DC Treat yourself

 

Hello crafters!

This Friday Nat from the Daring Cardmakers brings us a new challenge:

Treat yourself!

Make a card featuring something that's a treat, or using something that you have treated yourself to!

I love treating myself from time to time. My coffee maschine at home makes great coffee, but I don’t even own a milk frother. So if I treat myself to a coffee in a nice café/bakery, I always pick a cappuchino or latte macchiato to enjoy the foamed milk…

What’a treat for you? Or did you treat yourself with a crafty purchase lately?

 

DC Waxing lyrical

 

Hello crafty ladies!

Joanne from the Daring Cardmakers has a new challenge for you:

Waxing lyrical

Find a way to incorporate wax into your project — it might be figuratively (an image of candles, perhaps) or literally (e.g. use a wax crayon or candle to create a resist, try out a technique like this or this with wax paper, break out the encaustic wax and iron if you have them).

I used my sealing wax + seal on the card. It helps to keep the feather in place … I’m not sure if I love it though … it might look better on an envelope.

 

 

DC All loved up

 

Hey crafters!

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and the Daring Cardmakers bring you some lovely inspiration.

Dawn picked the topic:

All loved up!

I made two Valentine’s cards … for my two special female Valentine friends. A few years we started the tradition to either meet at Valentine’s Day (if it’s in the holidays or at a weekend) or send each other cards.

This year it’s cards on the 14th and a „Valentine’s breakfast“ next weekend 😊.

And being in a love-hearts-red&pink mood … I used up a paper pad and made some bookmarks with the leftover scraps.
