Stretch Your Supplies for the February Challenge

It’s hard to believe it’s already time to announce the winner of the January Heffy Doodlers Challenge! Amanda Stevens here again, and there were some really fantastic entries last month! Make sure you’ve joined the Heffy Doodlers group on Facebook. Share your projects and meet new crafty friends. Plus, I try to share Lesley’s weekly videos there too as soon as she goes live.

Without further ado…

January’s winner is Anneleise Hampson, with her fun underwater card! Building the scene on a tag makes a great focal point. Please help me congratulate Anneleise here, and in the Facebook group.  To choose the winner, all entries (except those by Lesley and the current design team) were assigned a number, in order of posting. We used random.org to choose the winning number.

For the February challenge, I asked the Heffy Doodlers to vote for a theme, and the overwhelming choice was Stretching Your Supplies! Get creative and show us how you use your supplies in unexpected ways while making a card with Heffy Doodle products (mostly). Then, enter it for your chance to win a £35 gift card! (Woohoo!) The challenge starts now in the Heffy Doodlers Facebook Group, and runs through March 1st, 2020. To help get your creative juices flowing, I made this sweet little valentine…

A great way to stretch your supplies is to die cut a shape, then turn it into something else. For my card, I cut a pair of hearts, then cut away a bunch of circles from the top layer to turn it into a piece of cheese. I tucked a few die cut sweet little mice from Hello Squeakheart between the layers and added a sentiment down below. The pink hearts scattered around the card were cut from the coordinating dies for a different stamp set. Check your stash to see what goodies are hiding inside! You can head on over to my blog for more details on this card.

Go through your supplies and look at them in a different light. If you turn them sideways, or use them with non-traditional colors, will they look like something else? Challenge yourself to pull out your Heffy Doodle stamps, stencils, or dies and get started! To enter, go to the Heffy Doodlers Facebook Group and post a picture of your project in the February 2020 Challenge album (it will be pinned to the top). Enter as many cards as you like. The winner will be randomly chosen from all entries posted prior to Midnight (UT) on March 1, 2020. You are not limited to cards, feel free to post tags, scrapbook pages, home decor projects, etc. Just be sure the bulk of the stamps and dies used are from Heffy Doodle. Good luck my friend!

Questions, just ask. Need some more inspiration to get you started? Follow Heffy Doodle on Pinterest! You can find boards with themes and specific stamp sets. Got an idea, but need some new Heffy Doodle goodies? Head on over to the shop and check out the new release! Remember, you enter the challenge in the Facebook group, not here. And as always, let’s keep it PG please 😉

I’ll be back on March 3rd to announce the winner and the next challenge. Until then, I’ll see you on Facebook…
