Floral Focus - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

As it's the first day of Spring the Daring Cardmakers have a floral challenge that I'm sure you'll want to join in with.  I thought it was perfect with Mother's Day looming and in fact I'm sharing the card I made for my Mum.

I love making Mother's day cards as I have the freedom to use whatever I please.   I was fortunate to have a lot of Mother's Day commissions this year so my creativity went into overdrive! Ha!

I treated myself to a stamp set that was on offer, heat embossed and framed it.   I went all out on the florals with the background and additional blooms as my Mum is a huge fan of flowers and is a very keen gardener.

You can see lots more floral inspiration from the DT HERE.

Layer It Up! - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

It's been a very exciting week for me with lots of amazing crafty adventures on the horizon.  I also received some crafty packages in the post together with a very thoughtful card from a fellow crafty friend.

Today I'm hosting the Daring Cardmaker Challenge and I've chosen the theme to be 'Layer It Up!'.  I've used paper layers on my card with an additional layer of wire!

I used items from a couple of my craft packages received namely the die set and the WRMK Happy Jig.  I often buy used items as you can pick up some good bargains and both these certainly were!  This card is centred around the love birds.  I googled what love birds look like and used the bright colours to layer up the die cuts.  

It only took me about 5 minutes to shape the word 'love' on the Happy Jig - it was much easier than I had anticipated.  I definitely think it's a tool I'll be using often and one I recommend for sure.

Lots more wonderful inspiration can be found HERE together with the link to join in with this week's challenge.  I can't wait to see your creations!

We have guests for dinner this weekend so it'll be a busy but enjoyable one once I decide what to cook that is!  I always finding deciding what to cook the most difficult.  

Have a great weekend!
