Action

Happy Daring dare Everyone!

Thank you to all who joined in Enfys's fun 'Unnatural Colours' challenge 

last week - what great ideas!

This week we have just one word for you

Action

It's a one word challenge - the idea is that you use the word however it inspires you, or whatever it makes you think of. 

For example it could be sports action, or film, or an Action phrase like 'Action Stations', 'Take Action' or 'Lets see some Action!, or the card itself could have an action or moving element,  

Or anything else inspired by the word - it's all up to you.

So, how did the Design Team respond to the Call for Action this week?  With some great ideas, of course!

Unnatural

Hello, it's Enfys here to set this week's dare. 

First of all, thanks to everyone who played along with last week's challenge, as always, the team love seeing your take on the dares

This week's dare is using colour in a way that isn't found in nature, so I am calling it

Unnatural

So think of purple trees, pink elephants, yellow pigs and multi coloured forests........ we look forward to seeing where your imagination takes you!

August Elemental Inspiration

Thank you, Jess, Sylvia and Val, for sharing your glimpse into Wonderland with us and everybody else who had a look at our cards and shared their wonderful Wonderland creations.

It’s the first Friday in August and this is the summery picture I chose:

Please pick at least three elements and use them on your card. For example a flamingo, flowers, the colours, a huge sentiment, a pool or the sea etc.

We also want to welcome the talented
Lorre-Anne

into our team. She's agreed to be our Guest Designer for August. You can see here cards here and even more on her blog.

Here are some ideas from the Design Team to inspire you.

Welcome to Wonderland

Good morning everyone!

First of all a big "thank you“ to everyone who let themselves be inspired by last week’s "String Theory“ challenge. I’ve seen some very creative uses of string, ribbon and fibre and at least one that was entirely new to me.

It’s Svenja here and I’d like to take you to a wonderful place this week:

Welcome to Wonderland!

On July 28^th in 1951 the Disney movie version of Alice in Wonderland premièred in the US and I’m asking you to celebrate this non-un-birthday with cards referring to wonderland itself and/or its beloved inhabitants.

And of course the Design Team have prepared some inspiration for you:

String Theory

Hello Crafters, and Happy Friday!

Thank you so much for taking a Woodland Walk with us last week, it was lovely to see your ideas inspired by The Great Outdoors

String Theory 

!It's Kathy here today and don't worry, this week's challenge has absolutely nothing to do with physics (which I think String Theory does).  I don't "do" science - never have and never will, it just goes whooosh right over my poor little blonde head 

 All I'd like you to do this time, is to use string, twine, thread, fibres or that sort of thing when you make you card.  

You could use a little or a lot, I really don't mind.

Here's some inspiration from our team, then it's over to you

If You Go Down To The Woods Today.....

Hi, it's Enfys here with this week's dare.  First though, a very big Thank You to those who shared their lovely cards with us last week for our July Elemental Inspiration challenge, what great ideas you had. 

As it's the start of the Summer holidays, I thought a theme of

If you go down to the woods today......

would fit the bill. Think of country walks, picnics, rope swings, nature trails, camping......all those things that make Summer such a joy

Here are some ideas from the team to start you thinking
