Megan Cooper - Hello! My card today is my first design team contribution, and I am excited to share a triangle shaped card. I used the adorable Honeypie Sweet Flower Bouquet as my focal image. The triangle background features a piece of floral paper from the Just Lovely Honeypie digital papers. The sentiment is one of 31 sentiments in the Just Lovely Honeypie greetings/sentiment bundle. Yes, I said 31! The pack of sentiments has so many versatile sayings in it that will pair well with so many of the sweet digital stamp images. My Instagram: @lazydazestampin

KIM STEWART - Today's Design Team Challenge is Images with flowers and an Unusual Card Shape. For my image I chose one of the Darling Buds girls, called Primrose (bet ya thought I was going to pick Winnie) HA! not this time; much as i wanted to. I didn't use much design paper this time, but what i did chose i changed it's colour and saturation rate because i didn't have any dark blue that would go with my colour scheme on my card. I picked paper from Winnie Starfish and Sandcastles download pack 4.  The colour scheme in the paper pak is more of a turquoise and i changed it to more of a dark blue. I also added more digital flowers from Freddy Fox Ephemera pack . FInally I added some glitter glue to all the flowers to make them sparkly and pretty. What have you been working on this week? We'd love to see what's on your craft table.

Betsy - Hello everyone! Today I'm sharing this 5" x 7" card using the new Daisy Wings Stamp Matchables and the Daisy Dragonfly Stamp Matchables. I stamped out my images and colored them using Copic markers. I used clear glitter paste along with the coordinating stencil for the flowers. I used Stickles on the foremost dragonfly wing. Then I die cut the images using the coordinating dies. I cut my background paper to 4" x 6" and adhered it to my card base. I popped up the dragonfly and flowers with foam tape. I stamped my sentiment right on the base. I added little iridscent gems to the background. And that finished my card!

Copic Colors used: YG01, YG03, YG17, YG67, Y02, Y08, YR24,
E97, RV52, RV06, RV19, RV69, V000, V01, V04, V06, V09,
YG91, YG95, E43,RV10, Y00, B000, BV000, B00, V12

Candace - For today's challenge project, the theme is flowers, use an image with flowers and make an unusual card shape. I made a flower shaped card using the image Sunshine Delight Bouquet and papers from Spring Gnomes.

Jane – I made an anniversary card for one of my brothers using the lovely PERFECT PEONY Digi Deal and a sentiment from WINGS OF LOVE. The numbers I used are from the TONS OF LOVE collection.

Julie Barnes - The challenge this week was for a flower card with an unusual shape, so after searching for templates I came across the instructions for a standing flowerpot card and decided that would be perfect. Having made up the base and insert I stamped out several flowers from the stamp set PDz7452 
SMEDAISDL
Daisy Days and coloured them with some Ohuhu and Copic markers. I stamped the sentiment from the stamp set onto the insert and then started to build up the card with the flowers I had fussy cut out. I finished off by adding a little bling to the centre of a couple of the flowers.
 
I used colours:
Ohuhu: YR030/070/090/110 G130/190 and Copics B00/B02



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 hope you're inspired!...  


Julie Barnes - Here is a card I have made using one stamp set called Great Day Florals PD7148. Such a lovely set and so versatile. The aim was not to use any pinks - that is hard! I started by ink blending a 6 x 6 card base and stamped several of the flowers and elements onto the card and shaded some. I stamped, coloured and fussy cut the larger flower head and toadstool and added to the front of the card to give it some depth. I then used papers fromVintage Candy paper pack PD8004 for the inside of the card, decorated the insert and envelope to math. I used my Faber Castell pencils for this make using the following colours:
  • Cobalt Turquoise • Light Cobalt Turquoise • Emerald Green • Light Green • Light Cadmium Yellow • Light Yellow • Orange Glaze • Cadmium Orange

Betsy - I decided to use the Alcea Hollyhock Flowers for my project. I sized it and printed it out. I used Google Images for color inspiration. Copic colors used: Y00, Y00, Y11, Y21 Y02, R83, YG21, YG11, YG63, YG03, Y19. I fussy cut the image and prepared a white A2 size top folding card base. I used an embossing folder for another white panel that was trimmed 1/2" smaller. I used a sentiment from my stash and popped up the flowers and the sentiment on foam tape. Peachy yellow gems completed my card!

CHRISTIN - For my new card I combined this cute Butterfly Fairy Winnie Daisy with the flowering Helga Hippo Pretty Printable Papers 4. Isn’t it a beautiful match? The Winnie Daisy I get pre-colored so I didn’t have so much more to do for creating this card for a little birthday girl who loves fairies.

Wendy - Hello everyone and happy Digi Choosday - my favourite day of the week ! Today I've made a pretty floral wreath card using the gorgeous pre-coloured flowers and foliage bundle from the Helga Hippo collection. I love the pretty teal and cream flowers and they are really easy to fussy cut out. I've used one of the papers from paper set 1. The sentiment is also from the collection and this is glued to an acetate window so it appears to float. Have a fabulous week ahead! Crafty Hugs x

Maz - for my unusual shaped card featuring an image with flowers, I used my favourite Bella Bear character - Bella Bear Daisy. I coloured her and the flowers using the August Birthstone colours of reds, greens and purples, using Copics. Sentiment is from Winnie Special Moments Quotes. All details can be found on my blog

Maritza: Hello my crafty friends, this is my card for this week, I have used a digital image of Crocus Flower Girls Darling Buds, I painted with colours pencils, digital papers are Eden Collection, I have added some layers with different papers and shapes that I have cut out with basic dies, some flowers and at the top a wax seal lavender colour. Happy Crafting!
Wendy - Hello everyone wishing you all a wonderful week. My simple easel card this week used one of my favourite recent collections - Noodle Panda. Who wouldn't want to receive a bouquet of flowers from this little cutie called Flower Bouquet.  Sending love and crafty hugs.

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!

The background striped pattern paper is from the same set. The star pattern paper is from USA 4th July Celebration and the polka dot pattern paper is from Work & Play 10 Collection.



Jane – For my ‘Back to School’ card I have used this gorgeous girl from the JANUARY COLLECTION, and she is KNOWLEDGE IS EVERYTHING. The background is one of the stunning papers from WINNIE IN WONDERLAND and the sentiment is from WINNIE FRUIT PUNCH.

KIM STEWART - Happy Digi Choosday! I had to pick Winnie riding her little scooter/Vespa from the Daisy Fairy 1 set called Flower Fairy on a scooter. She's so adorable. My papers selections come from the Zodiac set 1 and Wanda Set 3. I added a few jewels and some paper flowers along with a cute little bow to finish off my card.

Wendy - I colored a scene to match this adorable digistamp from the Winnie Special Moments collection. I love this image, he's so cute, he's called Puddle Adventures and is great for any little Boy!

So let's see what the Design Team have been making this week...we hope you're inspired!...  


CHRISTIN B - For my project today I used the Music Record Collector Gnome. I made a simple gift wrap for the concert ticket for my husbands birthday. There for I used a paper bag and pimped it up with this cool digistamp which I colored with my alcohol markers. For the background I used also the Gnome Man Music Printable Paper and the sentiment you rock my world is from the same collection Gnome Men greetings.


Wendy - Hello everyone and happy Digi Choosday! I hope you are having a good week so far. Today I have a birthday card made for a little boy using the super cute Birthday Elephant from the Tons of Love collection. This cutie was coloured with Promarkers and layered onto a simple card panel of papers from the collection along with a sentiment for my sweet elephant to sit on. He's definitely a little Prince for his big day !

Julie Barnes - For this card the challenge was Boys/Men and these are never the easiest to get inspiration for! I used the stamp set PD8146 Ready to Stumble and paper pack PD8194 Cheers & Beers. I made up a card base using a template I made in the shape of a bottle. I gold embossed the top to make it look like a bottle top and then ink blended the background. I cut out a 'label' stamped the glass and added some colour. Made a larger label with one of the papers from the pack and gold embossed the sentiments to match. I then made up a gift tag using the same stamp set and paper pack to make a matching set! Again I used my Faber Castell pencils. Colours used: 105 - 185 - 170- 171 - 112 - 140 - 232 - 231

Maritza: Hello my crafty friends my project for this week:" For Boys or Men" . I made a card using a digital image of Party Little Dude, I painted this image with colours pencils, this papers are digital of collection Work Play 8.

So let's see what the Design Team have been making this week...we hope you're inspired!...  


KIM STEWART - Our challenge this week was all about SHOPPING. Who doesn't love a bit of Retail Therapy? 😉 As well as using a particular colour palette. Of course pastel colours are right up my alley so this was a fun one for me. I choose one of the Ruby girls for my card this week. A bit of layering with using some scrap papers. I made the digi quite large and then fussy cut Ruby out and layered her onto my card front. Paper scrap selections are from the Zodiac paper pack 1 and Lilybug papers.

Betsy - This gorgeous Floral Spray comes from the Blooming Lovely Collection. I printed the image onto glitter watercolor paper. I closely followed the colored version in the Collection for the flowers as I watercolored them, then added more bits of sparkle by using glitter watercolor as accents. I die cut the panel and adhered it to a card base and added tiny iridescent gems!

Martine Bruinings - We all like shopping...isn't it? Well.... shopping is my cardio ! Hahahaha But... i'm certainly hope NOT that this will happen to me when i am old! This lady is a Funny Old Bag named Embarassing Moment ( this is were you can find all the funny old bags lol ) . And i have used Polka papers.. Paper Heaven 4 Horace & Boo . Well, have a nice shopping day...maybe here at Polkadoodles???

Jane – So I completely ignored the colour scheme the team had this week but at least I got the theme right. This is WANDA SHOPPING and I have placed her on a layered background using the FUNKY VORTEX GRID stencil, FUNKY BORDERS stamp set and FUNKY ALPHABET stamp set (all very ‘funky’). The sentiment is from the WANDA MESSAGES & QUOTES.
Candace - I used the image Shopping Rebel Girl with the sentiment from Topper sheet 8 - Shopping Wanda. The pattern papers are from Winnie Daisy Fairy Paper Patterns 2Winnie Daisy Fairy Paper Patterns 2 which matched the color palatte!

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!
