Daring Cardmakers - Word Prompt - WISH

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

Lets continue with the festive challenges and the word prompts.  So this week the word is WISH.  How does this word inspire you?

Anything goes and it doesn't have to be for Christmas.

I created a letters to Santa inspired card.  I thought all these letters could contain what might be on children's wish lists for Christmas.

I used the Parcel and Post stamps and dies from Spellbinders.  The set comes with a post box and lots of foliage, you can then buy the Christmas add on die set.  I also bought the coordinating stamps as you get several different greetings for all occasions along with the cute letter.

Don't forget to stop by next week and we will have another festive challenge for you.

Thanks for stopping by today and have a lovely weekend.

Hello Everyone - We are back on line

 Hello everyone.

I just wanted to share a little post to explain my recent absence.  I disappeared for 3 weeks as we have been without our phone line due to the recent storm here in Brittany, France.  The area suffered lots of damage and lots of homes including ours were without power and telephone.  Thankfully we are now back up and running so I am going to make this a little catch up post with my projects so far for the Daring Cardmakers.

The last two challenges from the team were word prompts.

So the first one was COSY.  

I decided to make a COSY winter scene shaker card.  I used a gumball machine die set and added the little die cut house inside.  I really love the white ceramic houses and I managed to get some this year for my Christmas home décor and they light up.  These make me feel all festive and COSY.

This weeks word prompt was WOOD and you still have time to enter the challenge.

I made some festive gift tags and used some wooden letter tiles and wood effect designer series paper.  I love the rustic feel to these and they would also look pretty hanging in your Christmas tree.

Don't forget to stop by tomorrow as normal business will resume and I will be sharing the latest challenge from the team at the Daring Cardmakers

November Elemental Inspiration - Daring Cardmakers

 

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

Its time to get all festive with the team and make a start on this years Christmas projects.  Each week up until Christmas we will have a festive inspired challenge for you but to kick things off this week we have the monthly elemental inspiration challenge.

Remember to pick at least 3 elements from the image below and you can make anything from cards, to tags and gifts.  So anything goes.

For this weeks project I picked a bit of plaid, woodgrain, some oranges and foliage.

To make the oranges I used the Sweet citrus set from Stampin up.  I then added some festive foliage using the retired decorated with happiness set and holly came from the parcel and post set from Spellbinders.

I love the rustic and cosy feel to my card.

Don't forget to stop by next week and we will have another festive challenge for you.

Thanks for stopping by today and have a lovely weekend.
