Guest Designer on Daring Card Makers

I couldn't believe it when I was approached to be a Guest Designer for Daring Card Makers. DCM is THE original challenge blog and the ideas are always interesting and challenging. I've been doing the dares off and on for just over two years. You can see my very first dare HERE


This week's dare is 'Folding- up' and I've chosen to make a Joy Fold Card. I made one before using Kathy's tutorial on Bubbly Scrumptious and really enjoyed making it.

This card is to give to my son and his fiancee as they got engaged last week. I used Dream Street 'Simply Stated' papers which were part of a Bubbly Funk Kit and I only have a few bits and pieces left.

I was really pleased to be able to use the couple and put their names on the characters and the little date element to mark the date that DS1 proposed (everybody say ahhhh). The chippie heart was painted by acrylic paint and then sprayed with Red Velvet Glimmer mists.

Bubbly Scrumptious - Birthday Book

My DS1 can never remember any family birthdays and I'm fed up having to remind him, so I decided to make him a birthday book like the one that Kathy made on Bubbly Scrumptious blog using the Simply Stated papers that were in the Bubbly Funk Kit.

I had a bit of difficulty with my BIA as I haven't tried to make a book that needed more than one punch and I just couldn't get it to line up. I spoke to Karen in chat later and she has offered to give me a phone tutorial - hee hee, I think I need it. Thanks Karen :-D
