Renske Hello everyone! I had so much fun making this winter thank you card with the Hello Frosty Snowman Too cute digital stamp. I blended the background with Distress inks to create a calm, snowy night sky. The moon is a round shaker filled with white sequins and tiny hearts for a soft, playful effect. I coloured the snowman with my alcohol markers and placed them on a snowy hill. I used the sentiment Thanks for all you do from the grateful sentiment set. I hope you can find inspiration from this. Happy Crafting. xx Renske. My Instagram: @renske.wishes.you Facebook: Renske.wishes.you

Judy Hey there! My inspiration project for this week is a Thank You Card. I know it's still winter but, I opted for a more spring themed card. The card is a slimline design using the Toadal Sweetheart Stamp Set. The cute frog image was stamped and colored with markers before fussy cutting. Papers from Toadally Cute Paper Pack were used. The Thank You sentiment was printed from the Winnie Daisy Greetings, Quotes and Sentiments and die cut. You're a Toadal Sweetheart sentiment was stamped from the stamp set and die cut. I added some twine and a button.

Enrica Hi crafty friends, happy new year! For my card I colored with Copic the wonderful Husky Hugs and Colouring scene Mountains and glaciers digtal stamps. I added a bit of sparkling by adding snowflakes (from my stash) and a background, both colored with metallic watercolors. I really love this stamp, it reminds me of how much my faithful furry friend loved playing in the snow. Big hugs xx

Jenn B I used a fun yellow gingham digi paper for my background. I applied a honeycomb stencil in a diagonal strip to create dimension and flow. I used a tag die cut on a piece of cardstock and attached it with an old flower brad from my stash. I printed the Buzzing Around Bee Buzzy Gnome digi stamp twice. I die cut the first image using a stitched edge rectangle die and then fussy cut the second image. I coloured the images with Copics and Stickles. I layered the fussy cut mushroom and bee on top of the die cut using foam dimensional tape. To finish the card, I added a sentiment sticker along the bottom and sponged ink around the edges of the card.

Revati For today’s project, I created a clean and simple thank-you card featuring the beautiful floral bunch from the Alcea Hollyhock Flowers digi stamp. I love how the soft oranges on the petals blend with the gentle green shadows on the leaves. The detailed patterned background, also from the same digi set, was printed on watercolor paper, and I layered my floral image right on top. Using the pre-colored reference, I added my own watercolor touches to bring the design to life. The “Thank You” sentiment comes from the Winnie Daisy Messages Digi Stamp, which is packed with thoughtful messages in gorgeous fonts. To finish it off, I added a sprinkle of sequins around the sentiment and a touch of gold to the centers of each flower for a soft, elegant sparkle. More details on my Blog.

Sana So today we had to make a Thank You themed project for our blog challenge day. I made a card using one of the cutest fuzzy puffs scruff the dog digital stamp. The background paper is from winnie papers collection. A really simple and easy to make card for someone close. Dont forget to join this weeks challenge. Happy New Year.


🌟 Gorgeous Inspiration, big thanks to the team! 🌟
