Daring Cardmakers - BIG Celebrations

Hi everyone and its time for another challenge from the team at Daring Cardmakers.

Our lovely host this week is Miri and would like to see you cards this week feature of a once in a lifetime BIG Celebrations. This could be a wedding, a baptism or a big birthday, like a 18th, 21st etc...

This is quite a hard challenge considering what's happening in the world as a lot of celebrations have been postponed. My daughter celebrated her birthday in lockdown but we did try to make it extra special for her.

When I create cards I always get asked either to personalise them or add a number and a while ago I created a card for a BIG birthday so I thought I would share that today.

I used a retied set from Stampin Up called Follow Your Dreams which has this beautiful dream catcher.

I added the number to the dream catcher in silver glitter card and also for the die cut word. I also used a little heat embossing in silver on the dream catcher flowers and feathers.

Thanks for stopping by today and please check out more lovely inspiration from the Design Team over on the Daring Cardmakers Blog.

Have a lovely weekend.

Sneak Peek Alert

Hello everyone.

Today I am sharing with you some new products.

The annual catalogue from Stampin Up goes live on 3rd June but as a demonstrator I get to order the products before they are available to everyone else.

If you follow my blog you will know I am such a big fan of shaker cards. When I saw this new suite I just knew I had to order it.

The suite is called Flowers For Every Season and in the suite you get a beautiful stamp and punch where you can make these pretty jars of flowers. But the best part is the suite includes jar shaped shaker domes. This means you can add sequins and gems to the jar.

There is also matching designer series paper and I have used some here. The papers are 6x6" and you get 48 sheets of different flower designs which match the stamps perfectly. If you love roses, sunflowers and poppies then this is a great set for you.

There is also another stamp set available in the suite which has the most beautiful sunflowers with a matching die set.

If you come back and visit my blog on 3rd June I will be able to share more details from the catalogue about the items in the Flowers For Every Season Suite.

Coming Soon

Starting 3rd June until 30th June there will be a fantastic new joining offer, which will include:

The joining fee is £99/129 euros but you can choose £129/175 euros worth of product.

You can also choose an additional gift of any stamp/tool (die/punch)bundle for FREE.

You will also receive a discount on all your own orders.

Free shipping with your starter kit and all your business supplies should you wish to start one.

Come and join my team.

Thanks for stopping by today and see you soon.

Tropical Oasis Desiger Series Paper Toppers

Hello everyone.

We had some lovely sunny weather over the weather so I was inspired to make some summery themed cards.

I just had to use the Tropical Oasis Designer Series paper to make them.

For the first card I saw this layout over on Pinterest and I just added several die cut circles of the paper onto a background of pretty peacock which was embossing using the Pinewood Planks embossing folder.

This next card I have used a lot of white space but used the stitched rectangles just to break up the white. I then made this cute organmi folded shirt. I added some gold glitter dots to the front of the shirt to look like buttons.
