LATEST RELEASES - SHOP HERE...


So let's get to today's inspiration... this week the team were asked to create something with an Autumn/Fall theme - let's see what they made for us!... 

Merja - On this card I used Cordelia Witch image and text from Boo Halloween Sentiments bundle. I coloured the image with alcohol markers and some white gel pen. Then I used Distress Ink and Spider Web Halloween stencil to create the spider webs before taping the printed image on the purple and orange card board...

PamI've selected Winnie Wednesday Pumpkin as my main image and have added several others to build this fall scene. I pulled in the "basket of apples"  and the background 'tree' from the Autumn/Fall Digi Mono Stamp set.  For the matting, I used Polkadoodles the Colour of Spring paper pack and the  tags are from the Polkadoodles Winnie Wednesday Halloween Trick or Treat Sentiment pack. Lastly, I added the orange variegated twine at the card fold and knotted at the top right adding a small spider web charm to complete the card design.

Nunzia: My card today shows typical autumn shades for both this cute Wìnnie flower Fairy  and a bunch of sunflowers of Blooms 3 Flower bundle in the background. The paper comes from Just Lovely Honey's bundle, while the sentiment is included in Winnie celebrations 2 sentiments.

Ariadna - I used this cute scarecrow with these other digital stamps from this great Autumn printable collection...
Rachael - Its almost Autumn, can you believe it?  Time to start and think about cards for the colder months and to get ahead I made this card for Halloween.  This fellow is called  Frankenstein boo but don't just think about Halloween - he would make a perfect birthday card for those little monsters in your life too.  The background papers are also from Paper heaven Halloween/Autumn bundle 2...
Kim Simpson - I had lots of fun creating this Autumn card using the Eli Elephant digital stamp - he's so cute clearing all those leaves!
Gaby - This lovely image is called Well Hello from the Winnie collection...I coloured her with autumn tones and added a few die cut leaves...
Great projects to help inspire you this week! Big thanks to the team!

So let's get to today's inspiration... this week the team were asked to create something with an Autumn/Fall theme - let's see what they made for us!...

  Judy: My DT card for this week is floral themed. I've used one of the images from Blooms 3 Flower Bundle. I colored the digi with Prismacolor Pencils and fussy cut. The card base was die cut. I splattered a little watercolor onto the white background. The sentiment is stamped using Sweet Birthday 4x6" Clear Stamp Set.


Jo LavertyAnother challenge is upon us and I tried to do something a little different to my normal style and create something with more of a mixed media feel to it. To create this card, I embossed 3 flowers from the 'Flower Power 1' stamp set using a white embossing powder and then placed a mask over to ink blend the background. For the background, I chose contrasting distress ink colours that would blend well together to create a rainbow of colours. Once the background was complete, I removed the masks and coloured in the images with alcohol markers. I inked up some splatters and sentiments taken from the 'Time to Bloom' stamp set, and finished off the card with some glitter dots to add some much needed sparkle.
SarahI wanted to create a stained glass window style effect for this card, so I heat embossed the gorgeous large image from the Thinking of You Blossom Stamps onto vellum, and coloured it with my alcohol markers. I then used the largest of the squares from the Posydoodles Basic Square dies to create a large aperture in my card to fit it into. It looks so pretty with the light coming through!
ENRICA - For this week's challenge the DT was asked to make an unusual card shape using flowers. I decided for a rocker card using the super sweet Winnie Surprise Gifts digi stamp and fussy cut several precoloured flowers from Winnie Fruit Punch Blooms BundleThe sentiment is from Winnie Fruit Punch Word Art Bundle.
Donna Parrott Hi Guys, for this weeks flower theme I decided to use the Blooms 6 Poppy Bundle which features a selection of Poppy images along with papers and sentiments. I used heart shaped dies from my stash to mat and layer the base, then I added a sentiment from Spring Gnome Sentiments and some crystal embellishmentsVisit my blog for a step by step! 
NataliaHello everyone, I've prepared for today just a simple card with  beautiful flowers from the Just a Little Note Blossom Flowers stamp set. I painted them with watercolour paints. The background is just a little painted and splashed. That's it!




Great projects to help inspire you this week! Big thanks to the team!

So let's get to today's inspiration... this week the team were asked to create something with an Autumn/Fall theme - let's see what they made for us!...


Merja - I wanted to make a simple and cute Halloween card. Firstly I made the background - I stamped some ghosts from Scary Boo stamp set using embossing ink and bats from Grab Your Broomstick stamp set with black ink. Then I stamped more ghosts to white card board, cut them with Scary Boo Matchables die set and taped them to the background with foam tape. Lastly I stamped and heat embossed the trick or treat text (from Scary Boo stamp set) and taped it to the background.

Pam ~ Today I'm sharing Pandora the Halloween Witch who's looking for the way to the Halloween Candy through the foggy Dusty Concord Distressed Oxides. The full moon made with Squeezed Lemonade oxides is leading the way to the Haunted House.  I've colored Pandora with Copic markers and added a black liner to the completed before the wide eyed spider border paper from the Autumn Paper Heaven 2 paper pack. These layers were then mounted on the 6" x 7" black card base to complete this card design.

Nunzia: for my today card I invented a new fairy tale character. I composed it with Willa Witch  giving her a pair of wings hiding behind her a butterfly from Blooms butterfly bundle. The background is made swiping distress oxides on a white paper and the sentiment comes from Quotes-winnie-special-moments...

Rachael I just love these cute monsters!  this little guy is called little monsters - fuzzpea and he is just adorable!  He was crying out to be coloured in Green but I thought that a bit too obvious, so went for zingy red instead so he really pops off the page.  I know a few little monsters who would love this card!

Kim SimpsonHey Pumpkin!  I love making Halloween cards, so this week’s challenge is right up my alley!  I love the Boo Cute collection, so I decided to create a card using the adorable Pumpkin Boo Girl Pre-colored digital stamp.  I paired her with lots of layers using some of the coordinating digital papers from the collection and the result is this adorable card that is ready to send!   

GabyI used this cute little monster for my first Halloween card! You can find this adorable digital stamp as Monster Boo Halloween in the store. For background I used distress ink and colored the stamp with pencils. 

Gabrielle  The ‘Foraging Mushrooms’ digi stamp is perfect for home décor and I chose to make a mixed media plaque to hang in a pantry, shed or kitchen.  I painted the plaque with a light layer of white gesso & chalk acrylic.  I then used the Polkadoodles ‘Tweet Branches’ stencil with ‘Crushed Olive’ Distress Ink.  I added a green embossing powder to the edges and to create the illusion of grass. I coloured the main image using Promarkers and used a sentiment and the pre-coloured mushrooms  from the ‘Magic Garden Soup’ collection along with the bees from the ‘Winnie Sunshine Delights’ embellishments collection as they all work so well together.  

Ariadna - I used these great digital stamps for my card - I love to make them look mixed media by sketching over the lines and adding my own doodles. Hope you like it! I used Frankenstion and the elements from 

Great Autumn projects to help inspire you this week! Big thanks to the team!

So let's get to today's inspiration... this week the team were asked to create something with a Back To School theme - let's see what they made for us!...

 JudyI used An Apple a Day Lil Miss Sugar Pops which I colored with Prismacolor Pencils.  She was fussy cut and popped with foam tape onto a die cut circle frame. Two of the papers used on the background are from Gnome Men Dad/Father Printable Paper PatternsThe star paper is from Winnie Celebrations 1 PapersThe sentiment is computer generated. I added 2 apple stickers and enamel dots from my stash.

JO LAVERTY - I love this Lil Miss Sugarpops image with her backpack so I just had to use her on this card for the school theme! 
SarahFor this challenge I used the lollipop lady and spotty paper from the Work and Play Collection 12 (the digi kit for this is AMAZING value!!). I resized them in my Silhouette Studio software and then used my Silhouette to cut them out! For the lollipop lady I used the print and cut feature to get three images, then cut and layered them to get a 3d decoupaged image. 
ENRICA - Schools here in Italy will start in a month ... there is still time to enjoy the holidays! 
This handmade notebook is my project for this week challenge, to embellish the cover I used the sweet 'Student/School Little Dude' digistamp colored with Copic. I added some die-cut pieces from my stash to complete it - Happy crafting everyone! xx 
Donna PHi Guys, for this weeks Back to School theme I’ve used the Science Teacher/Student digi stamp which I coloured using alcohol markers. For the background I used a couple of sheets from Work and Play 12 Paper Heaven 8 plus a sheet of vintage book paper, which I covered with ink splats to give it a ‘homework’ feel. All the embellishments came from Work and Play 12 Embellish Bundle.

Fab projects to help inspire you this week! Big thanks to the team!
