Make a card using chipboard on your card front! Have your designs linked to us in the comments section of this post by October 1st. We'll upload your creations into the Chipboard Gallery along with the DT's cards.

I used paper from my Bitty scrap pads by Provo craft Heritage post, I covered a piece of chip board with patterned paper, and cut the 2 hearts out with my sizzix die cutter, folded my A5 brown leather look card in half then wrapped the pattern paper round the front and back and glued it in place. Then cut another piece of the brown card and matted the planer paper to that, I got some silver elastic with beads and sequins on and wrapped this round my hearts then added them to the card mat with foam pads and stuck this to the front of the card, then cut a smaller pieces of card matted the planer paper to it added happy birthday and stuck that to the bottom of the card . Aw just noticed the silver bits on the card are picking up the colours around them.

Arty Girlz challenge #1

The Arty Girlz challenge blog new Tuesday challenge is stamping, where you can make what ever you like as long as it involves stamping.

This is what i made a Honeycomb Tag book which was make using money envelopes (the kind you put the kids diner money in)

I cut the flaps off 4 of the envelopes, then glued them together with the fronts facing each other this is where the honeycomb bit comes into play you glue in an oval from top to bottom so the side's are not stuck together. see pic 2.

Then i cut 2 piece of card the same size as the envelopes but a tiny bit longer the font and back stamped my design on them and inked the edges in brown.(these are the front and back covers), then i glued them to the front and back of the envelopes, then a strip i cut of pattern paper to wrap around the spine inked edges and glued this in place.

For the tags i cut brown card to size (to fit inside the envelopes) and sniped the corners for the tag shape added ribbon on the ends with a stapler, and cut a thin strip of the pattern paper inked the edge with brown ink and added this to the ends and stamped the flower with brown ink

Daring card makers challenge

This is for the challenge over on DCM this is what the challenge was.



"This week I dare you to use a Word as the main focal point to your card. It can be a name, a greeting or just a word that inspires you. You can use other text but only one word as a main embellishment. So dig out your dictionaries, die cutters, alphabet stamps, rubons or download a funky font and show us what you can do! The design team have come up with some fabulous creations to inspire you".



Here's my attempt (I'm still trying to get over my fear of making cards LOL)
I used a pattern paper no idea what it is , stamped the word LOVE and cut it out, cut a couple of flowers out from the PP paper layered them up with foam pads to add a bit of 3D, cut out the tiny dragon fly and bent the wings for a 3d effect, inked round the edges of the paper flowers etc in black and stuck everything down.

This is what they had to say: Make a micro mini card where your card front measures no bigger than a standard ATC -- 2.5" x 3.5". Deadline for creations is Midnight on Sunday. Post a link to your minis in the comments section of this post.

I used Basic Grey paper. I cut a thin panel and attached to the left hand side, cut a larger panel which was wide enough to slightly over lap the thinner one, printed off a transparency of a butterfly and attached it to the larger panel then added foam pads to the back and stuck it to the right hand side of the card also inked all the edges in brown. Then added a transparent Best wishes sticker.
