#tgifc542 Sketch Challenge

 Welcome back to TGIF Challenges, friends! This week we’ve got a fun Sketch Challenge to spark your creativity. Our sketch features three squares turned on the diagonal—giving off a playful, argyle-inspired vibe—with one layered front and center, just waiting to be the star of your design. You could fill the squares with Designer Series Paper for a pop of pattern, stamp a bold image to make it shine, or even swap the squares for die-cuts or punched shapes for a creative twist. Try adding a little texture with an embossing folder, or keep it clean and simple and let the sentiment area take center stage with a big, beautiful greeting. However you choose to play with it, we can’t wait to see your projects—be sure to share your creations with us, we love seeing your ideas come to life!

So many fun and creative color challenge projects last week! Thank you all so much for sharing!

It was so hard to vote on a winner!

Big congrats to -

#tgifc541 Color Challenge

Welcome back to TGIF Challenges, friends! We’re so excited to bring you a fresh dose of creative inspiration this week with one of our favorite kinds of challenges—a Color Combo! This time, we’re playing with the vibrant trio of Strawberry Slush, Timid Tiger, and Secret Sea. Think of the cheerful pop of pink, the playful glow of orange, and the deep, dramatic blue setting the stage for endless possibilities in your paper crafting. Whether you blend them softly, use them as pops of color, or let them shine boldly as main colors, we can’t wait to see how these colors spark your creativity. Grab your supplies, make some magic, and don’t forget to share your beautiful projects with us—we love seeing what you create!

You all continue to wow us with your creativity, and last week was no different! We loved seeing your great arch themed projects. Thank you for sharing with us!

Congrates to our Winner!!!!

#tgifc540 Style Challenge

 Hi friends! 👋 Welcome back to another week of fun here at TGIF Challenges! This time we’re putting a trendy twist on your creativity — we’re talking arches! 🌈✨ They’re popping up everywhere right now — in home décor, graphic design, and yes… papercrafting! Whether you go bold and modern or soft and subtle, arches are the perfect way to add instant style and movement to your projects.

Think of them as the ultimate frame, doorway, or window into your design — ready to highlight a sentiment, showcase a scene, or layer up for extra depth.

We can’t wait to see how you make this stylish shape your own! And don’t forget — when you share your creation on social media, tag #TGIFChallenges so we can cheer you on and show off your arch-mazing creations! 💛 

Thank you all so much for all of the fun projects that you added last week. Congratulations to our Challenge 539 winner - 

Our Design Team is loving arches - take a look!!!

#tgifc539 Inspiration Challenge

 Hi friends! 👋 We’re so glad you’re back for another creative adventure with us here at TGIF Challenges! This week, we’re serving up some dreamy inspiration that’s sure to get your creative wheels turning. Picture this: soft watercolor pines fading into a gentle mist, all set against a serene sky brushed with shades of pink and lavender. 🌲🎨 It’s peaceful, it’s magical… and it’s totally open to your interpretation!

Whether you pull from the tranquil colors, the watercolor vibe, the forest scene, or just the feeling it gives you, we can’t wait to see what you create. So grab your supplies, channel that calm, misty magic, and show us your inspired masterpiece! And when you share your work on social media, don’t forget to tag #TGIFChallenges so we can ooh and ahh right along with you! 💛

The projects you submitted for last week's challenge featuring the Country Woods Designer Series Papers were wonderful! Thank you all!

#tgifc538 Product Challenge

 Hey there, friends of TGIF Challenges! 💛 We’re so happy you’re here with us for another week of crafty fun. This time, we’re shining the spotlight on a gorgeous Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper – Country Woods. If you haven’t met this beauty yet, you’re in for a treat! With its rustic charm and sophisticated style, it’s the kind of paper that works as effortlessly for an elegant wedding card as it does for a cozy, shabby-chic scrapbook layout. The variety of woodgrain patterns makes it a go-to for all occasions – just add your creative touch and let the magic happen! We can’t wait to see how you bring Country Woods to life in your projects this week. (If you don't have this paper, don't let it stop you from playing along - just let it be your inspiration!)

 And don’t forget – when you share your creation on social media, be sure to tag #TGIFChallenges so we can see (and swoon over) your beautiful work! 💛

#tgifc535 Theme Challenge

Welcome back, crafty friends! 

We’re so happy you’ve joined us at TGIF Challenges—your creative playground for all things papercrafting. This week’s challenge is all about heart and heroism with the inspiring theme: “You’re My Hero.” Whether it’s a real-life role model, a fictional favorite, or someone who simply makes your day brighter, we invite you to let your imagination soar as you honor your hero through cardmaking, scrapbooking, or any other paper project. You might even find inspiration in your kid’s love of a particular superhero, or from a fun dress-up session that’s just begging to become a scrapbook page! Don’t forget to share the fun and invite your crafty friends to play along—we can’t wait to see how you bring this theme to life! 

YOU are truly heroes too, showing up week after week with all your awesome projects!

Congrats to our winner from last week -

 Hello again, fabulous crafters! 🤍

We’re so excited to welcome you back to another inspiring week at TGIF Challenges! Your creativity continues to amaze us week after week, and we’re thrilled to have you joining in on the fun once again.

This week’s challenge is all about a small but mighty tool in your craft stash—the white gel pen! Whether you use it to add delicate highlights, sketch in some detail, doodle over dark cardstock, or bring your stamped images to life with a pop of brightness, we want to see how you make this little pen shine! There are so many creative possibilities, and we can’t wait to see how you’re inspired.

Thanks for crafting along with us and making TGIF Challenges such a joyful, creative community. Now let that white ink work its magic! 🖊️✨

Happy creating!

The TGIF Team 🌼

Speaking of magic - last week's entries for the sketch challenge - WOW!
