Recycle! - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

Did you clap from your front door for the remarkable job the NHS employees are doing last night?  We did together with the rest of our street and the community spirit in spite of all that's going on was so heart warming!  So the special thanks on my card is not only for the NHS workers but for all those front line workers who risk their lives to make ours easier.

The Daring Cardmakers would like to see you use recycling on your creations this week and I have used some kraft packaging from batteries.  I also recycled the back of a birthday card to create an oval frame.

I used the Trimcraft First Edition Bloom & Wonder pad for the background and fussy cut the main bloom as well as the leaves and a butterfly.  The grey oval frame I die cut out of a used birthday card.

The leaf dies were a lovely surprise gift from a friend so I had to use them!  I cut them out with glitter card to add a little bling.

I hope you have a good weekend, I am looking forward to the Easter holidays.

See you soon,

All Tied Up - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

It's been a a fabulous week so far with celebrating my little one's birthday, half term and the icing on the cake - a visit from my Dad!

The Daring Cardmakers are all 'Tied Up' this week as Kathy has set the challenge to use some form of thread, twine, wool etc on your cards.  I decided to go for Baker's Twine which is ever so useful and I enjoy making use of it.

I have used the First Edition Bloom & Wonder paper pad and the monochrome paper is my absolute favourite from the pad!  I've teamed it with a fussy cut butterfly and foliage from the same pad together with a sentiment, leaf sprigs and squares cut from the First Edition Digital Die Cuts USBs.

I think you can just make out the sparkle from the black Dovecraft A5 Premium Adhesive Glitter Card that I used to cut out the leaves and the sentiment.  It was a time saver for sure, especially for the sentiment as I didn't have to use glue!

You can find lots more inspiration for the challenge HERE.

Enjoy your weekend and see you again soon,

Happy Tuesday!

Lots of crafting going on my end and I'm ready to share the first of my Trimcraft Maker projects using the brand new First Edition pad - Bloom and Wonder.

With this project, aside from the card blank and adhesives, I have only used the paper pad which just goes to show you don't necessarily need a lot of additions.  I even made a co-ordinating envelope using one of the papers with my WRMK Envelope Punch!

The paper pad contains sheets of sentiments and I cut out the 'Celebrate' and 'Hooray' ones for my card.  The flowers I fussy cut from another sheet and I stuck them on on using silicone glue so as to give dimension.

The paper pad itself contains some pearlescent sheets and some with glitter which I've tried to show in the photo above.

Here's the pad and - mine is a 12" x 12" but it also comes in 8" x 8" and 6" x 6".

See you again later in the week,
