Butterflies & Bees

I love to see the butterflies and bees busy around the garden!

So let’s celebrate the bees and the butterflies we’ve seen over the summer.
Use one or the other or both on your cards this week!

Here is some inspiration from our designers to start you thinking!

Lucky Numbers

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 House and Home challenge. This weeks challenge is all about numbers and it's called:

Lucky Numbers

This weeks challenge is nice and simple!
Just create a card with one or more numbers on it!
Maybe for a special occasion like a birthday or an anniversary.
A Little 'Un about to start school, or perhaps a 'Well Done' for someone who's just passed their maths exam!

Take a look at some design team inspiration!

House and Home

Hello, Happy Friday!

 Welcome to the, Daring Cardmakers! 

Thank you so much for joining in with our Summer Lovin' challenge last week, we hope it made you feel all warm and happy!.

 House and Home

Just use the phrase to inspire your crafting this week!  
Perhaps a house, bungalow, apartment....igloo?
An animal's home - nest, hutch, den?
You could make a New Home card.  
Or go inside & feature a room, or something usually found indoors
such as a sofa, desk television, food mixer....

Wherever the phrase "House and Home" takes you, we'd love to see!

Summer Lovin’

Hello, Happy Friday!

 Welcome, Daring Cardmakers card makers! Thank you so much for joining in with Shabneez's beautiful mood board challenge last week.

It's Kathy here today hoping you're up for a new challenge:

Summer Lovin’

Do your thoughts turn to love, hearts, kisses & lovey-dovey things in Summer? Having needed two Wedding Anniversary cards last month my crafting has been full of hearts and kisses and ‘lovey-dovey’ things! 

But there's so much to love about Summer - lovely long (hopefully) sunny days, barbeques and picnics or long lazy lunches in the garden of your favourite pub!There are trips to the beach or lakeside and other favourite places to go, or if you're lucky packing your bags and heading off on holiday. 

Or seeing your garden in full bloom, and maybe enjoying the fruit and vegetables you've grown all by yourself!So, let’s celebrate Summer Love this week - for the people and things we care the most for - or all the things you love about a glorious Summer day.

We can't wait to see what you make!
