HAPPY AND BRIGHT- Daring Cardmakers Challenge

 Hello and welcome back to my blog!

I haven't blogged for some time over the last couple of months. As some of you may know, I lost my beloved father in April. Its been a very difficult time coming to terms with his loss. Some days have been more difficult than others. I am trying to take each day as it comes and still trying to make sense of it all. My dad would always bring me the brightest coloured flowers on my birthday. This year I will be reminded of that and of all the happiness he brought into our lives. May his star shine brightly as I dedicate this theme in his name. I would also like to dedicate this weeks happy and bright theme, for all of you out there who maybe going through some difficult time right now. So be strong now, because things will get better. It might be stormy now, but it can't rain forever.

              

This challenge is also a nudge to our British summer, two days of sunshine and we're back to the dull and gloomy days of rain.

This weeks challenge is called:

HAPPY AND BRIGHT

For my card I have chosen some pretty bright coloured papers from Simple Stories called Good Vibes. Once I had decided which papers I wanted to use I matted and layered them onto card. I added some more papers with geometric patterens then added my circle cut out with a setiment from one of Funky Fossil design stamps. 

 I hope you enjoyed my take on this weeks challenge. Show us some of your creations and don't forget to share on the Daring Cardmakers blog.Thank you so much for stopping by and I wish you all a very happy weekend. Check out all the inspiration from the DT over on the Daring Cardmakers blog;

Happy Easter

 Hello and welcome back to my blog!

This week its my turn to host this weeks challenge. As its Easter weekend I thought it would be great to have a Easter themed challenge. So I would love to see anything celebrating the Easter Season: Easter eggs, bunnies, chicks, daffodils and tulips.

My card this week is created using some Easter themed papers I had in my stash. So as I was creating my first card I really wanted to create some different ones too. Here's some I really enjoyed putting together as it was quick and didn't require lots of thinking.

 I hope you enjoyed my take on this weeks challenge. Show us some of your creations and don't forget to share on the Daring Cardmakers blog.

Let's Have Cake! Daring Cardmakers Challenge

 Hello and welcome to my blog!

This week I'm hosting the Daring Cardmakers Challenge! It's called:

LET'S HAVE CAKE!

Who doesn't like a slice of cake now and again? I would love to see your favourite cake or any type of cake on your cards this week. Cup cakes, birthday cakes, wedding cakes, chocolate cake, carrot cake or any other cake you like.

This card has been really fun to create, its from an old decoupage kit from Dovecraft. This card was super quick to put together perfect for when you need to create one at the last minute. I chose the vanilla and chocolate muffins and decoupaged them which gives a lovely 3D effect. Add a sentiment and there you have it a perfect birthday card ready for my friends birthday.

By the way I love carrot cake!!

I hope you enjoyed my take on this weeks challenge. Show us some of your creations and don't forget to share on the Daring Cardmakers blog.

February Elemental Inspirational Challenge-

 Hello and welcome back to my blog!

Its the first Friday of the month which means we have an Elemental Inspirational challenge. I'm your host this week and I've chosen a very pretty pink mouldboard. I'm not a fan of pink really but this looked so dreamy and fitted well with it being  valentine month too. So all you have to do is pick three elements to create your card remember colours are counted as one element, however choosing the colour pink is optional.

For my card I chose colours, hearts, flowers and things with wings.

I used First Edition Perfect Moments papers which fit perfectly with the colour theme and other elements. The butterfly has been created using the Fiskars butterfly punch. I added a sentiment using Sizzix Thinlet dies. 

 I hope you enjoyed my take on this weeks challenge. Show us some of your creations and don't forget to share on the Daring Cardmakers blog.

White On White- Daring Cardmakers Challenge

 Hello and welcome back to my blog!

I'm back with another new challenge! This weeks challenge is called;

That's All White Then!

Just go as white as you dare on your cards this week and use just a little colour if you really have to! We are excited to see what you come up with!

I really enjoyed creating this card until I had to photograph it. That was not fun with it being a dull day and trying to get the best light to take a picture took forever. I'm still not happy with results maybe I'll have to come back to this a some point and retake the photo. Anyway here's a little run down of how I put this card together. Firstly I embossed a piece of card using a dotted embossing folder. Then I adhered that to my card base. I die cut a frame, a floral element and a sentiment which was then all arranged on to the card and glued down. There you have it an all white card!!     

   I hope you enjoyed my take on this weeks challenge. Show us some of your creations and don't forget to share on the Daring Cardmakers blog.

Floral Frenzy- Daring Cardmakers Challenge.

Hello and happy Friday!

Welcome back to my blog! This week we have a brand new challenge over on the Daring Cardmakers blog. This weeks challenge is set by DT member Shabneez and its called; 

FLORAL FRENZY

We all have lots of flower themed craft supplies and Shabneez would love to see lots of florals on your creations this week.

I have created my card using papers by Stamperia called House of Roses. This paper pad has been in my stash for some time and its one of those I couldn't get myself to cut into. So I thought how can I share its beauty if I don't create with it so here I am with this beautiful card with the most gorgeous roses, don't you agree?

I hope you enjoyed my take on this weeks challenge. Show us some of your creations and don't forget to share on the Daring Cardmakers blog.

Just Peachy-Daring Cardmakers Challenge

Hello and welcome back to my blog!

 This week we have a brand new challenge over on the Daring Cardmakers blog and its set by DT member Nat. The challenge is called;

JUST PEACHY

Nat says, "A new year means a new Pantone colour of the year, and 2024 is the year of Peach Fuzz! So to celebrate this new focus colour, I want to see you use peach tones on your card in some way.

I have used some patterned papers for the base of my card and then added a strip of corrugated card in the centre. I punched some hearts using the Fiskars heart punch in two sizes. The hearts were then arranged onto the corrugated strip and for the middle one I used foam pads to give it a raised look. Finally I added a sentiment to the centre from Tim Holtz ideology stickers.

I hope you enjoyed my take on this weeks challenge. Show us some of your creations and don't forget to share on the Daring Cardmakers blog.
