A Bit of Bling

Happy Friday!

Thanks to those of you that joined in with the fabulous Alphabet Soup challenge last week.  

It's Shabneez here and I love a bit of bling on a card so now’s your chance to get out those shimmer pastes, glitter glues, mirri card and those glorious gems!

Lots of inspiration from the rest of the Design Team below:

Alphabet Soup

Hi everyone!

 

it's Nat here with a brand new dare for you!

Thanks to everyone who played along with the Fun and Games of Joanne's challenge last week.

 

I hope you'll find this week just as fun!

Alphabet Soup

I don't know about you, but I have a slight problem when it comes to alphabet dies and stamps... I love the look of them, I buy them, but I rarely take the time to use them for anything other than personalising the odd card here and there.

So this week I'm challenging myself and you to grab those alphabet stamps or dies and use them to create the sentiment* for your card!

* Hint, short words could be your friend, especially for the upcoming festive season!

 

Here's how the design team got on:

Fun and Games

Hello cardmakers,

Thanks to those who joined in with the October Elemental Inspiration challenge!

It's Joanne here this week. 

I'd like to challenge you to a game of something!

 It might be an indoor one (like Kerplunk, Twister, Snakes and Ladders, Dungeons and Dragons...) or outdoor (football, netball, rugby, hockey...). The best part? You get to be creative, somebody receives a lovely handmade card — nobody loses this game!

Here's some inspiration from the design team.

October Elemental Inspiration

 Hello Cardmakers, thanks for joining our weaving challenge last week, we hope you enjoyed it and we loved seeing your cards. 

As it’s the first Friday of a brand new month, today’s challenge is “elemental” — just choose at least three elements from the picture to kick start your card. 

October Elemental Inspiration Challenge 

Shabneez here to host this week and my mood board has an eclectic mix of elements! 

How about using the layout as one element? Or the geometric shapes? Then there are the colours, a blue sky, flowers, grass, a tortoise, turtle or other animal or the  lovely colours, pattern or texture of that beautiful shell

Pick at least 3 elements from this image to interpret on your card (remember colours count collectively as one element) and enjoy some crafty time!

Under and Over, repeat...

 Hello Crafters, and Happy Friday!

 

Thank you to those who celebrated Autumn with Dawn's challenge last week, it may herald the coming of chilly, dark Winter, but the colours of Autumn are stunning, aren't they?

 

This time it's me, Kathy here with a challenge for you:

 

Under and Over, repeat...
 

This one is all about weaving! 

You could do some actual weaving with paper strips or yarn... 

or use a stamp or embossing folder with a woven patters... 

or add some woven fabric...

There are lots of possibilities and I can't wait to see what you will make!

 

Here are the ideas the team have come up with to help get you thinking

Always Autumn/Forever Fall

Hello everyone!

Its Dawn here with this weeks challenge but first I would like to thank everyone that joined in last week with the "Take a Break" theme from Miri.

I love this time of year as the season changes and all the months that end in "BER".  The colours are just beautiful and I love to get all cosy at home.  So this week I would like to see your cosy autumn inspired projects.

Always Autumn/Forever Fall

We can't wait to see what you create and happy crafting.

Take a break!

 

Thanks for your collage cards!

It’s Miri here and I have a new topic for you:

Take a break!

I guess that most of us are back to everyday life after summer. And now let's not forget to take breaks regularly. Show us on your card what "taking a break" means for you: a cup of tea/coffee, a nap, a walk in nature, taking a sun bath, crafting etc.

Here is some inspiration from the design team:
