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

Jane – Today my card does not use any digital images (although it could be achieved by using any of the amazing floral digis in the store HERE) but clear stamps from the THANKS A BUNCH set.

Leah - Yes, it's still April! That means I have another project to share with you today the Just My Type metal die set from the Polkadoodles' Sweet Moments Collection. I created a larger piece this time, using a full sheet of the Pretty Colourful papers as the main background. I also used the chipboard embellishments and the Scallop Rectangles and Tags die set from the Sweet Moments collection!

Adam - I find the Polkadoodles sentiment dies to be versatile and easy to customize by cutting die cut into pieces as I did for this card. I used the hearts and the first line of the sentiment to create a clean and simple card. The background of the cutout square is made with Polkadoodles paper with watered down white gesso spread over it. Finally, I added the sentiment and hearts to complete the card.

Products: PD8870 - Love you a Latte dies, PD8858 - Devine Hearts paper

Wendy J - Hello everyone I hope you are having a lovely week so far. This week the team was asked to create a thank you card but not a square or rectangular one so I decided to create a circular rocker card - these are so easy to make and perfect for lots of styles. When you need a quick but beautiful card then the pre-coloured images are just the thing - I have used the Perfect Peony digi deal, resizing it to fit my circular card and printing out 3 times. The sentiment is from the Honey pie Just Lovely greeting bundle. I fussy cut the extra flowers, adhering with foam tape over the base layer to add dimension to the card along with some fluffy flower soft in the centres and sparkly rose confetti. What could be simpler than beautiful flowers to say thank you? Love and crafty hugs Wendy J

Kerri - Hello there! do you love Kraft Paper? I am sharing a card I made using the super cute Do Small Things with Love stamps and dies. I stamped images onto white card stock cut them out with Outline dies. I used Prisma Pencils to color images and then put everything 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... 

Leah - Spring is coming, can you feel it yet? It is not quite here yet, but I am wishing Spring here with this fun card using the Cup of Kindness metal die set, along with the Awesome Greetings Sentiments stamp and the Pretty Colourful paper...all from Polkadoodles!

Megan - Easter and glitter go together! For my project today I am sharing a card that features the Cute easter egg basket filled with flowers and eggs. The basket is paper pieced using Paper set 3 Spring into Easter, the brightness of the orange spoke to me and I am glad it did, it worked out so well. I used another piece of this fun pattern paper for my card base layer and to back the Easter Sentiment from Spring into Easter messages. If you start your Easter cards now you will be ready in time.

Copic colors used:

Eggs: RV66, V05, V09, YR15, YR16. YR14, YR07, YR68, YR04, Y38, R30, R43, R22, R32

Grass: G17, G14, G03, YG07

Flowers: Y35, Y19, Y18, Y13, Y15, E37, E59, E99

Kim S - Hop Into Easter with these two adorable cards I created using the digis called Happy Easter Banner Gnome from the Gnome for Easter download set and Bunny Rabbit with Bunch of Flowers from the Springtime Smiles set I used lots of spring colours yellows, purples and pinks in creating my cards. My paper choices come from Boo Halloween and Gnome Trick or Treat paper packs. Some glitter glue for that added touch of sparkle to finish off my cards.

Betsy - Spring is nearly here and the flowers are going to be blooming everywhere! For my card project I've used the Alcea Hollyhock Digital Stamp Set. I love this flower and decided to paper piece it. I printed out my design on white card stock, a piece of copy paper and 2 different shades of pink. I colored the leaves with markers and then fussy cut the flowers from the patterned paper. I adhered the flowers to the panel right over where they were printed. I die cut my panel and put it on a card base that was covered in green cardstock. I added shading to the flowers from the centers out to give them a bit of dimension. Then colored the stamen with a gold metallic pen. I computer journaled my sentiment and die cut it into a strip and trimmed off the ends. I popped that up on a foam strip. I added tiny gemstones to the background and that finished my card!

Supplies used:

Alcea Hollyhock Digital Stamp

White A2 size card base

White and green card stock

Fancy rectangle die

Gold metallic pen

Thin foam tape strip

Tiny Gemstones

Copic colors: R81, R83, R85,

Jennifer Driesch - Bring a touch of cheeky charm to your Easter creations with the Polkadoodles Cheeky Chick. This adorable digi stamp pairs perfectly with the digi Pretty Spring Paper Collection, where delicate flowers and vibrant eggs come together beautifully through paper piecing. Top it off with a heartfelt touch using the digi Easter Greetings Sentiment Set, perfect for adding warmth and joy to your holiday projects.

I used Copic Markers: Y15, Y13, YR21, YG13, YG25, YR04

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 Easter and add paper piecing. I made this Easter carrot box and added the image Winnie Easter Bunny to the front. I paper pieced the big flower, bow and tag and then pop dotted them up. The pattern paper is from Work & Play.

Jane – My Easter card is cut from arch shaped dies and features this fabulous gnome called FLOWER BUNCHES. I have added paper-piecing to him using a sheet from the CELEBRATIONS PAPER PAD and the sentiment is from EASTER GREETINGS.

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... they were asked us use leaves and bear on their projects...

Wendy L - Hi there! We were asked to make something with leaves and a digi of a bear so I created and coloured this scene using Noodle Panda with Watermelons and this great 'Park'  colouring scene in the store...

Wendy J - Hello everyone I hope you are having a great week - It's time for some more inspiration for our current 4 week Digi Choosday Challenge and this week the team was asked to create something with a Panda or a Bear and include leaves.

I couldn't resist using my favourite Noodle Panda - who can resist him.... he's such a cutie. I decided to use the Noodle Hanging on a tree branch image, coloured with my Promarkers and fussy cut out and create him an aperture to hang in amongst lots of leaves. Its a simple pop-up frame card layered with papers from Noodle Panda paper set 3 and behind the aperture there is a leafy paper from the Freddy Fox Collection. The two sentiments are from the Noodle Sentiment bundle and I have foiled these in gold honeycomb foil. Finishing touches were lots of leave die cut from green card stock. There are more details over on my blog - have a lovely week xx

Christin - I've made a sweet card using the Bella Bear Daisy digi

Kerri - I've made this sweet card using the Love Heart Die here and the Hey Lovely stamp set

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... 

Candace - For today's challenge project, the theme is use unicorns and anything but a card. I made this tag gift card holder using the image Camera Shy 2. The pattern paper is from Spring Gnomes and the sentiment is from Everyday Greetings and Quotes.

Jane – This sweet little unicorn, CAMERA SHY 2, is standing on a flower from the EVERY WISH IN THE WORLD stamp set. The butterfly is also from this set (it is out of stock in the store right now but you can get it from HobbyMaker HERE) and I coloured them all with Copics.

Megan - Today's project is a Birthday countdown calendar for my little one, the child loves unicorns. I added Special Time - Sparkle Unicorn digi stamp as the focal point to mark her Birthday. I added images from Accessories Digital Stamps to make the calendar page festive, I used 9 of the 40 images in this Digi set to make that happen. I wanted to have the calendar page matted and used a piece of Eden - Paper Heaven Plain Jane 5 for the first layer and added a black layer behind that to help the calendar stand out. After I was finished with the calendar, my little one asked if I could print another so she could color it. I will know for next year. Just create the design and give it to her to color. I think this is a fun idea, and you can make any theme using Polkadoodles images.

Kim S - Beginning to look a lot like spring....nah just joking....Stlll winter here 😉 For my Design Team Challenge project this week with the theme Unicorns and Not a card I chose to create artwork for the wall. Sparkle the Unicorn was coloured with Copic markers and i added touches of Glitter glue to give her lots to sparkle about. I chose Sparkle Special Time and Sparkle Hooray .Finally some sweet pastel flowers to decorate the frames with and add a bit of whimsy to finish them off.

Betsy - Hello everyone! Betsy here bringing you this sweet but sick unicorn. I decided to make the image go on an envelope instead of a card. I printed out my image and die cut it with a square die. I colored my image in a rainbow style. Once I was done, I edged that panel with holographic peel-offs. I also cut a pink panel of paper and a piece of holographic paper and layered all on my envelope. I made a panel to go inside with a message using more of the holographic paper, a pink patterned paper and postage stamp dies. I added sparkly flowers to this card and on the front of the envelope I used some clear pink hearts. And this project was finished!

Copic colors used: B000, Y00, Y02, YG11, YG03, YG01, B32, B23, V01, V04,

YG 63, YR00, Yr02, R81, R83, R85, RV10, B05, V05, Y15, C1

Til next time...Betsy

Martine Bruinings - I used the Sparkle Unicorn bundle to decorate this gift bag, hope you like it!

Jenny - I'm stopping by today to share this adorable gift bag I made using the Special Time-Sparkle Unicorn digital colored stamp and Rainbow Paper from Polkadoodles. I love having digital stamps and papers so you can resize your image to the perfect size for your project. I'd love for you to follow me on Facebook and Instagram as Crafting with Jenny.

Leah - Hello everyone, it's Digi Choosday again so grab those bargain downloads! Today I'm sharing this card I created using the Sweet Moments collection, I love this dog with his bone phone!

Wendy - Hello everyone I hope the week is going well - time for a little inspiration for the current challenge on the Digi Choosday blog. I have to say I love making Slider cards so when Nikky asked us to make an Easter slider I was so happy and I hope you like it and will give it a go too. They are so easy to create! I have used the Eggcited chick image from the Spring into Easter collection, coloured with promarkers and fussy cut out. The card base was decorated with a couple of papers from the collection and I die cut the word Easter for the inside of the slider mechanism. The extra little sentiment is from the Springtime Smiles collection as I thought it was perfect for the image. I hope you have a fantastic week .... love and hugs x

Christin- Hello, today I made this slider card using this cute spring image from the Gnome for Easter collection...

Kerri - I've been busy coloring this cute puppy stamp this week. I added this lovely border from the Scallop frames dies, and a gorgeous paper from the Devine paper pack. You can get the stamps and dies here...see you next time!

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