DT Call

Our challenge is here.

Would you like to join our (if I can say this modestly!) fabulous team at Inkspirational?

We’re looking for crafters who are friendly and reliable and would be willing to:

-           Make a project on the theme, every two weeks and post it to the blog (can be card, layout or other project)
-          Comment on their assigned numbers
-          Comment on the Guest Designer’s blog, and visit and support the blogs of the other DT members
-          Vote for the Top Picks

If you’d be interested please email us at richardswood97@gmail.com with links to two cards/projects you’ve entered into Inkspirational Challenges  since the beginning of June 2018 ( ie starting from our ‘power’ theme). You could also tell us anything about yourself that you’d like us to know.

Closing date…Sept 16th

We hope to hear from you!

Thank you to all those who played along in designer's choice challenge of "make a card in 10 minutes or less!"  Thank you Sandie for a unique (and challenging) challenge!  These are our top picks:




This design makes such a pretty card! We love how she created a playful card set with the layered stamps and bold sentiment!

Challenge 167 - Popsicle Photo



Welcome back to Inkspirational . Our new challenge is to be inspired by this colourful picture  of ice lollies.

Please welcome our Guest Designer:

Chrissie



I was a primary school teacher for the whole of my career and only began card making after my retirement. In 2007 my daughter asked me to make her wedding stationery, so from never having made a card  I became totally hooked.
I have been on numerous card making design teams, including several years with Craft Stamper magazine and began my own CAS challenge blog “Less is More” in 2011 with my friend Mandi. I’m happy to report that the blog is still extremely successful in the hands of a terrific DT to whom I handed over the reins in 2016.
My life is kept very busy spending time with our grandchildren and going on lots of lovely holidays, particularly cruising.

Thank you to all those who played along in Birthday challenge! The entries were all amazing and fun to see!

These are our top picks:
We love her creative design and how she used the negative space!  It is all together a very handsome card!


The cute turtle and crab in the porthole make this a very charming card! We love how she achieved the water effect.
