Daring Cardmakers - Shimmer and Shine

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

Shabneez is our lovely host this week and loves sparkle just has much as me.  So this week add some shimmer and shine to your projects using gems, glitter, mirri card etc..

A card isn't complete until you add some bling (well in my opinion)

As Halloween is just around the corner I have made a spooky card.

 

I used the lantern die from the lighting the way set from Stampin Up and covered this in Verdigris embossing powder from WOW to give it a patina look.

I then used a retired set from Stampin Up called Sparkle of the Season to create the wreath and added the bats and pumpkins from the same set.

I also used some vertical striped paper for the base as I thought it added to the spooky vibe.

I then finished the card with a sentiment and of course some bling.

Daring Cardmakers - Alphabet Soup

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 use your alphabet dies or stamps on your project.  So your challenge is to create a sentiment on your card using those.

I have shared an older card that I had made but I didn't blogged about it. ( If I am honest time just escaped me this week)

I have used an alphabet die set from Spellbinders that I have had in my stash for ages.  This set has a block style font and is great for all cards of projects.

At the time when I made this card my son was wanting a video game themed party so I made his card with a fun sentiment.  I also die cut all the game controllers and made them as a background on the card.  I think they really pop on the black base.

If you saw last weeks post where I made an Nintendo Switch card you can tell that my son likes these themed birthdays so he has asked for another one this time around.

Daring Cardmakers - Fun and Games

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

Our lovely host this week is Joanne who has chosen a theme about fun and games.  This could be an indoor game, like a board game or an outdoor game, perhaps football or ruby etc.. 

I don't own any type of game craft products so I decided to make a game console card and made an Nintendo switch.

I used what punches and dies I had in my stash to create the base card and all the different buttons.  I am going to keep this card for my sons birthday as he loves to play Minecraft on his.

I hope to make a few more gaming style party items so I need to get my thinking cap on for his birthday in a couple of months time.

Daring Cardmakers - October Elemental Inspiration

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

As its the first Friday of the month we have an elemental inspiration challenge hosted by the lovely Shabneez who has selected the image below to spark your creativity.  

Remember to pick 3 elements from the picture to be used on your project.

I picked the colours, a tortoise, flower and the block stripes from the top right.

I have used this cute little tortoise and matching punch to create the card.  I added a little bit of ink to the background first and then stamped the foliage.

I also added a cute flower so the tortoise  is ready to celebrate a big birthday,  they do live until a ripe old age.
