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


Enrica - Hi crafty friends! This week the DT was asked to create a project with a given color palette and I made a card-in-a-box using two of the cute images from the Autumn Fall Freddy Fox digital stamps bundle, patterned papers and sentiments are from the same set. I personally love autumn colors, what about you? Crafty hugs, Enrica


Jenn B - I had so much fun making this card - I created my background by blending Distress Oxide Inks on watercolor paper and then ink smooshing it. I flicked some Walnut Spray Stain on the brown/orange piece. I printed out Gil Bunny Rabbit Carrot Picking, die cut with a stitched edge rectangle and colored with Copics. I used a little postage stamp frame die for the carrot. Sentiment is from the Winnie Celebrations 1 Sentiments. I finished it off with gemstone stickers.


Revati - Hello crafty friends! This fall, I’m reaching for some of my favorite warm browns to capture the cozy seasonal vibes. For today’s card, I used the pre-colored birthday cake focal point from the Flower Birthday Celebration Cake Digi Stamp and enhanced it with a touch of subtle shading, letting the rich browns remain the star of the design. To balance the warmth, I paired it with a thoughtful sentiment that ties everything together beautifully. For a touch of contrast, I chose a soft light blue background from the Spring to Easter Paper Pad. The combination not only highlights the focal point but also symbolizes that lovely transition from bright summer days to the cozy charm of fall.


Judy - This week's inspiration project is a card created using autumn colours. I used Nom Nom Bee Buzzy Gnome as my focal. This cute digi was coloured with Prismacolor Pencils and fussy cut. The background is comprised of two patterned papers: Bee Buzzy Polka Dots Printable Paper and Bee Buzzy Honeycomb Printable Papers. I finished the design with one of the sentiments from Bee Buzzy Message/Sentiments/Quotes Printables.


Sana - This time the DT got to have fun with colors. we where given the theme Autumn with this beautiful color pallete. Over here i have used the gorgeous digi deal set Mr Sox the fox downloads.
This cute digi blew up my mind. And the paper backgrounds are just gorgeous. The great thing was the color pallete we where given matched the exact colors of the paper background so i made this cute little mini album. I shaded the flaps with distress inks with floral stencil by Tim holtz. The size if this cutzy album is around 3x2.5in. Remember to participate in the challenge of this week grab the gorgeous digi deal now to have fun. Check out my social media for more details.

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

Rachael - I'm sharing a card I made using the brand new Pretty Flowers dies - I love this NEW RELEASE, make sure you check it out! I've used the Pretty Blossom dies along with the new Stencil Butter Frosting which gives such a lovely background using the Switchable circles stencil - I feel like these colours are perfect for Autumn.

Julie - This pumpkin-shaped shaker card is all treat, no trick! I started by using my Cricut to cut the pumpkin image from Polkadoodles Ghastly Ghost design directly into a folded card base. I also printed a non colored version of the image in the same size. Then used inks & blending brushes to create beautiful colors on the pumpkin and the leaves. I created a background panel with more ink blending and shimmer spray to create a completely eerie look! The shaker window was created by layering acetate behind the cut-out face, then adding a foam border to hold the sequins and beads in place. Once filled, I sealed it with the background layer, a sprinkle of bats, and a dash of Halloween sparkle. The card inside reads “Batty for Candy” - a sentiment from the same bundle. A perfect way to bring some “shake” to your spooky season crafting! Full details on my Blog. My Instagram; My Facebook

Check out this super fun card using our Ghastly Ghosts downloads - WOW, the background is perfect! 

Taty - Hi everyone, today I'm sharing my DT inspiration for the new Halloween-themed challenge, where I used the Spooky Kitty Cat Pumpkin Boo Halloween digital stamp, which I colored with Prismacolor pencils and then precisely cut out. I created a pumpkin-shaped card, highlighting the shape with black embossing powder and colored the segments with Distress Oxide Carved Pumpkin and Spiced Marmalade. The sentiment is part of the Boo Halloween bundle. Have fun creating!

Maz - I'm clinging onto summer but I think this card still has some Autumn vibes...I've used the new Pretty Blossom flower dies together with the Leafy Fronds dies and some chipboard elements, finished off with the new Berry Background stencil.

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

Jenn B - For the background, I printed out the paper from the Bella Bear Christmas set 2 printable paper pack and sponged the edges with red ink, layered on a red card base. I printed out Love Bird Rose Flowers, colored with Copics and then printed it out again, fussy cut the heart and attached with foam dimensional tape to make it pop. I added a die cut "happy" sentiment, some Washi tape and a heart button.

Revati - Hello, crafty friends! Today I’m sharing a sweet and simple Thinking of You card featuring the adorable little bird from the Love Bird Rose Flowers Digi Stamp. I printed the image on white cardstock and trimmed it down using a smaller A2 nesting die before moving on to coloring. To bring the bird and her little bouquet to life, I used my Ohuhu Alcohol Markers, keeping the coloring soft and minimal with just a touch of shading. I also added a few white highlights for extra detail. (You can watch the real-time coloring process on my YouTube channel!) For the background, I selected a lovely floral patterned paper from the Winnie Daisy Fairy Digital Paper Pad collection—it paired beautifully with the image and helped tie everything together. The sentiment, “Thinking of You,” is from the With Sympathy Messages Digi Stamp set. You’ll find more details and photos on my blog—come take a look!

Sana - Hi today is another new Challenge day and todays theme was Birds and Flowers. I have used

Wings Of Love 1 sheet topper. Over here i have made half fold card a really easy one if you are looking for making something really different and cute. All i did was fold the card from left side half way decorated the insides and outside from Polka doodles digi papers and stuck the owl with 3D double sided foam so it giveS a 3D effect to the card, I also stuck one right behind it as it looked really cute a hidden message. This Wings of love digi is really Versatile, you can also make some home decors with it. Hop on and participate in the challenge of this week.

Judy - It’s all about birds and flowers for the design team’s makes this week. I created a card that is perfect to give someone special to you. Love Bird Rose Flowers from the Wings of Love Downloads was printed, coloured with Prismacolor pencils and fussy cut. This sweet little bird was popped onto my background created with papers from Wanda Printable Paper Patterns and Flower Meadow Printable Download. I printed one of the sentiments from Love Birds Greetings onto white cardstock and stencilled over with the Blossoming Rose 6 x 6" Stencil.

Enrica - I created a circle card using this cute Honeypie image and added some extra digis to create a scene...I used the little birds from the Autumn collection, hope you like it..

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

Rachael - Hello crafty peeps! Today I'm sharing this card I made for a gardener in the family. I used the great Garden Tools dies and Chicken wire texture sheets to create a simple card that is perfect for a him or a her - all from the Summer Garden collection, make sure you check it out on the website!

Julie - It’s late August, and it’s sunflowers with bees buzzing - which fits in perfectly with my passion for creating journals and all that go with them. And so this tag came to be using layers of papers and embellies from Polkadoodles Rose Bud Collection (this collection is a must) paired with a Blooms 3 floral image. Ink stenciling, bits of lace. and a touch of splatter create a backdrop for a popped up bee & floral blossom. Full details to create this project can be found on my Blog. My Instagram, Facebook

Taty - I created a gift tag for Christmas presents or a winter birthday. I used the Snow Much Fun stamp by Polkadoodles, colored it with Prismacolor pencils, and then cut it out with scissors. The phrase is from the same stamp set. For the tag, I used glittery blue cardstock and added some small snowflakes to embellish it.

Terri here with some cute and functional inspiration for you in the form of a gift box and matching tag. The DT theme this week was anything goes, with a tag. I’ve had a pack of two boxes that just needed to be assembled and decorated in my stash forever. I think they were from when I first started crafting and building my stash and would buy de-stash bundles from other crafters. When I saw the adorable gingerbread characters and Christmas Cottage I just had to use them! I measured the top of the box 5x4”) and sized the pre-coloured houseaccordingly, and also a cute gingerbread character. I sized another gingerbread character so it would fit nicely with a coloured sentiment from the coordinating sentiment pack.
As I love to colour so much, I had originally planned to colour the cottage myself (and am sure it will feature in some Christmas cards this year!) but I became short on time so used the coloured version and chose Copic colours to match. For the girl with Noel I used: E99, E34 & E21; Bow & dress R85, R83 & R81; hat & shoes BG72, B00 & B000;, icing hair YR30; purple scarf BV13, BV02, BV00; sign Y17, Y08, Y06, YG09, YG06, RV29 & RV25. I then fussy cut the images.
I decorated the box with sweet pink polkadot paper from the vintage candy paper pack. I then used a fancy rectangle die set to cut out the picture of the cottage and the fancy base in a blue that matched the colours. I then added two thin strips of cream ribbon using red line tape to the top of the box so it looked like a gift, before adhering the cottage and the Noel character, which I added foam tape to for extra dimension. Lastly I attached the tag to the box using twine, for a shabby chic look. I hope you enjoy my project as much as I enjoyed making it. Crafty hugs, Terri xx

Rachael - Hi everyone! I've made this flowery 'just because' card this week using the
Hello Pretty Flowers stamps - I love these stamps, they're so easy to use! I've stamped these onto the patterned papers from the Pretty Colourful A4/8.5x11" paper pack - no colouring required from me! Even the background is from the paper pack, gorgeous to create this look so easily.
