Make It Shake!

Happy Friday!

It's Shabneez here today and first a huge thanks to all of you that joined in with Nat's leaf themed challenge!  

This week I would love to see:

An element that moves on your card!

Think wobblers, penny sliders, shaker cards or any other moving parts!

We'd love to see what you come up with and here is some inspiration from the rest of 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:

On or At the Ball

 

Happy Friday!

It's Kathy here today and first up we'd like to say a big thanks to those of you that joined in with the challenge last week

I'm soooo not a football fan but here in the UK you can't get away from knowing that (unfortunately😞) the football season has started! So this week I'd like you to work with the phrase

 On or At the Ball

However, you don't have to make a football themed card!
Believe it or not, there are actually other ball games you might feature, or you could add a beach ball, or throwing a ball for a doggy friend
OR how about a different kind of ball altogether?
Meat balls, gumballs, high ball glass, disco ball - you could even create a fabulous ball gown, or a 'Strictly' style ballroom extravaganza!

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

September Elemental Inspiration

 Good Morning!

Welcome to the Daring Cardmakers blog

It's Kathy here this time and on behalf of the DT wanted to say thank you to those who joined in with the Butterflies and Bees challenge last week - we so loved seeing your beautiful cards!

  September Elemental Inspiration

As it's the first Friday in the month it's time for an elemental challenge.

The too-short days and cold weather last way too long for my liking so I can't let go of Summer yet!  There's a hint of Autumnal shades in my mood board, but I think it still has a Summery feel - to join in just choose a minimum of three elements to inspire your card. If you choose the colour palette that would count as one element!


For instance, the layout, squares and rectangles, wood texture, flower arrangement, vase/containers, drinks, mosaic, fruit, wheels...

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