Ana - Hi crafty friends! Today I’m sharing another fun card featuring the adorable Pickles from Polkadoodles’ new Fluffy Friends collection. If you’ve seen my previous Fluffy Friends projects, you probably already know how much I’ve been enjoying creating layered cards with these cute pattern papers. I love mixing different prints together to create fun and playful backgrounds, and since I’m definitely not a minimalist crafter, more layers always make me happy! Hehe!
For this card, I used several pattern papers from the collection to build a layered background, adding a scalloped border, string, and little banners. I then added the super cute Pickles Dog Flower Bouquet 3 digi stamp and paired it with the sweet Friends Make Life Pawsome sentiment. Both were popped up with foam tape to make the cuteness stand out.
I love love how bright, cheerful, and pawsome this card turned out!

NELLY I simply love colouring up little fishes, it’s something about how their personality bursts into life! So for this weeks project I have taken the fish digital stamp from Winnie starfish and sandcastles digi download and coloured with zig watercolours. A little stencilling in the background and textures using texture paste created the ocean feel. I also used The Scribble Heart dies and the Heavenly Circles stencil. I thought this card would work perfect for an anniversary card? What do you think?

Maria - Hello again! I’ve been wanting to try these wonderful Pretty Shutter Window dies for such a long time, and now I’ve finally got around to it! I’ve created this lovely card using them. Combined with the magical Adalene Craft Papers designer paper, it gives a beautifully romantic, dreamy view into the evening sky. I added a brickwork texture to the paper using a stencil and purple ink. The sentiment from the Everyday Sentiment Strips pack is the perfect finishing touch for this handmade thank‑you card.

Robbie - Hello everyone! Who wouldn't love to see a mermaid? Well if you can't see one in real life you can create with them. I used various alcohol markers to color this underwater scene digistamp and Coral mermaid. Some blue ink was blended on the underwater scene panel to look like it is underwater. The Coral Mermaid paper made a great mat behind the scene. I shrunk the sentiment, printed, and then I cut it out. It was mounted on the same mat paper. The mermaid was fussy cut and then mounted on a spinner so she spins like she is swimming through the water. Who wouldn't smile when they open this card and the mermaid spins around!

Julie - Hello! Today's project is simple and easy to create. I started by printing an Ocean/Sea themed sentiment from Winnie Starfish Sandcastle about 1/3 of the way down on a card front. There are many sentiments to choose from so pick one that suits the mood of your card. I then cut a piece of printable paper from Winnie Starfish Sandcastle, and cut it at 4 1/8 x 3 1/2. I cut the 4 1/4 side across into a wavy design and attached it to the bottom of the card front. I chose a couple of vibrant colored fish from the Winnie Starfish Sandcastle Embellies and printed them in different sizes. I added some glitter to the fish before adding them with some foam squares into the water. I drew in a few bubbles and added some pieces of coral cut from a random die. I finished the card off with a few sparkly blue gems to coordinate with the water. I added a small strip of the water paper cut in the same wavy design to the card inside with an additional sentiment. The card was quick, beautiful and sends out a fun, relaxing vibe! Give it a try!

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.
