Gorgeous card - really beautifully clean lines. I think you could just about get away with claiming that you hand wrote the "hello"
Colours for June
My, that time has come around quick again! It's the first Friday of the month, so that means it's a new colour challenge over on the Daring Cardmakers blog, and this week Kathy has chosen our inspirational palette: The tones are very mellow and French shabby chic... however I don't have a grea...
I think the pops of colour are perfect... as are the taut strings :)
April colour palette
Well, it's time for our monthly colour challenge over on the DCM blog this week, and our colour pick this time comes from Lythan: Well, it was a bit of a tricky one for me, as the photo is so overwhelmingly red and grey, but I wanted to go for something a bit different: Paper: Crate Paper Di...
this is so fresh and bright and lovely. Makes me feel ready to say hello (and hey and hi) to Spring!
March colours over at DCM
This month it's Zuz's turn to choose our colour palette over on the Daring Cardmakers blog, and what a lovely selection it is too, I have a real fondness for peach and aqua tones but these are much zingier: In fact I thought it the perfect excuse to drag out one of my favourite MME paper colle...
You do that two stage stamping so well Nat. This card is just so pleasing to the eye :)
Mellow warm tones: grey, yellow and orange
Well, it's the first dare of a new month over on the DCM blog this week, and the lovely Leo has chosen a gorgeous colour palette for us to work with: Nice eh? So, I had a few ideas running around in my head, but I definitely wanted to combine those orange and yellow tones.... and use some grey...
This is a real showstopper Nat - just amazing :)
Belts and Braces dare
Well Friday has rolled around at last and that means we have a new dare over on the Daring Cardmakers blog. :) It's over to Lythan for a very interesting challenge: "In the UK it is 31 years today since seat belts were made compulsory and to celebrate I thought it would be nice to belt up on a c...
LOVE the resin flowers on the die cut and all the fresh pretty colours on this card have me longing for spring (and a peppermint!)
Stripes galore!
This week over on the Daring Cardmakers blog, Zuz has challenged us to feature stripes on our cards. Now, I was pretty confident I had a lot of striped paper in my stash, but the question was which design(s) to go with! In the end I looked to my lovely remnants of MME lime twist papers - so wis...
this was such a great start to the DCM year Nat. I think that aida idea is inspired
First DCM dare of 2014!
Well the Daring Cardmakers are back in 2014! And it fell to me to choose the colour palette for our first dare of the year. I went with this lovely pic: {Original source} So here's the card I made - I promise you this did not turn out at all how I had in mind: Paper: Dear Lizzy Stamps: PTI, ...
that card is delicious! love all the Stickles action going on there!
A spooky birthday celebration!
This week's Birthday celebrations on the Daring Cardmakers blog are taking a rather frightful turn! With Halloween just around the corner this week's dare is a frightfully fiendish one! The Design Team was lucky enough to be provided with some great Halloween elements from Tando Creative. And lu...
Clever idea for the pennants :) Those cards are both perfectly rainbow and perfectly you - bright and beautiful and polished looking!
Birthday celebrations abound!
We have a very special month ahead of us over on the Daring Cardmakers blog - it's hard to believe but we're celebrating seven years of weekly cardmaking challenges. And although I've not been on the Design Team since day one, I've definitely been playing along with those weekly posts of insp...
that is such a cute and pretty card, perfect for a little girl :)
Rosettes galore!
This week over on the Daring Cardmakers blog it's my turn to host the last of our dares for September and to add a little pomp and ceremony, I challenged the design team and our lovely visitors to feature a rosette on their card this week. It could be a paper rosette, a proper old ribbon rosette...
I think you have summed up your style really well - both in words and in the card. You have such great skill in putting colours together. And in selling those WPlus9 stamps and dies :) thanks for playing along with my tricky dare!
Signature style?
This week's dare over on the DCM blog is a rather interesting one from Lythan. What is it exactly that makes your cards uniquely yours and immediately identifiable? Well, you tell me? ;o) Here's the card I made: Paper: Crate Paper Stamps: WPlus9, WMS Dies: WPlus9, MFT, Tilda Other: pearls, se...
oh you are really selling those stamps and dies. Every card you make with them is delicious! I love that deep purple embossed background
Farewell summer, you were most kind to us
This week on the DCM blog it's the perfect opportunity to embrace that summer into autumn transition with the lovely colour palette chosen by Beckie: Lovely eh? I think those shades are more of an Indian summer but I definitely went to town with those purple tones: Stamps: WPlus9, PTI Di...
You really ought to submit this card to a mag as it is absolutely amazing. And pemblwydd hapus i ti!
Beachy birthdays...
This week over on the DCM blog Kathy has challenged us to create cards featuring something you might find on the beach. Well, after my nautical card last weekend I decided to go with a lighthouse theme on this one in sandy beach shades. I give you the view from a lighthouse: Cardstock: Bazzil...
You've picked the perfect match for Svenja's colours on this adorable card :)
Citrus shades
This week over on the DCM blog it's Svenja setting her first dare - and as it's the first Friday of the month, it's time for a colour challenge! The shades are very zingy: lemon yellow, orange, lime green, and pink grapefruit. Here's the card I made - I dug about for just the right papers in my ...
this is a brilliant CAS card - that frill is the perfect finishing touch!
Hot colours for July
It being the first Friday of a new month we have a new colour combo on the Daring Cardmakers blog this week. Lythan has chosen this sizzling inspiration pic: If I had an Ikat stamps I am sure they would really lend themselves well to this combination, but I don't so I went with something comp...
I love the mix of pink flowers and black and white stripes - so chic!
Hidden and forgotten crafty treasures
This week over on the DCM blog Miri has set us a very handy challenge! To use any stash we've had sitting around yet never managed to use. I always like these sorts of challenges as they are the little push I often need to break into "new" products and put them to good use. :) For this week's ca...
oh yes I have some of those twinkling H2O's somewhere! That is such a pretty card Sharon
DCM – Forgotten Treasures
It’s Miri’s turn to set the dare this week at the Daring Cardmakers and she wants us to dig out our ‘forgotten treasures’. I’m ashamed to say I’ve got quite a lot of long forgotten things in my craft cupboards, so was spoilt for choice. However, I decided to go with my Twinkling H20 paints. At...
that colour combo is just adorable. Love the soft felt rose. It is the perfect size (mine tend to be too tight or too floppy) (insert own rude joke there)and the jewel in the middle is the perfect finishing touch
Make it yourself...
This week's challenge over on the DCM blog is one that will no doubt have many browsing through all those tutorial pins they repinned to try out some day! Well it's time to pick one and put it to good use;o) Kathy has challenged us to make our own embellishment to use on our cards this week and ...
that card is crammed full of cuteness. Adorable!
Inkiness
There's a lovely challenge over on the DCM blog this week - Keilly has challenged us to have a play with ink in whatever capacity we choose! Now, I wanted to use it in a few ways but what worked for my card was a more subtle approach. Paper: Crate Paper, Echo Park Chipboard elements: Crate Pa...
love that hint of gold around the edge. And I am very impressed by how neatly you lined up the alpha dies. I adore these colours together
It's a Pink, Mint and Gold kind of month
So it's the first Friday of the month, and that means it's a new colour combo challenge on the DCM blog. This month it was my turn to pick, and I went with a lovely palette that I'm seeing a lot on Pinterest at the moment - gorgeous spring/summer shades: Gorgeous eh? The challenge that faced ...
that rainbow is simply fabulous. What a darling card! (Deserves to be submitted to a magazine in my opinion)
A very apt dare for today
Over on the DCM blog the lovely Miri has challenged us to get creative with the theme of April showers - so rain, umbrellas, rainbows, etc. I had hoped the weather this weekend wouldn't be too bad considering the dog walking I'd planned, but already after the first walk of the day Lola is lookin...
The will they/won't they customs charge adds an extra thrill (when they don't) I reckon. Love those new stamps and dies. That card is just as pretty as a picture!
Aqua and coral - it's all the rage
And it's also this month's colour challenge over on the Daring Cardmakers blog! :) After a little pondering and stash raiding I determined it was actually the perfect opportunity to play with some of my new stamps that arrived from Papertrey on Tuesday. Again no customs charge - hurrah! So he...
this card is so scrumptious. Love your little springs and the stamping and those oh so cute nests!
Good morning, Good Friday
Well if you are in the "Spring" mood, there's a wonderful dare over on the DCM blog this week. :) Beckie has challenged us to make a card featuring "springs" in some way. I decided to cover my bases with this one and include a Spring theme as well as some DIY springs. I wonder if you can spot th...
that is one of the best chalkboard cards I have seen Nat. Thanks for a great dare (even if the thought of using cotton wool on paper makes me shudder. But that is my problem!)
Chalkboard heaven
This week over on the Daring Cardmakers blog it's my turn to challenge my fellow teamies and our blog visitors. And well, there was one thing that immediately sprang to mind that I thought we'd all enjoy - recreating chalk art on a card. Now, thanks to the fab tutorial by Betsy Veldman it's much ...
there is so much to love about this card. I think the resin flower and bow are my fave features
Look at it from another angle...
This week over on the Daring Cardmakers Blog Lythan has been challenging our geometry skills. It's all about angles! And as soon as I heard what the dare was going to be I decided it was high to to get using my hexagon stash again before that trend passes me by! I also needed to get down to busi...
