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!

So let's see what the Design Team have been making 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! 

Kim S Hey everyone! So father's day is coming up really soon on 15th June and here's some inspiration for you this week! This card is made using this great bundle from the Gnome's for men collection - a ton of great male themes with allsorts of occasions you would need...

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. Altenew markers: C007, C005, B526 (these were used for the teal color).

Martine - Hello, this weeks challenge theme is...Fathers day ! Well...that was hard for me because my father passed away 11 years ago.

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

Kerri - Today I am sharing a card I made using Hey Lovely, Love Heart Die and Cup of Kindness Die. I stamped multiple images of the flowers I then colored them with Inktense Pencils. 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. The background pattern paper is from Mermazing Mermaid Printable Papers. Before I printed out the paper, I added the sentiment in the upper right corner which is from Winnie Mermazing Mermaid Quotes.

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

Megan - I had so much fun creating this card! The Alcea Hollyhock Flowers image is wonderful to color, I went with pinks but the color combos are endless. I think the next time I color this resizable image from Alcea Hollyhock Flowers I will do a blend of purples and blues. Now I will be honest, I did not realize this file was abundle until I opened it, I forget to read the fine print some times. That just means it is super easy to pull a card together with coordinating papers and sentiments. This digi bundle will make fantastic Mother's day cards or cards for special people in your life.

Copic Colors Used:

Leaves: YG97, YG93, YG95, YG03

Hollyhock: R00, R01, YR16, RV23, RV06, R43, RV25

Betsy - Hello everyone! Betsy here today sharing this sweet Gil Bunny Rabbit Gardening digital stamp with 2 of the Pretty Spring papers! I printed out the stamp on top of one of the papers, plus an extra piece of the green patterned papers. I die cut the green with a grass border die and inked it. I colored Gil - so cute and easy - and made sure the panel would fit in the frame of yellow card stock that I die cut. I put in shaker fill on the colored panel and then laid my frame that had acetate on it, over it. I used a foil sentiment from my stash and a few jelly hearts. I put peel-offs on the frame and mounted the shaker panel on my yellow card stock card base.

Copic colors used: YG11, YG63, YG67, RV000, RV10, RV23, Y11, Y21, Y38, B12, B32, B00, B24, W3, W1, YR12, YR14, YR18, E30, E34, E23, E97, E33, E31, E35, E37

Til next time... Betsy

Martine Hey there... I'm back with a Mothers day card today made with a lovely flower girl named Crocus flower girl . From the Darling Buds. There are more flower girls!... so go check the shop! I colored her purple , with my distress inks . Isn't she gorgeous? And look at those matching text, that is from this bundle : Spring Flower Mothersday Friends Greetings . Printed it on colored paper.. that gives a nice touch. And i accidently had crocus dies in the house...lol. So they match perfectly!

Kim S - Fluttering off my desktop today for our design team challenge this week its all about Mother's Day and In the Garden. I had to pick Winnie as I've been missing her as of late.

I'm so excited to share my latest card I created using Winnie from the Daisy Fairy ll collection. There's so many different images. Especially for birthdays, Easter, spring related and of course Mother's Day. I picked my decorative paper selection also from Winnie Daisy Fairy ll paper pack 2 . This sweet card is coloured in a soft pastel palette with a garden of delicate paper flowers surrounding Winnie. What's your favourite embellishment to add to your cards? I love using the mulberry paper flowers on my cards; especially with Winnie. The flowers add extra texture and dimension without taking away from the main image; in this case sweet Winnie.

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