Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper May challenge


Welcome to
Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge

There are loads of challenge blogs around, but, as far as I know, there is a gap that needs to be filled:


A challenge that is always about using
Patterned Papers on cards

which is why I started

Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge

I don't know about you, but I have enough patterned papers
to keep me going for a very long time

so let's make sure we use plenty of them

The monthly challenge will always be 'anything goes' as long as you cover your card blank or other creation with patterned paper or card, using any size or shape that you wish - there are no other rules! You can add embellishments if you wish, stamp, emboss etc - but you must cover your card blank with patterned paper or card. The creation can be for any occasion.

You can leave a small border around your paper when you adhere it to the card blank if you wish, but only a small border! And your creation doesn't have to be a card, it can be any project as long as it is covered with patterned paper.

You will be able to enter as many times as you wish during the month and link with as many other challenges as allow you to do so.

You can scroll down to see the winner for the April challenge or click on the link here. It's worth checking because it might be you!

As I have an abundance of patterned paper - 12 x 12, 8 x 8, 6 x 6, A4 - I'm giving a prize each month to the randomly chosen winner. I'm willing to post anywhere in the world, so that means that anyone can enter regardless of where you live.

Please click here to see the winner of Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper April challenge.
It's worth checking because it might be you!

I hope you will join in again for the May challenge and that the news will spread even further so that others come and join us too.
May challenge

This is the prize for May, which will be given to the randomly chosen winner - this time it is an 8" x 8" paper pack of 40 sheets of Papermania 'Boutique'on the back of which there is a project sheet by Jesse Edwards, the creator of the papers.


If your cards happen to fit the theme for the week on my CHNC challenge blog, please feel free to add there as well and also for my CHNC challenge extra blog, which is always 'anything goes as long as it's Christmas.

Remember that for this Patterned Paper challenge cards
can be for any occasion

This is my first card for the challenge, using some much neglected Far East stack papers (I thought it would be nice to photo the card on top of the 8" x 8" paper stack) - you can read more about this here on My Crafty Outlook:


Please become a follower of this blog and also advertise it on your own blog so that others see it and join in - you may use the logo from the sidebar. Thank you to all of you who have already become followers and have spread the news of this blog - please keep doing so.

May's challenge will end at 20:00 UK time 31 May. The randomly chosen winner will be announced at 23:00 UK time on 31 May and a new challenge will start at midnight on 1 June.
