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.

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

Liz - It's my Sons Fiancee's Birthday today, she loves a handmade card and layers so I created this using some of the gorgeous chipboard, papers, Polkadots and flower dies from Polkadoodles,

I love this Daisy Daisy paper pack which is the base of my design, the chipboards are so lightweight they are fabulous used in cards as well as mixed media,

I love to create flowers from die cuts, and love to see how many different looks you can get from them,

The Celebrate die adds another little layer too, though I will admit it's been covered with the flower a bit, lol. Here's what else I used on this make:

• Love and kisses stamps • Pretty Flowers 1 dies • Flower flourish dies • Pretty frames and quotes chipboard •

Jenn B - I really enjoyed making this adorable little wallet! It was definitely a challenge for me, but a fun one! I printed out Bunny Rabbit Blank Greeting Card from Polkadoodles, colored with Copics and fussy cut. I used digi papers from Polkadoodles, die cutting a deckled edge circle from one of them to attach the bunny to with foam dimensional tape. I added a die cut heart and the "Spring Wishes" sentiment from the Spring Flower Mother's Day Friends sentiment pack. I used this tutorial on YouTube to help me with the dimensions for the wallet. I was super pleased with the finished product and will definitely be making more of these - I envision one for each of my 3 granddaughters!

Judy - My inspiration project for this week is a Spring themed card. I am using Gill Bunny Rabbit Growing Sunflowers Digi as my focal. He is colored with Prismacolor Pencils and fussy cut. I adhered to white cardstock. A border at the top of the card uses one of the papers from Pretty Spring Printable Papers.The sentiment was printed and die cut with an oval die. I added handcut banners to complete my card design.

Revati - I created a DIY wallet that’s perfect for gifting a gift card. To form the pocket, I printed a fun floral pattern on one side of heavyweight cardstock and a coordinating solid shade on the back, both from the Bee Buzzy Flowers and Plains Paper collection. The pocket itself features a simple center slit to neatly hold the gift card. For the front accents, I printed an adorable Easter bunny from the Bunny Rabbit with Easter Egg Digi Stamp and paired it with a “Happy Easter” sentiment from the Easter Greetings Digi Stamp set. I colored the bunny with my alcohol markers and added a bit of visual interest by die cutting it with a scalloped die. A soft touch of yellow ink blending on the tag ties everything together and complements the colors of the pocket beautifully. You can find more details and full measurements over on my blog.

Sana- Today is a new day for blog posting and this time the DT was given the theme to make a wallet which can hold a gift using a Rabbit. So I chose this 3 cute little bunnies digi set. It comes with the paper backgrounds as well. I die cut the Rabbits with the doily die i had in my stash. The zig zag dies at the background which are giving the framed look are also from my older stash of dies. The wallet size is 7x5. I stuck the bottom frame flat and the top one with 3D foam to make it look dimensional. The doily Rabbits was also stuck with 3D foam. A little bit of thread at the corner and a lace die as well. For the inside i decided to tear off the papers in half and make it as half torn pockets so you can insert some money or a gift voucher. The small tag is the senti which comes in the digi as well. So overall the paper background and bunnies are from the same bundle. It is such a cute digi set I loved making this giftable wallet. It also has a magnetic closure. Dont forget to join in the fun this week.

Enrica - Hi crafty friends! I'm so happy to share with you my new inspiration project.This week the DT was asked to make a wallet and the requirement was to use a rabbit. I decided for the sweet Love You Cart Loads and the Bunnita Shopping digital stamp for the tag/gift on the insidePatterned papers are from the DIGI DEALS - Dahlia Flower 1 and the DIGI DEALS - Bella Bear Morning Coffee. In case you had any doubts... yes, I'm addicted to pink. It's a color I adore and it makes me feel good. And you? What color would you have done it in?

🌟 Gorgeous Inspiration, big thanks to the team! 🌟

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

Julie I had so much fun creating this Birthday Card. I wanted to create something pretty, with florals and touch of lace. I started with 2 digital papers from Rosebud collection, and added the lace pattern over the pattern to create a border on my card front in my editing program. Next I chose the greeting from Birthday Sentiments, I wanted it to sit pretty much in the mid section of the card —this sentiment worked perfectly and I really liked the font. I chose to add my florals from the Perfect Peony bundle, I added them to my digital workspace and moved them around, and overlapped them until I was happy with the arrangement. I printed 2 copies of this. On one copy I colored only the flower blossoms using Copic Markers- R22, R21, R20, then cut them out with scissors. On the 2nd copy I colored the leaves and stems -YG67, YG65, YG63. I used a random stencil to add some little dots in a coordinating ink color in 3 random places on the card front. Using foam tape I placed the cut out blossoms into place on the card front, this dimension absolutely made the flowers pop! I ink blended a piece of vellum paper in shades of green, and from it cut some leaves with a leaf die and tucked those in under the flower blossoms. I added sparkle to the florals using a glitter brush and added a few gems before attaching the card front to a card base. You really must try give this card a try, it is so beautiful in person. FYI: the florals on this card are actually more of a pink color - I’ll chalk it up to one of life’s many mysteries as to why my camera refused to capture that color. My Blog, Instagram, Facebook

Maria - Winter is slowly coming to an end, and with it comes the joy of fresh, soft colours that make us look forward to spring. I immediately picked up on this feeling in today’s project. For my mum’s birthday, I used the beautiful Timeless Rose craft paper – she loves pink, so it was simply perfect. To keep the design elegant and clean, I used lots of white. A delicate vellum wrap surrounds the card and features the gorgeous Celebrate sentiment along with the heart from the Heart Flourish die. When you open the card, a little surprise is revealed: a pop-up effect filled with the lovely images from the Birthday Celebrations set. I deliberately coloured the images using only Polychromos pencil no. 193 to achieve a very soft look, and added Glossy Accents for subtle shiny details. To finish off the card, I added hearts and tags from the Ribbon Tag Heart Dies and the Nested Heart Dies as well as lots of sparkling gems to bring everything together. I hope this card inspires you to start creating with fresh colours as we welcome spring. Here´s my Facebook & YouTube - hope you will follow!

Mary - I colored my Winnie with my Crayola Colored Pencils and fussy cut her out. For my card front, I used Helga Hippo paper. I also added some more pretty paper for fun and whimsy. I cut them both at 5 ½“x 4 ¼“ then sliced them both on the diagonal and used one piece from each piece of paper. I then grabbed some holographic washii tape from my stash and put that diagonally for some extra shine and interest. I cut two scalloped hearts out of a die I had in my stash, I cut one from this red stripe paper and the other from vellum with butterflies, also from my stash. I decided that my focal image needed to stand out more, so I cut a rectangle out of this lovely purple paper, placed her on foam and glued it down to the bottom right hand of the card. I then picked my sentiment and placed it on a speech bubble for a little more whimsy. Happy Mother’s Day to all the mom’s, grandma’s, and ladies who have had any hand in helping to raise people, animals, and anything!

Taty - Today I'm sharing my DT inspiration for my new Mom's Birthday/Party themed challenge, which requires the inclusion of vellum. I created a greeting card decorated with flowers from the Flower Meadow collection, which I colored with Prismacolor pencils. For the base of the card, I printed the pink checked pattern from the Coffee Tea and Cakecollection. On the front, I created an arched window using a die. I applied blue vellum with little hearts to the window, and on the inside of the card, I finished the window with blue striped digital paper from the Coffee Tea and Cake collection. This last paper in the collection is green, but the printer was running out of color ink, so the result was a light blue shaded with green. Naturally, to avoid wasting anything, I used it anyway. We creatives always find a solution, and I want to point this out because Polkadoodles digital papers are fantastic, with flawless printing results.

I embellished the card with butterfly die-cuts and a white Greek key at the base of the window to simulate a windowsill. The sentiment is glued to the inside, visible through the window, and is part of the same collection as the flowers.

Kim D - Hello! Kim here with a card to help celebrate Mom's special day. It can be for Mother's Day, her birthday or anything in between. I used this fun image of the Flower birthday cake.I think this image is perfect for any celebration. You can color it up to be either feminine or masculine.
