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.

I just loved how cheerful, sweet, and colorful this tag turned out! Hope you like it. Happy Crafting!

Jenn B – Thinking Rebel Girl + Cactus Papers
Hello crafty people! The image I used this week is called Thinking Rebel Girl – I printed her out and coloured her with Copics, then die-cut her with a fancy-edge circle die, sponging the edges for a soft look. For the background, I used digital papers from the Happy Cactus Succulent Paper Pack. The sentiment comes from the Rebel Messages with Attitude. I finished it off with a giant button in the corner for some extra flair.
Leah - Hi! Today I'm sharing this cute Camera flip book which is from the Sweet Moments chipboard. I decorated this with the other ephemera in the chipboard set but I'll also be adding lots of digis to go with it and finish it off!
Renske – Bee Buzzy Gnome Shaker Card
Hello! This time we worked with the theme of flowers. I chose the adorable c – Bee Buzzy Gnome Digital Stamp and combined it with a floral pattern paper from the Freddy Fox Pattern Paper 2 Set. After colouring the digital stamp with my alcohol markers, I turned it into a fun shaker card. I die-cut a window in the front, placed the floral paper behind it, and filled it with transparent butterfly shakers. I added the gnome in front of the window and used a sentiment from the Spring Gnome Fun Quotes and Sentiments Set. I hope this gives you some inspiration – happy crafting!
Wendy - Hello everyone - Do you make and sell at craft fairs ? I don't as it's not really a thing here where I live but when we visit new little villages I always love wandering round the artisan markets.
Our challenge this week was to make something we could sell at a craft fair so I decided to use the gorgeous new Honey Bee Dreams collection to Up-cycle some drinks coasters - I think they would be perfect in a garden room, porch or even outside if you have lovely sunny hot days. I simply printed a few pages from the kit and adhered to my old coasters before covering with Exterior Mod podge. I added some of the new Honeycomb papers from the adorable Buzzy Bee collection to the bottom of each coaster and a little gold gilding wax around the edges too. Have a fantastic Day.
