Let's see the inspiration from the team - we've been creating lots of lovely inspiration for you...it's Mother's Day soon in the UK so here are some gorgeous ideas for you...


Betsy - Today's card features Gil Rabbit Growing Sunflowers. In honor of spring I've turned them into daisies! I composed my card in the computer using Winnie's Celebration Kit 1 Papers 2 for my background. I used an excess piece of the green stripe and die cut it with a grass border die. I colored up Gil using Copic markers. I used a side folding card base with a white scalloped panel, then the panel I popped up on foam. I adhered the sentiment to the top left. I embellished with a white gel pen, tiny iridescent butterflies, a heart button on Gil's overalls and tiny yellow flowers.
Copic colors used: Yg00, Y02, Y15, Y17, YG11, YG63, YG23, B000, B01, B93, B95, B97, Roo, R02, E33, E35, E37, B1, C3, C5, W0, W1, W3, W5

Renske - I created an Easter-themed card using the 'Cute Easter Egg Basket' digital stamp as the focal point. To make the basket shape, I printed and coloured the image twice, ensuring that one was mirrored on the back of the card. I coloured the images with alcohol markers. I added elements from the 'Chocolate Time Chick Spring' digital stamp, such as grass and Easter eggs, to create a festive spring scene inside the card. The text 'Hope your Easter is Eggs-tra special' from the digital stamp set 'Easter Greetings, quotes and sentiments' was included to convey a heartfelt message. I hope you like the card. Happy Crafting!

Judy: I've created an Easter card for my DT project for this week's challenge. The card base was created with 3 hexagonal die cuts. I used Bunny Rabbit with Eater Egg as the focal. It was colored with Prismacolor Pencils and fussy cut. The border along the bottom of my card was created with the Spring Borders Craft Stencil. Background papers are from the Co-ordinated Paper Bundle Theo Penguin and Totally Cute 6 x 6" Paper Pack. I used a sentiment from Easter Greetings, Quotes and Sentiments. A bow was added to finish.


ENRICA - Hello everyone! This week the DT was asked to make an Easter card with a non-standard shape and a flower seemed perfect to me. I used the super cute Butterfly Chick Spring into Easter digital stamp, colred with Copic. Patterned papers are from the Bella Bear Morning Coffee and Gnome holding carrots gardening Digi Deals. I’m totally in love with this sweet chick, hope you like it too!


Tinne - Hi everyone! Easter is looking around the corner, so we are creating Easter cards! I created a flower shaped card out of craft cardstock. I cut out the base shape a second time out of white oxide ink cardstock, and a third time out of a green pattern paper from the Work & Play 10 collection – Paper Heaven 2. I cut out the middle circle from the white one, and inked it with Speckled Egg Distress Oxide ink. I splattered it with water and some of the ink. Once dry, I glued it on my base shape. I used the green scalloped circle to cut out 2 grass sections, and I cut of the scallops. I glued one section on the flower shape, glued the gnome from the Gnome Spring Lambs/Sheep precoloured image set behind the front part of the grass, put some foam tape behind it and also glued it on the base shape. I put foam tape behind the butterfly and glued it in place. I used a sentiment from the Lily Bug Ladybird Messages set, because we don’t send Easter cards here in Belgium. I put foam tape behind it and glued it into place. And now I have tot turn my flower shape into a card. I folded a piece of craft cardstock, creating a smal base card. I cut out a circle using a circle die from my stash, but I kept a piece of the fold. That way you get a base card shaped like a circle. I glued this behind my flower shape, and now you’ve got a flower shaped card! Have fun crafting!

Deborah - Hello all! Deborah here, and I am working on more Easter cards for my granddaughters. I just love this Cute Bunny Rabbit Sitting on Easter Egg digi stamp [https://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/cute-bunny-rabbit-sitting-on-easter-egg-digital-stamp-digistamp-for-cards-cardmaking-crafting-and-stickers/] and I know my granddaughter will too. I decided to use a rounded, braided, non-traditional shape that opens on the side, and colored her with alcohol ink markers. This digi stamp is also available in a pre-colored version, if you prefer. I finished the card by adding a sentiment from the Springtime Smiles Sentiment Bundle [https://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/easter-greetings-quotes-and-sentiments-printable-clipart-digital-stamp-digistamp-for-cards-cardmaking-crafting-and-stickers/] and a few embellishments. Listed below are the Copic Alcohol Ink Marker colors that I used to color this digi stamp...

Pam ~ For my card today, I've selected the Special Gift Elephant from Tons of Love Elephant set. I added the 'HUGE wishes' sentiment from the Spring Sentiments set near the balloons before printing and Copic coloring. I selected one of the Polkadoodles Easter Digital paper for the background and the sentiment tag. After mounting the completed image, I added the organza bow and the enamel dots to complete the design.

Naomi - Hi everyone! For this week's challenge, I made a Mother's Day card using the Digi Bunny Rabbit with Mum Greeting Card. This cute little bunny is coloured with alcohol markers and placed on pattern papers from the Gnome trick or treat papers collection. I Love these papers. It definitely can be used for more than trick-or-treat time of year. Thanks so much for reading, and I can't wait to see what you make for us!

Nunzia: When I think of Mother's Day I easily associate a card with flowers. So I colored the bunch of Flower Meadow where the matching cards are also included. To give it more interest, I cut and shimmed some strips from one of the patterned paper and alternated them with others. The sentiment is part of Mothers day messages and sentiments bundle.
RACHAEL - Today I'm sharing this card I made with this cutie. The image is called Bunny with greeting card and what I love about this is the fact there are various versions of Mom, Mum, or a blank card for you to type your own name. this means wherever you are from in the world, you can adapt to whoever you celebrate on Mothers day!


Wendy - Hi everyone! I'm still having so much fun playing with the Tons of Love and More bundle. These elephants are so sweet and adorable. For today's challenge, I used the colors to create a rainbow sunrise sky. I drew in a tree and a branch with leaves for the sweet elephant to relax under. I would love to see all of the wonderful spring cards that you create with these adorable elephants. Thank you for looking!

Janelle - Hello crafty friends! I looove this mama and child and had to use this to celebrate Mother’s Day. 💖🐘🧒🏻. For this card I used Family Love Elephant and sentiments Tons of Love.
Copics used:
  • Mama elephant C00, 0, 1, 3
  • Child elephant N0, 2, 4
  • Nails W00, 0, 2
  • Cheek R01, 11

Let's see the inspiration from the team - we've been creating lots of lovely inspiration for you...


Judy: My DT project for this week's challenge is a rocker style card. I used Love All from the Love Always Printables. The image was colored with Prismacolor pencils and die cut. I printed the "You're my No. 1" sentiment from the Love Always Printable Sentiments Bundle. The patterned paper on my rocker card base is from Christmas Paper Patterns 1. I printed the "Happy Anniversary" sentiment from Love Birds Greetings Valentine and die cut into a tag. A flower and bow were added to embellish.

Renske - Hello everyone! We were asked to create a card with the theme "Shape Up" as a design team. To create the shape of the card, I used the science bottles from the Science/Math/Teacher/Professor/Geek/Student/Chemistry digital stamp bundle. The two bottles form the front and back of the card. I coloured this with my alcohol markers. I used the scientist's digital stamp on the inside of the card. This is the Science/Math/Teacher/Professor/Geek/Student/Chemistry digital stamp. To complete the design, I used two texts from two different sentiment sets. On the front, I have the text "Have a brilliant day".This is a part of the text from the Gnome Men greeting set. The text in the set is "Have a blooming brilliant day". I cut out the word Blooming. I placed this on the green liquid at the front. For the inside, I complete the text with the text oh oh oh, it's magic you know. This is from the Serenity Wishes sentiment set. I hope you like my creation. Happy Crafting.

Sabina - Today I am sharing a mixed media tag using Rainbow Rebel stamp, coloured with Ohuhu markers. The sentiment is part of Winnie Daisy greetings, quotes and sentiments .

ENRICA - Hello everyone! Today I’d like to share with you my teapot using papers and digital stamp from the adorable Bella Bear Morning Coffee bundle, the little “Time for Tea” sticker on the tag is from the Work & Play 12 Design Sheet - Barista girl/coffee/cake/waitress. This teapot is actually a small box (inside there are 4 tea bags), it could be a nice idea for a little gift or a place card. Hope you like it! Xx

Irre - Hi everyone! Today I am sharing a playing card-card using one of my favourite collections - Winnie Wonderland. I love how all the texture and ink turned out on this card...

Deborah - Hello all! Deborah here and I am working on my Easter cards for my granddaughters. They love everything that's cute and pink 💕 and this cute Winnie Easter Bunny definitely hits the mark! For this postage edge, oval shaped card, I selected the un-colored digi stamp Winnie Easter Bunny. I feel in love with this cute little Winnie all dressed-up in her cute little onesie. I decided to color her with alcohol ink markers using a playful rainbow of pastels. This digi stamp is also available in a pre-colored version, if you prefer. I finished the card by adding some printed papers from the Just Lovely Honeypie Printable Paper Bundle, a bow, and some embellishments. Listed below are the Copic Alcohol Ink Marker colors that I used to color this digi stamp.

Tinne - Hi everyone! For this challenge I created a soccer card using the Soccer Football Gnome precoloured image. I glued 2 white rectangle stitched cardstock pieces on top of a slightly bigger white base card. I cut out 2 little tags. One out of navy cardstock, and one out of a paper from the Work & Play Paper Heaven 1 paper pack. I glued them on top of each other, showing just a litte bit of the navy tag. I cut a grass border out of green cardstock, and inked it with Lucky Clover and Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide ink. I sprinkled it with water. Once drie, I sprinkled some Evergreen Bough and Ground Espresso Distress Oxide ink over it. I glued the grass border on the tag, and glued this on the card. I put foam tape behind my gnome image and a sentiment from the Winnie Daisy Greetings, Quotes and Sentiments pack, and also glued them into place. I made a bow out of twine, and glued it on the top of my tag. I hope you like it! Instagram page: Tinne Peeters (@robinette_crafts) • Instagram-foto's en -video's
