Bon Voyage - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

I’ve been having a break from my blog and social media for some well earned family time before the boys go back to school. 

I’m just popping in to share my post for the latest Daring Cardmakers travel themed challenge. 

I used the First Edition Bon Voyage paper pad and the WRMK Alphabet Word Punchboard to create the pun.  The card was actually made for my brother's birthday as he has travelled across the pond after 2 years to see us - first time after COVID.  We are having so much fun with the family.

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

Have a great long weekend,

Summer Home Decor Vinyl Project - Collaboration With Craftlabel

Happy Wednesday!

With the summer holidays looming I thought I would share a project that can be done with children, either with some help, or if they are old enough, then they can have a go themselves!  The best part is they can hang it up for everyone to see or even make them as gifts!

I used an embroidery hoop as a frame and painted it with white acrylic paint.  It did not take long to dry at all.  I would recommend painting one side first, letting it dry, and then painting the other side as it can get quite messy otherwise.

For the focal point I used my trusty Cricut and some of the First Edition Digital SVG files.  These are incredibly versatile as they can be resized according to the size of your frame. 

I wanted a summer themed project and used the sun and ‘sunshine’ sentiment from the Baby & Children Digital set, clouds and raindrops from the Nature Digital set and ‘Hello’ from the Sentiments Digital set.  These were just downloaded onto my Cricut and I then resized to fit my frame.

I stuck all the vinyl elements onto Dovecraft Heat Resistant Acetate, which is clear, and the perfect thickness.  I then used a hot glue gun to adhere the embroidery hoop to the acetate.  I cut off the excess acetate that was overlapping the hoop with a pair of scissors.

I thought the frame needed a little something additional; leading me to cut out several raindrops using the First Edition Nature Digital set in both dark and light blue vinyl.  I cut 3 lengths of bakers twine and secured them on to my embroidery hoop.  I stuck a raindrop on one side then turned it over and stuck another on the other side so you don’t even need any glue!  I did that with all 7 raindrops.

To finish the project I added some more bakers twine to the top and knotted it so you can hang it with pride!

Why not take inspiration from this project and have a go in the summer holidays!

Animal Antics - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

We have a week left before the boys break up from school.  My eldest will not be going in after today as the Covid cases have risen so much at his school so thankfully he will be taught online.  I just wish the school had taken the decision to do this when the numbers began to rise.

This week the Daring Cardmakers are sharing animal antics towards their Countdown to Christmas.  I happened to have a penguin already coloured in with my Chameleon pens so after fussy cutting him out I thought about a background and it was the antlers that made me think of the woods!

The winter wonderland background came together so easily using the stunning papers from the First Edition North Star Paper Pad.  The hardest part was choosing which ones to use!  

I used a stitched edger die for the snow and a beautiful oval die set to frame the scene, both from Time for Tea Designs. 

You can see lots more inspiration from my fellow DT members HERE and I hope you'll join in.

Have a lovely weekend and see you next week,

December Elemental Challenge (Countdown to Christmas) - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

I'm so glad this week is coming to an end.  It's been a tough one with injuries and worries galore.  I've still got to deal with one injured little man who may need an x-ray.......

As it's the first Friday of the month it's the elemental challenge over on the Daring Cardmakers.  This time I took inspiration from the First Edition Almost Christmas Paper pad.  I cut a piece from one of the papers to make my focal point and ended up making this fancy fold easel card!

I like plaid papers for Christmas/Winter cards as they seem to have the warmth associated with Christmas.  I've added a sentiment and a little additional paper from the Winter Sparkle collection as it ties in well.

Below you will see the image from which you need to choose at least 3 elements.  Lots of choice this week and I picked the squares, colours, stars, tree and foliage.  You can see lots more inspiration from the Design Team HERE.

Have a lovely weekend and I'll see you again next week,

Bloom & Wonder Card & Envelope Set - Trimcraft Maker

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,

Natural, Gold & White - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

It's been a strange old week, I started off really productive then things started getting in the way so I wasn't able to achieve as much as I wanted to.  I had a horrible start to the day today though - a van veered my car on to the other side of the road.  This was on a main road but thankfully it was clear in the other direction.  It was so scary and I was shaking afterwards.  I've decided I'm buying a dash cam as driving is becoming increasingly hazardous.

Anyway, there's a lovey Christmas theme challenge just begun on the Daring Cardmakers - Natural, Gold and White.  I must admit initially I found it hard as I just had sooooo many ideas going on but settled on this one!

Earlier on in the week I was lucky enough to win a Papermill Direct prize draw and so I used the kraft card from that on my design.  I also used a newly purchased Stitched Sentiment & Scallped Frame Die from Time for Tea Designs which you can find HERE and it fits perfectly on a 6" x 4" card blank.  So many of the scallped frames are the American A2 size.  I also have a 10% off code so if you want to order the die set then you can use code T4TSHABNEEZ10.

The Merry Christmas sentiment die is a freebie Crafter's Companion one and the snowflakes are from the Trimcraft Simply Creative Range.  To finish, I added some Tonic Nuvo drops to add a little texture.  I hope you'll join in with the challenge and you can see more inspiration HERE.

I'm very much looking forward to this weekend as my current cycle of demos are over and tomorrow we are going to celebrate our neighbours' Ruby Wedding Anniversary with them.  The husband has organised a surprise for his wife and has ended up hiring an entire restaurant!

Have a wonderful weekend whatever you do and see you again soon,

Christmas Songs & Carols - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

The Daring Cardmakers have a 'Christmas Songs & Carols' themed challenge starting today and I just had to use Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer on my creation.  The song brings back a lot of memories as I recall my brother being about 5 years old and singing it at the top of his voice everyday as it was part of a school assembly.

My Rudolph has a bell for a nose and it has had many compliments from the lovely people that have come to my recent Trimcraft demos.  Rudolph is a Simply Creative die, a Trimcraft range which is at the cheap end of the market.  I've added silver glitter glue to the eyes.

I hope that you'll join in with this fun challenge and you can find the link and more information HERE.

I am very much looking forward to this weekend as we are getting together with family on Saturday and I have my final demo of the season for Trimcraft on Sunday at The Range in Enfield.

Have a wonderful weekend,

Baubles & Bows - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

You'll be pleased to know I've had a much better week and getting back on track again.  This also means I've been able to get crafting again which makes me happy.  The icing on the cake this week was receiving a Flourpot (a cake in the form of a very realistic potted plant) from my husband which was a lovely gesture and cheered me up no end.  After all, who doesn't like cake?!

The Daring Cardmakers would like to see Baubles & Bows on your creations today.  I really enjoyed this challenge and you can see a lot more inspiration from the Design Team HERE.

My card is one I created at one of my recent Trimcraft Christmas demos and is a gatefold card using the Dovecraft Christmas Tales collection.  I have used decoupage elements for the centre which has a bow on the wreath to which I have added a gem.  The baubles are all fussy cut from the papers and stuck on.  I have added a strip of washi tape to the bottom of my card to finish.

More information on the Challenge here:

Speaking of my Trimcraft Christmas demos, I now have two left.  This Sunday I am at The Range in Harlow and next week I will be in Enfield.

I hope you have a good weekend, whatever you do!

Use Up Your Scraps - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

How has your week been?  I've had a challenging week, basically there aren't enough hours in a day and I'm learning I have to let go and do what I can.  So long as my deadlines are met of course!  I have a man down today - always sad when they're not bouncing around but hopefully he'll be better after some rest over the weekend.

The Daring Cardmakers are encouraging us to use up scraps this week with their latest challenge.  I always end up with lots of scraps when I craft and this happens more at my demos so I'm showing you one way I use them up!

Scraps are perfect for making impossible cards as you need smaller pieces that you wouldn't normally use on other cards and they don't have to be the same design either.

I have used the Paper Addicts Magical Stories paper pad for my impossible card and added some Dovecraft Washi Tape, a mini glitter envelope and a Merry Chrismas die.  I've kept it simple so the papers are highlighted on the card.

Speaking of Trimcraft Christmas Demos, I am at The Range in Stevenage this Sunday and St Albans next week.  The impossible card in various sizes has been going down very well so far with both new and advanced crafters alike.

You can find a lot of examples using scraps by my fellow DT members HERE and I hope you'll join in with this challenge and use up your scraps!

See you again tomorrow!

Stitch It! - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

It's my turn to host the challenge on the Daring Cardmakers this week and I have chosen to 'Stitch It!'.  I'd like you to incorporate stitching in any way on your card be it real or faux!  You can see lots more inspiration from the Design Team HERE.

This is actually one of the Show samples I did for the We R Memory Keepers Stitch Happy Pen Show on Create & Craft.  It was the last sample I did and so I wanted to incoporate a couple of the templates - in this case the 'hello' and the leaf together with some free hand sewing to see how easy it was.

With the templates in the kit you have to trace through them then stitch.  With the freehand stitching at the bottom I made a basic pattern but I didn't want to go to the effort of drawing so I just did some straight lines and it was really quick and easy to do.

Above you can see a close up of one of the leaves which was a template and I have sealed it with sticker paper to stop the stitches from unravelling underneath before cutting it out.

I'd definitely recommend using the Stitch Happy Pen with 2 sheets of card stuck together in order to get the best result.  I found if I was using a single sheet, no matter how thick the weight of the card the pen would bend my card through the square or I'd get huge holes as the pen would go through too easily.

Have a great weekend whatever you do.  I'm at The Range in St Albans this Sunday with the latest Trimcraft collections.

Using Stencils to Create Christmas Card Toppers - CrafTangles DT

Happy Weekend!

I'm so very glad the weekend is here although I'm actually teaching for most of the day today.  I'm up on the CrafTangles blog with a post on making your own Christmas toppers for cards.

I had a bit of a production line going and to begin with I die cut some shapes and made all the toppers using images from a stencil together with distress inks.

For all the cards I used the Trimcraft First Edition Jolly Holidays papers as backgrounds.  It's definitely one of my favourite paper pads this winter.

So for my first card I gave the Christmas tree and ombre effect and added washi tape, lime green card and a sentiment to finish.

For my next card I used the fun candy cane image and created 3 toppers adding a sentiment to finish.

My final card uses the deer image which I inked in milled lavender and weathered wood distress inks.  I really liked the subtle effect it gave to the topper.

I finished off with a sentiment and co-ordinating papers.

There's more of an in depth tutorial HERE if you want to know more about how I created these cards.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend and hopefully see you next week!

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.

What's Cooking? - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

This week's Daring Cardmaker is very apt as I spent a lot of time cooking yesterday in readiness for a number of visitors.  My Dad has cousins all over the world and a couple of families from Canada and Australia happened to be in London at the same time so I hosted a bit of a reunion yesterday.  It was a joy hearing all their childhood tales and to see them reminisce.  

This week's Challenge has been set by Joanne who has asked for an item of food to be incorporated on our cards as well as extra brownie points for using an item from the kitchen.  

I opted for a summer fruit - the strawberry.  I used really old backing papers that have strawberries on too.  All the dies I hadn't used before but had for some time.  I felt quite ashamed it took me so long to use them but I was equally pleased I had!  I didn't use anything from the kitchen for my card but my Team mates have been very imaginative and you can see their makes and join in with the challenge HERE.

I hope you have a really good weekend whatever you do.

See you again soon!

Outdoors in the Summer - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

Outdoor dining is something I really enjoy in the summer - barbeques in particular.  Earlier in the week I hosted an al fresco dinner for my husband's work colleagues wich was very enjoyable.  We've also been invited to visit our neighbours this weekend as they have one of those fancy pizza ovens in their garden so I'm very much looking forward to it!

Speaking of the outdoors, over on the Daring Cardmakers Miri has chosen a fabulous challenge this week perfect for this time of year.  She wants anything you might do outside in the summer on your cards.  For me it has to going to the seaside and eating ice-cream.  I absolutely love the sea and everything to do with it.  My other passion is eating ice-cream and I am known to eat them in the winter as well........

I've used the wonderful Beach Life papers and decoupage illustrated by the very talented Helz Cuppleditch that are produced by Trimcraft.  I bought them on offer from Create & Craft recently.

The collection just screams summer to me and I've used the papers for the background and added washi tape.  After making up the decoupage I've cut the shells and starfish from the papers and added them to the topper.  Don't you think the images are just so adorable?

There is plenty more inspiration over on the Daring Cardmakers blog HERE and I hope you'll join in with the challenge.

Have a great weekend!

Let's Go Tropical! - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

Not sure about tropical weather today which I could certainly do with as it's Sports Day for the boys today!  As I type I can see the grey clouds but hopefully they will pass...... I do enjoy watching the boys and their friends and cheering them on!

On with the Daring Cardmakers challenge which I set this week and I have requested anything tropical.  I'm talking about bright, bold colours and prints. Tropical, fruit, flowers, birds and animals can all feature.  I think you get my drift!

I've had such a lot of fun with my creation as the theme is one very dear to my heart being one who loves bright and beautiful!  I went all out using monstera leaves that are typically found in the jungle together with some tropical flowers and the Aloha sentiment.  Most of the dies are by Trimcraft.  My favourite has to be the pineapple which I'm sure you 'll agree is the star of the card - a favourite Trimcraft die of mine!

I do hope you'll check out the rest of the inspiration over on the Daring Cardmakers blog HERE and I look forward to seeing your creations!

Time to Say Goodbye - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

A little later than usual today as I have been trying to get my photo taken and it just wasn't happening - do you ever suffer with this?  It's either the lighting or the composition or both in my case!

Anyhow, on with the new Challenge over on the Daring Cardmakers which has been set by Svenja.  She has picked 'Time to Say Goodbye'.  This could be a new home, sympathy or retirement card.

I've gone along the sympathy lines but used a thinking of you sentiment.  The sentiment was one I've  had in my stash for a long time.  The papers are from the First Edition Perfect Allusion pad and I've made a gatefold card adding fussy cut flowers from the same paper pad.

Can you believe I have nothing planned for this weekend?  We have begun fasting for the month of Ramadhan so I'm trying to take it a little easier on the weekends.  I'm very much looking forward to it.

I hope you have  a wonderful weekend whatever you do!

Bee Happy - Daring Cardmakers

Happy Friday!

I made it!  Card made yesterday but this blog post was written in parts this morning.  I woke up early and blitzed the house - so exercise and cleaning all in one.  Don't you like my thinking?!

So, Enfys has chosen the challenge for the Daring Cardmakers this week and she wants to see anything to do with bees on your creations.  More inspiration can be found HERE.

I was gifted the Bee Happy collection from Trimcraft by a very kind and thoughtful friend and thought it would be perfect for this challenge.  All the printed papers and ribbon are from this range together with the sentiment which is cut from one of the ribbons.

My only additions are the scalloped frame die cut and the embossed bee die cut.

I have loads to be getting on with today, helping a friend with party preparations, commissions and parent meeting reports so it's all go!  Now can you see why I was up early?

Hope you have a wonderful weekend and don't forget to 'Bee Happy!'

Watch The Birdie! - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

Just got back from a Drop In session at school where we got to see what my eldest son has been up to.  It's a good idea to have these drop in sessions as not only do you get to see what the children have been doing in lessons, but it's really motivational for them to show you their achievements.   Plus, as it's first thing parents can come in before they go to work.

On with this week's Challenge for the Daring Cardmakers which I have set.  As the title suggests I would love to see a bird on your creation either as a focal point or embellishment, die cut or stamped.  Lots of choices so I do hope you'll join in and there's some amazing inspiration from the Design Team HERE.

As you can see, I've gone a little tropical for my creation, obviously thinking of the warmth and sunshine that you associate with it!

I've used the new First Edition Tropical Die set and added coloured card through the die cut image of the toucan - paper piecing using dies.  The addition of a tiny gemstone for the eye gives me my bling fix.  I've die cut some leaves to create foliage for the toucan to sit on.  A mini paper doily and die cut sentiment finish the card.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend.  I will be doing a Trimcraft demo at the The Range in Thurrock on Sunday which I am looking forward.

See you again soon,

Getting to Know You - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

I love Fridays.  No matter what sort of a week you've had you know you get to have a break from the norm over the weekend.

Over on the Daring Cardmakers, Dawn has set the challenge this week and she's asked what techniques you enjoy as a crafter and where you craft.  This was tough as I enjoy many techniques and I can't really narrow it down to one but for this post I've chosen die cutting as I treated myself to a couple of new dies and used them on this creation.

I ordered the scrabble tile letters as soon as I saw them but had to wait a couple of weeks for them to come into stock and I can see them being very useful.  The Mother's Day die was one I saw on a creation by a lady who came to see me at a demo last week.  I really enjoy seeing other people's creations and sharing ideas.

I've used stitched dies both for the circle and the grass as well and used an embossing folder for the background, inking over it to add extra texture. 

The wellington boot, sticker flowers, brads and papers are all from a Doodlebug kit I bought a long time ago.  I'm a big fan of vibrant colours so this collection was ideal for me!

Before I go, I better answer the second question about where I craft.  I really wish I could say I have a craft room but I can't.  I craft on the dining room table.  I need a table and structure to craft although I do all my die cutting on the floor.  I make a lot of mess when I craft and needless to say I have to tidy up afterwards as best as I can.....

I'd love to see what your favourite techniques are and where you craft so please join in with the Challenge and you can find more inspiration from the Design Team HERE.

Have a lovely weekend and for those of you celebrating Mother's Day - enjoy!

Paper Bouquet - March Elemental Challenge for Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy March!

Can you believe it's March already?! With all the snow we've had it's hard to believe it's March but through the snow you can see hope in the form of the Spring flowers.  The boys' school has been open so I've been taking them in and then they come home and spend as long as they can outside having snowball fights!

As you know by now, the first Friday of the month is an elemental one on the Daring Cardmakers.  

I chose the First Edition Wanderlust paper pad for this challenge.  I fussy cut the flowers from one of the papers and arranged them in a doily making a paper bouquet.  I added a couple of die cut leaves from the same paper pack and a brand new Dovecraft Happy Birthday die to finish.

You can see the image that Miri has chosen along with more inspiration from the DT HERE.  The elements I chose are the flowers, colours and patterns.

I hope you have a good weekend.  I have a Trimcraft demo at The Range in Romford on Sunday so I'm hoping the weather will be a little better and the roads clearer.
