Daring Cardmakers - Under and Over, Repeat

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

Kathy is our lovely host this week and would like to see some sort of weaving on your card.  This could be from strips of paper, a stamp or an embossing folder with an woven pattern or perhaps some woven fabric. 

I had a go at paper weaving.  This is something I remember doing at school when I was child.  I then thought it looked like a  fruit basket so I added lots of fruit to my card and then a cocktail as you use fruit to make cocktails.  Now I need a cocktail as its nearly the weekend.

I then added some bling and a fun sentiment.

Have a great weekend.

Daring Cardmakers - Always Autumn/Forever Fall

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

Its my turn to host the challenge and I have picked a theme of Autumn/Fall. I love this time of year and all months that end in BER.  This time of year is perfect to get cosy at home.  So please share your cosy autumn/fall themed cards this week.

So grab yourself your favourite autumn drink and get creating.

I decided to use a wreath of leaves on my card with lots of lovely autumn colours.

I have used a retired set from Stampin Up called Sparkle of the Season to create the wreath on my card.

The little die cut mushrooms came from a set from a shop called Action and I decided to use black as my base card as I think the colours look stunning against it.

I then added some gems and a sentiment to finish the card along with some extra leaves.

Daring Cardmakers - Take a Break

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

Miri is our lovely host this week and would like you to share something on your card that you do when you take a break.  This could be a nice cup of tea or coffee or perhaps a walk in the country.

For me it would have to be a holiday to a tropical island all by myself and just have some time for me to relax and deal with everything that has happened and is happening in my life.

We spent the summer school holidays at home this year so a nice holiday would be lovely.

I have used a stamp and die called sweet citrus from Stampin Up which is actually a set that contains lemons.  I stamped the outer layer in brown to look like a coconut and coloured the centre slighting with a light grey marker.

The tropical leaves came from a Spellbinders die set that I had in my stash.  I also used a retired designer series paper set called By The Bay as the piece I used looked like the beach.

Daring Cardmakers - Collage It

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

I am so late sharing my post for this challenge which is hosted by the lovely Rizwana who would like you to feature a collage on your projects this week.

This is great challenge to use it all my small pieces of designer paper that you hold onto because they are to pretty to put in the bin but sometimes to small for a card.

I had these pretty bee papers with lots of gold foiling so I used a hexagon shaped die and cut lots of different designs out and glued them to the base of the card.  I picked the hexagon shape so it looked like honey comb.  From the same paper I also die cut the bees and added those.

I finished the card with a some bling and a simple stamped sentiment.

Have a great week.

Daring Cardmakers - September elemental Inspiration

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

Our lovely host this week is Nat who has selected this gorgeous image below for the September elemental inspiration challenge.

Remember to use at least 3 elements on your creation and happy crafting.

I picked the colours, foliage, lemons, wood grain and tea cups.

I used a piece of woodgrain designer series paper for the base of my card.  I then added the tea cups using a retired set from Stampin Up called Cup of Tea and the sentiment came from a set called Sweet Citrus.

I also added a few lemons and a little tea bag label which are also from the Cup of Tea set.

Some of my most used stamps and dies are the ones containing cups or are coffee themed as I think they are great for all kinds of occasions.
