The card I made is a 5x5 square using the Hero Arts set Birthday. Totally cute and I love how big the sentiment is! It’s got loads of versatile images, so you have to check it out!

I stamped the cookies in chocolate chip ink from SU!, and the little flowers in vintage cream from PTI. I used my nestabilites to cut out the circle and scallop. The pink striped paper & ribbon are both from IHP. The ribbon is sooo pretty! It’s suede down the middle and has those scalloped edges – my fave!! Flowers are punched, and leaves are ribbon, too.

So do you want to play along!!??

Before you begin, PLEASE take a few minutes to review the challenge guidelines! You’ll want to follow these rules to maximize your points and qualify for the opportunity to WIN the prize for today’s challenge and the Grand Prize, all announced on the last day of our festivities!

To qualify for the prize of the day, all you have to do is upload your challenge card/project to Splitcoast Stampers (SCS) and/or Paper Craft Planet (PCP) with the appropriate tag so we can find it. Today’s challenge tag is IHPBB6. The daily challenge winners will be randomly selected at the end of the week.

To qualify for the Grand Prize of being IHP Guest Designer for the month of November, here’s how it will work: Every challenge card/project you enter will earn you points (see below), and one with the most accumulated for the week the Grand Prize winner. So the more challenges you enter, more points you earn — and the better your chances of winning the Grand Prize (and the bigger the value of your Guest Designer box will be)!

You will have until October 25^th to post your work, and you can enter as many challenges as you like, but you CANNOT combine challenges in one project. All winners, including the Grand Prize winner, will be announced at the Birthday Bash on October 26^th.
