Hello crafters,
Sorry that I missed a few weeks of blogging. Now I’m back đ!
Dawn picked this picture for the Daring Cardmaker’s April elemental
challenge:
Use three elements on your cards.
I used a toad stool, leaves and „wild“ animals.
I was so happy that I found this great die set that I was
motivated to make three very different cards at once.
Here's a closer look at the other cards:
Have a happy Easter weekend!
Greetings from the Easter fountain in my home town.
Hello crafters!
This week I picked the challenge fort he Daring Cardmakers.
This week we want to see
LITTLE ONE(S)
Either
cards for the little babies and young children in your life
or
you
use tiny little letters, sentiments or images on your card!
I made some baby cards with some pre-stamped images from my
stash and a cute patterened paper pad in pastell colours.
We also tested my friend's new purchase: this cute duck familyđ.
Hello crafters!
This week Kathy from the Daring Cardmakers challenges you to use
spots and stripes
on your cards.
I tried to use up the last scraps of a paper pad, which
I love, but which I had for quite a long time now ... and I try to use up what
I have before I buy new craft supplies.
This is a fun fold card. So I used spots on one layer,
stripes on the other and combined it with a floral design.
Hello crafters,
Yay! March is here … and that means that spring is just
around the corner. It’s still freezing cold here with minus degrees in the
morning, but the sun is already getting stronger and shining a lot longer.
I picked this spring picture for the Daring Cardmakers:
Get inspired and use three elements from the picture on
your card.
I chose a bird, flowers, branches and soft pastell colours.
After trying out a few ways to use this scene die set I
really like using white cardstock at the moment and then colouring all the
different elements.
Get inspired and crafty … and show us your results!
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?
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.
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 đ.
And being in a love-hearts-red&pink mood … I used up a paper
pad and made some bookmarks with the leftover scraps.
