So let's see what the Design Team have been making this week... 

This week we're really excited to announce 2 new Design Team members joining us! Huge welcome to Kaye & KM - welcome ladies, we're excited to see your projects!


KM: For this week’s challenge, I had so much fun creating a card for Father’s Day using the Little Dudes Superhero digital stamp—it’s such a versatile design, perfect for celebrating the everyday heroes in our lives! I cut out the word “DAD” using my cutting machine, added some stenciling with Distress Oxide inks, and finished it off with a touch of sparkle using glitter markers. Then, I added a black cardstock as the base. Since this is giving a comic vibe, it inspired me to go with primary colors to make it pop! To all the amazing dads out there—Happy Father’s Day!

Kaye - For this project, I wanted to commemorate my daughter's dance recital so I decided to make a picture frame making use of the Just Lovely- Honeypie Printable Papers and to accent the frame, I added textures using a gauze sprayed with Distress Oxides, and twisted it some of it to create a flower shape. For the main focal point, I used Dancing Queen Honeypie because she reminds me so much of my daughter in the recital, happy and cute!

Wendy - Hello everyone wishing all a lovely week - we were asked to create a card suitable for Father's Day so I decided to use an image from the very cute Horace and Boo collection to create a fun pop out card. This is Horace and I've coloured him with promarkers. The papers I've used come from the Winnie Daisy Fairy 2 paper bundle 2 and I chose a sentiment from the Gnome Feeding Bird kit. Just a few sequins and some die cut balloons to finish off my more masculine card for today.I love how all of the collections work so well together to create just what you want. Have a fabulous week. Love and crafty hugs Wendy x

Jane – For my card today I have used brown ink through the HEAVENLY CIRCLES stencil onto Kraft card to create a subtle background then added images from the GNOMES FOR MEN collection.

Candace: For today's challenge project, the theme is Father's Day. I used the image Toad-ally Cute Little Dude for my Father's Day card. The pattern paper is from Superhero - Little Dudes and the sentiment is from Gnome Men Greetings.

Thanks so much to the team for their GORGEOUS inspiration this week!

Wanda is colored with Copic markers: 100, G14, RV00, RV02, W4, E11, YR65, Y19, and W15—shopping in style, of course!

  


Megan - Hi! Today I am sharing a simple stepper card featuring this Birthday Wanda digi. I used the Spring into Easter pattern paper for the background layer. I gave the paper an inky edge to help bring it forward. The present is from the Accessories Digital Stamps, there are so many fun digis to use as supporting images. To finish the card I used a bit of a sassy sentiment from Winnie Daisy greetings.

KIM - Look who's making a wish! The theme was all about creating a card with a fold using one of the fabulous Wanda stamps. I had so much fun playing with the adorable Fairy Ballerina Wanda for this one! My paper choices come from the Party Time Paper pack
I incorporated a fun fold to add an extra layer of dimension with a peek-a-boo flap that has a sentiment hiding underneath. I Love playing with interactive cards.

Betsy - Hello everyone! Today I'm sharing Wanda as she strolls through the park sipping her soda! I composed and printed out my card onto white card stock. I also die cut a scalloped rectangle panel of a coordinating color for the very background. I kept the coloring of the background light and the coloring of Wanda brighter. I drew a pencil line between the sentiment and the ground so I would know to end the coloring there. To finish I added a black peel-off to the pencil line. I added Stickles to Wanda's drink, flower and the smaller flower in the background. I also added dots of it to the water and a few around the sentiment. I added Glossy Accents to her shoes. I adhered all the panels onto a white card base and my card was done!

So let's see what the Design Team have been making this week... 


Wendy - Hello everyone and happy Digi Choosday - the best day of the week. Today its all about Coffee and Drinks and my favourite coffee when I was at work was a large skinny latte from a well known outlet so here's my version. I used the very versatile Coffee Tea and Cake collection, resizing the Latte Coffee Cup to fill an A6 card front. I added a couple of the puns to the image before printing out and then coloured with Promarkers. After adhering the image to the card panel I fussy cut out on the right hand side and then added some red check paper to the inside panel. Just a few pieces of card candi, some coffee coloured splatter and a little glossy accents to make the perfect card to send to someone you love. Have a wonderful week. Love and crafty hugs Wendy x

Kassi - I created this cute dinosaur themed card using the Sticks and Bones collection - this is an older collection in the store but I love diving back and seeing all the lovely things I've missed for a long time!...


Linda - Hi! I created this circle card for a star lover - I adore this cute image from the Little Dudes collections - you can also get this as a clear stamp too! 

Jane – This sassy little lady is called WANDA SODA POP and she sits on a heart cut from the WANDA PAPER SET 2. I have surrounded her with die-cut bubbles and added the punny sentiment from the MESSAGES & QUOTES bundle.

Candace: For today's challenge project, the theme is use a pun sentiment that matches the image and coffee/drinks. I used a stencil to create a simple background, then added Sunshine Delight Coffee - Winnie image after coloring her. For the sentiment, I printed out from Winnie Sunshine Delights Sentiments, then die cut out using Posydoodles Rectangle Dies. I added twine and enamel dots to complete this card.

Thanks so much to the team for their GORGEOUS inspiration this week!

Megan - Hi everyone! Today I'm sharing this card I made using this great Burger digital stamp from the Work & Play collection. This is a great digi for any male themed project and so is this collection which features both male and female jobs and hobbies - it's a keeper!

Betsy Hi everyone! Betsy here sharing this really cute card to give to that man who does all things DIY! I used the Painter, Decorator, Decorating Digital Stamp from this great Work & Play collection, and the Let's Hang Out Papers 1 for this project. (there's also a lady version of this stamp, check out the Work & Play series they're great! I layered the paper under the image in the computer, changing the color of the paper. I printed it out and also printed out a strip of another paper that was patterned. I paper pieced this part and it was also the color palette that I would match to. After I fussy cut the wallpaper, I went around it with a black marker. I adhered it into place and then die cut my image with a rectangle die. I colored my image using Copic markers and a few markers from Altenew. After I was done with my coloring I heavily splattered it with matching dye inks and also brushed some on his face and clothing. I adhered this panel to a blue card base and then added Glossy Accents to the paint drips and spots. Copic colors used: E0000, e00, E02, R00, R02, YR00, R20, E30, E31, E33, E35, E37, E15, YG11, YG23, YG03, YG25, YG67, C0, C1, C2, Y21, BV0000, 100.

Wendy - Hello everyone and happy Digi Choosday! Today I have a magical Mermaid card to share made using the fabulous Winnie Mermazingcollection, its such a sweet image called Collecting Shells - something I still love to do at the beach when we visit. I teamed the image with one of the papers and a sentiment from the collection and also added the little pod of dolphins from Coral Mermaidand the seashells from the Starfish & Sandcastles collection, all coloured with Promarkers in fun pastel colours. Have a fabulous crafty week and don't forget to join in the challenge. Love and Crafty Hugs Wendy J. x

While flowers were drying I cut out multiple leave die cuts from Cup of Kindness. Love Heart Die I cut one of those as well. Once everything was cut out and dry I put the card together on a white base.

Jane – My mermaid in a fish bowl is in fact CORAL MERMAID ON THE ROCKS coloured with Copics with a sentiment from the HELGA QUOTES bundle.

Candace - For today's challenge project, the theme is Mermaids and Mermaid colors. I used the image Winnie Mermaid Mermazing - Best Friends image.
