Let's see what the Design Team have created to get you inspired this week!...

Jenn B - I instantly fell in love with the Udderly Cute Cows Love & Friendship Big Kahuna Collection when it was released and I knew I wanted to make my mom a Mother's Day card with one of these sweet images! Udderly Cute Cows Love and Friendship Bundle. For my card, I used the adorable Hearts and Flowers. I colored with Copics, fussy cut, and attached with foam dimensional tape.

I layered the purple paper behind the wood grain paper and die cut a large heart from the wood grain paper. Papers are from the Printable Paper pack 5 and the Flower Meadow papers. I added a sentiment from the Spring Flower Mothers Day digital stamp.

Mary - It’s sunny out, so I decided we needed to make a fun Easter Card. Firstly, we print out our lovely Honeypie Spring Lambs. If you head to my YouTube channel you'll find a video for this make. You can either fussy cut them out or use a cutting machine because the SVG & DXF files are included. Also, you will need some Easter Sentiments, some fun spring-like papers, so I used some from Bee Buzzy and from the Winnie Sugar Sprinkles Paper Heaven 4 and Paper Heaven 5. I also needed some Embellies and Winnie Sugar Sprinkles Blooms to decorate the card and more is more! To make: take a piece of heavy pretty card stock 10” x 5 (or 12” x 6”) for your base. You will score along the long side at 2.5” and 5” (3” and 6”). Make sure everything is nice and even when you use your bone folder. On the 5” x 5” (6” x 6”) piece that is left, mark at 2.5” (3”) on all four sides. Score from the 1st 2.5” (3”) fold to the 2.5” (3”) mark on the opposite side in the square. Do the same on the opposite side. Cut from the top mark to either side 2.5” (3”) mark to make the top of your diamond. Look at the video for more detailed instructions. Now use your other papers, embellishments and blooms to decorate your pop up diamond card! Happy Easter!

Judy - My project for this week is a Mother's Day card created with the Holly Flower Basket Download. I colored her with Castle Arts Pasteltint Pencils. She is fussy cut and popped onto a layered, die cut oval. The background papers are fromWinnie Daisy Fairy Paper Patterns 2. I printed the sentiment from Spring Flower Mother's Day Friends Greetings Sentiments Printable. It was die cut with an oval die and matted.A ribbon, bow and some gems were added to complete my card design.

Enrica - What's the best way to celebrate mom? Whether it's her birthday or her special day, I think flowers are always a great option. For my project this week I made three tags using a few stunning floral craft printable digital stamp bundle: Alcea Hollyhock Flowers, Perfect Peony and Watercolour Flower Stem. For two of them I used the pre-colored images whilst for the third I chose the b/w version and colored it with Copic. Could you guess which one? I don't know about you but I would be very happy to receive one of them!

Revati - I created a sweet and heartfelt Mother’s Day card using the beautiful Fantasy Moon Digi Stamp. I chose this particular color combination because it reminds me so much of my mom — she absolutely adores pretty florals. I printed the image onto a white cardstock panel and added the Happy Mother’s Day sentiment from the Mother’s Day Messages digi stamp set. To complement the floral tones, I matted the panel onto purple cardstock that coordinates perfectly with the lovely lavender patterned paper from the Lilac Haze Flowers Bundle Digi Paper Pad collection. You can find more details about this card over on my blog.

Sana - For this weeks blog post theme the team got to work for mothers day And I thought this gorgeous tulip flower girl would look soo delicate and gorgeous for this theme. I chose the pre coloured digi this time. Fussy cut the image and stuck it on a embossed paper back ground with Tim Holtz lace embossing folder. The printed paper is from Polkadoodles as well. I did some simple mixed media effect with the card. Wrote the mothers day myself. And here you have the simplist and fastest card. A really delicate card for Mothers Day.

Let's see what the Design Team have created to get you inspired this week!...

Kim D - Hello everyone! it's Kim with this adorable Winnie Easter Bunny card! I printed her on this Country road Colouring page scene which is also available and colored it up to make a fun Easter Card. Think of the possibilities with this background scene, you could add all kinds of images!

Julie - This super cute Easter card started with an embossed backdrop, nothing in particular, just use anything that makes you hoppy! The center stage for the card uses a piece of cloud printable paper from Pretty Spring Paper, cut at 4 1/8 x 2 7/8. Use a random die cut to create a small layer of grass that can be added to the bottom edge with foam tape. Tuck a fence or any little scene builder pieces you may have in your stash in behind the grass border. Cut a 1 inch x 4 1/8 piece of the dotted paper in the Pretty Spring Paper pack —cut it with pretty much any border die (or none at all) leaving about 1/2 inch sticking out glue this piece to the back of the stage layer. Wrap some twine or ribbon where the grass border meets the polka dot print and tie a bow. Print and color the Cute Bunny image, and possibly a few extra eggs. The ones from this card were cut from another Easter image. Add the Bunny image using foam tape at the top of the image and liquid glue toward the bottom to keep the bunny sitting even on the layer. Add the additional eggs. Using foam tape attach all of this to the front of the embossed layer and add a to a card base. Lastly, chose a sentiment from Easter Greetings, attach to the desired space on the card front, and add a few gems or sequins for a little added sparkle. My Blog, Instagram, Facebook

Maria - Easter is just around the corner. At last, pastel colours, cute designs and playful card shapes are back on the crafting table. I created an accordion card and really let loose with the Spring Flowers set. It includes everything we need for spring: sweet animals, Easter eggs, flowers and so much more.

I coloured the images with Polychromos pencils (nos. 113, 128, 129, 132, 166, 171, 180, 186, 189, 230, 270) and added highlights using a Gelly Roll pen. I´m a sucker for doodling borders, and hello! With the Flower Fun Borders set I don’t have to draw them by hand anymore – I can simply stamp my borders straight onto the card. Love it! Here's my social media, would love you to give you a followback!:

Mary - Hello! I wanted to show you how to make a quick card when you get bundles that have design sheets in them. First, I grabbed a cute floral paper from the bundle (printed on 8.5 x 11). Next, I folded the paper in half the long way (5.5in mark) and scored it. I folded the front portion of the paper in half also (2.75in) and scored it. Cut off about 2in (which will make the card 6in tall). You can then place this piece on your base card, but make sure you have you design facing outward or use double sided paper (you can print the paper design on both sides). You will glue to the very back and front portion of the card base. Now, you can decorate the card any way you like. I used the Winnie picture to decorate the front of the card, including the band. I cut florals and eggs to place around the card for extra depth and dimension. I cut out the paper piece with the envelope to place in the back of the card, like an inside sentiment. I used the floral band on the design sheet to decorate the band that is inside the card. I placed glittery eggs, bunnies, and chicks around the card. These came from my stash to add a little sparkle to the card! Quick, easy, and adorable!

Taty - Ready for a new challenge? For my DT inspiration, I created an Easter greeting tag. For the tag structure I used the beautiful pink checked and green striped digital patterns from the collection, Coffee Tea and Cake paper patterns bundle which I printed on 200g cardstock and cut with a die. I used the image Bunny Rabbit with Spring Carrots that I colored with Prismacolor pencils, whose numbers I’m sharing with you: carrots 1002-118-1033, green 912-109, flower 1001-1033, eggs 915-102-928-1014-929, pink 1014-929, gray 1059-1060-1054.

The phrase entered at the base of the tag is part of the collection Winnie Celebrations 1 sentiments. I hope I have inspired you with this lovely idea for wrapping up your little Easter gifts.

Let's see what the Design Team have created to get you inspired this week!...

Liz - It's my Sons Fiancee's Birthday today, she loves a handmade card and layers so I created this using some of the gorgeous chipboard, papers, Polkadots and flower dies from Polkadoodles,

I love this Daisy Daisy paper pack which is the base of my design, the chipboards are so lightweight they are fabulous used in cards as well as mixed media,

I love to create flowers from die cuts, and love to see how many different looks you can get from them,

The Celebrate die adds another little layer too, though I will admit it's been covered with the flower a bit, lol. Here's what else I used on this make:

• Love and kisses stamps • Pretty Flowers 1 dies • Flower flourish dies • Pretty frames and quotes chipboard •

Jenn B - I really enjoyed making this adorable little wallet! It was definitely a challenge for me, but a fun one! I printed out Bunny Rabbit Blank Greeting Card from Polkadoodles, colored with Copics and fussy cut. I used digi papers from Polkadoodles, die cutting a deckled edge circle from one of them to attach the bunny to with foam dimensional tape. I added a die cut heart and the "Spring Wishes" sentiment from the Spring Flower Mother's Day Friends sentiment pack. I used this tutorial on YouTube to help me with the dimensions for the wallet. I was super pleased with the finished product and will definitely be making more of these - I envision one for each of my 3 granddaughters!

Judy - My inspiration project for this week is a Spring themed card. I am using Gill Bunny Rabbit Growing Sunflowers Digi as my focal. He is colored with Prismacolor Pencils and fussy cut. I adhered to white cardstock. A border at the top of the card uses one of the papers from Pretty Spring Printable Papers.The sentiment was printed and die cut with an oval die. I added handcut banners to complete my card design.

Revati - I created a DIY wallet that’s perfect for gifting a gift card. To form the pocket, I printed a fun floral pattern on one side of heavyweight cardstock and a coordinating solid shade on the back, both from the Bee Buzzy Flowers and Plains Paper collection. The pocket itself features a simple center slit to neatly hold the gift card. For the front accents, I printed an adorable Easter bunny from the Bunny Rabbit with Easter Egg Digi Stamp and paired it with a “Happy Easter” sentiment from the Easter Greetings Digi Stamp set. I colored the bunny with my alcohol markers and added a bit of visual interest by die cutting it with a scalloped die. A soft touch of yellow ink blending on the tag ties everything together and complements the colors of the pocket beautifully. You can find more details and full measurements over on my blog.

Sana- Today is a new day for blog posting and this time the DT was given the theme to make a wallet which can hold a gift using a Rabbit. So I chose this 3 cute little bunnies digi set. It comes with the paper backgrounds as well. I die cut the Rabbits with the doily die i had in my stash. The zig zag dies at the background which are giving the framed look are also from my older stash of dies. The wallet size is 7x5. I stuck the bottom frame flat and the top one with 3D foam to make it look dimensional. The doily Rabbits was also stuck with 3D foam. A little bit of thread at the corner and a lace die as well. For the inside i decided to tear off the papers in half and make it as half torn pockets so you can insert some money or a gift voucher. The small tag is the senti which comes in the digi as well. So overall the paper background and bunnies are from the same bundle. It is such a cute digi set I loved making this giftable wallet. It also has a magnetic closure. Dont forget to join in the fun this week.

Enrica - Hi crafty friends! I'm so happy to share with you my new inspiration project.This week the DT was asked to make a wallet and the requirement was to use a rabbit. I decided for the sweet Love You Cart Loads and the Bunnita Shopping digital stamp for the tag/gift on the insidePatterned papers are from the DIGI DEALS - Dahlia Flower 1 and the DIGI DEALS - Bella Bear Morning Coffee. In case you had any doubts... yes, I'm addicted to pink. It's a color I adore and it makes me feel good. And you? What color would you have done it in?

🌟 Gorgeous Inspiration, big thanks to the team! 🌟
