Let's see what the Design Team have created to get you inspired this week!...

Julie - Today’s Design Team project is a super sweet Easter treat holder. The front and back fit together to look like an Easter Egg, with a partial box sandwiched between the layers of egg to hold a favorite Easter treat. The decorative paper layer from Pretty Spring Papers created the perfect backdrop for this cute Cheeky Chick image, which I colored with Copic Markers. Or you can skip the coloring and simply download the pre colored version—even quicker! The Eggstra Special greeting worked perfectly for the mini eggs stuffed into the middle of the egg, while the smaller version is sized perfectly for an Easter Creme Egg. You could trade out the Easter candy for a cookie & tea bags. Also I was able to fill the Easter Egg with 2 little containers of gems, a mini bottle of liquid glue, and a bottle of embossing powder to gift as a crafty treat! Hop on over to my website for measurements and design details. Instagram, Facebook


Kim D - Kim here today sharing this adorable easter card using the Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep set. He is just the sweetest. I colored him up using copics and used some glossy accents for the water. I believe the paper I used was from the Pretty Winnie Daisy Papers. He is ready to celebrate the day!

Maria - Easter time is such a wonderful crafting season. I absolutely love creating projects for it — even if, in the end, we don’t actually give away that many paper crafts, right? Still, a little chocolate can be packaged in the most delightful Easter way, especially when you have gorgeous papers like the Adalene Craft Paper to work with.I wrapped my box with this beautiful paper and then decorated it with the enchanting bloom from the Pretty Layers Flower Dies, a soft feather, and a sentiment from the Great Occasions Stamp set. A sweet little bow from the Ribbon Tag Dies found the perfect spot on the bunny’s ear to finish everything off. I really love how this turned out — soft, elegant, and perfectly Easter-ready! Here's my socialmedia:

Mary - I thought a little photo journal would make a lovely Easter gift, so I took a piece of cardboard about 11 11/8 x 5 10/8in and folded it in half. I added about 1/4 in on either side of the centre for the spine. I took some paper from Paper Heaven 4, Wanda, Watercolour Flower Stem, plus other collections to use on the outside of the book, as well as, inside and for decoration. I applied paper to the spine, then another pattern for the front and back of the book. I then applied another piece of paper on the inside of the cover of the book. I also cut up some ephemera and pieces for decoration from Wanda Toppers, Clumsy Wanda, Winnie Sugar Sprinkles Embellies, plus others things I have laying around from other projects. I took two pieces- of 1 x 11in paper and scored it at 1in then every 1in. The first score line will be like a foot to apply to the book later. The other score lines will be mountain/valley folds, back and forth until you can make another 1in foot near the end of the paper (the last inch of paper will be cut off). We then need to cut a piece of paper 1/2in x 2 to help secure our pages after we get them ready.
I cut the pages for the journal about 8 x 5.5 to 10 x 5.5in (I did use a couple of smaller scraps for pages for fun and to use them up). Once the different pages were cut, I folded them in half and cut a 1in slit across the middle of the page. These slits go over the mountains and the 1/2in strip will go in between the mountain to hold the papers in place. You can also fold the small piece to hold it better. Do not glue it because you will not be able to add pages if you do this. You can add more than 1 page to the mountains, if you choose. After the pages are in, you can start decorating and embellishing any way you like. I added a Gold Brad from my stash to use as a closure hook and used white and gold twine. I’ve added some ribbon, put envelopes, note pages, and decorations on and in the journal. It’s yours. You may do whatever makes you happy!

Taty - Hi creatives, today I'm sharing my DT inspiration, a quick project to wrap your Easter gifts. I created a little box that measures 41/2 x 2 x 8 inches, starting from a piece of cardboard that measures 13 x 10 inches. I decorated the box with the beautiful image Bunny Rabbit with Spring Carrots, colored with Prismacolor pencils. I share the colors - carrots 1002-118-1033, green 912-109, flower 1001-1033, eggs 915-102-928-1014-929, pink 1014-929, gray 1059-1060-1054. The greeting phrase inserted at the top of the package is part of the collection Spring Flower Mothers Day Friends. As embellishments I added satin flowers in the same color as the box and white leaves and flowers. To close the package I used satin ribbon with a flower pattern.

Rachael - Hello friends, Rachael here, sharing some spring sunshine with one of my absolute favourite spring images. This gorgeous girlie from the Darling buds collection Tulip flower girl Darling Buds - printable digital stamp for card making, craft, scrapbooking, printable stickers - Polkadoodles card making, craft, scrapbooking supplies and digital stamp, svg, clipart printables is called 'tulip girl' and it so much fun to colour, and I love that I was able to make her bigger in size to fit my project. You have got to LOVE digis for this. Happy crafting everyone!

Liz - Easter is on it's way, so I have decorated this fabulous Dreamy hares shelf sitter, I've created it as an Easter project, but it looks gorgeous for other celebrations too, ie New Baby. I've used acrylic paints dabbed onto the pieces with a piece of sponge, this gives texture and if using two colours on the sponge as I did in some places you get a two tone look, I added some of the lovely Polka Dots onto the trees and used some of the gorgeous Daisy Daisy papers for the hand created Easter Eggs these are of course something I added for the Easter theme, along with some Easter chicks from my stash.

Let's see what the Design Team have created to get you inspired this week!...

Jenn B - I instantly fell in love with the Udderly Cute Cows Love & Friendship Big Kahuna Collection when it was released and I knew I wanted to make my mom a Mother's Day card with one of these sweet images! Udderly Cute Cows Love and Friendship Bundle. For my card, I used the adorable Hearts and Flowers. I colored with Copics, fussy cut, and attached with foam dimensional tape.
I layered the purple paper behind the wood grain paper and die cut a large heart from the wood grain paper. Papers are from the Printable Paper pack 5 and the Flower Meadow papers. I added a sentiment from the Spring Flower Mothers Day digital stamp.

Mary - It’s sunny out, so I decided we needed to make a fun Easter Card. Firstly, we print out our lovely Honeypie Spring Lambs. If you head to my YouTube channel you'll find a video for this make. You can either fussy cut them out or use a cutting machine because the SVG & DXF files are included. Also, you will need some Easter Sentiments, some fun spring-like papers, so I used some from Bee Buzzy and from the Winnie Sugar Sprinkles Paper Heaven 4 and Paper Heaven 5. I also needed some Embellies and Winnie Sugar Sprinkles Blooms to decorate the card and more is more! To make: take a piece of heavy pretty card stock 10” x 5 (or 12” x 6”) for your base. You will score along the long side at 2.5” and 5” (3” and 6”). Make sure everything is nice and even when you use your bone folder. On the 5” x 5” (6” x 6”) piece that is left, mark at 2.5” (3”) on all four sides. Score from the 1st 2.5” (3”) fold to the 2.5” (3”) mark on the opposite side in the square. Do the same on the opposite side. Cut from the top mark to either side 2.5” (3”) mark to make the top of your diamond. Look at the video for more detailed instructions. Now use your other papers, embellishments and blooms to decorate your pop up diamond card! Happy Easter!

Judy - My project for this week is a Mother's Day card created with the Holly Flower Basket Download. I colored her with Castle Arts Pasteltint Pencils. She is fussy cut and popped onto a layered, die cut oval. The background papers are fromWinnie Daisy Fairy Paper Patterns 2. I printed the sentiment from Spring Flower Mother's Day Friends Greetings Sentiments Printable. It was die cut with an oval die and matted.A ribbon, bow and some gems were added to complete my card design.

Enrica - What's the best way to celebrate mom? Whether it's her birthday or her special day, I think flowers are always a great option. For my project this week I made three tags using a few stunning floral craft printable digital stamp bundle: Alcea Hollyhock Flowers, Perfect Peony and Watercolour Flower Stem. For two of them I used the pre-colored images whilst for the third I chose the b/w version and colored it with Copic. Could you guess which one? I don't know about you but I would be very happy to receive one of them!

Revati - I created a sweet and heartfelt Mother’s Day card using the beautiful Fantasy Moon Digi Stamp. I chose this particular color combination because it reminds me so much of my mom — she absolutely adores pretty florals. I printed the image onto a white cardstock panel and added the Happy Mother’s Day sentiment from the Mother’s Day Messages digi stamp set. To complement the floral tones, I matted the panel onto purple cardstock that coordinates perfectly with the lovely lavender patterned paper from the Lilac Haze Flowers Bundle Digi Paper Pad collection. You can find more details about this card over on my blog.

Sana - For this weeks blog post theme the team got to work for mothers day And I thought this gorgeous tulip flower girl would look soo delicate and gorgeous for this theme. I chose the pre coloured digi this time. Fussy cut the image and stuck it on a embossed paper back ground with Tim Holtz lace embossing folder. The printed paper is from Polkadoodles as well. I did some simple mixed media effect with the card. Wrote the mothers day myself. And here you have the simplist and fastest card. A really delicate card for Mothers Day.

Let's see what the Design Team have created to get you inspired this week!...

Kim D - Hello everyone! it's Kim with this adorable Winnie Easter Bunny card! I printed her on this Country road Colouring page scene which is also available and colored it up to make a fun Easter Card. Think of the possibilities with this background scene, you could add all kinds of images!
Julie - This super cute Easter card started with an embossed backdrop, nothing in particular, just use anything that makes you hoppy! The center stage for the card uses a piece of cloud printable paper from Pretty Spring Paper, cut at 4 1/8 x 2 7/8. Use a random die cut to create a small layer of grass that can be added to the bottom edge with foam tape. Tuck a fence or any little scene builder pieces you may have in your stash in behind the grass border. Cut a 1 inch x 4 1/8 piece of the dotted paper in the Pretty Spring Paper pack —cut it with pretty much any border die (or none at all) leaving about 1/2 inch sticking out glue this piece to the back of the stage layer. Wrap some twine or ribbon where the grass border meets the polka dot print and tie a bow. Print and color the Cute Bunny image, and possibly a few extra eggs. The ones from this card were cut from another Easter image. Add the Bunny image using foam tape at the top of the image and liquid glue toward the bottom to keep the bunny sitting even on the layer. Add the additional eggs. Using foam tape attach all of this to the front of the embossed layer and add a to a card base. Lastly, chose a sentiment from Easter Greetings, attach to the desired space on the card front, and add a few gems or sequins for a little added sparkle. My Blog, Instagram, Facebook


Maria - Easter is just around the corner. At last, pastel colours, cute designs and playful card shapes are back on the crafting table. I created an accordion card and really let loose with the Spring Flowers set. It includes everything we need for spring: sweet animals, Easter eggs, flowers and so much more.
I coloured the images with Polychromos pencils (nos. 113, 128, 129, 132, 166, 171, 180, 186, 189, 230, 270) and added highlights using a Gelly Roll pen. I´m a sucker for doodling borders, and hello! With the Flower Fun Borders set I don’t have to draw them by hand anymore – I can simply stamp my borders straight onto the card. Love it! Here's my social media, would love you to give you a followback!:

Mary - Hello! I wanted to show you how to make a quick card when you get bundles that have design sheets in them. First, I grabbed a cute floral paper from the bundle (printed on 8.5 x 11). Next, I folded the paper in half the long way (5.5in mark) and scored it. I folded the front portion of the paper in half also (2.75in) and scored it. Cut off about 2in (which will make the card 6in tall). You can then place this piece on your base card, but make sure you have you design facing outward or use double sided paper (you can print the paper design on both sides). You will glue to the very back and front portion of the card base. Now, you can decorate the card any way you like. I used the Winnie picture to decorate the front of the card, including the band. I cut florals and eggs to place around the card for extra depth and dimension. I cut out the paper piece with the envelope to place in the back of the card, like an inside sentiment. I used the floral band on the design sheet to decorate the band that is inside the card. I placed glittery eggs, bunnies, and chicks around the card. These came from my stash to add a little sparkle to the card! Quick, easy, and adorable!


Taty - Ready for a new challenge? For my DT inspiration, I created an Easter greeting tag. For the tag structure I used the beautiful pink checked and green striped digital patterns from the collection, Coffee Tea and Cake paper patterns bundle which I printed on 200g cardstock and cut with a die. I used the image Bunny Rabbit with Spring Carrots that I colored with Prismacolor pencils, whose numbers I’m sharing with you: carrots 1002-118-1033, green 912-109, flower 1001-1033, eggs 915-102-928-1014-929, pink 1014-929, gray 1059-1060-1054.
The phrase entered at the base of the tag is part of the collection Winnie Celebrations 1 sentiments. I hope I have inspired you with this lovely idea for wrapping up your little Easter gifts.

🌟 Gorgeous Inspiration, big thanks to the team! 🌟
