Heart in Stitches

Hello everyone,


The dare at Daring Cardmakers this week is to feature stitching on your cards as a real eye-catching element...
So many ways to incorporate stitching on your cards...like sewing a simple stitch...or something fancy with your sewing machine...then there are all the awesome stitching-themed dies and stamps...

I went with this 49 & Market line-stitch stamp...
I loved this stamp set as soon as I laid my eyes on it...and bought it soon after...but did not get a chance to use it...
So when I saw the challenge this week...I knew this is what I was gonna use...and also that I was gonna use the entire stamp set :D
I was excited to use this stamp with my new MISTI...it really is an awesome tool...especially for someone as impatient and careless as me... ;)

Punch Cutout Pattern

Hello everyone,

Its Friday which means its time for a new challenge at Daring Cardmakers...
The challenge this week is "New"
With start of the new year try something new...a new technique, a new fold, a new colour combination...the options are endless....

I tried something really different...I made a pattern using cut-outs of some punched negatives...
Sounds complex...doesn't it...hehehe

I had a sheet or two of white cardstock with snowflakes punched out of them...which I used to make this and this card...

Then a few days ago, I got this idea to cut hexagon shapes around the punched negatives...

My favourite part was making the pattern...it was solving a puzzle...and I love puzzles and patterns...

Snowflake Wreath

Hello everyone,

A HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone :D

Daring Cardmakers is back after a short break and this week we have a beautiful winter-themed inspiration photo for you...

The elements I picked are the wreath, the green leaves and the word Snow...

Snowflake

Hello,

I was supposed to post this on Friday...but forgot to publish it in all the excitement to attend a college friend's wedding...hehehe...
So here comes a delayed post...

The dare at Daring Cardmakers this week is "Decorate It!"

You could make something to decorate your home; a table decoration, a banner or some Bunting, a Christmas Cracker or similar, maybe something to hang on the tree or how about a topper to make a gift look extra special and festive.  

I made a 3-dimensional Snowflake...

Silver & White

Hello crafters,

We have a very very beautiful picture for elemental inspiration at Daring Cardmakers this week...
The silver and white look just magical together...

The elements I chose from this picture were the colours, the snowflakes and the Christmas theme

I made a card inspired by a snow globe...

It was very hard to capture the silver base in the photo... 

The base is actually a mirror like silver...it looks ethereal in real life ;)
