So, let's see the inspiration from the team for this week!

Enrica - Hi everyone! For my Halloween project this week I made a fun lollipop card. I made a paper rosette, fussy cut the precoloured Witch Broomstick Halloween Gnome printable clipart and layered all the pieces; words are from the Halloween Trick or Treat printable Word Art. I added a few black dots, a spiderweb from my stash and a black lace. Easy and fast to make, hope you like it!

Jenn B - Halloween is my FAVORITE holiday - I make Halloween cards all year long! For this one, I used papers from the Halloween Trick or Treat Paper Pack. The sentiment is from the Spooky Sentiments set. I printed out Cute Little Witch Boo Halloween, coloured her with Copics and fussy cut her. I die cut the sentiment and a coordinating piece of the DP and attached Boo with foam dimensional tape. I added some die cut bats, a spider, and a spider web.

Revati - Hello crafty friends! When someone recently asked me if I could create a clean and simple card for Halloween, I couldn’t resist taking up the challenge! I decided to go with a fun and festive design using the Spider Web Halloween Gnome Digital Stamp. Since the image was pre-coloured, I printed it out and added a touch of extra depth with my Prisma color pencils, giving it just the right amount of shading and dimension. For the sentiment, I paired it with the Halloween Trick or Treat Printable Word Art, which worked perfectly for the theme. To tie it all together, I scattered a few tiny “BOO” words from the same digital stamp around my cheerful gnome, creating a playful touch. The background came together with the Halloween Trick or Treat Printable Papers, which added just the right balance without overpowering the focal point. And of course, no card is complete without a little sparkle—so I sprinkled on some sequins to finish off this cute and simple Halloween card! For more details, visit my Blog!

Sana - Welcome to a new week of Blog Challenge. This time it was my favourite theme Halloween. So this time I thought I would make a candy box for Halloween, the corners are open so you can insert a long candy and gift it to someone. The pumpkin digi is from one of my fav digi trick or treat words, soo many to choose from. The size is around 5x4 – it’s really up to you what size you want to make though. The paper background is also from Halloween Trick or Treat Digi Papers. Have fun with this week’s challenge!

Judy - Halloween is coming, so my inspiration project for this week is a spooky Halloween card. I used the Cordelia Witch Halloween Digital Stamp, coloured with Prismacolor pencils and then carefully fussy cut for extra dimension. For the background, I added some stencilling on black glitter cardstock using the Starry Nights Stencil with white ink. The spooky looking tree was cut with a die from my stash, and I finished it off with some gems to decorate the branches. The sentiment is from the Boo Halloween Sentiment Bundle – such a fab set for quick and easy Halloween card makes!

So, let's see the inspiration from the team for this week!

We are welcoming Rosanna to the team this week - we know you will love her creativity and gorgeous projects - welcome Rosanna!

Rosanna - Hello everyone, I'm Rosanna and I'm a new member of this wonderful DT that I admire so much. You are all so talented and I wanted to share my first project with this group of talented artists. I used the Matilda Witch Halloween digital stamp. I coloured the background with black Distress Oxide and a cloud-shaped stencil. The little witch is coloured with Copic alcohol markers. Then, I added grass in the background, silver threads, cobwebs, bats, stars and... anything else your imagination suggests to create a monstrous and sweet card, just like the face of this little witch who goes out with her bag, as all elegant witches do 😊

Rachael - Hi everyone! I'm back this week with another card using the new Pretty Flower dies - I just can't get enough of them they're so lovely. This one is called Pretty Blossoms - snap these up they are so versatile, I'll be using this as Christmas flowers this year too!

Julie- Birthday was our Design Team theme, and I decided to stray away from the traditional cute little animals and go with some hard core reality using an image from The Old Bags collection. This “Embarrassing Moment” pairs up perfectly with sentiments from the collection. The background features a “rip & tear” technique with pattern papers from Painting & Decorating Bundle combined with a little gold splatter, an embossing folder and a pretty bow. This is what 50 looks like - it really is… Happy Crafting! My Blog, Instagram, Facebook

Taty - Hi everyone, today I'm sharing my new DT inspiration. I created a greeting card featuring the Baked You A Cake stamp, colored with Prismacolor pencils. Here are the pencil numbers: dress 1009-1008-934, hair 944-937-1031, bows 1038, cake 989-289. For the background, I used white cardstock, embossed it with a flower-themed folder, and then applied gold paste to the raised flowers. On the left side of the card, I added a pink border, and in the bottom corner, I embellished it with sprigs and small flowers, keeping the same colors as the dress. I wish you lots of creativity.

Terri- Hello lovely crafters, Terri here with a spooky, Halloween themed Birthday card! This card would be perfect for any fans of cutesy Halloween vibes, or who has a birthday close to Halloween.

I made the cauldron shaped card by using a 6.5 ish inch circular die and a 7 inch top folding card blank. I adhered the die to the card blank so it was hanging over the edge and had about 1-1.5 inches of the top of the card that wouldn’t be cut. I marked out carefully where the 3 cauldron legs and the bottom of the cauldron would be (by lightly tracing the circle die and sketching the legs until I was happy with them) in pencil, then placed that end outside of the cutting sandwich so it wouldn’t get cut.

When my shaped card was cut, I carefully trimmed around the drawing of the legs and the bottom of the cauldron, on the front of the card, traced through that onto the back of the card and then trimmed that.

I created 3 more cauldron shapes using the circle die and tracing around the bottom portion, using thick white card - 2 for the top, adhered together (which would stand up as it is an easel card) and one for the inside, which I colourised to look like the inside of the cauldron, using Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn Distress Oxides and Lightning Black Brilliance Dew Drop ink around the edges.

I also freehand sketched an opening for the top of the cauldron. Once I was happy with it I traced over it carefully with an archival ink pen. I then drew around the outside of this and later glued one behind the other with the cauldron front sandwiched in between. I decorated the front of the cauldron using Tsukineko Brilliance Metallic Dew drop ink pads in Lightning Black, Cosmic Copper, galaxy gold and platinum planet. I used some finger dauber sponges to make rounded swipes of colour to create the illusion of a rounded cauldron and blending brushes for the rest of the ink blending. I also used very tiny brushes for the inks on the cauldron lids. Later I used the sentiment as a stopper to hold the front of the easel card in place. I used a small sentiment die and stamped, then heat embossed the sentiment on one of the die cuts and cut about 4-5 more to adhere underneath to give it the required height. I also colourised the edges with leftover inks from the finger daubers.

The star of the show is the Pumpkin Witch Gnome digital stamp. I created a scene with some Halloween Polkadoodles stamp sets from my stash (which are all on sale), so it looked like the Gnome Witch was hosting a Halloween party. The sentiment is from Monster Messages, the pumpkins are from Pick of the Patch, the Cat is from Boneshakin Halloween, the Cute Ghost and mug are from the Fang-tastic stamp set, the small eyeball is from Freaky Little Monsters and the large eyeball, spider and monster are from Funky Little Monsters.

I coloured the images using Copics and used the following blends/parts of the blend for the majority of the images. Dress: BV04, BV02, BV00; Pumpkins & hair (+YR21): E09, YR18, YR14, YR12; Cloak: G99, G94, G82, YG03; Potion: G99, YG45, YG07, YG03, YG01.

This card was soo much fun to make! And to think that just a few years ago I wasn’t a fan of Halloween! I hope you enjoy this make as much as I enjoyed creating it. Happy Crafting and see you soon with more crafty inspiration! Terri xx

So, let's see the inspiration from the team for this week!


Enrica - Hi crafty friends! This week the DT was asked to create a project with a given color palette and I made a card-in-a-box using two of the cute images from the Autumn Fall Freddy Fox digital stamps bundle, patterned papers and sentiments are from the same set. I personally love autumn colors, what about you? Crafty hugs, Enrica


Jenn B - I had so much fun making this card - I created my background by blending Distress Oxide Inks on watercolor paper and then ink smooshing it. I flicked some Walnut Spray Stain on the brown/orange piece. I printed out Gil Bunny Rabbit Carrot Picking, die cut with a stitched edge rectangle and colored with Copics. I used a little postage stamp frame die for the carrot. Sentiment is from the Winnie Celebrations 1 Sentiments. I finished it off with gemstone stickers.


Revati - Hello crafty friends! This fall, I’m reaching for some of my favorite warm browns to capture the cozy seasonal vibes. For today’s card, I used the pre-colored birthday cake focal point from the Flower Birthday Celebration Cake Digi Stamp and enhanced it with a touch of subtle shading, letting the rich browns remain the star of the design. To balance the warmth, I paired it with a thoughtful sentiment that ties everything together beautifully. For a touch of contrast, I chose a soft light blue background from the Spring to Easter Paper Pad. The combination not only highlights the focal point but also symbolizes that lovely transition from bright summer days to the cozy charm of fall.


Judy - This week's inspiration project is a card created using autumn colours. I used Nom Nom Bee Buzzy Gnome as my focal. This cute digi was coloured with Prismacolor Pencils and fussy cut. The background is comprised of two patterned papers: Bee Buzzy Polka Dots Printable Paper and Bee Buzzy Honeycomb Printable Papers. I finished the design with one of the sentiments from Bee Buzzy Message/Sentiments/Quotes Printables.


Sana - This time the DT got to have fun with colors. we where given the theme Autumn with this beautiful color pallete. Over here i have used the gorgeous digi deal set Mr Sox the fox downloads.
This cute digi blew up my mind. And the paper backgrounds are just gorgeous. The great thing was the color pallete we where given matched the exact colors of the paper background so i made this cute little mini album. I shaded the flaps with distress inks with floral stencil by Tim holtz. The size if this cutzy album is around 3x2.5in. Remember to participate in the challenge of this week grab the gorgeous digi deal now to have fun. Check out my social media for more details.
