DCD - Pink, red and heart

This is a sad day :(

Not only is it Monday, it's the last challenge for Die Cut Dreams. I've been on the design team since October 2009 so of course it is sad to put the challenge blog to rest but life has a tendency to go on :).
And I got a new DT spot with Totally Tilda so the sum of my pains is constant, hehe.


Well, let's go out with a bang, shall we? Make sure you enter this last challenge and make it the best ever! The theme is Pink, Red and Heart.

I made a tag from a chipboard heart, a Magnolia image and lots and lots of roses. To make it differ from the blue heart I posted a few days ago I added the paper lace. Very girly :)

DCD - sympathy

Time for a new challenge at Die Cut Dreams and the theme is Sympathy.

I used a Tilda image and coloured it sparsely so that the whole card would be white and cream.

DCD - WoW

The title could indicate that I have disconnected from World of Warcraft, but it doesn't =). It's the new challenge at Die Cut Dreams where the theme is White on White.

Other challenges:

Sir Stampalot - monochromatic

DCD - calendar page

This challenge at Die Cut Dreams will last for 4 weeks so you have plenty of time to create something fabulous whilst wrapping presents and making Christmas cookies =).

We want you to create a calendar page for either January 2012 or the entire 2012. I chose January and worked with a Hanglar image.

DCD - Thank you with circles

Oh dear,
this post totally slipped away. I should have posted this morning but at least it's still Monday =).

Anyway, grats to all the winners of the DCD blog hop and now on to this fortnight's challenge which is Thank you with lots of circles.

We got some gorgeous sentiments from Sentiments4You and this is what I came up with:


The prize for one lucky challenge winner this time is:

DCD - recipe for a blog hop!

Hello everyone!

Monday again and that means time for another new challenge at Die Cut Dreams.

Now this fortnight is a bit special for us here at Die Cut Dreams because not only do we have our beloved Boss Lady Susie Sugar back with us after her house move, the Die Cut Dreams shop has re-opened and the Challenge blog has also surpassed 700 followers - how cool is that??

So to celebrate we are having a BLOG HOP.

You should have arrived here from Debs blog but if not please go back to the Challenge blog and start from there.

So in order to qualify for the main prize which is:

"A Pizza Box full of Mixed Theme & Mixed Shape Die cut Dreams Designer Die cuts worth over £25 !!!"

you will need to stop by each of the Design Team members blogs and leave a comment on their challenge creation. As an added bonus some of the Design Team are also offering Candy on their blogs but you won't know which blogs the candy is on until after the Hop when we announce the winners.

So onto the challenge

The recipe for this challenge is 2 brads, 3 gems, 4 flowers

And here is my project:

Remember to leave me a comment before you go just in case I have candy on my blog.

Don't forget you have several choices; you can enter the challenge, do the hop and leave a comment on each DT member's blog in which case you could win several times or you could just do the hop, it's up to you.

From here you will need to go to the talented Chris's blog.

Have fun on the hop which lasts for the next two weeks along with the current challenge.

Winners will be announced on the Die Cut Dreams blog when we post the next challenge.



DCD - So charming

The challenge at Die Cut Dreams this fortnight is:

SO CHARMING!

(Use a charm(s) on your project)

And here is my project:

DCD - use a poem

It's time for another challenge at Die Cut Dreams and we want you to use a poem.

I took out my distressers and Tim Holtz dies and used a quote from Martin Luther (German priest and scholar who lived in the early 1500s) that says:

“Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree.”

DCD - colour combo

This fortnight at Die Cut Dreams we want you to use brown, pink and cream on your projects. I know it's a favourite combo for lots of crafters, me included =).

The Sarah Kay images are like made for these colours so I used this little cutie and then I punched - alot =). I like the fact that you can fold in the flaps on the MS punches and then punch again inside the frame. The front sentiment can be found here. DP from Pion design.



And it's also my last week as guest designer for Countryscrap and the napkin fold card goes in pretty much the same colours =) but the DP is Melissa Frances 5th Avenue.

Other challenges:

Sweet stampin - Anything goes

DCD - flower power

This fortnight at Die Cut Dreams the challenge is Flower Power which means you must use at least five flowers. I decorated a small tin can using paper from Melissa Frances, lace from Panduro, a die cut key from Magnolia and some ribbon I found in the drawer. It's rather small so it's good for keeping pills or vitamins in. The last picture is the can in it's original state - hidious isn't it =).

DCD - gift box or bag

Making boxes is something I really enjoy so making a DT contribution to Die Cut Dreams this fortnight was sheer pleasure (not that it's unpleasant other weeks but... you know what I mean) cause the theme is make a gift box or bag.

I really like the Kenny K-image and it worked so well with the softness of the box. Can't wait to see all your boxes and bags cause I'm always on the lookout for foldings and inspiration.

DCD - pink, green, coffee

First day back at work after the summer holiday... no further comments necessary I guess...

But to brighten my day there's a new challenge at Die Cut Dreams and the theme is the combination pink, green and coffee.

This is my contribution - the birthday card I gave my elder daughter.

DCD - Holiday fun

This fortnight at Die Cut Dreams the theme is Holiday fun.

I used a LotV image and some TH designer papers. The flowers were made using ordinary white paper that I put glue on and sprinkled some sand over. Same with the diecut sentiment. Rather neat effect =)

Other challenges:

Sir Stampalot - whatever you fancy

DCD - Animal antics

Morning,
this is my contribution to this fortnights challenge at Die Cut Dreams where the theme is Animal antics. If you're joining in, please remember that the animals must have four legs (so sorry, no butterflies hehe).

I found this image in my image box, coloured and all, so I figured I'd just use it and finish a card, can't have too many Christmas cards anyway =). The little circle sentiment is from Lynne, isn't it just adorable.


Other challenges:

Stamptacular Sunday - Animal antics

DCD - recipe

Today my baby turns 20 (gosh, I feel so old)!
And today it's time for another challenge at Die Cut Dreams and this time with a recipe: 3 shapes, 2 colours, 1 ribbon. I altered a tissue box and tried to keep it rather clean and simple. I bought the tissue boxes in a pair so maybe I'll go crazy and really bling the other one up =)

DCD - red, white, blue

Morning,
summer holiday has started for us poor teachers now =). So I'm celebrating by posting my DT contribution to this fortnight's challenge at Die Cut Dreams. It's the colour combination red, white and blue. Image is one of the gorgeous stamps from Bildmålarna.

DCD - 3 flowers, 3 stamps and a bow

Morning,
June 6 is the National Day of Sweden so no work today =).

At Die Cut Dreams we have a new challenge for you and this time it's a recipe: 3 flowers, 3 stamps and a bow. I went very girly this time with pretty princess papers and lots of Magnolia stamps.


And it also fits the first Official Magnolia inspiration Challenge - birthday theme

DCD - sketch

Morning all,
I'm back from Holland and it was amazing!!

But back to business now =). It's time for another challenge at Die Cut Dreams and Dawn has a lovely sketch for you to follow.

I turned the sketch a quarter of a lap and made this box card using paper from Melissa Francis and a magnolia image.

DCD - Princess birthday

Morning and welcome to another fortnightly challenge at Die Cut Dreams. The theme is Princess birthday and I used this Magnolia image to create a card for a little sweetheart that had her birthday recently.


Also my mother has her birthday today and my mother-in-law tomorrow, busy times =)

Other challenges for this card:

Top Tip Tuesday - open challenge

Papertake Weekly - anything goes

Just Magnolia - anything goes
