DC World Tourism Day

Hello, friends and crafters! Here is the new Daring Cardmakers‘ challenge.

Shabneez found out that it’s World Tourism Day today and it's role is to raise awareness of international tourism.

So she challenges you to create a card that features something from a different country or culture.

Oh. I got slightly carried away while crafting and created a card that celebrates travelling more than one specific country.

I tried to keep the card quite gender neutral. Wanderlust is part of my families‘ genes … one of my cousins is currently living and working in South America (and the other just returned from travelling through Australia/NZ) and my other cousin (my god daughter) is finishing school in July and already planning a year abroad. So it’s always good to have travel cards on hand.

Have fun visiting different countries via our blog, dream about travelling and make time for crafting and doing things that make you happy!

DC Got your number

Hello, crafters! The Daring Cardmakers are challenging you again to create a new card.

Ruth’s boys have their birthdays in September and hereldest has turned 16.  So her challenge to you is to create something with a number on it!

Use numbers on your card!

And it doesn't need to be a birthday number :)

I used a number stencil to create this background. Otherwise I kept it clean and simple so that I can use the card for any upcoming male birthday.

DC special thoughts

Hello, crafters! Happy Friday and let’s get crafty with the Daring Cardmakers.

Dawn picked this week’s topic:

Special Thoughts

The challenge I (=Dawn) have set is a personal one for me.  I recently lost my Dad to cancer after a 9 year battle.  My Dad was my hero and I miss him so much.  So I want you to create a card for that special person, in memory of someone special or just to let a friend know you are thinking about them.

As a family we received lots of cards after Dad passed away and it was comforting to know how much people cared.

I think it’s so brave of Dawn to share her personal story with us/you and so good to hear that (some) cards actually do make such a difference.

And I hope that most of our cards make a difference to someone and are able to touch/console/support/cheer someone up!

Here’s mine. The sentiment says: I miss you.

DC September elemental inspiration

Hello, crafters! Here’s the latest Daring Cardmakers‘ challenge.

It’s the first Friday in September. So as always we have an inspirational picture for you:

Pick at least three elements and use them on your card.

I picked pink, flamingo and a huge flower.
