. So let's see what the Design Team have been making...
Renske - For this graduation card I created a fun interactive pocket slider design featuring the adorable Noodle Panda digital stamp. I coloured the panda with alcohol markers and built a soft blended background using Distress Ink for the sky and layered die cut grass for depth. The slider reveals a hidden sentiment, adding a playful surprise element to the card. I used patterned paper from the Gnome Men Celebrations collection together with sentiments from the Noodle Panda themed messages and Winnie Daisy Greetings set. This design is easy to adapt and works well for celebrating any graduation. Hope you like it. Happy Crafting.My Instagram: @renske.wishes.you

Liz - I love to create different pieces of art – card making, mixed media etc – so I thought it was time I did an art journal page.I got this gorgeous stamp set from Nikky called Every Wish Stamp Set – I love it!! The flower heads are separate along with a stem stamp, so you can use as many or as few as you wish.I stamped the main larger flower, then used a mask to cover this so I could add the stem to look like it came from under the flower head. I used a mask on the other side too for the added flower head, leaves and squiggle.My background is created using Gelatos, Distress Crayon and a little acrylic ink, simply smooshing the colours to blend a little. I then went over with the Bubbleicious stencil with Antique Linen Distress Ink for a little added feature to the overall design. The small circles are another two stamps from the same stamp set.I finished off with a sentiment strip stamp set, which I then cut down into smaller pieces. I coloured the flowers, leaves etc with my watercolour pencils in matching tones to tie it all in.

Enrica - Hi crafty friends! This week the DT was asked to make a graduation project using a given colour palette, and I decided on a slimline card using the Cute Girl in Gown Digital Stamp and Printable Clipart from the Graduation School Student release available at: https://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/graduation-school-student/ I love this set – it is absolutely perfect for graduation cards and handmade gifts!
Jenn - The digi stamp I used for my graduation card is called Cute Girl in Gown Graduation School Student. I coloured her with Copics and fussy cut both her and her graduation cap, then attached them with foam dimensional tape. The papers are from the Graduation School Student paper pack. I used my paper punch on the lined paper to mimic paper being ripped from a notebook. I printed out the entire sheet of sentiments from the Graduation School Student Sentiments Quotes, then trimmed and attached the congratulations and so proud.I printed out the Graduation Day graphic from the same set and used a reverse scallop circle die to cut it out.
Revati - I’m sharing a new graduation project featuring the Cute Girl in Graduation Gown digi stamp. After printing the image on 80lb cardstock, I used my Brother ScanNCut for precision cutting before colouring with Ohuhu alcohol markers. To build the scene, I paired a brick-patterned background with a sentiment from the Graduation Word Art Sentiment set. Layering the coloured image over the sentiment strip added the perfect dimension to finish the card. For more details, please visit my blog.

Sana -For this week’s blog post the DT was given the theme of graduation, and I made a really simple tag this time. I have used the Winnie Congratulations digi – did I say Winnie digis are one of my favourites! The background paper is from the School Graduation papers. I used the cracked stencil from Tim Holtz Sizzix and did some shading with Distress Oxide. A really simple and easy tag or bookmark. Don’t forget to join in the fun.
