My Sweet Valentine - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

So I am pleased to report after 2 consecutive negative tests my little one went back to school on Tuesday only to find out that it's half term next week! 

With Valentine's Day coming up the Daring Cardmakers want to see your cards for the occasion.  I must admit I am not one to wait for Valentine's Day to tell someone I love them!  I loved creating this card though as it's a mix of paper and stamps - my favourite combination!

I started out with the Tonic Studios Loveable Library collection and used the typewriter die and a few stamps.

I then used the papers from the First Edition Making Memories pad to add a little more interest.

You can see the rest of the DT's creations HERE and I hope you'll join in!

Have a lovely weekend.

Up, Up & Away - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

How was your week?  My husband had his booster so I can tick that off my list.  Thankfully no side effects either so I didn't have to play nurse!

The Daring Cardmakers theme this week is Up, Up & Away and you can use balloons or hot air balloons.  I decided on a single balloon and got out a preloved die set I bought last year which I hadn't used.  I'm on a mission to try and use more of the supplies I have this year.

As well as the balloon, I die cut a square frame and used my paper pad to add some interest to the background.  I stamped the bear and coloured him in with my Tonic Nuvo alcohol markers.  I still need to make a proper chart for the marker colours but haven't had time yet.

I love the Heffy Doodle sentiment strips and this one I stamped out in red and black and stuck onto some paper to finish.  I used the co-ordinating die set to cut it out.

You can see lots more inspiration from the rest of the Team HERE and I hope you join in!

Have a lovely weekend!

Kiss Kiss - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

I'm pleased to report it's been a good week on a well deserved half term.  We've managed to recharge batteries and celebrate my youngest son's lockdown birthday too.

Did you know it's Kissing Friday today? No? Me either until I learnt about it and the latest Daring Cardmakers Challenge is all about kisses.......

It's funny as I helped a friend out using her new envelope punch and thought I'd use it for my card.  I made a tiny envelope and a cute liner to go in it as well.  I then added cut outs from a paper pad and stuck them on to a card blank that I had embossed.

I think the card ticks a lot of boxes as I have made a KISS card (keep it simple stupid), used the word KISS and and 'X' as well.

You can see more inspiration on the challenge and join in HERE.

Have a great weekend!

Share The Love - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

Almost Valentine's Day and I promised I'd share another love themed card today so here it is!  This one is for the Daring Cardmakers latest challenge - Share The Love.

I've stamped and die cut the images, colouring with my Chameleon pens as always.  I've then die cut the card base and all the matt and layers with various hexagonal dies using a mix of cardstock and a paper pad.

You can see lots more inspiration from the rest of the DT HERE and I hope you'll join in!

I'm very much looking forward to the weekend as it's the beginning of our half term break so a week off home school! 

Enjoy your weekend,

Whatever The Weather - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

How has your week been?  Mine has been productive and very creative.  I think it's the addition of having the sun streaming through the window.  Sunshine always makes me happy.

Speaking of the weather, today's Daring Cardmakers challenge is based on this theme!  

I had an image in mind and a sentiment then found the perfect papers to go with them!  I love it when a plan comes together!!!  

Even though the weather on my card is rain the pig looks so happy with his brolly jumping in the puddles.  I like the sentiment too.  Both image and stamp were taken from different stamp sets.

The image was coloured using my Chameleon pens and I stamped the raindrop and sentiment using Catherine Pooler inks as I love the vibrant colours.

You can see lots more inspiration on the challenge HERE and I hope you'll join in.

Have a lovely weekend and see you again next week,

Hearts & Hugs - Time for Tea Designs DT

Happy Wednesday!

I've really felt the cold since it snowed on Sunday.  The snow only lasted a couple of hours but the boys made the most of it!!!

I'm sharing another card from the Time for Tea New Release using the Happy Mail Critters Stamp set.

It's a fun set with sentiments that will cheer anyone up at this time.  All my images were coloured using my Chameleon pens and fussy cut.  I die cut the hearts and their frames in different colours and added white heat embossing to the sentiments.

I found the perfect background paper using a Trimcraft First Edition pad I recently treated myself to.

As ever you can get 10% off anything in store using my code T4TSHABNEEZ10 to include the new release.

See you again on Friday,
