Challenge #01

Challenge #01
Good Morning and welcome to 
Not Just Cards Challenge Blog


The theme will always be Anything Goes

We are a new group focusing on using digital stamps for Not Just Cards so please follow us and show us your love and support.

The group was born out of a love for making other things using stamps and it felt like you were either a card-maker or a non-card maker the two worlds didn't seem to combine
So this group was set up for everyone!
We do hope to maybe get card makers trying out non card things and non card makers trying out cards!

We don't have many rules, as this was always a concern, you were allowed to do somethings on some groups and not allowed on others, 
so we took the rules out and put the FUN back into challenges

We welcome anything handmade – cards are more than welcome
You don’t need to use a stamp (digital or real)
Your project can be real or digital
We just want to see your creations
and hope you join in with something other than cards
 but you don't have to.
We would like you to follow us
The only rule we have is that there is no back-linking
your work should be newly published , thanks

We don’t mind how many times you enter, 
why shouldn't you show off your projects if you make a few a day/week?

and we don’t mind how many other challenges you enter, 
and again, why shouldn't you show off your projects?

I just want to keep it as simple as possible so as many people as possible can join in the fun.

We will have a top 5 chosen by the Design Team
A winner of at least one of our prizes will also be hand chosen
and we will have a random picked winner


Winners will be announced with the next challenge in 2 weeks time

I would like to thank our wonderful sponsors this week


Hello stamping friends! Thank you for welcoming me into your home and hearts. My desire is to inspire hope and joy, with celebrations of love and inspiration at the heart of each drawing for you. I am delighted to sponsor your challenge and I look forward to hearing from you.







I am a Professional watercolour artist and designer. I started painting in watercolours about 20 years ago and then decided to sell them via my website www.pamwest.co.uk and via ebay My art and card designs are in collections worldwide. I specialize in a range of subjects including whimsical animals, dogs, cats, flowers, country cottages and gardens inviting the viewer into a magical world. They are a mix of collectable scenes that has attracted fans worldwide and invoke memories of times gone by. I've worked on Cds with Joanna Sheen that were sold on Create and Craft TV and I've also worked for other craft companies. I love making card designs on the computer and sell them on digital download sites as well Now I concentrate on my art and selling the images as designer resources in my etsy shop https://www.etsy.com/uk/people/wilmasart?ref=si_pr I'm working on a range of digistamps to sell in my etsy shop along with the ones that are already there.

Mitzi is a Colorado-based fantasy artist.  Originally from Japan, her art is influenced by the vintage shojo manga she grew up with, as well as the classic art forms such as tattoo art and woodblock prints of her native country.  Her fantasy art subjects range from cute and whimsical to dark and macabre, and everything in between.  Majority of her Aurora Wings digital stamps are made from the line art of her fantasy illustrations, giving them a uniquely distinct look of flowing lines with high level of detail.  Most are ink & pen traditional drawings, which are either colored free-hand in Corel Painter or traditionally with watercolor.  Her Etsy shop, Aurora Wings, offers digital stamps, prints, ACEOs, coloring books, and originals.
