Welcome, welcome, welcome to the seventh challenge here at
Let's Squash It!
Let's
Squash It! is The Embossing Folder Challenge. We are gonna help you
explore the world of the not so humble embossing folder and encourage
you to dig 'em out, knock the dust off and find old, new and fun ways to
make your projects pop.
We
have an awesome team to keep you entertained and awesome challenge
themes to stretch your creativity and get you using all those long
forgotten and neglected embossing folders.
For
those of you who are just tuning in you can check the previous posts
for the story behind the genesis of the challenge and the technique posts
for awesome tips and techniques to help you make the most of your supplies and folders.
Challenges
start on the 10th of the month and run to the last day at 23.59 GMT.
We will be picking top picks and a winner, who will have a chance to be our guest
designer for a future challenge. There is a little prize on offer for a
randomly selected winner, and these will all be announced on the 5th of
next month.
So, Challenge #7
And this month's theme is

"Hi
my name is Sally and I am so thrilled to be joining Gail and Jo as
the Guest Designer for the Let’s Squash It! April challenge. I
live near the beautiful Jurassic Coast in Dorset, England and I have
been a keen crafter and maker for as long as I can remember. I soon realised that my real passion is card making and I then started my blog Sally’s Cards back in 2009, finding it was the perfect way to
virtually meet like minded people. I have a huge collection of
embossing folders that were gathering dust and this challenge blog
has made me rediscover my love for using them."
