DC Less is more

 

Hello crafters,

This week Enfys came up with a cool topic for the Daring Cardmakers:

Less is more

It is always tempting to add another embellishment, but this week we want to see cards with at least 75% of the card left totally blank – no stamped or embossed backgrounds. Lots of white space… try it, it’s amazing how effectove it can be.

I usually put a lot on my cards, but I loved leaving a lot blank. It’s really effective and I’ll try it more often.

This time I tried to make one (more) „feminine“ and one (more) „masculine“ card again. I love this concept which I saw on a blog a few years ago.

DC Cards with attitude

 

Hello, crafters!

As every Friday the Daring Cardmakers have a new crafty challenge for you:

Kathy wants to see cards with attitude!

She says:

Its time to break out of the rut I often find myself in and I want you to join me   .  I would love to see cards with a difference this week. The kind that surprise the recipient by being a bit different from regular flat(ish) squares and rectangles we all like to make. 
For example; box cards, pop-ups, shaped cards, cards with unusual folds, cards that rock, cards with secret compartments.
Maybe look for a kind of card you've never made before and have a go at that

Unfortunately I’m very short on crafty time at the moment and I didn’t manage to try out a new kind of card/folding/technique. But I remembered that I love „endless cards“ as baby cards. So I thought I should give it a try again after a while.

I hope I’ll be able to craft a bit more during my summer holidays which will start at the end of July! Can‘t wait….

Hello, crafters!

Yay, it’s July! And the Daring Cardmakers have an amazing inspirational picture for you.

Dawn picked this amazing picture… which reminds me of my fabulous holidays. And I just love summer and hot temperatures 😊:

Here’s my card. I used the colours, palm trees and a floral element (leaf).

 ... and here are some palm trees from my holidays in June:
