Judy: My Polkadoodles inspiration project for this week is a pillow box treat holder with a tag. The pillow box was created with a punch board. I covered the pink box with a patterned paper from Pretty Spring Papers Printables. The same paper was applied to the tag. I used Bunny Rabbit with Spring Carrots Colour for the focal on the tag. The sentiment is from Easter Greetings, Quotes and Sentiments Printables.

Enrica - Hi everyone! My project for this week is an Easter garland made of paper rosette and some cute Easter digital stamps colored with Copic: Bunny Rabbit with Spring Carrots, Butterfly Chick, Cute Bunny Rabbit sitting on Easter Egg. Digital papers are from different sets: Gnome holding carrots gardening, Coffee Tea and Cake paper patterns bundle and Pretty Spring papers. I’ve added ton sur tone laces and a few enamel dots from my stash and sentiments from the Darling Buds bundle.Stay crafty!

Jenn B - I created a magnet with a digi paper from the Paper Patterns 4 set for the background, and printed Hello Chick! from the Spring Into Easter messages set directly on the paper. I used this adorable In the Nest Spring Chick digi stamp, colored with alcohol markers and fussy-cut, then layered on a twig die-cut.

Revati - Hello crafty friends, today I tried something different. I created a decor piece using a table mat piece. I plan on placing this on my front door welcoming the little bunnies of our neighborhood. I used the Easter Basket Chick Spring to Easter Digi Stamp. I colored the image using my Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers, after which I cut it using my Brother Scan N Cut machine. For more details, please visit my Blog.

So, let's see the inspiration from the team for this week!

Wendy - I have an adorable card to share with you today using the latest digi release Birthday Celebration bundle. I used the adorable Party Time Bunny and one of the flowers for this sweet card. What I love about digital stamps is it's so easy to resize and manipulate all of these elements to fit perfectly on my card. I resized and rotated the flowers to create a beautiful border around the bunny. It was really fun to design this way.

Carrianne - Hello friends! Today, I’m sharing a clean and simple card that features the beautiful Alcea Hollyhock Flowers, which I thought would make the perfect choice for a Mother’s Day card. I paired it with a lovely sentiment from the Spring Flower Mother’s Day Friends Greetings set—this set is packed with so many wonderful sentiments, making it perfect for all your floral card creations! I began by resizing and printing the image to suit my design, then colored it with Copic Markers and fussy cut it out. For the background, I used a diagonal stripe window die, which I adhered to a white A2 card base for a bit of texture. I added the image on foam tape to give it some dimension and make it pop. The sentiment was printed, trimmed, and also adhered with foam tape to give it a little lift, tying everything together beautifully.
Copics used:
V12-V15-V17
Y13-Y15-Y18
YG61-YG63-YG67

Taty - Hello creative friends! My DT inspiration for the new Mother's Day themed challenge was created with the gorgeous Winnie Sugar Sprinkles Springtime. color digital image. I created an interactive card, with a sliding mechanism, where by pulling the right insert the left part also comes out. I printed the image on 200g white cardboard and then I precisely cut out the girl, the flowers and the butterflies which I glued on the front with the word mum in the oval frame. In the right insert I pasted the phrase present in the set.

So, let's see the inspiration from the team for this week - we've been creating lots of gorgeous Boys & Male themed projects to inspire you... 

Renske - Hi everyone! For this card, I created a fun slider design with a football shooting towards the goal. I started with the Soccer Football Gnome for Men digital stamp. I coloured it with alcohol markers and added highlights with a white gel pen. The background was made using distress inks for the grass and sky, along with a cloud stencil for a soft, textured effect. I made the footballs from the Gnome Men Soccer Football Printable Pattern Paper and finished it with a sentiment from the Gnome Men Greetings, Quotes, Sentiments set. Hope you like it!

Adam - Everyone's favorite drink "Dragon Fruit" (not coffee, silly) is the inspiration for this card made with these gorgeous Polkadoodles Crafts dies and papers. I made a multi-colored mug using the Love you a Latte dies and placed it onto a fun sheet of coordinating card stock from the Devine Hearts paper pack. I modified the sentiment by cutting off the bottom half and using only the "Love You".

Enrica - Hi everyone! Today I made a fun card for a boy's birthday using the Little Dudes downloads. These are a must-have collection if you need to make cards for young boys, there is something for every year I think! I used papers from the collection too as they all co-ordinate with each theme...

Jenn B - I used two of the digi papers and the cute knight digi stamp from the Knight & Dragon set. I colored him with alcohol markers, fussy-cut, and attached with foam dimensional tape. I added a little textured die-cut from the same background digi paper and added a button to highlight the colors. I love the little ticket sentiment, which is from the same Knight & Dragon.

Revati - Hello crafty friends, I created a sweet and simple card design using the Cook Gnome for Men Digi Stamp. I colored this cute and adorable image using my Tri Blend Markers. I then cut this image using my Brother Scan n Cut Machine. For my background I used a blue floral pattern from the Spring to Easter Digi Patterned Paper. I printed "Let's Hang Out!" sentiment from the Winnie Daisy Sentiment Digi Stamp.

Judy: It's all about Boys/Men for the DT's inspiration projects this week!I created a card featuring Bob the Dog in a Boat. The image was printed and colored with Prismacolor Pencils. Strips of a patterned paper were handout to form waves and I die cut another patterned paper for clouds. The sentiment was printed from the Bob in a Boat Set and die cut.
