Liz - I love to make a card using a tag shape, so for my hubby's 70th Birthday I created this cute themed tag card, I love the Vintage ephemera stamp set, which I also used with the Sending Love stamp set. I used the All in the Numbers stamps for the finishing touches.


Enrica - Hello everyone! Today's card is made using the Flower Meadow digi collection, I do love how this turned out i'm really happy with the colours I used and how they match the paper from the collection too.


Revati - I created this gate-fold card using the gorgeous Alcea Hollyhock Flowers Bundle. This set is a dream if you love products that coordinate perfectly! It features stunning floral arrangements, matching patterned papers, and versatile sentiments. To hold the gate-fold in place, I designed a wrap-around belly band featuring the "Sending Birthday Wishes" sentiment and a few fussy-cut flowers. While I left the inside blank for a personal message, I added a small floral accent to beautifully carry the design through to the inside. For more details, visit my blog.

Jenn - We were tasked with creating a card with a wraparound, and I had the perfect idea for my middle granddaughter's birthday, which is one week from today!I used the digi Gemini, colored with Copics and mounted on a piece of black cardstock. I used Kraft cardstock for the base of the card and printed out the giraffe pattern to trim down into the wraparound the piece. I stamped the balloon and sentiments on the wraparound from the Do Small Things with Love clear stamp set with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. The "Gemini" sentiment is from the Zodiac Signs and Months words set. My IG @craftywitchyjenn




Renske- For this challenge I created a soft and cosy wrap-around design featuring the sweet Suki Cat/Kitten with Mail & Lollipop digi stamp. I used the cloud patterned paper from the Pretty Spring papers to create a light sky background and added envelopes. On the belly band I made enveloppes with hearts and arrows to match the theme of the digital stamp. The sentiment from the Spring Tons of Love greetings Set was resized and layered onto the belly band to make the wrap the real focal point of the design. I also added dimensional elements and alcohol marker colouring to give the card extra depth while keeping the overall look soft and playful. Hope you will get inspired by this.Happy Crafting.

Nelly - Hi everyone, what are you up to today? Gardening is on my todo list and this inspired me to create this adorable garden gnome card. Doesn’t he just look so busy pulling up those carrots?
To create this project I used Gnome Grown stamps which includes the sentiment and you can find it HERE the design paper is called Winnie sunshine delights and you’ll find it by clicking HERE.
The sentiments was taken from the strip sentiment panel HERE Whatever you’re up to have a great weekend everyone and carry on crafting folks!

So let's see what the team have made to inspire us this week!

Liz - How cute is this MDF Daisy Dwelling? it is one of three in the pack, I will show the others later.
I decided to colour the project in acrylics, using beige and Taupe colours, you could of course colour it anyway you like, but I quite the Scandinavian look and the colours fit in with my room.

Julie - I wanted this Graduation card to be colorful & playful, like a box of crayons. I chose images from Graduation Object Digital Stamps- a stack of books and a graduation cap along with a diploma, and colored them with Copic Blends into simple shades of red, green & blue, with the hat being black.
Books: Red-R39, R27, R24 Green-G19, G09, G05 Blue- B26, B24,B21 Black-100, N8, N6, N4 Diploma & Book pages- C3, C1, 0
Tassel and Book Detail- Gold Gel Pen
To create the background I started with a red embossed layer of cardstock. I printed 2 pattern papers from the Graduation Paper Bundle, and tore one on the top and bottom to create a diagonal layer to glue onto the cardstock layer. The second pattern paper resembled lined paper from a notebook, I punched 3 holes in this and layered it onto a matt of blue cardstock to create a landing space for the focal point. I added different heights of foam tape to the books and diploma and attached them to this focal layer, and then added that to the cardfront. The HOORAY sentiment from Graduation sentiments was a perfect greeting for this card paired with a sub sentiment that rests on the ruled lines of the lined paper. A few gems for added sparkle and this card is ready to send!

Taty - Hello creatives today I share my DT inspiration for the graduation theme. I created a greeting card for a girl who graduated from medical school. I used the image Cute Girl in gown Graduation School Student that I colored with pencils Prismacolor. 

I'll leave you the pencil numbers: academic robe 935-1069, shoes 1061-1054, hair 1033-1034-917-942, face 1018-1013-1014-927, red ribbon 924-1030-122. With stencils and distress oxide I created the hexagonal flooring using the color iced spruce and the little stars with the fossilized amber. I framed the image with colored cardboard ecru, embossed with the star folder.  Finally I glued everything onto the base of the grey card.

Robbie - Hello everyone, Graduation season is upon us and I have a 
Cute Girl Graduation image idea for you. I colored it with watercolor inks. The pattern paper is from the graduation polka dot collection. The sentiment and diploma is from the Graduation school student clip art . I used a pencil from the Graduation school clip art collection to separate the pattern paper from the white background.

Maria - What a stunning bloom, right? This hydrangea from the Hydrangea Ribbon Stamp Matchables Set is an absolute dream to work with, and I really wanted to make it the star of the show. To do that, I decided to use the Spotlight technique. I started by stamping the image onto my white top layer using a stamping tool for perfect placement. Then, I stamped the image again onto a smaller piece of cardstock and colored only that portion with alcohol markers. To add some depth, I used a masking technique to blend some grey ink around the focal point. Once I layered the colored piece back onto the main panel in perfect alignment, I matted everything and adhered it to my card base. The Congratulations sentiment is from the Wedding Day Set—isn't that font just gorgeous? I think the final result is a very sophisticated card, perfect for a graduation celebration!

Nelly - The inspiration for this card came from my Granddaughter, she’s just turned 4 and graduates from nursery this year. So with her in mind, I chose to go cute. Using distress ink I stencilled the background in frayed burlap, and abc123-stencil I coloured up this image taken from the graduation bundle found here cute-girl-with-glasses-books--bag, other elements, pencils, sentiment, bunting and balloon was taken from the big bundle which you can find HERE you will find so much inspiration from this bundle.

Nelly - Hello lovely crafters! Today I made this interactive card using the All the Dirt stamp and die set. Firstly I stamped the images All the dirt and water coloured using my pens onto water coloured card. You can find the stamp and matching outline die collection Here - all the dirt, the design papers were taken from the work and play 4 digital collection. The inside sentiments was taken from all occasion stamp set. I hope you like it!

Enrica - Hello again my crafty friends! I'm so happy to share with you my Father's Day card using a few characters from the super cute Fathers Day digideal bundle. I chose the black and white images and colored them with Copic markers but, in case you need a last minute project, you can find precoloured images as well! You can use this Family Bundle for anything... 54 files included it's a crazy deal!
Big hugs, Enrica

Jenn - The Polkadoodles DT was tasked with creating a Father's Day card this go-around, and I thought this adorable Bamboo Snack Time Panda was the perfect digi for this! I colored him with Copics, fussy cut, and attached him with foam dimensional tape. I added some die cut leaves around him which blend in nicely with that Noodle Panda Set 3 paper!

Revati - I created a fun and playful Father’s Day card featuring an adorable chef gnome grilling up something yummy. The image was printed and colored with Ohuhu alcohol markers, and paired with coordinating sentiments to build a cheerful scene. I used a postage die for added texture on the main panel and layered it over a striped patterned paper background, creating a bright and festive card perfect for celebrating Dad.
