Hello!
Last
week’s card cake recipe was yummy.
This
week let’s combine
Something old and something new
Use
something old and something new on your card. Or maybe old material and a new
technique etc.
…and
if you are in the mood you can add something borrowed and something blue too.
Or just make a wedding card 😉.
Here
are some ideas from the design team to inspire you and give you some ideas for
your crafting time:

Hello! Happy Friday
Thank you so much for joining in with Joanne's Circles challenge last week, we hope you've stopped spinning by now! It's Kathy here today and I promise my challenge isn't as complicated as it seems at first! Really, its just a list of things I'd like you to use when you make your card.
A Cardmaker's Cake Recipe!
If you made a cake you would use eggs, sugar, butter and flour
My challenge is a twist or 'play on words' of those ingredients; I've just substituted crafty elements for butter, sugar etc.
Ingredients
Flower(s)
the colour Yellow
Glitter or other 'tiny sprinkly' stuff
Oval shape, a bird, a nest, or something else egg related
You may also add 2 other 'ingredients' of your choice
Method
Mix well and add your own creative magic
It doesn't have to be a cake!
Here's what the team 'cooked up' this week!

Hello card makers, thank you for joining us in our April inspiration challenge last week!
Joanne here this week and I’d like to see
circles
You might use circles as a design element, frame a focal point with a circle, stamp an object that contains circles (bikes have wheels, clock faces, dream catchers etc).
Here’s some circular inspiration from the design team:
