Round and Round - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

Well now, would you believe it's taken me 2 days to make this card?  I was shocked too!  The mojo had gone walk abouts and to be fair with the boys last week at home and Eid, I was out and about a lot too.

The Daring Cardmakers have a round theme this week and here is my card.  I do love a circular card.

I used one of the new Love to Craft paper pads from DRK Crafts and an old but gold Sizzix alphabet set.  There are some dies and stamps that no matter how old they get they still get a great deal of use.

You can see what my fellow DT members have made and join in HERE.

Have a lovely weekend and see you again next week,

April Elemental Challenge - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

It's the last Friday of the month of Ramadhan (fasting) for us and next week we will celebrate Eid.  I'll go and see my Mum and also pay a visit to the cemetery to see my Dad.  I've missed him a lot this month.

As it's the first Friday of the month it is the elemental challenge over on the Daring Cardmakers.  

This card was a commission and it has been one of my favourites this year.  It was made using a very old collection from Dovecraft.  It's also a new fancy fold for me and I used a new sentiment set.

This is the image from which you need to take any 3 elements - colours count as 1.  I used the lips, the slats and the blurry background parts for my card.

You can see lots more inspiration from the rest of the Design Team and a link to join in HERE.

See you again soon,

Remember When We Danced Memory Book - Tonic Studios Launch

Happy Wednesday!

Tonic Studios has been celebrating all this week with March Madness - new showcase products and offers every day.  Today it is the turn of their latest Memory Book - Remember When We Danced.

My affiliate links at no cost to you, with thanks:

UK and Europe HERE

USA HERE

This is an extra special memory book set as it is a very good size and has a box with it which is great if you want to gift it or simply to keep your precious memories safe.

I have decorated this project with the new paper pads which have come out this week - the 8" x 8" is called Shabby Meadows and the 12" x 12" is Whimsy Meadows.

This is the memory book which shows off the papers really well.

I'm only sharing a couple of pages from the memory book as I feel it will be too many photos otherwise but I have a reel on instagram with a walk through of the entire album.

Tonic Studios have offers on all this week as you can see below:

See you again soon,

Oh So Square - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

I hope you have had a good week.  It's great to see the sun out and the temperature being warmer.  Having said that it does mean I need to make a start in the garden and at least mow the lawn!

It's my turn to set the challenge on the Daring Cardmakers this week and I have chosen a square theme.  As many as you can manage on a card!

I've used the brand new Eastern Delights paper pad from DRK crafts for my card and used squares of the different papers to showcase it.  I also added gems for a little bling.  I love how it has come together.

You can see more inspiration and a link to join in HERE.

I hope you have a lovely weekend and see you next week!

Jam Pot Gift Card - Tonic Studios Craft Kit Launch

Happy Wednesday!

The excitement has been building since I got the Craft Kit for this month as I really enjoyed creating with it.  As ever, my affiliate links are here with thanks:

UK and Europe - HERE

USA - HERE

For my first card I used the Jam Jar die set, as intended, as a gift card holder!  You simply pull the lid and the gift card is exposed.  There are many dies in the Kit which work so well together.

 

For my second creation I decided to do something totally different using the dies from the Kit.   I made a cute milkshake shaker card using the Embellishment mousse to create the textured background and adding stamped strawberries.

This really is such a fun Kit and one I am sure to use again.  You can see all the contents of the Kit on my instagram reel.

See you again soon,

Spring Is In The Air - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

It's been a hectic few days with the start of Ramadhan, the Islamic month of fasting.  I am really looking forward to the Easter holidays as it'll make things a lot easier having us all home.

The Daring Cardmakers has a Spring themed challenge this week as it is certainly in the air.  Having said that, I put my washing out yesterday as the sun was out and half an hour later it began raining!  Rain wasn't forecast until 6pm.

I used an older collection from Katy Sue Designs for my card as it's so pretty and has various florals and butterflies on it depicting Spring.

You can see what the rest of the Design Team have done HERE and hopefully join in.

See you next week!

Just Sew - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

It's turned out to be a productive week after a lull in activity at the beginning.  I managed to get deadlines met and Mother's Day orders completed too!

The Daring Cardmakers have a sewing themed challenge this week and I had the most perfect papers for this one!  DRK Crafts have got a new range of paper pads and I used the ' Cute as a Button' one for this card.  

The card style is called a fractured card and one I have been seeing on my Facebook feed so decided to give it a go.  It works so well to show off papers and use up scraps too.

The sentiment is from a new Tonic Studios set called Creative Pastimes and has some very useful sentiments on it.

You can see what the rest of the DT have done HERE and I hope you'll join in.
