Bloom and Grow

 Hello and welcome to the weekly challenge from the team at the Daring Cardmakers.

We all hope you had a lovely Easter and a big thank you to everyone that joined in last week with the April elemental inspiration challenge.

Its Dawn here and this week I would like your cards to be inspired by your garden.  As the weather is now changing and we are  hoping to spend more time outside, I would like to see what you plan on growing this year.  Please share your cards featuring beautiful flowers or plants.

April Elemental Inspiration

 Hello everyone and welcome to another fun challenge from the team.

It’s Dawn here with this week’s elemental inspiration challenge but I just want to say a big thank you to everyone that joined in last week.  It’s lovely to see all the special birthday creations with the numbers displayed on them.

April Elemental Inspiration

So for this week’s challenge I have picked the image below.  I decided on this theme as my daughter is into the cottage core/fairy grunge at the moment and has requested a birthday to match.  I am hope to see lots of lovely inspiration.

Remember to use at least 3 elements on your creations.

Let’s see how the Design Team were inspired.

 

Also, from all the team we would like to wish you a very Happy Easter and have fun crafting.

Number It!

Happy Friday!

It's Shabneez here and I'd like to thank those of you who joined in with the Beautiful Bees challenge last week. 

 

 This week, I'd very much like to see how you use numbers on your cards.  I think the cards I make the most have numbers on them!

NUMBER IT!

Create a card using numbers either in the background or for a special birthday or anniversary.  

Below are some amazing cards made by the Design Team to inspire you:

Spots and Stripes

Hello Crafters! 

 

Well done on getting to the end of another week - its been a rather chilly one here in the UK! But now its Friday and time for some crafty fun with a new Daring Cardmakers challenge to play with.

Thank you so much to those who joined in and share projects using Miri's lovely mood-board; we always love to see your creations!

 

Its Kathy here today and this week its all about

 Spots and Stripes

 Nice and straightforward! 

You can use both or either on your card this week.

I wonder how many ways to use them and techniques to make them you'll come up with...

Here's what the team have made this week

March Elemental Inspiration

 Happy Friday, Crafters!

It's Miri here with a brand-new challenge to kick off the month!

But first, thanks for sharing your treats with us last week. We hope that you can treat yourself to some more crafty time this week.

As it's the first Friday of the month it's time for the

 

March 2023 Elemental Inspiration Challenge

 

You need to pick any 3 elements from the photo for your card - remember colours count as one element.  

With it being the beginning of March, I am so ready for spring and all the light and colours that come with it.

We can’t wait to have a look at your spring creations.

 Here's how the design team interpreted the elements:

Treat Yourself

Morning all!

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

But first, we hope you enjoyed playing along with Joanne's challenge last week. I was particularly impressed by the creative and arty use of wax I saw!

The theme for this week's challenge is:

Treat Yourself

Inspired by Donna and Tom on Parks and Recreation, who celebrate the art of  treating yourself in the best way possible, I want you to make a card featuring something that's a treat or using something that you have treated yourself to!

Here are the treats that the design team came up with:

Nat 

The treat is a fancy stitching die that will not get used all that often, but I had to have it!

Kathy 

A slice of cake is always a treat!  

 Miri

I love treating myself to a cappuccino or latte macchiato from time to time. (And I even sit down to enjoy my special drink and have it in a real cup ;-))

Dawn

We don't very often get to go the pub/bar so when we do its a treat.
