Word Play

Thank you for playing along and joining us In the Nick of Time for last week's challenge!

Word Play

It's Joanne here this week. As we wave farewell to February, let’s use the month for inspiration in a different way. Make a FEB card!

Use something beginning with each of those letters in your creation.

So it might be a foiled elephant juggling a ball, a blue fairy with an embossed background, a baby card with flags and embroidery thread…

what can you come up with that’s FEB?

Don’t forget to tell us which items you’ve used in case we don’t spot them!

Joanne (Frame (and Flowers), Embossing folder (and Enamel Accents) Bee)

Dawn (Feet, Embossing, Blue (and Beak!))

Miri (Flowers, Elephant, Balloon (and Baby card!)

My Sweet Valentine

Hello everyone and welcome to the weekly challenge from the Daring Cardmakers.

Its Dawn here with this weeks challenge but first I would like to say a big thank you for everyone that joined in last week for the elemental inspiration challenge. It was lovely to see how the mood board inspired you.

February Elemental Inspiration Challenge

Hello Lovely Cardmakers

Thank you so much to everyone who joined in and shared such fabulous cards for Nat's 'In the Frame' challenge last week. It was so lovely to see your creations

This week we welcome in the new month with Enfys's beautiful mood-board

February Elemental Challenge

I've chosen a leafy mood-board with cool greens and aquas, warmed up with pink red and yellow. But its not just about colours, check out all the little details on the image and you're sure to find the minimum 3 elements you need to use when you make your card.

As usual if you use the colour combo it counts as 1 element

Here are some ideas from our team to start you off

In the Frame

Good morning cardmakers!

Thank you to everyone who played along with Kathy's "Think of a Number" dare last week!

It's Nat here, ready to set my first dare for 2022!

I want you to feature a frame on your card.

You can use it to spotlight a sentiment or image, or you can go the whole hog with a large frame that showcases your entire card design.

It's totally up to you!

To help get your creative cogs turning, here are the lovely projects the design team has made:

Think of a Number

Hello Lovely Cardmakers!

Thanks for joining in with Enfys's lovely balloons challenge last week - its funny how watching a balloon floating up in the sky is always a cheery sight/ I wonder why that is...

Anyway its me, Kathy here today with a new challenge for you

Think of a Number

I'd like you to make one or more numerals the stars of your card in some way this time.

It could be for one of those 'special number' birthdays or anniversaries. using a background formed from numbers or perhaps you could even make a number shaped card.

Here are some ideas from our fabulous creative team
