Daring Cardmakers - Just My Type

Hello everyone and welcome to the weekly challenge from the team at the Daring Cardmakers.

Nat is our lovely host this week and would like you to feature a typewriter or typewriter style font on your projects.

I had to do some digging through my craft stash for this one.  I don't have a typewriter stamp or die so I tried to find a font style.

I decided to go down the more masculine route with my card as I was still feeling inspired from my own challenge.

The stamped sentiment came from a set of stamps called waves of inspiration from Stampin Up.

I have created a little camping scene with the cute camper, a few trees and I used a piece of designer series paper in the back.

Have a great weekend.

 

Zesty Home Decor

 Hello everyone and I hope you had a lovely weekend.

I have realised that I have a collection of box frames as I keep buying them from our local Action store.  I love it in there as they also stock my favourite cleaning products by the brand Fabulosa.  I think I can officially call myself an Action fan.  So today I have another home décor piece to share with you, using one of the many box frames I have.

I have used the fun and zesty Sweet Citrus stamp set along with the matching die set.  You can also get the coordinating embossing folder to give the lemons loads of dimension. 

I have created a wreath to put inside the frame and added a die cut sentiment in the centre.

This actually hangs in my entrance hall way to welcome visitors and the summer months.

I also added some more foliage to the wreath using the Lighting The Way stamps and matching dies.

I  added a few table diamonds to the inside of the frame to add lots of sparkle and a few gems.

Thanks for stopping by today and have a great day.

Daring Cardmakers - Men Folk Inspired

 Hello everyone and welcome to the weekly challenge from the team at the Daring Cardmakers.

Its my turn to host this weeks challenge and as its nearly fathers day I would like to see some masculine inspired projects.

It doesn't have to be for Fathers Day but I do know as a crafter this type of card I always struggle with.

My brother has a big birthday coming up so I thought I would use this challenge to create a card.  ( I hope he doesn't see my post) 

I have used the brewed for you set from Stampin up to create the glasses of lager.  I then used the rays of light stamp to make the number stand out, just to remind him of how old he is, lol.  I then used the brick and mortar embossing folder to add some texture to the card.

Thanks for stopping by today and please head over to the Daring Cardmakers Blog for more lovely inspiration from the Design Team.

Have a lovely weekend and to all the Father figures out there, have a great Fathers Day on Sunday.

My Dad will always be in my heart and I miss him everyday day.

Daring Cardmakers - Everything's Coming Up Roses

 Hello everyone and welcome to the weekly challenge from the team at the Daring Cardmakers.

Joanne is our lovely host this week and as roses are the birth flowers for June, would like to see roses on your card.  But if you are not in the mood for flowers, yellow roses symbolises friendship so you could perhaps feature something yellow on your project.

I didn't use roses but I did use yellow flowers.

Also my apologises for the absence last week but I had hurt my shoulder at work so crafting was a little difficult.  I also seemed to have followed my own inspiration from a previous challenge and made another wreath.

I have used the fabulous Cup Of Tea stamps from Stampin Up to create the wreath.  I then didn't want to leave the background plain so I used an embossing folder.

I love wreaths on cards or even as a home décor piece.  As long as you have a good stamp and die set with lots of foliage you can create one.

Have a lovely weekend.

Box Frame Flowers

 Hello everyone.

I thought I would share a blog post before my children return from school and I have been sitting on this project for a while.  I think I did share it a while ago over on my Facebook page.  

As the weather is now more summery I thought it would be nice to post it here as its such a bright and cheerful project.  But as I type this we are now having a thunderstorm.

I have made this pretty box frame filled with lots of paper flowers.

Most of the flowers are made using Spellbinder dies but the small daisies were made using a Fiskars punch.

I do like to sit on evening and die cut lots of flowers then just sit and put them together.  Its lovely and relaxing.  You can put them away to use later on a card or do as I have and make some lovely home décor pieces.

The box frame was one I had in the house, I think it came from Hobby Craft a long time ago.  I do like to switch out my pictures and using these box frames is great for that as you don't have to worry about the project getting squashed.

Thanks for stopping by today.
