Let's Go Wild - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy February!

You'll be pleased to hear we are all better now. Well, all except my little one who sadly has Covid.  It appears more than half his class have it.  Thankfully his symptoms have been mild and he's been doing school work online as well as learning to knit.

It's the first Friday in February so time for an elemental challenge over on the Daring Cardmakers.

I am drawn towards bright and colourful creations at the moment and really enjoyed putting this one together.  I used the Dovecraft Finding Paradise Paper Pad and the elements that come with it to make my card.  The card has already made it's way to it's recipient!

Below is the moodboard from which you choose any 3 elements or more - colours count as 1.  I used the colours, circles and leaves.

You can see lots more inspiration from the rest of the Design Team HERE.

Have a lovely weekend and see you next week,

A Walk On The Wildside - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

It's been a lovely week on the weather front and I've got heaps of washing done and dried outside in no time!  Just the ironing left now........

Another great challenge on the Daring Cardmakers this week with a walk on the wildside.  I had just the perfect stamp set in mind and I teamed it with papers that fit the challenge too!

My stamped images were coloured with my Chameleon pens and then die cut.  I made the central frame using a new nesting die set and went for a shaker card as I've not made one in a long time.

Initially I wasn't sure on mixing the patterned papers from the Dovecraft Finding Paradise Pad but the idea grew on me as I experimented with different combinations and I think it works.  What's more I will do it again!

You can see lots more inspiration from the Design Team HERE and I hope you'll join in.

Have a wonderful weekend - my plan is to get some gardening done!

Flamingo! - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

It's been a wonderful week with blue skies and glorious sunshine.  We now have rain but the garden certainly needs it!  Just as well as the boys have been on half term and have enjoyed playing in the garden with their water guns.  One has been revising for his forthcoming exams as well.

The Daring Cardmakers have a wonderful summer themed elemental challenge this week and I got out my Dovecraft Finding Paradise Paper Pad again.  The co-ordinating elements make life so much easier!

I have a thing for circles.  You may have noticed.  I love using them and this card is no exception!  I thought it would be fun to have the flamingo say 'Yay' as it's on the washi tape and goes well with the celebratory theme of the card.

Here is some further information on the challenge together with the image from which I have chosen the colours, the flamingo and wording.  You can see lots more inspiration from the rest of the DT HERE.

I'm going to make the most of the remaining half term holiday before the finale of the summer terms begins!

Have a wonderful weekend,

Tropical Paradise - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

I took a week off last week as we were celebrating the festival of Eid which comes after the Islamic month of fasting.  I think I have got into the habit of blogging so miss it when I am away!

The Daring Cardmakers have gone all tropical this week which is a good thing as the weather our end is nothing but dull and rainy with some hail and sleet thrown in for good measure!

I used the brand new Dovecraft Finding Paradise paper pad and embellishments for my card which work so well together and I think are ideal for this challenge.  

I also have a confession to make as I bought a new tool -  the We R Memory Keepers Word Punchboard as it is on offer at Create & Craft for a fabulous price so treated myself!  It's a great tool and so easy to use so look out for more projects with it soon.

You can see lots more tropical themes cards from my fellow DT HERE and I hope you'll join in!

Enjoy your weekend - my little one has his first birthday party to go to following COVID, a small one with just a few classmates.

See you next week,
