Baubles, Bows and Boxes - Daring Cardmakers Challenge

Hello and Happy Friday!

Welcome back to my blog for another new challenge with the Daring Cardmakers. This weeks challenge is called; 

                                 Baubles, Bows and Boxes.

Three things beginning with B - you can choose one of them or all three to feature

when you make your project this week! Maybe make a bauble to put in a box and decorate with a bow!

Remember it doesn't have to be Christmas themed, and it can be a card or anything else you're inspired to get crafty and make. We'll leave this challenge open until we return on 7th January 2022 after our Christmas break.

This week I decided to take a break from card making and created a gift box using my We R Memory Keepers 123 punch board. These boxes are really quick and fun to create. I tied the box with ribbon and added some mini baubles. I created a bow using some silver ribbon and tied it in with the baubles.

 So this was the last of the challenges for this year while we take a short break over the festive season. I would like to thank you all for taking part in the challenges and for taking the time to comment on my social media pages and on the blog.

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 or our Facebook page Daring Cardmakers Create and Share. Thank you so much for stopping by and I wish you all a very happy weekend.

Trim The Tree- Daring Cardmakers Challenge

 Hello and welcome back to my blog!

So we are in the second week of December and its time to get into the festive spirit and start putting up your christmas trees and decorations. This weeks Daring Cardmakers challenge is called ;

                                       Trim the Tree!

Have you put your Christmas Tree up yet?  Do you have a coordinated theme or just throw every decoration you own on there?
Well this week we'd love to see some trees on your projects, please!
They can be any kind of tree you like, a Christmas Tree,  a Wonderful Winter Landscape or maybe some shady palm trees if you're in warmer climes!
Make it just one tree or a whole forest.

This week I have created a card with an inky background using distress oxides.

I just love blues,greens and purples together. I stamped Woodware Leggy Christmas Trees and added some shading to make them pop. I added the sentiments using some of the words from the same stamp set. To finish it off I added some doodles around the edges and stickles to give the trees some sparkle before mounting it onto the main card base.

Demember Elemental Inspirational Challenge

 Hello and Happy Friday!

Wow where did the year go its December already!!! In some ways I'm glad this year is nearly over as it wasn't the best year for us. We lost a few loved ones this year along with other bad news health wise within the family. Its been a bit of a roller coaster ride of emotions but I suppose thats life. So I'm really looking frorward to the New Year and hope and pray its a better one for all of us.

Its the first Friday of the month which means its the December Elemental Inspiration Challenge, over on the Daring Cardmakers blog. 

Our December mood board is all about the excitement of getting ready for Christmas.  The house needs decorating and the gifts need wrapping so there's holly and stars, wrapping paper and twine, baubles and candy canes... and loads more goodies to choose from. 

Just pick any 3 elements or more from from the picture below. Remember the colour palette counts as one element.

For my card I chose the Nutcracker, twine, stars, words and hessian.

I used patterned music paper for the background. Then I added some hessian ribbon which was tied in place with some twine. The stars were die cut from gold glitter and jade green card. I added a tag with the Nutcracker and finished it off using a sentiment from Winter Words by Fox and Found Studio. 

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 or our Facebook page Daring Cardmakers Create and Share.
