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.
Hugs from the AYLI girls.

Last Minute Manda

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

Your Favourite Monochrome or Colour (& 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: Pipsqueak Coffee Flowers by Last Minute Manda

I do like to stick to just a couple of colours in my cards, but I can never seem to restrict myself to just one by using different shades and depth for variety.  I prefer to co-ordinate a few colours through into embellishments or, in this case, pulling a the dark purple from the image through into the cardstock matting layer.

Elaine

Today I have made a monochrome card. I usually decide when I am sitting with my selected stash what I will make. This card is for a friend who does not like too much fuss. 

Larissa

I don’t often make monochrome cards, although they can look really beautiful. I just love using colour and creating lovely colour combinations.

Lynne

Definitely colour for me. I just struggle with ideas for monochrome cards and if it's for a child I think colourful is best. 

Sarah

It's colour for me. I have Promarkers in all the colours of the rainbow, and some and enjoy colouring my projects with them.

Wilma

I like monochrome cards but I do not make them often. A while ago I made this background in pink (not my colour :)) and in blue and in green. But I didn't knew what to do with it at that time. Now I finished it with a greeting and some butterflies. I love the outcome and colour!

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.

Lawn Fawn

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

Your Favourite Masculine or Feminine (& 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 find masculine cards challenging (I like adding flowers and pretty papers too much!) so for me it's an easy choice of feminine.  I've teamed this cute watercoloured teddy bear with pretty springtime papers for a craft loving friend.  

Brenda

**coming soon**

Elaine

I have chosen masculine for this challenge because it makes me think a little bit harder on the theme and colour choices. 

Larissa

I really enjoy making cute cards or cards with flowers, which are more suited to girls and/or women than to men. So, I prefer making my cards for women. I just find it much easier to create something for a woman than for a man.

Lynne

It's feminine for me. I'm fine with children's boy cards, but adult males I always struggle for inspiration and, if I do make one, I'm normally not very happy with it.

Sarah

It's feminine all the way for me. I have so many pretty papers, stamps, digitals and frilly stuff that the fellas don't get a look in!!

Wilma

Lately I love to make masculine cards. I used to have trouble with those cards but these days it is getting easier. Gentlemen's cards don't need as many embellishments as female cards. 

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.
