Mermaid & Friends Digital Stamp Set  - which is not pre-coloured.  No matter which you pick, both sets offer the background and all the images you need to make the cutest "under the sea" or "fishtank/fish" card.      So, let's make the card(s).  Please remember that the dies and foam tape tha...

Hello everyone, and welcome to the October 2026 Edition of the Crafty Elves Countdown to Christmas with Deb and Lisa .  If you are new here, o n the 25th of each month, we (the Crafty Elves) post one or more holiday cards, hoping to inspire you to make your own.  I've been a really bad Jew this year and have neglected to make many Hanukkah cards.  I think it's because most of the Hanukkah papers I see all begin to look the same.  But with AI being adopted by so many Etsy sellers, I have started seeing some beautiful papers sold that are perfect to use for cards or albums.     One collection I recently found and fell in love with is THIS collection of 111 Watercolor Hanukkah/Chanukah Digital Papers from Old Market on Etsy - and this is what I used for the 4 cards I made for today's post.     Cards 1 and 2 To make these cards: I made two top-folding A2 cards - one in navy blue, the other silver. I printed the two images I wanted to use ...

  Hello, y'all.  Welcome to October, aka Breast Cancer Awareness Month, or in the USA, National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  Every October, major breast cancer charities around the world organize this campaign to increase awareness of the disease and raise funds for research.  My friends Deb ( Meticulosity ) and Celeste ( Crafting Junky ) asked me to join them this month for their monthly card collab, "Coffee with Deb and Celeste", where this month's theme is Breast Cancer Awareness.  Of course, I said YES! Did you know that a woman in the U.S. has about a 13% chance of developing invasive breast cancer during her lifetime?  That's about 1 in 8 women.  The overall 5-year survival rate is 91.9%, rising to 99% if the cancer is caught early.   Since there is HOPE, I made a mini slimline HOPE card.   I made a card base, 3" x 7", using white cardstock. I cut a piece of pink cardstock, 3" x 7", a piece of white cardstock, 2.75" x 6.75"...
