Crafts Galore Encore August 2026

Welcome to the August challenge for

Thank you to everyone who joined in with last month's challenge. The winners have been announced on the challenge blog. This is a month long challenge and you can enter up to three times. There is a full list of rules on the challenge blog.

As we have no sponsor for August, this challenge is
"Just for Fun"
The design team will still be voting on our favourites, so don't forget to enter!

Our theme every month is the popular
"Anything Goes"

The design team were allowed to make our own "Anything Goes" projects for this challenge and I chose to make this birthday card.

Our little princess is now turning a teenager! Although, I think she's been one for at least the last three years already! 

A teenager deserves a more grown up card, so I chose this image, one with a fashion conscious young lady - wearing a crown, obviously.


The card is 6"x 8" (15 x 20 cms) and I folded the top corner over. I used some old papers from my stash mounted onto blue card and added a button to the folded corner. The inside also has a panel of the patterned paper.


The stamp is an old Julie Nutting one. I have used my Copics to colour it. I stamped the image three times so I could cut out the dress layers and mount them up with foam pads for a dimensional look.


I die cut the sentiment and finished the card with some blue gems.

Now please visit the  Crafts Galore Encore challenge blog where you can see the wonderful "Anything Goes" projects created by our talented team.
