Dies to Die For

This fortnight's challenge theme is to showcase a project using 

Your Favourite: Cute or Floral (& why).

You MUST explain WHY it is your favourite.

Here are the beautiful creations made by our Design Team to get your mojo flowing:

Annette

I'm definitely a fan of anything cute and I'm not overkeen on purely floral images (the singel flower held by my cute critter is the closest I'll get to floral images!). I do like floral papers though, but in the main my image will usually include some kind of critter!

Brenda

I would usually say cute, but I seem to be doing more floral of late. I think it is because of all the beautiful floral stamps and dies that are currently available.

 

Chrissy

I love cute but my favourite has to be floral, I love the colours

and textures and of course the smell...

Elaine

This is always a difficult choice. I love both. So I have used very cute bunnies and a little patch of flowers. so I am sitting on the fence with this challenge. I think the cuteness of this card gives it the awe factor. 

Larissa

I love both floral and cute cards, or even better a cute animal with a big flower. Today I went for a floral card. I love the simple but elegant look of just the black lines combines with the stenciled background.

Lynne

I tend to make more floral cards nowadays, although I do make cute for children.  I love all the layering dies you can buy nowadays.

Sarah

No contest, it's most definitely cute for me!! Such a plethora of cute stamps and images out there to go with my patterned papers.

Wilma

For me that is floral. I love flowers, their fragrance and colours. I can't wait for the fields with blooming tulips and hyacinths. That's what make me very happy.

It's over to you.

We hope you will join in our challenge and show us your style.

Don't forget, you MUST explain WHY it is your favourite to be eligible to win.

Good luck, and happy crafting.

This fortnight's challenge theme is to showcase a project using 

Your Favourite Fun Fold (& why).

You MUST explain WHY it is your favourite.

Here are the beautiful creations made by our Design Team to get your mojo flowing:

Annette

My (current) favourite fancy fold is technically a fold-flat pop-up cardbase which is really versatile in terms of how you can decorate it. It all slots together and folds flat for easy mailing.

Brenda

This is a fold I saw recently and couldn't wait to use it.  

I like it because it has such texture, yet folds flat for posting.

Chrissy

Now I have learnt this fold, which is easy, I cannot stop making it,

and I will say it is my favourite..

Elaine

These packets are easy to make and are great for filling with goodies for a gift. 

Larissa

**coming soon**

Lynne

The only fun fold I ever make is the Z-fold because it's nice and easy and a little bit different to a normal card.

Sarah

A LOVE trawling You Tube and Pinterest for unusual makes. My current favourite fun fold is a box that stores flat and pops up to be a really sturdy gift box.

Flat...

Fully formed box...amazing!!

Wilma

This one is my new favorite fun fold card. Not to hard to make.

It's over to you.

We hope you will join in our challenge and show us your style.

Don't forget, you MUST explain WHY it is your favourite to be eligible to win.

Good luck, and happy crafting.

Last Minute Manda

This fortnight's challenge theme is to showcase a project using 

Your Favourite: Monochrome or Colourful (& why).

You MUST explain WHY it is your favourite.

Here are the beautiful creations made by our Design Team to get your mojo flowing:

Annette

I do prefer to restrict myself to a small number of colours on my images, rather than a whole rainbow, and I carry those colour themes through as accents on my papers, matting layers and any embelishments.  I've concentrated on Spring lemons with accents in orange and green. I've added a small hint of bronze (to match the bear's fur) in the form of a narrow strip of satin ribbon on the base matt (mainly to cover where I'd joined two smaller pieces of yellow card together beneath the image panel).

Brenda

 

I usually like to do monochrome colours with flowers, but I felt these cute little pigs from our sponsor just had to be done in full colour.  Colours just make it look so fun and happy.

Chrissy

I love to colour cute animals especially on children's cards,

 happy bright colours.

Elaine

I have made 3 mini colourful cards. I love cheerful colours as they can brighten any day. 

Larissa

I love both colourful as monochrome cards. Colourful rainbow cards are so much fun to make, but I also think it really satisfying to use just one colour and try to make something special with it.

Lynne

I do like to see colourful cards rather than monochrome.  They are so much more cheery.

Sarah

I am really trying hard to challenge myself this year and make more male cards. A stamp bought to make a special card for our youngest son cried out for heat embossing so I made a mono card. I have added a touch of colour though!!

Wilma

Colour!  Colours make me happy. Although I really love a white on white card too.

It's over to you.

We hope you will join in our challenge and show us your style.

Don't forget, you MUST explain WHY it is your favourite to be eligible to win.

Good luck, and happy crafting.
