So, here is the color palette for the new Craft Dash:
That's kraft, navy blue, and sky blue. So pretty!
Now, don't let that 10-minute time limit scare you! You are definitely allowed to gather up your supplies before you start creating. Here are a few tips that Paulina, co-creator of 10 Minute Craft Dash, suggests: "1) Pull out the cardstocks/embellishments/markers you have in the color palette featured so you're able to see what you have to work with. 2) Create a sketch beforehand so you know the direction you want for your project." Need more tips? Then you should definitely check out the 10 Minute Craft Dash Tips & Tricks page.
Well, you probably want to know how I fared on this challenge! I started by gathering up my tools and supplies, including some DeNami cardstock (sky blue and a scrap of kraft) as well as three different DeNami stamps (Three Line Border, Polka Dot Background, and Brushed Thank You)--all while forming a "sketch" of sorts in my head.
Now, I am a slow crafter. It can take forever to create a card and tweak it until I like it. I wasn't sure how this would go, but I gave it my best shot. Here's what I ended up with:
Time to completion: 8:46
I was pretty surprised by what I was able to accomplish in such a short time! Normally, I probably would have fussed a bit trying out different embellishments or maybe seeing if some twine or ribbon would add anything. But I found it to be rather freeing to say to myself, "Nope! This card is done," because there just wasn't any more time to add anything :D.
Want to give it a try? I think you should! There's a great prize involved {wink}.

Thanks so much for checking out today's little slice of bliss in my corner of the world!

Really cute 10 minute (Well, 8 minute, 46 second) card! :)
Making a card in under 10 min.? Now that's a HUGE challenge!! But, You pulled it off! Your CAS card is just that, and to the point! I think this is one challenge I may leave to the experts!! :)
FABULOUS Emily!!~
Oh, great card for the 10 Minute Crash Dash. That makes me nervous...let's see, I bet I could have gotten those stripes all crooked on that sentiment piece just from knowing I had to get it made so quickly. You did it perfectly. Congrats!
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving with
your family, Emily.
I think I would hyperventilate if I had to make a 10 minute card LOL! You did a great job with it. Loving the polka dots and touch of bling you added. Way to go :)
BEAUTIFUL card Emily! I love the added dimension. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, friend~
Your card is so beautiful, Emily! I love those fun embellishments and you used the colors perfectly!
Thank you for joining along and spreading the word about my challenge, sweet friend! <3
Oh this is such a sweet thank you card. I really like how you framed the sentiment!
Just so sweet! Not too shabby for under 9 minutes! :)
Happy Thanksgiving!
Kudos to you, Emily!! I don't think I've ever made a card in 10 minutes...that's definitely something to think about. I love your sweet card in those pretty blues!
Love this, Emily! Great job in only 8 minutes!
I love it! And I love the time challenge - removing the time to dither really streamlines things :)
That's amazing. A card in under 10 minutes. I can dream can't I...lol I think I could do it though if I tried!!! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. I count our friendship as one of my blessings.
Bear Hugs,
Carol
Emily, this is fabulous! I absolutely love what you created!! Just perfect!
You did an amazing job! I can't get under 8 minutes! I love this challenge because it challenges me and pushes me outside my comfort zone!
You Rock Emily!
I think it turned out super cute Emily! Love those sweet little flowers and the bling!
Looks awesome. I really can't believe you did it in that amount of time.
Hugs~
Love your card and what a great design to come up with for the challenge! I had to make a card the other day and I was literally on the way out the door. Mine wasn't nearly as elaborate as yours.
I love the stripes around the sentiment. They remind me of ticking fabric on the kraft paper.
Thanks for sharing and hope you are having a great weekend! :)
Adorable card! Great job!! ;o)
I can't believe you made that CUTE card in less than 9 minutes! LOVE the design, the dots, and the flowers, Emily!
Isn't it incredible to make a card in 10 minutes - I've actually not made it in under 10 yet. Time to give it another try I guess. Great result!
What a fun challenge. I need to get some of the images so I can play in this one - I love to be under a time deadline. I need to visit your blog more often! Hugz!
