Wheely good fun!

 Hello Cardmakers, thanks for joining us last week with your furry friends!

It’s Joanne here this week and I’d like to see something with wheels on your project — cars, scooters, motorbikes, camper vans, bicycles, buses, penny farthings, wheelchairs... loads of things have wheels! Let us see how you roll this week.

Here’s some inspiration from the team:

Furry Pet Friends

 Hello everyone and happy Friday!

Welcome to our Daring Cardmarkers blog.

Its Rizwana here with this weeks challenge but first I'd like to thank everyone who took part in last weeks October Elemental Challenge. It was lovely to see all the autumnal creations.
This weeks challenge is all about pets and it's called:

Furry Pet Friends

Create a card with your favourite pet if you have one or if would like to have one in the future.
Show us your two or four legged pets. Do you have more than one type of pet? Let’s celebrate our furry friends by adding photos to your cards too.

Here is some inspiration from our Design Team.

October Elemental Inspiration

Happy Friday everyone!

It's Nat here bringing you a brand-new challenge for a brand-new month!

Before we get to the elemental inspiration image for October, we'd just like to thank those who played along with last week's Shaker-themed challenge from Shabneez. 

As always, it's great to see what you make inspired by our dares!

If you've been wanting to get your autumnal crafting into gear, or just fancy featuring some autumnal elements on a card for any occasion, then this challenge is for you.

The image I've chosen for us to work with features plenty of those:

All you need to do is pick three elements to use on your card (and remember, colours count as one combined element).

To get you started, here are some ideas from the Design Team:

Leafy Lushness

Happy Friday all!

It's Nat here with a brand new challenge for you just in time for the weekend.

But before I share the details, we'd like to thank everyone who played along with Kathy's ball-themed challenge last week!

~~~

With autumn in the air, there are leaves aplenty to inspire us. 

This week I'd like you to: 

Make leaves the prominent feature of your card - in all their lushness!

There are so many possibilities - whether rich autumnal shades, something a little festive, or creatively using leaf dies or stamps to create a seasonal wreath.

Whatever leaves you go with, we look forward to seeing your creations!

Here are some ideas from the design team to get you started:
