August Technique Challenge

For my last challenge as host, I thought I'd choose a fun technique for us to play with.

I usually make flat Christmas cards, they're easier to post and for the recipient to display with lots of others.

But sometimes you want something a bit special - this is the week for those!

So I'd like to see pop up or cube cards.

If you've not made pop up or cube cards before, there are loads of instructions online. While there are people out there who are tremendously talented and make the most amazing 3D artworks in their cards, it can also be a very simple mechanism. As always, it's how you choose to decorate the card that makes it special!

Our guest designer this weeks is:

Susan B - Cardmaker's Garret

Here is some inspiration from the Design Team:

August Theme Challenge

The month is just flying by isn't it?

It's time for our theme challenge already.

I've chosen what I hope will be a popular theme this month - using script on your card.

I love the vintage look that script can give, although it can feature in modern and elegant cards too - I look forward to seeing how you interpret this one.

August Colour Challenge

Lucinda back again with our August colour challenge.

It's always hard to narrow down the option for colours, there are so many gorgeous options!

This time, I've gone for something that's quite simple on the face of it, although with many permutations.

As we have two neutrals in the selection, I'm going to be strict with this one - no other neutrals apart from black and white to be used, so just three colours in total! Different shades of colour are fine.
