Hello!
Last week’s card cake recipe was yummy.
This week let’s combine
Something old and something new
Use something old and something new on your card. Or maybe old material and a new technique etc.
…and if you are in the mood you can add something borrowed and something blue too. Or just make a wedding card ?.
Here are some ideas from the design team to inspire you and give you some ideas for your crafting time:

Hello! Happy Friday
Thank you so much for joining in with Joanne's Circles challenge last week, we hope you've stopped spinning by now! It's Kathy here today and I promise my challenge isn't as complicated as it seems at first! Really, its just a list of things I'd like you to use when you make your card.
A Cardmaker's Cake Recipe!
If you made a cake you would use eggs, sugar, butter and flour
My challenge is a twist or 'play on words' of those ingredients; I've just substituted crafty elements for butter, sugar etc.

Hello card makers, thank you for joining us in our April inspiration challenge last week!
Joanne here this week and I’d like to see
circles
You might use circles as a design element, frame a focal point with a circle, stamp an object that contains circles (bikes have wheels, clock faces, dream catchers etc).
Here’s some circular inspiration from the design team:

Good morning Lovely Crafters
Thank you so much for joining in and using Miri's beautiful moodboard to inspire your crafting last week.
It's Kathy here today, and I've been thinking about all the crafts we have in our armoury. I'm pretty sure that most of us dabble in many different crafts!
Hands up if you also crochet, paint, do woodworking, Cake decorating, pottery... or just maybe you sew?
Just Sew!
I can't remember actually learning to sew - its just something I could always do! So this week I thought I'd ask you to add some kind of stitching to your cards.
It doesn't have ..read more

Hello crafters, Joanne here. Thanks for sharing yummy cake with us last week!
For this week’s challenge, I’m making a song and dance about things: make a card inspired by music and/or dance. Any kind of music, any kind of dance — serenade us or break out the boogie, however the mood takes you!
