So let's see what the Design Team have been making this week...we asked them to show some inspiration for Mothering Sunday which is coming up in the next couple of weeks here in the UK...

We are thrilled to introduce our newest team member Åsa who joins us this week - we love her projects so make sure you follow her on social for lots of inspiration (and everyone else on the team too!)

Åsa -Hi everyone! It´s my first post here and I´m so excited! I love CAS style as you will see. For this card I used Flower Bouquet - Winnie Sugar Sprinkles Spring digi stamp. I colored my image with copics. The two sentiments come from Spring Flower Mother´s Day Friends greetings sentiment. Hugs, Åsa x


Candace - For today's challenge project, the theme is Mother's Day-UK and make anything. I made this card using Watercolour Flower Stem Kit. It comes with black & white image, pre-colored image, 2 sentiments and 6 printable papers. I copic colored the black & white image and used 3 of the printable papers. The sentiment I used is from Mother's Day Messages.

KIM STEWART - Happy Digi Choosday! How are we working on Mother's Day already(didn't we just have Christmas) :-) For our Design Team Project this week it's all about Mother's Day (U.K's version holiday) And i chose Winnie(of course) I picked Winnie Daisy Dance Fairy.  :-) I coloured Winnie with my Copic Markers in peaches and reds. I really love how she turned out and I didn't pick lilac or purple this time.I picked papers in the same colour scheme from Wings of Love digital paper pack 4,  Tons of Love digital paper pack 2 and lastly Honey Pie Just Lovely  .Finally a few Mulberry Flowers (it's a spring card after all) to finish off my card. What have you been working on this week? Don't forget to enter this weeks Digi Choosday Challenge!


Jennifer - Hi everyone! Today I made a floral card using this great Blooms 5 Tulip Peony Flower digital stamp from the Blooming Lovely collection. I layered up the digistamp to create an allover pattern in MS Word (you could also use Canva which is free) and then coloured it with copic markers.


Betsy - Hello everyone! Bringing a little sparkly goodness in the middle of winter! I've used the Butterfly Flower Pots to create this card. I printed it on thin (90lb) watercolor paper. I colored the images with Copic markers and then highlighted the lines within the images with glitter watercolor paint. I added little mirror gems here and there and diecut the panel with a die from my stash. I mounted the colored panel onto periwinkle glitter stock and then adhered to a white A2 size top folding note card. A perfect touch of sparkle
for these cold gray days of February!

CHRISTIN - I feel like spring and so I had to work with light colors for my next card for the new DigiChoosday Challenge. I have chosen a yellow flower paper from the Watercolor flower stem collection. In front of it I layered the Daisy Dance Flower Fairy which I colored with my alcohol markers. With the sentiment it’s a perfect card for mothers day.

Wendy - Hi everyone I hope that you are all well. Today I'm here to share a card that I've made that would be perfect to send for Mother's Day, especially to let someone know that you care about them...Mothers Day can be a difficult time for many of us. It's a simple thinking of you card using a gorgeous image from the January collection. This sweetheart is Glass Half Full coloured with Promarkers. I've created a simple popup card from teal cardstock and combined this with dotty papers from the Happy Cactus collection. The sentiment which I have foiled is from the Honeypie Just Lovely greetings bundle

 Maritza: Hello my crafty friends, for my Mother's Day project this week, I used an image from a collection  Ruby Boho Chic.  I Painted with colours pencil. Papers are digital of collection Spring in to The Easter Set 1. Sentiments are Winnie Sugar Sprinkles Spring collection.


Maz - For my Mother's Day project, I created this centre stepper card featuring the beautiful Bluebell Flower Girl from Darling Buds Collection. I decided to use the pre-coloured version, copied 3 times, and enlarged 2 of the characters, then cut out the bluebells for decoration. The sentiment is from  Spring Flowers Mother's Day Friends Sentiments. All details can be found on my blog.

Nat Martin - This time I have created a XL special tag with lot of color and lots of love :) I found marvellous the digital papers included with the stamps....so so beautiful!!!!!

Jane –This gorgeous duo is called TWO HEARTS, from the TONS OF LOVE ELEPHANT COLLECTION, and they are sat amongst the blooms of the PRETTY FLOWER WREATH DIGI DEAL dreaming of Spring. I coloured everything in pencil and added the ‘Happy Anniversary’ from the LOVE BIRDS GREETINGS BUNDLE.

Candace - For today's challenge project, the theme is Spring Flowers, use grey, blue, lilac and green colors. I used the printable card kit, Flower Meadow, which comes with 5 different pattern papers, 4 sentiments and black & white and colored flower image. Was really quick to make this cute card!

KIM STEWART - Happy Digi Choosday! Spring flowers is our theme this week. I chose the Perfect Peony digi for my Design Team project. I coloured two versions of the digi; one just a smidge smaller than the other so i could pop up the flower to give the image some depth. I coloured the digis with my Copic markers, and added some glitter glue for sparkle. My paper selections come from Wanda Set 3  and also Winnie Starfish and Sandcastles paper pack 10 - Have a crafty week!


Jennifer - Hi again crafty friend! For this weeks project, I've made a floral card that could be used for many occasions. I started by printing one of the flower clusters from Polkadoodles "Alcea Hollyhock Flowers" digital bundle. One great thing about digital stamps, is the fact that you can print in any size. I chose to make my image about 3½x5", and quickly cut it out with my cricut, using the 'print then cut' feature. 

I colored in my image using alcohol markers. I used a range of violet shades to give the flowers lots of depth, and stuck with traditional greens for the buds and foliage. I also added some clear and yellow starburst glitter pens to the flower centers, to add some shimmer and shine.

Now I needed something to add my focal point to... I printed a beautiful blue pattern paper that was included in the "Alcea Hollyhock Flowers" bundle, but I needed something to bring focus back to the flowers. So i cut an oval and a scalloped frame out of white cardstock to layer everything.
I still needed a sentiment, so I used my cricut again, to write "today is special because YOU are in it". Which is a sentiment from the "Gnome for Spring" digital sentiments.
Now I can assemble everything. I decided on a light Grey A2 cardbase to help the scalloped frame pop, and it matches the sentiment. I used a tape runner to adhere down the scalloped frame, then the blue pattern paper, and then the oval. A bit of liquid glue attached the alcea image, and I popped up the sentiment with some tiny foam dots. I finished it off with a few iridescent flatback pearls to add a little extra something, and help fill any empty space.
This card isn't in my usual "cutesy" style, but I'm really happy with how it came out. I think the sentiment makes this card good for birthdays, valentines, mothers day, just because, and more. It's a great one for the stash... I hope you like it as much as I do. And I hope you get to have some crafty fun today. Have a creative day! ♥️Jennifer S. @pueen_queen

Huge thanks to the design team for all their inspiration today - we hope we've given you lots of ideas to use in your own cards - remember! We LOVE you to copy the ideas we show you, it's what we're here for!

So let's see what the Design Team have been making this week...we asked them to show some inspiration for food and drink themes...

Irre - Hello everyone. Today I'm sharing a Valentine’s Day card created with the digital stamp Gnome much love. I colored the stamp with Copic alcohol markers and cut the stamp out. For the background, I stamped it and colored it in with Distress ink. I also ripped the edges of the paper. I decorated the card with die-cut out flowers and a heart swirl. I also added a sentiment from Love always sentiment set.My social links: https://www.facebook.com/scrapbyirre, Instagram: @scrapbyirre

CHRISTIN My card for today is very clean and simple to draw the focus on this beautiful cupcake. For the background I used a die for making a quilt design. The cupcake I colored with alcohol markers in pastel colors.

Maritza -

Wendy - Hello everyone I hope you are having a great week - have you made your valentines cards yet ? Here's an idea for a sweet card using one of the cute Noodle Panda digital stamps, Ice Cream Sundae, coloured with my Promarkers but you could easily use one of the pre-coloured images. I added a small strip of digital paper from the collection from set 2 before printing out my image and colouring. The sentiment is from the Love Always Collection, paper set2 Happy Valentines everyone xxx

Monika - Hello all amazing crafters, it's Monika with a super sweet Valentine's card. For my Sweet Treat I used Cherry Cream Cupcake digi stamp that I absolutely love and you can use it for a lot of different occasions. For the backgrounds I chose two gorgeous design papers from Winnie Celebrations 1 collection and they are just perfect for Valentine's Day, the sentiment comes from Love Birds Greetings. I hope you will have fun creating your Valentine's Card using these collections. https://www.instagram.com/quillinglady/ https://www.youtube.com/craftingwithquillinglady



Nat Martin - This time I made a slim card and for this I selected 3 digital stamps - Waffle Cream Cupcake, Coffee and Cake Digital Papers and the Wings of love greetings sentiments - hope you like it!
