Creature Comforts - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

It's always hard juggling school holidays with work.  I like to make sure we have enough time to go out and see family and friends while keeping on top of my work deadlines.

Creature comforts is the theme for this week's Daring Cardmakers challenge and it's a cute one!

I have a lot of birthdays to make cards for in the winter so this challenge got me thinking of ideas.  I decided to go for a slimline card.  All my images were coloured in with my Chameleon pens and cut out.  The background is a mix of papers and paint splats and I stamped 'Happy Winter Birthday' in the middle to finish.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Trim The Tree - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

I celebrated my birthday earlier in the week and had company as my little one was off school with a rather bad cold.  We ended up getting a takeaway as a treat and cake to finish!

The Daring Cardmakers are asking us to 'Trim the Tree' this week and I have a number of trees on my creation this week from the Dovecraft Winter Wonderland paper pad.

As well as the papers this collection has a pad of toppers and lots of additional bits so you don't have to think about what to use as it's all there for you.  I also used washi tape at the bottom, the blue one is also from the same collection.

You can see lots more inspiration from the rest of the DT HERE and it would be lovely to see your creations if you have one to add.

Have a lovely weekend,

May Elemental Challenge - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

I'm pleased to report that both myself and my husband have had our first COVID vaccines - such relief.  Our next ones have been booked, but not until July.

I made a very quick card for the Daring Cardmakers challenge this week using a number of products from Aall & Create.  I love making backgrounds using stamps and stencils so just went with the flow and was inspired by the mood board below.

I stamped and die cut the bee and painted it using my distress oxides before adding some washi tape to finish.

The image below is the mood board from which you need to pick 3 elements - colours count as one.  I chose the colours, the bee, the honeycomb and the white on black writing.

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

Have a wonderful weekend whatever you do,
