Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog!
why: The purpose of this posting is to share my next owner/DT inspiration projects for Christmas or not Bingo Challenges. #16 bingo board has wonderful variety from column to column. It was hard to select just 1 (since the rest of the team is always so ultra fabulous)!!! And the other DT members and Guest DTs focused on using I, N and O so I didn't want to leave out columns B or G and created one for each of those.
when: ConBC #16 starts November 1 and ends on December 15, 2025 (then we take a 2 week break between challenges and will return on January 1, 2026)
what: Project #1 = Column B (appreciation, yellow & gold, free, weave)
how-to & vendor notes for #1 using Column B=
1. Thanksgiving/Appreciation = "so very thankful" vellum from Farmstead Harvest by American Crafts
2. yellow & gold = two little yellow enamel hearts by Fancy Pants Designs; harvest gold tones in the flowers and dotted print paper by Simple Stories from an old card kit; also metallic gold decorative tapes (unsure on the vendor; it's been in my stash for several years)
3. free = the different products like enamels, vellum, die-cut ephemera, etc.
4. weave = strips of the gold metallic decorative tape were applied in a partial weave overlapping/some over and some under sections; (again, I'm unsure of the vendor since it's been removed from packaging and been in my washi tape collection in stash for years)
5. did not use textured paste! = I would like to try this. Haven't yet but would sometime.
a. brown marker pen for outlining around yellow cardstock = Zebra Clickart
b. yellow cardstock panel = Pen + Gear
c. kraft cardstock base panel = Colorbok

and
what: Project #2 = column G (New Year, metallics, free, sentiment focus)
how-to & vendor notes for #2 =
21. New Year = 2026 is included in the sentiment; also the sentiment choice is motivational which lends to creating goals/resolutions
22. metallics = embossed puffy pieces are stickers from 2 different sets = Crafter's Square
23. free = brown geometric print paper is 1/4 of 12" square sheet called Dots & Lines Six by Reminisce; I liked the vertical marks and browns to go with the vertical/soaring of the hot air balloons; light gray linen paper (stash); blue copy paper (Colorbok); deckle-edge scissors (Fiskars); black ink pad for edging (Hero Arts)
24. didn't use smooshing or dabbing!
25. sentiment as focus = I created a Google Doc; font size is at 45!; due to low printer ink toner, I went over the lettering with a black Sharpie

Both cards are so beautifully done and it's so great to see you at my Garden Party. Thanks for also joining us at the Four Seasons challenge for our last Fall themed challenge of the year!
ReplyDeleteThose little hot air balloons go perfect with your sentiment - and I can't believe we're talking about 2026 already either, yikes! Thanks for joining us at the Paper Funday Challenge.
