So let's see what the Design Team have been making this week...they were asked to make an unusual shaped card...
Betsy - Hello everyone! Hope you are doing well and enjoying the summer! Today I'm sharing an adorable card using: Winnie Sunbathing, Coast Beach Sea Scene and Winnie Starfish Quotes. This came together quickly and turned out so cute! I sized everything in the computer and printed it out onto white cardstock. I used a fancy rectangle die to die cut a card base and a card panel after I had printed the design out. I ink blended the background some so there wouldn't be so much to color. I colored up Winnie in my favorite pink and orange combo after adding coloring to the background and blending out the inking that I did. I die cut the sentiment and colored it orange, edging it with copper ink. After the coloring of Winnie was done, it was time to embellish. I used tiny shell sequins, white Nuvo Drops on the waves and a shimmer pen through-out! And my project was finished! Copic Colors used: W0, W1, W3, W5, C0, C1, C2, R05, R37, R39, R59, YG11, G94, G82, Y02, Y21, Y38, YR12,
YR00, YR02, YR04, RV14, RV29, RV04, RV10,RV06, BV0000, B32, B39, B29, B00, 100,E00,
E02, E08, E31, E35, E40, E43
Kim S - This weeks theme was an unusual shape water/ocean themed(no mermaids) and I immediately went for my favourite girl Winnie. I chose Winnie sitting at the docks edge in a coloured version which i took from one of the many design sheets available in the Starfish and Sandcastles set. So easy and so much fun to design my unusual shaped card around. My digital design papers come from this paper set. I placed a few palm trees which i coloured with my Copic markers and added glitter to for that extra sparkle as my final touch.
Ana - This starfish-shaped mixed media piece is a celebration of sea and sky! I started with plain white cardstock and layered on Distress Oxides in Tumbled Glass, Mermaid Lagoon, and Uncharted Mariner. I added texture with gesso and stenciled bubbles, then built it up with fussy cut elements from the Coral Mermaid printable papers, added ribbons and flowers for depth. Sequins, liquid pearls, and a beautiful sentiment from the same collection—Live in the sunshine, swim the sea, and drink the wild air—tie it all together.

Kaye - There's nothing more unusual than the random shapes of pools - well the non competition/ olympic type of pool anyway. For this week, I decided to make a card shaped like a pool and used the Winnie Starfish/Sandcastles - Flipflops/sandals printable stamp as accents and the "You're Stuck With Me" sentiment which is part of the Honeypie Greetings to compliment a summer lovin' themed card. Using a cutting machine, I cut the card into a "Pool" shape and cut the same shape for the gutters.Then using Ohuhu Markers, I simulated the water pool texture and topped it with a gel pen in white and some parts with Ranger's Glossy Medium to make it appear like the pool is ready to be splashed in. I hope you enjoy this card as much as I enjoyed making it.

Martine - Hello, here is my next card for you. We had to use a unusal shape for this one. I used some digi's for this card...the first is called Winnie Starfish/sandcastles bikini/swimming .The second one is Flip Flops Sandals . And the last one is Suncream . Then i used background papers... Winnie Starfish /Sandcastles paper 2 . And again that text...some are really hilarious... Rebel with attitude snips. Hope you like it!
Ana - Dive into creativity and memory keeping with this ocean-inspired mini album! Each shell-shaped page is cut with my Cricut and lined with a different Coral Mermaid printable pattern paper, bringing under-the-sea vibes to life. It’s ring-bound with my miniCinch and topped off with a glittery cover for that perfect summer and beach sparkle! Instagram: @my.cat.and.crafts Facebook: My Cat and Crafts
Nina - Hello everyone! This week I used one of the scene digis from the store called River and Reeds - these are great if you want to practice colouring backgrounds or adding extra details to a digistamp. I merged it with this cute Beach Inflatable Flamingo Noodle Panda bear
Thanks so much to the team for their GORGEOUS inspiration this week!
