Now onto the fabulous inspiration from the Design Team...

Tina: I created for you a card and used some from the collection Winnie Special Moments. That Image Windy Day, digital Paper from Paper Heaven 2 and a frame and dragonfly. I colored Winnie with Polychromos and my flowers are made from Foamiran.

Scatty Jan - For my card this week I am using the wonderful Winnie Special Moments collection, This collection totally blew me away being so mega cute. This is  made up from Digi elements.

Michelle - I am using Lilly Bug Love Collection for my project I love this little love bug I have used the papers, digi image all from this collection

Claire C - I've used papers and stamps from the beautiful Belle Papillon Paper Craft Kit and added some stencilled polkadots to make this card. I've also used lots of Polkadoodles dies to create the flower and foliage - Flower Flourish, Birdhouse Doublet Set, Flowers 1.

Bev here with a cute 5x5 card created from Horace & Boo Big Kahuna. I used a combination of papers, sentiment and design sheet. Shaping the flowers to give dimension and inking to give an aged look.

Anjie - I've used the Winnie In Winterland collection. Both of the backing papers have dots on them and then I've used the oval frame die from the Bubbleicious die set which also has a pin dot line around the edges. I've mounted the top layer of paper and the topper onto 3D foam. I've layered up some of the beautiful flowers and added some stamens to them.

Such fabulous creations....

Now onto the fabulous inspiration from the Design Team.

Ruth:  I've gone back to the wonderful collection that is Belle Papillon Collection and teamed it with the versatile Flowers 2 Die.  I've layered up one of the butterflies and curled the wings for extra depth.  The flowers have been layered with left over papers plus some blue and white tissue paper that I found in my stash.

Jacki - For my card today I have used the new release Ula's life collection I have really enjoyed using these images in the last week I have coloured her in using Polychromo pencils and then added papers from Octavia collection and added the die border Toadstool I finished off with a floppy bow to complete my card.

Helen - Well what can you say about the fabulous Horace and Boo Collection, so much cuteness all in one place and delicious papers and embellies to. I've teamed them up with some of Nikky's fabulous dies to. I've used Bubbleicious and the Ribbon Gift dies you can find them here at the store.

Pauline - I've used papers from the Belle Papillon Vintage CD to create my card.  The daisy is from the Daisy Daisy Stamp & Cut Set, I stamped and fussy cut it because I didn't want the white border that is left by the die.  The sentiment is from the Daisydays CD and my die cut element is the largest die from the Ribbon/Gift Frames & Corners die set.

Karon - I have used the wonderful Lavender Tea Collection for the papers in my card today.  My flowers are cut using the Flowers 2 Die, along with the Elegant Flourish Die and the Flower Flourish Die to add some leafy elements.  Also just had to use the Elegant Nesting Dies - set of 3 to layer up.

Lisa - I have made a card using papers and elements from Belle Papillon Big Kahuna Download. I have also used a one of the dies from the Elegant Nest Dies but I changed it up a little by cutting out the middle of the die cut.

Carol - I made a card using paper from Winnie Starfish and Sandcastles Paper 3 download and the gorgeous Friendly Cuddles from the Horace and Boo Collection coloured in with copics. Using dies to cut my scalloped oval and lacy decorations for the card, topped off with some tulips and a bow.

Such fabulous creations!...

Have you seen our amazing new DIGI STAMP release? 

It's all about our amazing new character ULA - she's a real stunner and perfect for all kinds of crafting especially if you love to get a mixed media feel with your projects.... 

 Check them all out here!

Now let's see what wonderful inspiration the Design Team have for you this week....The DT's twist on the challenge theme is Use a Die Cut and if you want to join in with that theme then go for it :-)

Tina: For my card I used "Dollie Daydream Goes East" and colored with Polychromos. A little bit glitter on it and so "You Can Do Anything. 

Anjie - I used the Polkadoodles Bubbleicious die set for this make. I cut the two frames from watercolour card and then left the die in place and used a distress ink to add some colour around the edge of the die. I mounted the frames onto 3D foam and stuck them down. I then stamped out the Flamingo, flowers and foliage from the Tropical Paradise Flamingo stamp set, also onto watercolour card. Again I used the distress ink to colour them in. I then sprayed the flowers and leaves with water so the card became pliable. I then shaped the flowers and leaves, added some stamens to the flowers and glued in place on the card.

Bev  with a cute little easel card made using Winnie Starfish/Sandcastles Collection. Great minds think alike as I too used the Bubbleicious Frame Die. My image is coloured in with Prisma Pencils.

Claire C I've used stamps from the beautiful Bella Fleur A5 Clear stamp set to create this little wildflower meadow. The butterfly is from Belle Papillon Stamp Set and I've used the matching Butterfly Doublet Die to create the butterfly using acetate and glitter on the back.

Michelle For my project I have used the brand new ULA the one I have used is called ULA Life Journal  and for my die cuts I have used Ribbon gift frames and corners dies 

Lou: I've used stamps from the Tropical Flowers stamp set and the following dies: Ribbon Gift Frame & Cherry Blossom Branch. The stamped images have been watercoloured and mounted on to the branches. I have also extended the Ribbon Gift Frame to make a much longer panel. The sentiment is from the Belle Papillion stamp set.

 

 Lots of fabulous creations to inspire you....

 Jacki - For my card I have gone completely out of my comfort zone and gone in another direction totally to my usual cards (but boy did I have fun) I hae made a dainty 4½ x 6½" card using papers from the Beau paperie collection I then used embellishments (dress and butterflies) from the Summertie collection and the Winston collection. The chipboard frame and dressmaker dummy are from my stash.

Now onto the fabulous inspiration from the Design Team.

Tina - I have created a small garden. There are lots of flowers, but also trees, a pair of birds, many butterflies and bees. The form for the garden consists, incidentally, of an empty tobacco can, which I have cut in length. For my work I have used a lot from the "Winnie Fruit Punch" - Big Bundle. 
Winnie Dandelion Day and the Bee House is colored with Touch Twin Markers. Here you will also find individual components: "Dandelion Days - Winnie"  and "Dandelions" Design Sheet"

On my Blog you can find much more details and photos.

Bev here with some floral inspiration for you. I used the oh so cute Helga Flower Girl. The added flowers & sentiment are available on the Big Kahuna Bundle. I coloured everything up using my Prisma Pencils. Then matted it onto matching card stock & added 2 decorative Corners.

Scatty - For my card this week I have used one of the lovely stamps from Winnie Sugar Blossom , how utterly lovely is she, You can pre-order the Winnie stamps and paper pad collectors edition right here. I have coloured up using pencils, and the flowers and paper are from The Summertime collection.

Michelle - I have used the Daisy Day Stamps Clear stamp set for my project I have stamped them with versa mark and then embossed with white embossing powder, then painted them with water colour paints and iridescent medium.

Claire C - I've used one of the gorgeous Winnie Sugar Blossom stamps (you can preorder them here) and lots of lovely Polkadoodles dies (Elegant Lamplight and Gate, Flowers 1, Flower Branch Doublet Die Set, Bubblicious Frames for the roof and Versatile Door/Window/Flap die)

Lou: I have used my Bella Fleur stamps to create my project but couldn't resist sneaking in one or two stamps from the Belle Papillion collection too. My mount is from the Ribbon Frame Gift Frame & Corners die set.

Anjie - I used the fab stamps from the Daisy Days collection. You can get the stamps on their own HERE if you wish to. I did lots of masking and used different inks to stamp the images with onto watercolour paper. I then used my Kuretake Zig Art and Graphic pens to water colour the flowers and background. I added a couple of squiggly lines with a black fine liner pen and then mounted to picture on to 3D foam. More info on my blog.

Such fabulous creations.
