wk 7: Baubles, Boxes and Bows

Hello and Welcome to The Daring Cardmakers
Thank you for sharing your "Trim the Tree" projects with us. They were a veritable forest of fabulous ideas!
We're now at the final challenge of our

"Have Yourself a Crafty Little Christmas"

series for 2021

wk 7: Baubles, Boxes and Bows

Three things beginning with B - you can choose one of them or all three to feature when you make your project this week!
Maybe make a bauble to put in a box and decorate with a bow!
Remember it doesn't have to be Christmas themed, and it can be a card or anything else you're inspired to get crafty and make.

We'll leave this challenge open until we return on 7th January 2022 after our Christmas break, but before we go we'd like to thank you for joining in with us all year, and to wish you a

Very Happy and Peaceful Christmas

however you spend the season

Well this week we'd love to see some trees on your projects, please!

They can be any kind of tree you like, a Christmas Tree, a Wonderful Winter Landscape or maybe some shady palm trees if you're in warmer climes!

December Elemental Inspiration

Hello and Welcome to The Daring Cardmakers blog

Thank you for sharing your wonderful 'Stockings' projects with us. It was such fun to see what you made!

"Have Yourself a Crafty Little Christmas"

For all our challenges up till Christmas we invite you to share anything you make on the themes we give - so, not just cards but boxes, bags, tags, labels and decorations. Whatever you make we want to see your creativity

And of course, your makes don't even have to be Christmassy - we'd love you to use our themes in whatever way you like

So, we made it to December then and it's time for

wk 5: December Elemental Challenge

Our December mood board is all about the excitement of getting ready for Christmas. The house needs decorating and the gifts need wrapping so there's holly and stars, wrapping paper and twine, baubles and candy canes... and loads more goodies to choose from.

Just pick any 3 elements or more from from the picture below (the colour palette counts as one) to use when you make your card
