So let's see what the Design Team have been making this week...
Kim S - Today I'm excited to share the three tags I created using the brand new the Buzzy Bee Gnomes Big Kahuna digital download set. I chose 3 of the pre-coloured images which makes creating and crafting so much easier. All the hard work is done for you and is absolutely adorable and so much fun to work with. For these tags, I really leaned into the charming bee and floral elements, combining them with some sweet sentiments. I love how versatile this digital set is, allowing for so many creative possibilities. Especially when using the pre-coloured images.
Kaye - For this challenge, how about an interactive scrapbook layout? Using the Bee Buzzy Flower Digital Stamp and the Flower Rebel Girl both colored with Ohuhu Markers. Cutting out a mason jar and adding a tag for that extra flair. For the water, we just made an upcycled crinkle paper out of tissue paper from a local store and either you insert your photo inside the mason jar or outside, I'm sure this will be a guaranteed hit!

Ana - Layers of love in every pocket! I designed this pretty tag pocket card with my Cricut and filled it with Polkadoodles Happy Cactus Succulent printable papers, floral embellies, pearl sticks, and soft ribbons. The star of the show? A pretty hand-colored digi stamp, Natures Beauty Girl brought to life with markers - popping perfectly against the subtle background. Sweet, soft, and totally handmade with heart!

Ana - Made this sweet Mini Album with Tags using Polkadoodles Happy Succulent Cactus Printable Papers and a sentiment from the Honeypie Greetings pack. I designed the cut file in Cricut Design Space, added solid cardstock for the base and tags, and finished it off with a polkadot ribbon. Quick, cute, and perfect for photos or a fun card!

Terri - I adore colouring this type of theme and decided to make a fun fold card and have the Swimming Coral Mermaid(and a turtle) “floating” on acetate strips. For this you need thick acetate or product packaging. It’s easy to create this style of card base and create it to whatever dimensions you like. Mine is 6x4 1/2 and I started with a 7 "pre-bought card base and then I cut a piece of thick white card stock to 6x4 1/2”. I scored and folded the piece of card every 1 1/2”, so that I had 2 “mountains" to adhere my floating elements too. With the 7” card base I turned it so it was top folding and trimmed it with my guillotine so it was 7x4 1/4, then trimmed the back to 6” tall and left the extra 1” on the front to be scored and folded to be a glue tab to attach my accordion folded card piece on to.
Before printing my mermaid and the background scene, I measured the size of the mermaid so it would fit nicely into the scene, flipped it vertically in Open Office (free version of Word) and copied and pasted so I had 3 mermaids on my horizontal paper sheet. With the ocean background I kept the page in vertical orientation and resized it it 4 1/2 inches wide. I then added a copy underneath but again flipped it horizontally, so that the two scenes, when adhered to the mountain folds of the card base, would look different and create a nice little pocket of ocean for Coral to float in. I also coloured more sand on the scene nearest the back so it would appear slightly taller too.
I used an ocean themed sheet of paper from Coral Mermaid the paper set to mimic water in the background. As the colours in this sheet were a lovely ocean blue and a very pale blue pattern, I made gentle flicks alternating two Copics BG11 and BG32, to make it more cohesive with the scene as I had used those colour when colouring up my scene.
I used a very versatile sentiment from the Coral Mermaid Quotes pack making this card suitable for everything from Birthday's to Graduations to New Jobs!
There are waay too many Copic colours used to list, but I will list those used on the mermaid: skin- E53, E51, E00, R02 & R11 (would usually be E50 for my lightest skin tone but my marker needed refilling); Top & flowers - RV63, V04 & V17; Tail - BG000, BG11, BG32, BG13, BG49, BG09, BV00, V04.
A top tip for you when colouring a scene is to ensure that you use a colour several times, as it helps the scene look more cohesive. This is why I added the two BG colours used in her tail onto the blue paper background.
Thanks for reading my essay (I will have a blog soon and can direct you there for all of the details and process photos lol) and I hope you like my fancy fold Mermaid card. Crafty hugs and I will see you again soon for more crafty inspiration, Terri xx
Nina - I created two floral tags in a romantic shabby chic style. The delicate designs feature two different kinds of poppies from the Blooms 6 Poppy Flower Bundle digistamp set colored in soft rose and warm greige tones. The sentiments °•May your Day Blossom with Happiness •° and °•blooming Beautiful •° are from the °•Spring Flower Mothers Day Friends Greetings Sentiments•° set.
Martine- Let's make a card with flowers....but with a tag to. So, my card is in tag- shape and have a gorgeous digi on it : Poppy Flowers Autumn Fall Fox. I know you have many colored poppy flowers but i wanted mine in that gorgeous red color. I put some red { old } Dutch stamps on it and i had some fake red poppy flowers to put on.
Thanks so much to the team for their GORGEOUS inspiration this week!
