In the long run

Hello Cardmakers, Joanne here with this week’s challenge. Thank you for sharing your candles and cake with us last week!

Monday is a Bank Holiday here in the UK so that means it’s a long weekend. Use the idea of “long” to make your card. It might be the card shape (long and thin), an image of something long (dachshund dogs! soft drinks!), something representing a long journey or a long time (a map, a bird that migrates…), anything you can think of inspired by the idea of “long”!

Here’s a bit of long inspiration from the DCM team:

Cakes and Candles

It’s birthday month in my family!! 

There isn’t a week in August where it isn’t someone’s 

birthday. So there’s lots of cards to create. I would 

love to see your take on birthday cards with 

cakes or candles or both. 

Check out all the yummy inspiration by the design team.

Keep Your Cool

Hello Cardmakers!

 

It's Kathy here this week to say a big Thank You to those who were inspired by Nat's lovely August Inspiration Picture last week. We hope you enjoyed finding all the lovely textures, patterns and other elements that you could then use in your crafting.

I hope you'll have some fun with my challenge this week - feel free to head off on flights of fancy and dreams if necessary!

Keep Your Cool
It's been pretty hot so far this Summer - even here in the UK!  
So let's see your favourite ways to keep cool when the temperatures soar features on your cards this week.
A dip in the sea, putting your feet in a bucket of water, 

A snooze in a hammock in the shade (I wish!)

Sunhats and parasols

 Ice cream and ice lollies

A slice of juicy water melon

a long cold drink...

 

here's what our designers have been dreaming of this week!

August Elemental Inspiration Challenge

Good morning all!

 

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

But first, thank you to everyone who played along with our stencil-focused 

dare last week! 

There were so many wonderful projects and also a few items added to my wishlist now... ooops!

 

As it's the first Friday of the month, it's the return of our 

Elemental Inspiration challenge.

You need to incorporate three elements from the image below on your card, and the colours count as one element.

Here's how the Design Team interpreted the elements:
