Have a prickly summer

Thank you for showing us your beautiful wedding-related cards. They were quite different in colours and styles and gave us a lot of new inspiration.

This week it’s me, Miri, bringing you a new challenge and I would love to see a cactus or several cacti on your card!

cactus/cacti

Cacti always remind me of summer, sunshine, deserts and holidays… and I just can’t wait for our summer holidays to begin and for the sunshine and heat to come back again.

Luckily cacti are a huge trend at the moment and you can find them on many stamps and patterned papers. So let’s have a good look at them and get in a summery mood.

Happy crafting!

And here you can see some beautiful cards from our design team members.

Cut It Up

Hello everyone.

Its Dawn here with this weeks challenge.

A big thank you to everyone that took part it last weeks Mid Summer challenge. It was lovely to see all your summer inspired creations.

For my challenge I would like to see you use up your beautiful designer papers.

Cut It Up

I know we all like to save our lovely pretty papers but I want you to make them the main focus. Your could simply use a lovely big piece and just add a greeting, cut out lots of pieces and make a pattern or just use elements from the papers to make a topper for your card.

Here is what the design team came up with.

Midsummer's Day

Hi everyone!

It's Nat here.

First of all thank you to everyone who joined in with last week's "Come Fly With Me" dare - there were some lovely cards made for that theme.

Midsummer's Day

This week I'd like to see your cards in celebration of Midsummer's day - the longest day of the year here in the northern hemisphere and sometimes one of the prettiest summer sunsets to boot...

There are so many summer themes to choose from, but you will get extra gold stars if you make a card inspired by Shakespeare's play, A Midsummer Night's Dream. :D

Here are some of the fab ideas the design team came up with:

Come, fly with me...

Happy Friday, crafters!

First of all a big "thank you" to everyone who let themselves be inspired by last week's elemental inspiration challenge. Wasn't it a great way to start into a new month of creativity?

It's Svenja here with a new challenge for you:

Come, fly with me!

I'd like to see all kinds of things that fly on your cards: birds, bees, planes, kites, superheroes... whatever comes to mind.

And of course the Design Team members have already taken to the skies to inspire you:
