PTI 7th Anniversary--Day 3 Timed Challenge



I took a peek at my phone over breakfast this morning and saw that today's PTI Anniversary Challenge was a Timer Challenge.  7 minutes to grab 7 supplies and make a card within 17 minutes.  Fun, right?  I knew that my best bet would be to make some cards either inspired by cards I had previously made--casing myself would cut down on the design and fiddling time--or using some of my 'go to' designs.  I gave myself the morning to play--what could I get done after getting back from the dog park and before lunch???

My original card--the Inspiration for cards 1 & 2


Card 1
Supplies Gathered (1min 17 sec)
1. Stampers Select White Card Stock

Well, that's not bad for a morning's frantic crafting.  It is now lunch time, and my crafting time is done for now.   On with the business of lunch and school pick ups.  Oh, and the 'small matter' of the mess on my desk....I had fun with this challenge--more so than yesterday's.


Thanks for Visiting

  3. As I was reading along I did wonder about the state of your desk and how big of work area you had left after all that. I have to say that I am very impressed that you managed to whip out so many lovely cards so quickly. Definitely copying other cards helped, but even then you made them quickly and made them well. What a fun challenge!

  4. Wow - this challenge really worked for you! I'm off to give it a try, but my usual MO is to start with one idea and change direction halfway through.

  6. Wow, talk about impressed. All those cards in such a short time, brilliant. Loved them all and the fact that you looked at previous cards and then simplifed and still turned out some beauties. Wondered when I saw the 'birthday' die cuts I thought mmmmm this will take you over but then you stamped and it looked just as good. Thanks for sharing

  7. What a productive morning you had. These all look great.

  8. Wow! You made all of them with no more than seven items. That part of the challenge is a whole lot tougher than it seems. If I had to count the die machine and scissors, I'm in trouble. These are positively stunning, and you really show off that 'less is more'. Congrats (as PTI often says).

  10. Oh my goodness. You are just amazing and do many cards too!!! And in so little time. It took me longer to gather my supplies than it did for you to make a card. I am so impressed and love them all. I plan to make a few more tonight and I will be cad'ing you! Thank you for all the inspiration my friend.

  11. Wow, you did all those before lunch? I don't know how you do it Joyce. It's so good to be getting back into the swing of things craft wise. I've missed all the great cards and blogs. I had to stop by here first and say hey. Good to see you are still going, stronger than ever.

  13. I read Saturday's post first and that amazed me. Now I see you did even more cards on Friday. You're a whiz bang at these. You should never lack for a card to send.

  15. Great cards. You put me to shame. I only made one. Didn't realize you had to use only 7 supplies. I guess I skimmed over that part when reading. I was so overwhelmed about making a card in 17 minutes. I need to see how many actual suppies I did use on my card.

  16. Fabulous card. Going CAS is perfect for this challenge. You've inspired me to shift into gear and produce some more!
