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 family😊.
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 😊.
And being in a love-hearts-red&pink mood … I used up a paper
pad and made some bookmarks with the leftover scraps.
Hello crafty people!
Have a happy Friday and an awesome week ahead!
Joanne from the Daring Cardmakers gives you another
challenge to get crafty:
Around
the house!
You can
either use a household object as part of your creation (e.g. foil from the
kitchen, dry wall tape from the tool box, scrape a design into paint with the
prongs of a fork) or use an image of a household object as your focal point
(e.g. a TV, a food mixer, a games console). You could do both for extra virtual
brownie points if the mood takes you!
I recently found this paper pad with die cut images and
small patterened paper rectangles in my stash. The die cut images are cute …
but they don’t really fit on my cards and with my personal cardmaking style. So
I decided to use the cutest of them and turn them into mini paper projects that
fit on an envelope.
So now I have cute decorated envelopes and used up another
paper pad (yay!).
The envelopes don’t match the cards that I will send in
them. But that doesn’t bother me … and they will probably end up in a recycling
bin anyway (which is fine! I had fun making them and it made the post man and
the recipient happy! Win – win – win situation! Goals achieved!).
For this challenge I even combined Joanne‘s challenges: I
decorated envelopes (=household items) with die cut images of household items (drinking
glasses, a telephone etc.) 😊.
What’s your idea? Make a card or other crafty project and
share it with us!
