Cheer Someone Up | Daring Cardmakers Challenge

This week over on the Daring Cardmakers blog, Miri is challenging us to come up with a card project to brighten someone’s day.

Well, I thought bright pretty colours were the way to go:

Card | Handmade by Natty | The Stamp Market Color Block Die

Stamp: Flora & Fauna – Everyday Word Party
Dies: The Stamp Market – Color Block 1, The Stamp Market – Vintage Slides

It took some time to cut out the Color Block die 8 times from assorted AC cardstock (Tropical and Bright packs now at least 10 years old) and twice from white cardstock, but finally it was time to get the background assembled with the aid of liquid glue and I just needed to find a fitting sentiment and way to display it.

So back to my Flora & Fauna Everyday Word Party stamps for the perfect wording.

I used the Vintage Slides dies from The Stamp Market to frame it (and cut those from white cardstock several times to add a pop of dimension).

Before stamping the sentiment, I watered down a little Minty Fresh ink to watercolour the inside of the frame.

And as a finishing touch a little heart sticker and that lovely Avery Elle twine. I wish I could get it in red because this twine is fab to work with. It really holds its shape and ties nicely. 😀

That’s it for this week – make sure you check out the wonderful projects from the rest of the Design Team here! I hope you can play along. 😀

Happy crafting!

Thanks for your lovely comment, Donna, it’s a great set and I hope you enjoy making many cups of cocoa…

Great card! I recently purchased this die set so your card caught my eye. Wish I could create with those…

I definitely have! Although I’ve now run out of projects to share until I’m back at my craft desk again.…

Thank you so much Joanne!, it wouldn’t be Christmas without a bit of pink. 🙂

About my project supply lists

I only use and share products that I genuinely love. The product supply lists that accompany my projects are simply intended to provide a visual overview of what I’ve used in case you have the same items at home or would like to add them to your own shopping list.
In my supply lists, I link to several stores in the UK and US and am an affiliate member of Scrapbook.com, The Greetery, Concord & 9th, Altenew, Spellbinders US and UK, and Amazon UK. This means that when you click on an affiliate link and go on to make a purchase, I will receive a small percentage at no cost to you. Money raised through affiliate links will go straight towards my crafting fund, which includes hosting this blog.
Please note that any products marked “(r)” are retired and may no longer be available for sale online.
Following the transition of my old blog, Kool Kitty Musings, to Handmade by Natty, the supply lists in those posts may have missing images and out of date links. There is no easy fix for this, I’m afraid – but you can still see which stores stocked the items in question at the time of posting.
I also list the stores I regularly use and have affiliate links for here.
