Daring Card Makers Challenge - Shake It!

It's time for a new Daring Cardmakers challenge and the theme this week is

Shake It!

I've made a shaker card with some random tiny gems I had in my stash and some sequins - the plastic front is from an acetate cover that I've recycled and I've used some bottle dies and some freebie papers to create the focal point.


Good luck with the challenge!

Polkadoodle Challenge - Black and White plus a Colour

It's time for a new Polkdoodles challenge and the theme is


Anything Goes

The DT were challenged to use black and white plus a pop of coloured paper.  So I've kept mine really clean and simple (nearly forgot to add the pop of colour!)  I've used the Flower Flourish die set layered on top of the Posydoodles tag die and that has, in turn, been layered onto a Posydoodles Circles die.  The sentiment (Sentimentals 6x6 paper pack) has been cut using the tag die set too and the bow has been made using scraps from the Vintage Candy 6x6 paper pad.  Some half pearls from my stash, and I'm done!


Good luck with the challenge!

Good luck with the challenge!

It's time for a new Daring Cardmakers challenge and the theme this week is

Three of Something

I've gone for three balloons!  I've used a fab die, cut from offcuts of card (and added some die cut stars too!) and cut the sentiment with an alphabet die set and used the negative for a different look.



Just a faux running stitch around the edge of the card and a bit of highlighting on the balloons with a white gel pen.  Good luck with the challenge!

Daring Card Makers Challenge - Three Of Something

It's time for a new Daring Cardmakers challenge and the theme this week is

Three of Something

I've made a fun Birthday card with die cut letters, some dog balloon die cuts and stars all using scrap card that I had in my stash.


The acetate is recycled from some old presentation folders and I use glossy accents to stick them to the reverse of the balloons.  I added highlights to the balloons with a white gel pen.


Pretty quick and simple to make especially not having to worry about having the words in a straight line!

Good luck with the challenge!

Morris Minor Traveller

I keep all offcuts of printed paper because I know that I'll be able to use them up one day - this card is an example of that; not got a clue what or where the papers are from but they were random bits I found so they went together well with the Morris Minor Traveller image from Dr Digi!


Coloured with Promarkers and then added some waxed cord.  Not got a clue what the letters are from but were helpful for the sentiment!

Polkadoodles Challenge - Something Cute

It's time for a new Polkdoodles challenge and the theme is

Anything Goes

The DT were challenged to make something cute with a sentiment and I always need cute cards so used Tons of Wishes elephant and coloured her with Promarkers - the sentiment comes with the stamp and teamed it with papers from Vintage Candy 6x6 pack - the half pearls are to hide the paper joins as I just used strips underneath the main piece!  


Vellum circle has been cut with a Posydoodles Basics Circle die and the sentiment with one of the Posydoodles Basics Tag die.  And I knew that elephant charm I've had in my stash for years would come in handy one day!!  Embroidery thread also from my stash.

I've added various die cuts using card from my stash and I hand wrote the sentiment banners.

Good luck with the challenge!
