Coffee Loving Papercrafters

Hello Coffee Lovers!!

We started 75 Creative Card Challenges on August 2, 2018 !! Wow, I didn’t realize it was that long ago! But it’s been fun to feature most of the challenges in the magazine and it’s been a great way to use up some of our crafty stash! Not to fear I have another magazine with some more great card-making ideas, but I’ll get into that in the next post!!

This is my second recap post, you can find my first recap post here to the first magazine we went through, Paper Crafting Tips & Tricks. Below I listed and linked all the posts for each of the 75 Creative Card Challenges cards. Here and there I’ve included my favorite cards I’ve made along the way!

I figured you could bookmark this post for easy access to some great card-making techniques and you can also check out the original recap for even more ideas!!!

I didn’t cover every challenge in the magazine. Sometimes I didn’t have the supplies required for the challenge, so if there is no hyperlink for a challenge, that’s why!
