July's Colour Combo Challenge

Well, a great big Thank you and Well Done to all those who joined in with Leo's fab Paper Mania challenge last week - It was fantastic to see so many ways of getting all those patterned papers onto one card - you all did brilliantly!

This is the first Friday of July so we have a Colour Combo for you to play with. This month Rein has chosen the colours and has this gorgeous photo to help get you inspired

As usual, we're all agog to see what you come up with using this delightful colour palette, so please come and let us know where we can see your creations.

Here are some idas from our DT to get you thinking

You can use more if you want to but you must use at least six different ones.

Resin inspiration

Hi everyone!

It's Nat here back with another dare. Thanks to all those who joined in with our Jubilee-inspired colour challenge last week - there were some lovely cards indeed. And it was also lovely to see how some folks were celebrating the Jubilee. :)

This week the design team was set the challenge of creating a card featuring resin embellishments.

I have totally fallen in love with these items. Not only are scrapbooking manufacturers creating their own lines of these pretty little additions to go with their paper collections, but there are so many etsy stores and lovely online shops offering resin embellishments in every style, size, and colour you can think of.

Here are some of the ones that have ended up in the design team's stash!

June's Colour Combo Challenge

Hi everyone, it's Nat here!


This week it's the return of our monthly colour dare and I'm sure our UK visitors can guess what colours I've chosen! :)

Yes, in honour of the upcoming festivities going on this weekend to celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee the colours I've chosen are Red, White, and Blue. Well it was hard not to... as they are everywhere at the moment. :)

Here's a gorgeous pic as inspiration showing just how lovely this colour combo can be in various shades and hues:

I would love to see how you interpret these colours. You can use them as your main colour palette or as accent colours, but all three must appear on your card.

Feast your eyes on what the design team came up with this week:
