Cheer someone up!

Hello crafty people!

THANKS for sharing your beautiful cards with us celebrating new things in our lives and the lives of our friends (new babies,new houses etc.).

Today I (Miri) want to challenge you to

CHEER SOMEONE UP!

You probably know someone, who is ill or sad or having a rough time at the moment?! Make a card with an encouraging or funny sentiment to help lift their spirits.
(And try to send the card to your special friend as soon as possible!)

This also happens to be the Daring Cardmakers 800th blog post and we'd all like to take the opportunity to thank you for all your support and likes.

Happy crafting!

Welcome to a new challenge! Today I'm your host (Ruth) and I'd like you to share 'Something New'.

So this could be New Year, New Home, New Job or New Baby, or even New Stash or New Technique! It's up to you!

Just tell us in your post what your 'new' is!

We're also celebrating a New DT member!

January 2020 Elemental Inspiration - Feeling Blue?

Happy New Year!

Welcome to our first challenge if 2020!

It is of course an Elemental Inspiration dare where you need to feature 3 elements from the image below on your card (with colour/a colour scheme counting as one overall element).

This month's image choice is an homage to the 2020 Pantone Colour of the Year: Classic Blue.

You don't need to feature the colour blue on your card, there are plenty of other elements in the image that will work for any occasion, even Christmas and wintry cards if you're still in the mood for those.

Here are the fab projects the design team came up with:
