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

This week we are delighted to introduce 3 new Design Team members - we look forward to showing you all their amazing work!  The whole team would love you to follow them on social media so they can follow you back too! Huge welcome to the talented Donna, Jo and Sarah!

 Judy:  The DT was asked to create with acetate or vellum this week. I chose to go with acetate and made a shaker card. The digi I used is Cute Chick with Umbrella. I colored with Prismacolor Pencils and fussy cut. The background paper is from Pretty Spring Printable Papers. My shaker element is clear all the way through the card front to allow the sentiment inside to show. The sentiment was stamped from Hello Sunshine 4x4" Clear Stamp Set.

Jo - Hello Darlings, Today I have created a card for the fun 'Use Acetate or Vellum' Challenge and I am now inspired to make more use of them in my future card making! I wanted to create a 'fairy vibe' type card so I used colours that were soft. The patterned paper is taken from the 'Totally Cute' paper pack. I created a square edge border and blended Distress Oxide 'Shaded Lilac' and 'Spun Sugar', then attached some white vellum to the back and placed my shaker boarded over the base and sequins.  To suit the Fairy Vibe I was aiming for, what better image than a Winnie could I choose?! This beautiful 'Butterfly Tree' digital stamp image may be one of my favourites. To go with the image I paired a sentiment taken from the 'Spring Wishes' stamp set and heat embossed it in Gold over some Lilac cardstock. To finish off the card I added some sequins which feature in the shaker element on the front for some additional shine. Love, Jo
Sarah - I created a shaker card for this project, and filled it with sequins to complement the bubbles in the gorgeous Winnie-Celebrations image which I coloured with Copics. I also used the Basics Circles dies and this Sentiment stamp.
Enrica - For this week's challenge the DT was asked to use acetate or vellum, great opportunity to try to use them not only for shaker! For my summer slimline card I combined several digital stamps: For the front the super cute Ice Cream Beach Gnome For Men , And on the inside Winnie Starfish/Sandcastles - Ice Cream/Food/Beach Kiosk/Shop/ and Horace & Boo Slurpy Ice Cream - Horace & Boo download printable stamp. Hope you like this fun project,  happy crafty summer everyone!  
Donna - For this week’s challenge I used Ruby Party Girl Digi stamp. I gave her a layered skirt by tracing the printed image with a white gel pen onto vellum. I also used backing paper from Winnie Starfish/Sandcastles Papers 3 Download and a sentiment from Helga Hippo Sentiments Download Bundle. Visit my blog for a step by step https://donnaparrottstudios.wordpress.com/
AMAZING projects this week! Huge thanks to the whole team!

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

This week we are delighted to introduce 3 new Design Team members - we look forward to showing you all their amazing work!  The whole team would love you to follow them on social media so they can follow you back too! Huge welcome to the talented Ariadna, Rachael and Gaby...

Ariadna - Hello crafters!! I`m so excited to show you my first project as a DT member of @polkadoodles.   I made a slim card using one of its beautiful digital stamps, the Hooray-Sparkle Unicorn. I fell in love with this unicorn!. I used my favorite colour pencils to paint it and some inks for the background and a little twist of my personal touch drawing the sun, the clouds and the grass.  Hope you like it!

Gaby -For this round card I used Angel Cloud Stamp - Lil Miss Sugarpops 2 Digital Stamp. This little girl is so adorable!! I colored it with prismacolor pencils. I used a round die for my base card and stars and cloud dies as decoration. Also used a die from my stash with the word "HELLO" as a sentiment.  
Rachael - I made this cutie using dino mite little dudes download.  Dino Mite Little Dude - Little Dudes digi stamp printable download - Polkadoodles Ltd - You get the papers to match this gorgeous digi in this bundle  I used a round die to cut a card base the using the papers and the image, along with some glue and foam pads I assembled this.  Perfect for any little boy's birthday! 
  Pam ~ Our Design Team focus today is on cards that are not squares or rectangles ~ so I've selected an oval for mine with an open weave frame.  I'm using Polkadoodles Bluebell from The Darling Buds Collection and have coloured her with my Copic markers in shades of Aqua blues.  After the card was assembled I added clear Wink of Stella over all the flowers and her outfit to give each piece that extra sparkle ~ making her as Pretty as a Picture! 
Nunzia: Today, instead of a square shape I opted for an oval card. I decided to use this adorable Too cute-mouse love that I colored with alcohol markers. To decorate the base I chose a paper from Winnie sunshine delights 6x6  digi paper pack and finally I added one of Quotes Winnie special moments as a sentiment.

Merja - This time I threw myself on a little princess mode 😃  I used Ula Be a Princess stamp and coloured this glorious princess with alcohol markers. I decided to do a little different background, so I designed a crown. The background paper is from Helga Hippo Paper Heaven 3 bundle, I drew a few lines with a glitter pen (doesn't show very well in the pic) and added some half pearls and diamonds. And Ula, of course, is the center of everything 😊

Nelly The team challenge was to crate "not a square or rectangle card, so out came my circle dies to create a round card which i then used distress inks on the embossed outer edge.  the image is called polkadoodles.co.uk/earlie-hedgehog-dandelion-fuzzypuffs-digi-stamp-printable-download/ and I coloured it up using alcohol markers.
KIM SIMPSON - Hi friends!  This week, since our theme is "not square or rectangle," I made this fun Graduation Cap Easel Card, starring the adorable Twiggy & Toots Graduation.  I have a few graduates that I am celebrating this month, so I thought it would be fun to do something really different for them.

AMAZING projects this week! Huge thanks to the whole team and a big welcome to Ariadna, Rachael and Gaby!

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

This week we are delighted to introduce 2 new Design Team members - we look forward to showing you all their amazing work!  The whole team would love you to follow them on social media so they can follow you back too!

Jo - Hi everyone! I created this birthday card using the Big Birthday Surprise Stamp set and Birthday paper pack which is so colourful and bright - love this little bear and the sentiment!
Sarah - I created an aperture card for this project, cutting through my blue card and the white card front with one of the Squarey Swirly Hearts dies, before using another one to cut out my sentiment. I decorated it with flowers, leaves and bees cut using the Gnome for Spring SVG set.

Judy: This week we are sharing cards with a greeting as the focus. I chose to use a sentiment from Winnie Daisy Greetings, Quotes and Sentiments. I printed the sentiment in green ontowhite card stock and adhered to a die cut frame. My background paper is from Pretty Winnie Daisy Papers. I added Flower Fairy Dancing Bouquet - Winnie Daisy Fairy,
which was colored with Prismacolor Pencils and fussy cut. Embellishments include ribbon, a bow and some pearls.
Enrica - Just because... you're such a sweet friend. This is my new inspiration project featuring the delicious Gnometastic Strawberry Dream digital stamp colored with Copic and Distress Ink for the brick background. The sentiment comes from the WSD Sentiment Bundle, I think they match perfectly together!  Happy crafting xx

Natalia - Hi everyone! I've prepared for this week just a simple mixed media card. I made my background based on watercolour paints and stamps from Bella Fleur A5 large Clear Stamp Set. I added some splashes and doodles. I wish you a creative weekend!

Wow! Inspiring projects and a big welcome to Jo and Sarah!

----------------------

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

  Nelly - For  this week project i used a die to create this easel card, the image is called Ula Create  and is either a download or Clear Stamp. The sentiment was taken from the Winnie Daisy Messages bundle - the stopper was created using flowers from my stash.

Pam - I've selected the Retire & Snooze Gnome for Men package for my easel card along with the Woodland Door Die and the Celebrate sentiment die. I traced the Woodland Door die onto the tan stripe digi paper and used the leave 'holes' in the die to add the mushroom dots. The green striped digi paper was used to make the grass and is under the easel fold - the area reserved for writing on the card. I love the glasses in this set ~ can you see the glossy accents I've added? Fun, Fun, Fun! 
Merja - I made an easel card using Music Record Collector Gnome bundle and papers from Gnome Men, Dad/Father bundle. I really love this image and those papers 💚
I designed the layout with a text editor program and then printed it. Then I coloured the gnome with alcohol markers. Lastly I added the text and taped the cassettes with foam tape to the bottom part so they keep the upper part in place.
Nunzia: for these sunny days I thought that the best symbol was this delicious Cherry Cream cupcake, so I colored it with alcohol markers, fussy cut and glued it on the base. The easel background is made up of scrap paper strips that come from some bundle such as Winnie sunshine delights 6x6 digi papers, Just lovely honeypie 18 printable paper, and Spring harmony 6x6 paper pack. The sentiment is a combination of two from Coffee, tea and cake-greetings and quotes printable bundle.
Kim Simpson -This week, I decided to create another masculine birthday card, and used another image from the Little Dudes collection.  I created this fun easel card with a twist using the Pirate Little Dude digital stamp and coordinating papers and sentiment.   I love that the stamps in this collection come with papers and sentiments that make it so easy to create adorable cards!
Ladies, thankyou so much for your great ideas & inspiration!
