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

Wendy - Hello everyone and happy Digi Choosday! It's time for a little more inspiration for the current challenge - this week we were asked to make a card/project with flowers using the colour orange.....not my normal go to colour but it's so warm vibrant and I think we are all ready for some warm summer sunshine in the Northern hemisphere..... So here's my card using one of the fabulous Darling Buds - this is the pre-coloured Marigold, printed out and then I've used my Polychromos to boost the orange tones on the image before fussing cutting out. The background paper is from the Freddy Fox collection, printed out after colourising on my computer and I've added a sweet Spring sentiment from the Darling buds collection too. Wishing you all a wonderful week of crafting...love and hugs Wendy J. x

Renske - Hi everyone! I'm excited to share my latest Mother's Day card creation featuring the adorable Bunny Rabbit with bunch of flowers digital stamp from Polkadoodles. Using my alcohol markers, I coloured this sweet image with a palette of purple, pink, yellow, and white tone. The background showcases a dreamy blend of Picked Raspberry distress ink with floating hearts, while layered grass details add depth to the scene. The sentiment "picked just for you" from the Spring Flower Mother Day friends greetingsset perfectly complements the bunny proudly displaying its bouquet. Happy Crafting! My Instagram: @renske.wishes.you Facebook: Renske.wishes.you

Christin - For my new card this week I used the beautiful precolored Butterfly Flowerpots for spreading some springtime vibes. Are you ready for spring like me? The digistamp can be used in so many different ways, I used it to make a card to say thank you.

Leah - Hello friends, I am back today to share another sweet, sweet stamp and die set from the new Sweet Moments Collection by Polkadoodles. This stamp set is called Hello it's Me and includes this cute bear and frame. I've paired this image with some paper and stamps from the Pretty Flowers Collection: Thanks a Bunch stamp, Hello Pretty stamp, and Pretty Colourful Paper...as well as some of the new chipboard embellishments from Sweet Moments Collection! Wow, that seems like a lot, lol, but it all came together perfectly!

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

Megan - The design assignment was Cake! I decided to go with Birthday - Wanda and her scrumptious cake using a version of the Spotlight Technique and used these Accessories Digital Stamps. I gave Wanda a candle background to give the card a bit more interest and the Happy Birthday sentiment from Winnie Daisy greetings. The cake is colored with Copic markers and for the frosting layers I used a stippling technique. This card is simple, but I hope it accomplishes its purpose and makes you think, yum CAKE!

Copic Colors used:

Cake Layers: BG45, B53, BG13, BG32, BG34

This weeks Design Team theme is all about birthday cake. This birthday card features a Winnie Daisy Fairy digi stamp called Birthday cake Flower Fairy from the Winnie Daisy Fairy ll line. We were asked to create our design around a soft pastel colour palette which is where I LIVE with most of my cards. I included a party hat and balloon die cuts for some added interest. My digital paper selections come from Wings of Love pack 3 as well as Wanda paper pack 3.

Betsy - Hello everyone! Today I'm sharing these adorable 2 friends ice skating. I've used the Ice Skating Snowman & Bear and the Icy Winter Papers Set 1 for my project. I printed out the image that was set it on the paper. I die cut a panel to fit my A2 card base. I colored my images using Copics. Colors used: B0000, B00, Blender, E30, E31, E35, E08, R81, R83, R85, RV10, RV25, B41, B02, B05, V01, V12, V17, YR15, YR04, YR07, G21, G02, G14, C1, C3, C5.

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

Wendy - Hello everyone I hope you are having a lovely week - it's time for some more inspiration for the Digi Choosday blog and this week we were asked to make something for Mother's Day but NOT a card...Hmm that got me thinking!I decided to create a little home decor piece as I know this is something that my Mum would have absolutely loved to hang up. I started with a small 5" wooden embroidery hoop, stretching cream fabric across this before coating with gesso to give a nice base to work on.

Next, I printed out the Pretty Flower Wreath digi deal once onto thin card and again onto vellum, die cutting out the card image and adhered this to the hoop using Mod Podge and then fussy cutting out the vellum flowers and butterflies adhering these with 3D glue gel. Finishing touches were some super sparkly crystals and purple twine to hang the finished piece. Love and crafty hugs.

Wendy xx

Christin - For upcoming Mother's Day I made some different paper rosettes. They are versatile, you can use them as plugs, pendants or embellishments for gifts or cards or something like that. For decorating them I used the beautiful pre-colored Darling Buds, the Daffodil, the Hyacinth and the Primrose flower girl . I made the rosette for each girl from cardstock in a matching colour. Finally I used some sentiments from the Tons of Love greetings collection.

Leah - Hello my friends! I am sharing a card today that I created using the Thinking Rebel digital image from Polkadoodles. I coloured this image using my Prismacolor Premiere Pencils and layered it on some digital paper from the Winnie Special Moments Paper Heaven 4 collection. I created the sentiment with my Cricut Joy. I love how bright the colours on her turned out!

Kerri - Hello today I am sharing a bookmark I made using the digital stamp called Flower Fairy Sitting On A Toadstool. Image was printed onto card stock colored with Faber Castell Polychromo Pencils. I also used the Physical Stamp sets called Special Times and To Gnome You Is To Love You. I stamped the background trimmed the image and put all of it together.

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 - I had a blast designing a card around the oh so cute Bobby Bear with Heart Bunting (precoloured ) , and guess what he is a precolored image! It is amazing how quick a card can be completed when the coloring is already done. I paired Bobby with Love Birds Valentine printable paper to create a sweet Valentine Slimline card. I added a sentiment from Winnie Daisy greetings quotes to finish off this delightful card.

Kim S - Hard to believe January is over and were into February already. Didn't we just do christmas? 😂For our Design Team project this week we were given animals and use a coloured image plus include a bow, piece of ribbon etc as our launch pad.

Being as Valentine's Day is just around the corner I chose one of the wonderfully cute Wings of Love digital images called Wings of Love Bird Balloons and my digital paper design also comes from the Wings of Love lineup called Love Birds digital paper pack 2 download. 

I printed out my coloured digital image and layered it ontop of two mini envelopes i created. I added a sentiment from another bundle called Love Always into one envelope and created a tag to write sweet nothins' on into the other envelope.

Betsy - Hello everyone! Betsy here today sharing a card that is so easy! I've used the Parkie Polar Bear & Theo Penguin Clip Art and a sentiment from that set as well. It's already colored. I placed it over a paper from the Theo Penguin Icy Winter Papers Set 1. I blurred the edges of that background paper and then printed out the image. I die cut it as well as a piece of background paper and adhered both to my A2 size card base. For added sparkle and shine I used Iridescent Contour Paste for the snow, Stickles in 2 colors and aqua gems. And my card was done! I hope you give this adorable card a try! Til next time...Betsy IG: @betsybirgeart

Jenny D - To sugar coat someone's day I used the adorable digi pre-colored Scruff Dog from Polkadoodles. I just want to snuggle up to this adorable dog and eat some cookies with him! The background paper came from the digi Polkadoodles Winnie Daisy Fairy Paper Patterns 2 and the sentiment came from PolkadoodlesPancake and Waffles greeting bundle 2. I used some ribbon and hearts from my stash to complete the design. I'd love for you to follow me on Facebook and Instagram as Crafting with Jenny

Candace - For today's challenge project, the theme is Animals, use a pre-colored image and use ribbon, bow, string or twine on card. I used the pre-colored image Bobby Bear with Hearts Bunting as the main image of my card. The sentiment is from Love Always and the pattern papers are from Lily Bug Ladybug papers 3. I tied white twine around top of card before adhering to card base. I also used Stitched Circles Dies for the circle.

Martine - Hello you all, Martine here with a new card. Because easter is coming i made you a eastercard with Winnie easter bunny ears. I Finished it off with a little bow . And some of those cute ... sometimes sassy words...Rebel with attitude easy snips .

Jane – This gorgeous precoloured image of HELGA HIPPO is certainly SITTING PRETTY on top of this amazing BIG HUGS DIE SET. The backing paper is from the DEVINE HEARTS PAPER PAD and I have added a sweet bouquet of flowers using the CUP OF KINDNESS DIE.

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