So, let's see the inspiration from the team for this week!
ENRICA - Hi crafty friends! For my slimline card this week I’ve done a relaxing scene using the super cute Gardening Gnome For Men - Bundle together with some images from the Helga Hippo Ephemera Digital Stamps, all colored with Copic. This garden is really beautiful, the work of this sweet gnome is giving excellent results! Have a wonderful week! Big hugs, Enrica

Jenn B - This tent easel card was fun and super easy to make! You basically just take a piece of 8.5x11 cardstock, cut it in half the long way and score at 4.25 and 8.5. You make the folds and decorate however you like - you just have to make sure something pops up on the bottom piece to hold the tent up for displaying. I used Fairy Ballerina, colored with alcohol markers, embossing, and glitter. I fussy cut her and attached her with foam dimensional tape. The papers are from the Rebel Papers bundle 3 and the Flower Meadow paper pack and the sentiments are from the Spring Flower Mother's Day Friends pack.



Revati- Hello, crafty friends! Today I’m sharing a clean, simple, and elegant card design featuring the beautiful floral bouquet from the Lilac Haze Flower Bundle.
For this project, I opted to use the pre-colored version of the floral image included in the bundle. With a bit of digital editing, I lightened the image significantly so it would serve as a soft, almost invisible guide for my coloring — perfect for a no-line coloring technique.
I chose delicate shades of light pinks and purples to keep the overall look soft and feminine. Using my trusty Prismacolor pencils, I added depth, dimension, and detail to the florals. Once the coloring was complete, I added subtle highlights and a touch of sparkle for a bit of extra charm. The sentiment, also from the Lilac Haze bundle, was positioned to slightly overlap the floral bouquet, creating a seamless and elegant look. To finish off the card, I added a few Dew Drop enamel dots for just the right amount of embellishment.

Judy: My inspiration project for this week is a slimline card. I used the Unforgettable 4 x 4" Clear Stamp Set. One side of the card background was inked and the other has patterned paper from the Toadally Cute 6 x 6" Paper Pack. The stamped images are colored with markers and pencils. Some of the images were stamped directly on the background and others were stamped, colored and fussy cut. I added a few enamel dots to finish it off.


Renske - Hi everyone! I created a tent fold card using green cardstock as the base for this card. I used the Bamboo Snack Time- Noodle Pandadigital stamp, printed it on DCP paper, and coloured it with alcohol markers. The background inside the card is decorated with a green leafy paper from the Noodle Panda set 3 digital patterned paper set. I added a circle aperture on the front panel, framed it with a matching green cardstock frame, and decorated it with leaves from the patterned paper and small die-cut flowers. The sentiment comes from the Noodle Panda-themed messages set, printed and placed around the panda image to complete the card. Happy Crafting! My Instagram: @renske.wishes.you

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

Julie - Our Design Team project this time was Ocean/Mermaid theme. A wave crashed over me and I knew it had to be a shaker card with bright blues and greens and a touch of purple. Meribelle Mermaid Swimming was the perfect image and background to create this card. Meribelle is popped up on foam tape to create dimension inside this ocean bubble in the form of a Rocker Card. She swims above tons of glitter and shaker bits that float all over when the card shakes. The sentiment was printed from Coral Mermaid Quotes. Find all of the details for this fun filled card on my blog. Skill level: Easy!! • Instagram • Facebook

Carrianne - Hi friends! Today, I’m mermazing excited to share a sweet and fin-tastic mermaid card featuring the adorable Winnie Mermaid Mermazing (pre-colored) best friends digital image. I just can’t get enough of how she’s making waves while sharing a warm sea-cret hug with the little dolphin! It’s the perfect blend of under-the-sea charm and whale of a good time.
I blended through a sea foam stencil using Distress Oxide inks to create a textured ocean scene, then spritzed it with water for dimension. A light mist of glitter spray added some shimmer. After trimming the panel to 4 x 5.25 inches, I adhered it to a white card base and popped the image up on foam tape. The sentiment was heat embossed in white, and to finish, I added iridescent gems as bubbles for a touch of sparkle.

Taty - Hello creative friends! My DT inspiration for the new ocean/mermaid themed challenge is a card, created using the digital image Winnie Mermaid Mermazing - best friends[TR1] which I colored with Prismacolor pencils. The layering is as follows: white card base, blue sheet, card with image and blue striped vellum die-cut in the center. I added blue half spheres as embellishments, waves die-cut with blue glitter card and the phrase from the set Winnie Mermazing Mermaid Quotes.

Rachael - Today I've been creating this lovely Rose card using the layering stencils from the Radiant Roses collection. So easy to create this look! I added foliage from the Botanical foliage dies and the brick stencil in the background...

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

Judy: Wings is the theme for the Design Team for this week's inspiration projects. I created a card using a mixture of digis and clear stamps. My focal point is the digital version of Serenity Fairy Kisses. She is framed with die cuts. I used stamps and dies from the Daisy Butterfly Wings Bundle for embellishments and the sentiment. All the images, digital and stamped, were colored with Prismacolor Pencils.

Enrica: Hi crafty friends! For my card this week, I’ve colored with Ohuhu markers the sweet Butterfly Fairy Winnie Daisy digital stamp and paired it with the Garden Fence and Birdhouse Country Scene background. I love how these two images match together—hope you like them too! Big hugs xx

Revati: Hello crafty friends, I created a sweet card using the Butterfly Fairy Winnie Daisy Digi Stamp. I printed this image and colored it using my Spectrum Noir TriBlend Markers and added a few white highlights on my fairy using a White Gel Pen. Once my fairy was colored, I cut her out using my Brother Scan n Cut Machine. For my background, I wanted something more whimsical. I used this gorgeous blue patterned paper with a touch of florals in the background from the Spring to Easter Printable Paper. I finished the card with a beautiful sentiment from the Winnie Daisy Greetings and Sentiments Digi Stamp.


Adam: Created this colourful Polkadoodles card starting with stamping the Daisy Wings stamp through an oval mask. Next, I used the Daisy Butterfly Wings matching stencil to colour the flowers. Finally, I added the All About the Guys sentiment in the blank area of the oval to complete the image.

Jenn B: I used Love Bird Rainbow Valentine combined with the You Mean the World to Me sentiment. I coloured with alcohol markers and Stickles and fussy cut, then attached with foam dimensional tape. I created my background by blending Candied Apple Distress Oxide Ink on watercolour paper and spritzing with water. Then I applied some paper strips to the corner and attached a bunch of gemstone stickers. I added a die-cut heart and some "Love" & heart stickers. Peace.

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

Merja - This time I created this fun and joyful tag. I used Ula Be Strong image, coloured it with alcohol markers and then fussy cut it. I used a beautiful blue paper from Spring Into Easter papers 2 set, cut it and taped it on the kraft tag I had. I drew a white frame and some spots around the patterned paper with a paint pen and added some stars with Starry Nights stencil and yellow paste. I also stamped a few blue stars with Bottoms Up stamp set. Lastly I added some yellow ribbon and taped Ula and sentiment on the tag.

Julie - Today I bring you a large Mother’s Day gift tag using printables from Polkadoodles to create flowers that literally pop right off the paper! The tag uses 3 fun papers from the Daisy Days Collection cut using a large tag die. The flowers were printed from the same collection and popped up using foam tape over the existing pattern on the paper. I print, then cut a larger butterfly to attach with a perfectly coordinated sentiment. Full details to create this project can be found on my blog. Please follow me on my Instagram & Facebook...

Carrianne - I've created a couple of tags for Mother's day using this sweet bunny digi and the Flower Meadow bundle - so pretty and great value!

Wendy L - Hi everyone! Today I'm sharing a shaker card using this cute bear and cake coloured with Copics. I matched the colours of the confetti with the digis to make it all co-ordinate...these cute digis are from the latest Party Time release, so cute!

Taty- Hello creative friends! My DT inspiration for the new Mother's Day themed challenge was created with the beautiful All You need is Love dies and the Heart Wreath stencil. I created a layout to give to my mom with photos of a weekend spent together in the mountains.I used the circular die with the little hearts to frame the photos and recovered the tiny white hearts to glue them scattered on the layout. I created the frame with a black marker and the heart and the squiggles that are part of the stamp set PD7698 Every Wish
