Christmas in June

Aha! my turn to set the dare this week and I decided to go all festive and set a nice Christmas themed dare (yup I know 'tis only June...)



Basic Grey Sultry, Cuttlebug embossing, Doodles, Hobbycraft ribbon, Printed '{Proper Chrimbo}' sentiment.

and this was my little extra this week - using the theme of wood...



Wood effect paper, Doodlebug card and flowers, printed sentiment.

and finally, a card made with Doodley Dillon...



The doodles are not mine - but I do know the person that made them.... :) Scenic Route Papers, Doodlebug ric rac and brad.

Just a quick one!

Bondgirl's dare this week....

I want you to make a QUICK CARD! a card that takes you no more than hmm say 30 minutes max to do - start to finish. No set ingredients and pick your own theme, but be quick and be crafty!


Mine took..... 10 mins on PS and 10 mins for adding of bling so a grand total of 20 minutes :)
I used Peppermint Creative male, female and heart images, Pink Petticoat papers and lots of bling!

Happy Bird-day!

A commissioned card that fits in rather nicely with Clare's challenge to make a card using something new - I used Bazzill Just the Edge cardstock for the scallops which is new to me, Doodlebug paper with added doodling a la Lythan, a Doodleydoo birdie, Rebekah's Birthday font, MM rub ons, Prima flowers and a from the range.

Wheely Interesting

Kathy's dare this week...

So, on to this week and for my dare I'd like you to make cards with
wheels
....no, not actually made with wheels, you can still use card and paper ;-), so you don't need to go and steal the ones from the car or the kids' bikes and write a message on them!
I'd like you to feature wheels ON your cards, or as part of them. So you could have cars, bikes etc on your card, or maybe you could actually make a card that moves along on some wheels..... or how about a card that has one of those "wheels" inside it (fixed with a brad) and little apertures in the actual card front so that when you move the wheel the message appears in the aperture? (I hope that makes sense?)
Anyway, I'm sure you can get your creative cogs moving and come up with loads of inventive and different ways to get a wheel or two into your cards.

I used a colour wheel :)

FLourish stamp is from Peppermint Creative, Primas. brads and faux stitching.

There is a fab challenge on the go over at CBC asking for something fake on a card...

Both have 'faux' stitching and the Skully Love Bones are made from fake chipboard...



Dino from here MM + Doodlebug rub ons, Queen and Co brads, and of course faux stitching...



Faux chipboard skulls are my own design die, Doodlebug and KI Memories papers, Primas, printed sentiment, faux stitching...
