Hello and welcome to The Daring Cardmakers blog!
We are a team of card-makers from the UK, mainland Europe and India who'll try to inspire and encourage you to make some wonderful cards.
Every Friday at about 10am UK time, one of our design team will post a new dare/challenge, along with our creations to get you inspired.
So go on, give it a try - we dare you!
Leave us a comment with a link to your card so that we can view your lovely creations too!
It’s Friday again! First of all a
great “thank you” for everyone who played along with Kathy’s “life’s a
beach” challenge. You really gave us some summer holiday feeling!
It’s Svenja here and today it’s my turn to dare you. I’d like you to go for some
Heavy Metal.
Use
metal in any way, metallic cardstock, metallic paints, tinfoil, wire…
whatever! I’m looking forward to seeing what you come up with. But do have a
look at the Design Team’s inspiring creations first:
Hello, it's Kathy here with this week's challenge. First though we need to say a huge Thank You for sharing all those wonderful cards inspired by Gez's Colours of the Sea challenge, we really loved seeing what you created.
Life's a Beach!
I'm hoping that you'll be just as inspired by my challenge - we're staying at the seaside for another week, but this time, instead of working with seaside hues I'd really like your cards to feature some Beach
Paraphernalia; deckchairs, parasols, swimwear, flip-flops, buckets and spades, surfboards and sun-cream....the list of possibilities goes on, and on...
here's how the design team have run with the challenge this week - we can't wait to see you own Beachy creations, so please come back and leave us a link when you're ready to share.
Thank you everyone who joined in Svenja's fantastic August Colour Combo challenge. It was great to see all your lovely creations.
This week it's Zuzana here with a Sweet Things challenge:
We are invited to our dearest friend's wedding, so I came up with the idea to create cards with something sweet on. It can be wedding cake, cupcake, lolly, sweetie, ice cream... everything sweet and eatable.
I've added an inspirational photo to help inspire you

Here are the cards the team have made this week, we're looking forward to seeing your cards too.
Thank you to everyone who took part in Nat's Creature Comfort challenge last week. What would we be without our furry friends!
It's Svenja here and this is my first dare for you. It's a new month and therefore time for another colour combo challenge. It's been so hot here the last couple of weeks that I constantly found myself longing for something fresh. So I went for some
citrus,
not only for a drink but also for this dare.
I hope you will enjoy crafting as much as I did the lemonade I made right after I took this picture!
But before - just take a look at the inspirations the Design Team members have prepared for you.
