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

Enrica - Hi crafty friends! My project for this week is a very special one for me, it is the card I’ve made for my son’s 16 birthday. I colored with Copic the adorable Party Bear with Cupcake and Party Bear with gift digital stamps from the cute Party Time printables collection. The banner with numbers are from the Label Banner Birthday Numbers. Love these cute little bears, they’re perfect to bring joy to every creative projects. Big hugs, Enrica

Jenn B - I printed out the From All of Us digi stamp and die cut around it, then printed the image again a few times on several pieces of printable paper from the Winnie Celebrations 1 - Paper 1 pack and paper pieced the balloons & party hats. I used another piece for the background and fussy cut one of the sentiments and attached it to another piece, then used an oval punch and attached it with foam dimensional tape. I die cut the #4 from another piece of the coordinating paper and attached that with foam dimensional tape to finish it off.

Revati - hello, crafty friends! I'm so excited to share a sweet and cheerful birthday card I created featuring the absolutely adorable Birthday Mouse Digi Stamp. This charming little mouse instantly brought a smile to my face, and I knew it would make the perfect focal point for a fun and festive birthday card. I began by printing the digi image onto a smooth 80lb white cardstock, which works beautifully with alcohol markers. Once the ink was dry, I brought the little mouse to life using my Ohuhu Alcohol Markers.To finish off the card, I added a fun sentiment strip that I pulled from the Winnie Daisy Fairy Everyday Greetings and Quotes digital sentiment pack. I love how it ties everything together and adds that perfect touch of celebration to the card front. For more details, be sure to check out my blog.

Sana - Today is new Digi Choose day Blog challange. This time the theme For DT was Numbers. So I choose this gorgeous Cute Elephant Tons of love numbers Digi for my make. Here I printed the Number 1 out with the cute elephant image and shaded is with Distress watercolor pencils i had. It just gave the cute vibe for a 1 year old. I then fussy cut the image out and used a 3D double sided foam to stick on the background the background paper is also from Polkadoodles collections.

Judy: The DT was asked to create an inspiration project with Birthday Numbers this week.My card was created with Party Bear with Cupcake, which I coloured using Prismacolor pencils and fussy cut.The background is made up of embossed white cardstock and a patterned paper from the Birthday Party Celebration Digital Paper Download.The sentiment was printed from Birthday Celebration Party Sentiments Greetings Printables. I also printed and fussy cut balloons from the Birthday Party Celebration Bundle.The number #3 was stamped using the Birthday Celebrations 4x8" Stamp Set.To finish, I added a die-cut bunting for extra fun!

Rachael - Hello crafters! Have you seen the new Graduation release? It is so stinking cute!! School may have broken up in most places now but this great bundle can be used for other things like New Job, promotions, Driving test and anything else where congratulations arr in order, I just love it! You get great papers and extra bits in the bundle like these books and apples and the ephemera is amazing, it's great if you're a scrapbooker too! Hope you liek this card, I think it turned out really cute...


Julie - I created this sparkly fish shaped card using with my Cricut cutting machine and a cutesy fish image from Polkadoodles Winnie Starfish/Sandcastle-Fish2. After creating the card shape, I printed a slightly smaller version of the fish, colored it with Copic Markers, added sparkle and a “Fintastic” greeting from the coordinating quotes. Complete details to create this card can be found on my Blog. Instagram, Facebook

Taty - Hello crafters, today I'm sharing my DT inspiration, a mini album to store all the souvenir photos from the school year. I decorated the cover with the Student/School Precolored image by Polkadoodles. The background was created with a folder to create a brick wall effect. I added a Happy New Year quote at the top, and some books at the bottom as embellishments.


Rachael - Hello again! I can't stop using the new Graduation release? so I had to make this cute card, it's great for just saying congrats and marking those extra occasions they might have through the year...

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


Enrica – Hi everyone! I don't know about you, but even though I love Christmas I always leave it to the last minute... The theme suggested to DT for this week was Christmas in July – nothing better to have at least one card ready in advance! I’ve made a round card using the super sweet Escape digital stamp, coloured with Copics. I’m in love with the fabulous Gingerbread Holly digital collection – these cute Gingerbread people are absolutely perfect to bring some joy in all our Christmas crafts. Big hugs xx

Jenn B – I printed out Wanda Penguin Hanging Bunting and coloured her with Copics, then used a circle die to cut her out. I used a random base from a crystal ball colouring page to create the base of the snowglobe. Papers are all from the Bella Bear Christmas Set 2 printable paper pack – I used one for the background, one for the die-cut bunting, and another I cut out the "Do Not Open Until 25 December" as an embellishment. The bunting and embellie are attached with foam dimensional tape.

Revati– Hello crafty friends, Can you believe it’s already July and we’re diving into Christmas cardmaking? For today’s card, I used the sweet and festive pre-coloured Bella Bear Bauble image, which I paired with a cheerful sentiment from the Christmas Greetings and Sentiments digital stamp set. To complete the look, I chose a playful snow-themed patterned paper from the Theo Penguin Paper Pad Set for the background. For more details, be sure to check out my blog.

Sana - Hello crafters! Christmas in July aleady, wow! I've used this cute Winnie image from the Winnie winterland collection...


Judy – It’s time to celebrate Christmas in July! My DT inspiration project is a holiday card created with the Sweet Gingerbread Cookie Christmas Bundle. I printed the Hot Chocolate image from the bundle, coloured with Prismacolor pencils and fussy cut. Two of the papers from the bundle were added to the card background. One of the tags from the bundle was printed and added as the sentiment.
