No scissors, please!


Thanks for taking part in last week’s challenge. We enjoyed having a look at your doodles and were reminded how versatile this technique can be.


This week its my turn (Miri), and I didn’t pick a specific topic or technique for you. 
I only dare you to follow one simple “rule”:


No scissors, please!
Decorate a card blank without using scissors or a paper cutter/guillotine. However, you may use your die cutting machine to add labels/shapes etc.



This is a perfect opportunity to use stamps, washi tape, ready-made embellishments etc.

So, go and hide your scissors … and start crafting!

Here's how the team rose to this week's challenge.

June Colours

Hello, Kathy here this week and the first thing I need to do is say a  big Thank You to all who joined in with Zuzana's "Wish Upon a Star" challenge and shared such gorgeous cards with us.


As it's the first dare of the month I have a Colour Challenge for you. Now my favourite colours at them moment are all those beautiful pastels - especially aquas and peachy shades, but  I've tried to step away from those this time.  It wasn't easy!  I found so many beautiful photos with those pastel palettes that choosing something a bit different was challenge in itself!
In the end though I found this lovely palette of mauve, black and neutral shade which I think is beautifully understated and elegant. 
Inspiration Daily
I hope you'll enjoy using this colour palette - I'm looking forward to seeing what you make.  Here are some cards from our fab design team to help get you into the mood
