Festive Friday #118 - World Space Week / Stamping With Melva

Festive Friday #118 - World Space Week

Friday, 16 September 2022

It's time for another Festive Friday Challenge! Every second Friday we post a challenge for you with a specific theme and an Inspo List of 10 items to choose from to create your project. We encourage you to create a project based on the theme and Inspo List and then post it using at least 3 items from the inspiration list.

This week’s challenge FF #118 World Space Day

Your goal is to simply use three or more items from the inspiration list on your project and link up! #festivefridaychallenge At Festive Friday, you do not need to actually celebrate the occasion. I hope you’ll make a card, scrapbook page or 3-D project and join us. You don’t need a blog to enter Festive Friday. Check out this link on how you can play along with this challenge. If you want help entering, please email me at stampinwithmelva@gmail.com and I’d be happy to help you!

I pulled out my Give It A Whirl Dies for this challenge along with the Stampin' Up! Scary Cute Stamp Set for this challenge and created my first Halloween card of the season. My card uses sparkle, stars, brads and interactive parts from the Inspo List.

Did you know that the Give It A Whirl Dies were the top stand alone dies for Stampin' Up! last year! Wow!

Check out this fun interactive card - I think anyone would love to get this card on Halloween! Turn the wheel and check out the fun images that appear in the window!

New Coordinating Die Sets

These coordinating dies will only be available during this promotion (until the end of September) while supplies last, and will not be offered in any catalogue.
