Fun and GAMES!


Thanks to all of you that joined with us last week


it's Rein here this week, my dare is called
Fun and Games
I'd like you to make a card which also has a little extra element of fun :
*It could include a game for the recipient to play
*Or you could put moving things on your card such as flapping wings or wheels that really work
*Or it can bee an advent calendar card with doors and windows  to open...

The team have had a lot of fun with this one and we hope our ideas will inspire you to join in - we're looking forward to seeing what you make.

Time to have some fun!

Twinkle Twinkle

Yes another week has whizzed by and that means it is time for a new dare!

After the refreshing change of non Christmas cards last week, I decided to make this week's dare one where you can be seasonal if you wish, but no pressure if you don't - or have already finished making the cards for this year. (swot!)

So it is pretty simple really - the theme is
Twinkle, twinkle!
and you are challenged to make a card that features at least one star.

The Design Team, along with our talented Guest Miri, have created card magic once again (with a star shaped wand of course). Have a look at these celestial beauties!

Colour Challenge November

Hello everyone! 
It's Zuzana here with this week's challenge.

First I want to say 'Thank You' to all of you who joined in Kathy's 'Let There be Light' dare last week.
Your cards were really beautiful.
Next, as this is the first challenge of the SEVENTH year of Daring Cardmakers Dares, can we also say a big Thank You to each and every one of you who've joined in with us over all these years - and of course, another Thank You to all the Guest Designers and Design Team members who've given such great inspiration since DCM started out. 
 It's been so much fun, and we hope it will continue to be so for quite a while yet!
Happy Birthday to Us!

 If you ever check out the links of those who play along with us over the weeks, you'll often see
Mirjam's
 name listed among them, so it's especially fab to welcome her as our 
brand new Guest Designer
We're thrilled that Miri has kindly agreed to spend the next couple of months playing along with us and we're sure you'll enjoy seeing her creations on our blog.
 
And now.....
As Halloween is past, along with all the nice autumnal colours and winter is running toward us
I decided to mix more of a bright palette for this month's colour combo

November Colour Challenge.

Here is my colour palette :
