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.

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.
