Lili of the Valley

This fortnight's challenge theme is to showcase a project using 

Your Favourite Style - Clean or Fussy (& why).

You MUST explain WHY it is your favourite.

Here are the beautiful creations made by our Design Team to get your mojo flowing:

Annette 

using In The Country by Lili of the Valley Stamps

I do tend to swap between styles, with some of my more feminine cards being festooned with flowers, ribbons, pearls etc, but I also find it satisfying when a beautifully coloured image takes the centre stage.  

Elaine

I prefer not too fussy cards, so I have made a card more CAS. I find it difficult to add too many embellishment without my card looking over dressed.

Larissa

I love making clean cards. I don't like making really bulky cards with lots of embellishments on them. I really love the look of a clean card. 

Lynne

Most of my cards are on the cleaner side nowadays, but when the  oportunity arises for a special birthday I do love to make a fussy one.

Sarah

I love a bit of fussy especially when I can use some of my paper pads!! This one gave me the chance to put an under used die set to work to create lots of colourful layers.

Wilma

Lately I make more clean cards. I love that simplicity has a big impact. It's hard to see in this picture but in the background there are butterflies.

It's over to you.

We hope you will join in our challenge and show us your style.

Don't forget, you MUST explain WHY it is your favourite to be eligible to win.

Good luck, and happy crafting.
Hugs from the AYLI girls.

Lee Holland Digis 

This fortnight's challenge theme is to showcase a project using 

Your Favourite Cute or Floral (& why).

You MUST explain WHY it is your favourite.

Here are the beautiful creations made by our Design Team to get your mojo flowing:

Annette

I'm definitely a fan of the cute cards, particularly cute animals, both in my crafting and in real life.  The only florals I tend to use are on my papers and embellishments to create colour and texture.  Some of my favourite critters are the images by Lee Holland Digis, in particular his woodland creatures.  I cut the floral cardbase shape using my Silhouette.

Elaine

I use both cute and floral. This is a floral card made for a friend who loves her flowers, especially daisies. 

Larissa

**coming soon**

Lynne

I certainly make a lot more floral cards than cute ones so it must be floral. I love all flowers and they are suitable for any female cards.

Sarah

Cute for me, I just cannot resist a cute stamp, whether it be a cute animal, girl or character. I have used multiple cute stamps on this set of Easter cards.

Wilma

Definitely floral. I love flowers: the colours and the scent! one of my favorite florals are hydrangea's and especially the bleu/purple ones. My big sister also loves hydrangea's so I made this card for her birthday. 

It's over to you.

We hope you will join in our challenge and show us your style.

Don't forget, you MUST explain WHY it is your favourite to be eligible to win.

Good luck, and happy crafting.

Rachelle Anne Miller

This fortnight's challenge theme is to showcase a project using 

Your Favourite Fun Fold (& why).

You MUST explain WHY it is your favourite.

Here are the beautiful creations made by our Design Team to get your mojo flowing:

Annette

using Birthday Mouse by RAM Stamps

I love this easel card prop because I can decorate it to co-ordinate with the card and it all still folds flat for posting, almost like a pop-up card. 

Elaine

I made these fun folded packets to hold a small treat. They were for the care workers at my In-Laws residential home as a thankyou. They are simple to make and look attractive.

 

Larissa

I don't make fun folds cards very often, but I had a lot of fun making this one. so I definitely should do it more often. During the making of this card a couple of things went wrong. so my card is not the same as the card that I saw, but I really love the look of it.

Lynne

I don't make many fun folds, but when I do it is usually an easier one such as this z-fold.  I don't have the patience for more complicated ones.

Sarah

I do love a fun fold, especially if it's for a special occasion and can be hand delivered. This one is such a card and although impressive to look at was very easy to make!!

Wilma

Every now and then I like to make a more complicated card. It doesn't have to be very elaborate but definitely something different than the rectangular or square card. And it also depends on the person I'm making the card/project for.

It's over to you.

We hope you will join in our challenge and show us your style.

Don't forget, you MUST explain WHY it is your favourite to be eligible to win.

Good luck, and happy crafting.
