So let's see what the team have made to inspire us this week!

Jenn - We are celebrating Independence Day/4th of July here in the United States today! I had fun creating my card with the papers from the Gnome Men Football USA paper pack and the adorable USA/4th of July Lil Miss Sugarpops! I colored her with Copics and a white gel pen and used a nesting square die to cut her out. I layered several bunting dies and a banner die for the sentiment. I added lots of bling in the form of rhinestone stickers in red, white (clear), and blue! I hope you all have a happy & safe weekend!

Enrica - Today is a day of great celebrations in the United States and this cute paper rosette is dedicated to all our American crafter friends. I printed the sweet Lil Miss Sugarpops on a patterned paper from the USA 4th July Celebration digital bundle, colored her with Copic and added a few embellishments from the same set.

Renske - For this 4th of July card, I created a festive shaker card featuring the USA / 4th July / Flag digi stamp. I coloured this fun girl with alcohol markers. I used a red, white, and blue striped background from the "Gnome Men Football USA" digital patterned paper set. I made a white frame to be in front of the shaker. I added some stars in the corners of the patterned paper. For the shaker I used a mix of red and blue stars and a lot of glitter. To finish the card, I added the sentiment "Have a super special day" from the Winnie Celebrations 2 set. I hope you like this fun and festive shaker card. Happy Crafting.

Revati - Happy 4th of July, crafty friends! Today I’m sharing a festive patriotic card that is perfect for the upcoming celebrations. To create this look, I featured the adorable Lil Miss Sugarpops - Miss USA 4th July Digi stamp holding her flag proudly. I paired her with a vibrant, coordinating stars and stripes background from the Gnome Men Football paper collection. After printing these digital goodies onto heavy-weight cardstock, I layered everything together and finished it off with a perfect Let's Celebrate sentiment from the Winnie Celebrations digi stamp. It was such a blast to put together! For more details, visit my blog. I Would love it if you could follow me on social media:

So let's see what the team have made to inspire us this week! 

Monika- Hello crafters! I hope you will my project this week using Layered flowers, delicate foliage, soft pastel colours and gorgeous dimension come together to create a project bursting with elegance. Watch the full step-by-step tutorial here:






Maria - Summer is finally here! It brings so much inspiration for bright, colourful projects – and the adorable frogs from the Toadal Sweetheart and Unfrogettable 4 x 4" Clear Stamp Sets are absolutely perfect for this season. I die-cut rectangles and a frame, then placed the cute motifs – which I coloured with Stampin’ Blends – in between. I mounted everything onto a watercolour background, so it looks just like the frogs are sitting by a picturesque little lake.
Here's my socialmedia:
Instagram, Facebook, YouTube


Liz - I'm loving the latest Create and decorate mdf blanks no.1 set, so this time I used a traditional type shape tag for my project, as you know I love tags, The bases are fabulous for so many mixed media looks, I combined stamping with stencils and some of the butter frosting on the base, simply adding paint splats to finish off the look, as yes she's a messy crafter, lol
The Just Create Weirdre stamp is coloured with my Copics then fussy cut out, as is one of the matching text stamps from the set. Matching in with the image, I used some stamps from the Be your original self stamp set on the base too,
I've added a scrapbook ring on my tag as it can be used as a cover for a art journal by simply adding some pages to match the size etc to create an art journal tag book. I also used the Weird shape stencil and the Alphanumeric stencil with the lovely Stencil Butter frosting - Ocean Sparkles for some dimension and texture.

Robbie- Hello everyone - A pocket full of flowers will brighten anyone's day. I used some pink alcohol markers to color my Alcea Hollyhock Flowers then I fussy cut them out. The sentiment was shrunk down, printed, and then I cut it out. The paper was from the Paper Heaven 3 bundle. I added some lace trim at the top of the pocket. I finished it off with some gold gems.

Taty - Hello! Today I'm sharing my inspiration for the new summer-themed challenge that makes you want to go to the sea. I created a card with a pocket to give away some facial sunscreen products. For the front of the card I used the image of the marine scene Fish Ocean Sea Underwater and the image Winnie Starfish/Sandcastles - Sea Horse that I colored with pencils Prismacolor. I leave you the numbers of the colors of the seahorse: 993-1018-1014-1092-939-1001. The seahorse is glued with the thickness on the seabed and one is applied inside the pocket. For the background I used the distress oxide color rusty hinge for the sand and color broken china and faded jeans for the sea. To finish I added some blue highlights and some drops of Nuvo color aqua plains and I applied the glossy accents to the corals and the seahorse's eye.



Julie - Today I created a card design with a pocket. The pocket holds a pattern paper insert that pulls out to reveal not only the inside greeting but yet another pocket to include a gift card. I chose to decorate my card with embellies from the Winnie Fruit Punch Bundle. I printed flowers and fun summer themed drinks from the emellies pack and layered them onto a die cut circle. I cut a card base at 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, scored at 4 1/4. I cut the front of the card base diagonally and glued the bottom section to the back of the card base. Using pattern paper from Winnie Fruit Punch I cut a piece at 4 x 11 and scored that at 5 1/4. I used a piece of the leftover pattern paper to create a pocket on the inside to hold a gift card for drinks to coordinate with the sentiment from the same bundle that reads "Drinks Are On Me". I love how all of the colors coordinate, I didn't have to color a thing and I have a super cute Birthday Card/gift card holder on hand when I need a card and a gift quickly.

So let's see what the team have made to inspire us this week!

Ana - Hi Crafty friends! The new Fluffy Friends collection from Polkadoodles is finally here, and of course, I couldn’t wait to create with Peaches Cat! As a cat lover, this adorable character immediately stole my heart - because, well… cat! For today’s card, I paired Peaches Cat & Nibbles Mouse with layers of patterned papers and tag elements to create a fun dimensional design. One of my favorite things about this layout is how it turns patterned papers into embellishments, making it easy to add texture and interest without needing lots of extra supplies. The sweet Peaches Cat image is the perfect focal point and works beautifully with a variety of paper collections and embellishments - both from the Fluffy Friends collection and some from your personal stash. Be sure to check out the new Fluffy Friends release from Polkadoodles and discover all the adorable furry friends waiting to be crafted with!

Nelly - I really enjoyed making this card, it’s called a double flap card and it was perfect for the stamps I had in mind for this using this perfect stamp set Beers and Cheers from Polkadoodles which you can find HERE and it’s in the sale!! I coloured them up with watercolour pens. The design papers are called not so Plain Kraft and you can find them by clicking HERE. The scribble heart die can be found HERE and I used the star circle die on the design papers, HERE.

Enrica - Hi everyone! Let's celebrate Father's Day with a simple card made by coloring with Copic the busy Gardening Gnome together with some cute images from the same bundle.
Under the flap is hidden the greetings message. You can find all the printable images, sentiments and patterned papers at https://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/gardening-gnome-for-men-bundle-of-printable-clipart-digital-stamp-digistamp-for-cards-cardmaking-crafting-and-stickers/

Renske - For this Father’s Day card, I wanted to build a rustic pub-style scene. The focal point is the Dad Father Celebration Party Gnome digital stamp, which I coloured with alcohol markers in warm, earthy tones. I paired him with three sentiments from the Gnome Men Sentiment set to complete the design. The interactive beer mug flap is created from light yellow cardstock, traced from a small box and finished with Distress Ink blending in Mustard Seed, Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain.
To complete the scene, I added a wooden background panel made from kraft cardstock and Distress Ink for a worn, rustic finish. Hugs Renske

Revati - Looking for a fun, interactive way to celebrate Father's Day? I created this playful interactive card featuring a surprise flap that lifts to reveal a hidden Father's Day greeting! To bring this scene to life, I started by printing, fussy cutting, and alcohol-marker coloring the adorable Road Trip Car Bee Buzzy Gnome digi stamp from Polkadoodles. I also printed two sentiments from the Gnome Men Greeting Digi stamps set—one to sit perfectly under our driving gnome on the card front, and a second hidden gem for the inside of the flap. For the background, I paired a vibrant green grass paper from the Bee Busy Flower and Plains paper pad with a beautifully textured blue sky paper from the Spring to Easter paper pad. By creating a little grassy hill border for the interactive flap and mirroring a similar hill border hidden inside, this little gnome driving his carriage is ready to deliver the perfect Father’s Day surprise!

Jenn B - I used 2 separate sets combined to make my Father's Day card, the first set is called Dad Father Celebration Party Gnome for Men and the second set is called Dad Father Celebrate Relax Gnome for Men. I printed out my gnome images and colored them with Copics. The beer stein papers are from the Party Gnome set. The Have a Great Day b&w papers are from the Knight & Dragon Little Dudes set. I liked the contrast of the bright colored beer mugs against the black and white paper. This was a fun card to make!
