Plant a Flower

Happy Friday crafty friends, Jenny here!

I hope you've had a good week and found a little time for being creative. It's my turn to host our challenge this week so I hope you will share your card projects below.

Today is "Plant a Flower Day" so to honour this I would love to see projects showing your favourite flowers.

I find it difficult to pick just one but as spring is just around the corner in Scotland we have lots of snowdrops popping up and they are definitely one of my favourites.

The team have created some beautiful cards, can't wait to see what you come up with!

March Elemental Inspiration

Good morning!

Well a brand new month is upon us, so of course that means that it's time for a new elemental inspiration dare.

But first, thank you to those who played along with the fairytale-inspired challenge last week. You are indeed the fairest of them all. ;)

So on with the inspiration image for March:

Just a reminder for our elemental inspiration dares, you need to interpret 3 elements from the image with only one element being colour.

As always, we look forward to seeing where this inspiration takes you.

To get you started, here are the wonderful projects the design team came up with:

Fairy Tale Day

Hello everyone welcome back to another Daring Cardmakers Challenge. Thank you to everyone who took part in last weeks Kiss Kiss challenge. It was lovely to see your creations.

It's Rizwana here with this weeks new challenge. It’s National Tell A Fairy Tale Day today and I would like you to create a card inspired by your favourite Fairy Tale or fairy-tale characters. So take out your fairies, princesses, knights, goblins, witches, elves, trolls, dragons, giants and talking animals.

It could be one of the ones you loved as a child like:

* Cinderella

* Rapunzel.

* The Little Mermaid.

* Goldilocks and the Three Bears.

Have fun and we can't wait to see what you create. Here are some ideas from the lovely Design Team.

Kiss kiss

Hello all, thanks for sharing the love with us for last week's challenge!

Kiss Kiss!

Joanne here with more love on the agenda this week as it’s Kissing Friday! Did you know that on the Friday of Shrove Week, English schoolboys were once entitled to kiss the girls without being punished or rejected? You can see a bit more about the tradition here.

So, the challenge is to make a card with a kiss this week - it could be an image of characters kissing, some luscious lips or perhaps you’ll use a kissing technique with your rubber stamps. For extra brownie points K.I.S.S and make your card clean and simple!

Share The Love.

Hello everyone and thank you for taking part in last weeks elemental inspiration challenge. It was lovely to see how you were inspired by the image.

Its Dawn here with this weeks challenge and as Its nearly valentines Day I would like to see your cards featuring some love.

Its doesn't have to be just for valentines. Think of an occasion when someone needs a little love, a hug or even just a card to show you care. Things are hard at the moment so sending a card just because you care is so needed and will be appreciated.

SHARE THE LOVE

Have fun and we can't wait to see what you create.

Here are some ideas from the lovely Design Team.
