Billions of Butterflies - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

It's a good job the weather has been so good as I've managed to do loads of washing following our trip away.  Getting the last bits ready for school as it's not long now and I'm looking forward to both boys being in the same school once again as my youngest will join his big brother in secondary school!

I was tasked with setting the challenge for the Daring Cardmakers this week and I have opted for butterflies - Billions of Butterflies!  

I love using butterflies on my cards and my rocker card above uses them both on the topper itself as a focal point and I've added extras as embellishments. I used the Kanban 'A Touch of Blush' collection to create the card - both paper pad and toppers.

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

Have a lovely weekend whatever you do,

Cards With Attitude - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

Wow! I can't believe it's been over a month since I last blogged.  I think there has been so much going on that I had to prioritise harshly with what I needed to do.  

I had to join in with the challenge this week for the Daring Cardmakers set by Kathy, to share cards with different shapes.

I love rocker cards and as it's Christmas in July for a lot of the craft industry at the moment I thought I'd share one of the latest collections from the latest Kanban collection - Home for Christmas.  I think the flowers from the collection add a little more elegance to the card.

I hope that you'll join in with the challenge and you can see more inspiration from the Design Team HERE.

Have a lovely weekend,

Go Glitter - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

I'm not looking forward to the clocks going back over the weekend as it means less daylight hours.  If I'm working away from home then I leave in the dark and come home in the dark.

Anyhow, Svenja has set this week's challenge over on the Daring Cardmakers today and she's chosen glitter!  You know how I love glitter but I have toned it down on my creation today!

I've made a rocker card and this was actually one of the cards I demonstrated at my recent Trimcraft Christmas Demos.  It uses the very cute and colourful Christmas Village collection by Helz Cuppleditch.

I used a glitter coated wooden star embellishment together with a glittered sentiment from the Decoupage pad.  I love how with a collection you can mix and match and it all goes together without too much thought.

Lots more glittery creations by my fellow DT members can be seen HERE.  I hope you'll join in with this sparkly challenge!

Have a lovely weekend whatever you do -  I'm looking forward to having a lazy day on Sunday to recharge my batteries.

Bye for now,
