Recycle!

Good morning everyone!

It's Ruth here bringing you a brand new challenge for this week.

But first I'd like to thank you for joining in with last week's floral focus - so many lovely creations which really brightened our day up!

Recycled

The world outside is certainly moving at a pace and we're all having to cope with many things outside of our control.

It's important to find some balance right now and I'm sure many of you are turning to your crafting projects for this.

Hopefully this week's dare will brighten your day and someone else's - even if you can't give them your card in person.

Your project needs to have a recycled element this week.

I do a lot of recycling in my every day life and I also like using bits and bobs that I find on packaging or other cards to reuse on my projects! I don't like to throw things away as I know that one day I will be able to make use of them!

Get your kids involved - we'd love to see what they can make too!

Here are some ideas from the design team to get you started!

Floral Focus

Good morning everyone!

It's Nat here bringing you a brand new challenge for this week.

But first I'd like to thank you for joining in with last week's lucky dare! Let's hope some of those lucky things start working soon. ;)

The world outside is certainly moving at a pace and we're all having to cope with many things outside of our control.

Your card project needs to have a floral focus this week.

Get those flowers front and centre!

Whether floral backgrounds, big stand-alone blooms, or dimensional flowers – let's bring the garden indoors.

Get stamping with vibrant inks, use your stencils for blending, crack open your stash of pens, or get your paintbrush at the ready.

We look forward to seeing your floral makes! :D

Lucky For Some

Thank you for joining us in last week’s elemental dare - wasn’t that a gorgeous mood board? It’s Joanne here to host this week’s challenge.

Lucky For Some
Friday 13th might be unlucky for some but it’s St Patrick’s day on Tuesday so we might be able to balance it out with the luck of the Irish! Make a card featuring something lucky.

Different cultures around the world have different symbols - you might choose a four leaf clover or a horseshoe. Or perhaps a peony, a dream catcher or the number seven. If you’re stuck for ideas, there’s a fun list here, plenty to choose from!

Here’s what the team came up with to start spreading a little luck:

March 6th Elemental Inspiration

Thank you for sharing so many fabulous card with us last week. It was great to celebrate the leap day with all kinds of leaping animals and even an astronaut taking a giant leap for mankind! ;-)
