So let's get to today's inspiration...  this week the team were asked to make something for Spring and Easter using animals and critters...

 Nelly: The team challenge was set to use an animal, I felt this hen image was just perfect, I coloured her up using alcohol markers hen-chicken-digital-stamp-digital-craft-download the background was created using a cloud stencil and distress inks.

Merja - On my card I used adorable chicks and flowers from the new awesome Springtime Smiles collection. I used the pre-coloured versions because I really love those in this collection. I also added acrylic diamonds as the center of the flowers. The background I made using Dotty Background SVG file.

Pam ~ For my Animal card I'm looking toward Easter.  I've selected one of the newer images from the Love Always Collection for my card today.  These two bunnies are appropriately named Together Always. After Copic coloring them I've added a warm sunset background.  The loopy die cut in navy cardstock is also from Polkadoodles - it's called Squarey Swirly Heart Die, and is in the Timeless Rose Collection. Although I'm using them for an Easter card, I'm sure you'll agree they could be used for Valentines, Anniversary or just to say I Love You anytime.

Nunzia: Spring has come and Easter is around the corner, so a themed card is a must. For my interpretation I colored Bella Bear With Milkshake.The background is made digitally overlapping  three papers and, finally, I composed the greeting sentence with two sentiments taken from Winnie Sugar Sprinkles Sentiment and Quotes bundle.
EivorEaster is coming soon and it also was the theme for us in the DT team. My first Eastern card is this with the super cute stamp Eastern is coming soon and it also was the theme for us in the DT team. My first Easter card is this with the super cute stamp Bunnita Shopping that I colored with copics. I sewed with a sewing machine around the image, to get a cute detail. The papers are from Winnie Fairytales - Once upon a time 6x6 paper pad.  I cut a white cardstock with one of the die from Craft Die Fanciful Circles and placed it between the pattern papers. 
CarolineA card for Mothers Day!  And somehow one for Mum is not complete without adding flowers! I coloured and fussy cut the flowers from the Collage Queen stamp set.  Created a frame effect using the small flower from the Flower Power 2 set.  All tied up with ribbon!

  • Polkadoodles - Stamps - Flower Power 2 PD7491
  • Polkadoodles - 6x6 Paper Pad - Birthday Fun


Kim SimpsonFor this week’s challenge, the Design Team was tasked with using animals to create an Easter project so I decided to do something different and try my hand at making a tag.  I am so glad that I did!  It was so much fun!  I colored up the Bella Bear Easter Bonnet digi with Copics, and layered up some of the digi papers, pre-colored embellishments and a sentiment from the Winnie Sugar Sprinkles Springtime bundle over some heavyweight kraft cardstock.  I am so happy with how this came together and can’t wait to make more tags!
Ladies, thankyou so much for your great ideas & inspiration!

So let's get to today's inspiration...  this week the team were asked to make something including food or chocolate...

Judy: My DT card for this week features a chocolate and strawberry cupcake from Strawberry and Cream Cupcake. I colored the digi with Prismacolor Pencils. The background paper and strips are from Coffee Tea and Cake Paper Patterns BundleI used a sentiment from Coffee Tea and Cake Greetings and Quotes.

Kim-for my card I am using Cherry Chocolate Cream Cupcake how yummy! I colored with copics and added some glossy accents to the cherry. The paper is from Birthday Fun paper pad and the sentiment is from Sweet Birthday Clear stamp set 
Enrica - 
Natalia - The theme of this week for our DT is Chocolate or food. So this time I've decided to do some art journal page using chocolate colours, digi stamps, polymer stamps, and stencils, all from Polkadoodles.

So let's get to today's inspiration... 

Merja - This time I didn't colour anything 😮 I designed the "background" on the text editor. I used the digi paper from Winnie Wonderland Paper Heaven 6 set as a base and added two leaf wreaths from Winnie Fruit Punch Embellies bundle. Then I added some butterflies from Helga Hippo Embellies bundle and flowers from Helga Hippo Floral/Foliage bundle. Lastly I added the sentiment from Winnie Sugar Sprinkles Sentiment set before printing the page. Then I just taped it on the pink cardboard and then on the ivory card base. I added the pink bow I made using satin and organza ribbons and lastly a few diamonds on the one corner.

Nelly: I have used sweet-as-candy-love-always-printable-craft-digital-stamp-download-with-free-svg-dxf-files/ and cropped her to fit into the circle shapes , I coloured her using alcohol markers. the background is done by using distress ink and the love-heart-1-stencil-4-x-8/
Pam - For my Mother's Day card using our double circle sketch I've used Honeypie Doggy Tails and made a double Shaker Card.  The papers are from  Vintage Candy Craft Papers and the sentiment tag is part of the Sentimentals package.
Nunzia: For this Mother's card I chose to use delicate colors. So I colored this cute  Dancing-Queen Honeypie 's dress and shoes using clear grays. In this way the bright pink roses stands out beautifully. They have cut off and resized from multiple prints of Dancing-Queen Honeypie. The sentiment is one of the well filled Winnie Sugar Sprinkles sentiment quotes Bundle
Ruth:  I've used Winnie Working Hard, coloured with Promarkers and then used various papers from the collection which I printed as different sizes.  Image has been coloured with Promarkers and I've added other embellishments from my stash.  Sentiment is also from the bundle
EivorSo happy to celebrate our mothers on Mother's day!  My card is to my mum, who is the best of course. I wanted a card with happy and bright colors, so the papers from the paper pack Bright & Beautiful Paper Packare perfect. I love the cute stamp Just Lovely - Honeypie , and I colored it with copics.  The sentiment is from Just Lovely - 31 Greetings/Sentiments Bundle  and the circle details are cut out with the Craft Die - Fanciful Circles.
Caroline - I flipped the sketch, and coloured and fussy cut the flower from the Collage Queen stamp set. The hearts created a cute bottom border, this is part of the same stamp set.  All tied up with ribbon! I used: Stamps - Collage Queen For a Day & Paper Pad - Blushing Blooms...

Kim Simpson - This week, the DT was asked to create a Mother’s Day card.  I must be perfectly honest – when I purchased my digi for this project, I accidentally purchased the pre-colored digi.  I decided that I would go ahead and try something new as I have never used a pre-colored image before.  I have to say it was a ton of fun!!  I fell in love with Winnie’s Lovely Bouquet and it paired beautifully with some of the digi papers from the Eden collection! 

While it was not a quick and easy card to make, it sure was convenient to just print and cut the digi and not have to color it! 

Lynnette - For my 5x5" card we were given a card sketch. I used Winnie Sunshine Delight bouquet digi stamp, coloured with alcohol markers and fussy cut. I Cut some pink handmade paper to 4¾" square for the background. I then used the same handmade paper and plain white card with scalloped and straight circle layering dies to make two circle type flowers and added a bow to finish.
Ladies, thankyou so much for your beautiful ideas & inspiration!
