I didn’t finish, but at least I started 12 cards. This SS paper was out from making Christmas gift card pockets, so I decided to just play with it. I love making cards, and this challenge is great inspiration. Thanks for starting it!  |

Are your purple flowers a multi-step stamp? Super impressed if so! And I adore the trifold card. Not sure I could do 12, but I will definitely have to look it up for doing some singles! The flowers are multi-step stamps by Altenew I think. I did the 12 cards using my stamp platform while watching the Scrap Smarter Experience. The trifold card took me forever, but she loved it. |

I have so many die cut shapes like that, I need to get better at using them. |

Loving your new prompts each month, but keeping the thread all in one place. I have linked this in the Master List to the March challenges.

Those are great Christmas cards MARIBETHR  Do you make some every month? Tell us more about those geometric cards too! I had a closer look on flickr. They look really intriguing. Are they stamps? They color combos and sparkle are so beautiful. |

They color combos and sparkle are so beautiful. I do make a lot of cards. The Geometric cards were done last night with Stamplistic's every other Friday Night card class. Found her last April right after Covid shut down all the craft shows. She started doing this and has over 200 people in her online live classes, we have a blast. She had a 12 hour event on New Years Eve where we made 11 cards. She is having another event on July 2 for 12 hours called Mid Year Cheer. If you are on Facebook you should check the Stamplistic page out and you can view past classes to get an idea of how we put these together. |

Did you cut out each different shape/layer by hand? They look so precise and clean! |

I hated fussy cutting before I started these classes in April 2020 now I love to fussy cut. It is one of those things you get better at the more you do it. |

Thanks, Eddie-n-Harley for the new challenge. I will link it to the Challenge Master List. Just a quick confirmation: make 12 cards, any cards, this month for 20 points. For every 12 cards you make, that's an additional 20 points. They do not need to be coordinated or the same in any way. A dozen cards = 20 points. Now you can add to that by what you do to make those cards; earning points for woodgrain &/or diecut shapes &/or sexy hexies, or... If you meet the monthly theme (in June using one paper pad to create the set of cards), you will earn an additional TEN points for those 12 cards. Right? |

If you meet the monthly theme (in June using one paper pad to create the set of cards), you will earn an additional TEN points for those 12 cards. Right? One point per card; when you hit the magical dozen you earn 8 bonus, so 20 for the dozen. If you make 10 cards, that's 10 points. If you make 24 cards, you've earned 40 points (12+8+12+8). 10 more points if you incorporate the bonus prompt somehow (only earned once). I don't have a minimum requirement for how many cards out of your total creations need to use the prompt, although since this month's prompt is to use one line of paper, there should probably be at least two cards.  |

Wow!!! Beautiful cards MARIBETHR . Those mandalas are amazing, did you fussy cut them? Yes, every single layer, that is the specialty of Stamplistic. She has ever other Friday night classes with kits. She started in March 2020 when all the shows started closing down. The classes are a blast. And you do get better with fussy cutting when you practice, I did not believe it at first. |
