More great projects from the team this month!


Christin - In the middle of high summer the design team was asked to create something water themed. Maybe you know that I love mermaids?:) For my card I coloured this super cute little miss mermaid with my alcohol markers. For the background I took a design paper and cut out with my slimline die. Some special highlights I made with the bubbles I made with a white pen.

Catrin - Hi Everyone! For my Sunshine and Flowers inspired card I have used the 'Hearts &Flowers Butterfly clear stamp set 1 , set 2Rainbows - Stamp Soup 19 clear stamp set and Flowers and Things - Stamp Soup 27 to create this circular card. To begin, I distressed the backing buy adding distress ink colours to a glass mat, spritzzing with water and placing the card on top, pressing down lightly, pulling the card off and setting asside to dry. I used Scrap Card on the reminder ink left on the glassmat so not to waste, and once dried I stamped the flowers and fussy cut. For the butterfly I used vellum and heat embossed with WoW Bright White and fussy cut, I then used distress ink on the wings. once the backing paper was dry, and flattened, I added some stamped images from the set, placed all the flowers and the butterfly to complete. Happy Crafting!

Maz - for my Christmas in July project, and to follow a colour palette, I created a trio of tags using adorable characters from the Frosty Winter Smiles Snowmen Collection. I stamped the background using Wonderful Christmas Stamp Set and created 3D poinsettia flowers using the same stamp set. All details can be found on my blog

Natalia - It's summer, so cold sweets are the best way to beat hot days. This simple card has a background made with Distress Ink, while the Winnie Starfish/Sandcastles - Ice Cream Days collection was painted with watercolor paints. The whole is splashed with turquoise colour of paint.

Judy: My DT card for this week's challenge is "school" themed. I have used the Wanda Working Study Phone Printable as my focal image. She was colored with Castle Arts Soft Touch Pencils and fussy cut. Part of the sentiment was stamped with the Funky Alphabet A5 Stamp Set. I also stamped borders and numbers from the same set. The other part of the sentiment was printed using Wanda Printable Messages and QuotesI added a strip of patterned paper behind Wanda from the Wanda Printable Paper Set 3.

Jane – I have used this beautiful mermaid from the CORAL collection and she is called NARWHAL WHALE. I coloured her with Copics and added a ‘splash’ background with pigment powders. The sentiment is from STARFISH & SANDCASTLES which I VERY roughly cut into a splashy shape.

Irre - Hello everyone. Sharing today a tag for Polkadoodles. For this project, I used a digital stamp called Lavender. I colored her with Copics. For the background, I colored in the tag with Distress ink and added some more through the number collage stencil. I did some edge stamping too, with a stamp from the stamp set Special times. Then, I added some black twine and decorated it with black stones,  a metal flower, art stones, and a rhinestone. As a sentiment, I used one from the Rebel easy snip message strips. Finally, I added a black ribbon. Instagram: @scrapbyirre

Natalia - I've been busy creating with the Wild Sunshine stamps and stencils this month...





Wendy J - Hello everyone I hope you are having a lovely day. I'm here with my Congratulations card today that I've made using one of the wonderful Digi Deals - Watercolour Flower Stem. The DT was challenged to make a non-cute card and follow a colour palette so I decided to use my distress inks to colour the digital image that I've printed in grey, just a little fussy cutting and layering onto one of the papers from the set, to make an elegant and classy card. The sentiment is from the Winnie Daisy Fairy Greetings Bundle.

Catrin - Hey everyone! sharing today a floral card made using the 'Funky Flower - Funky Hello' Clear Stam Set and the 'Funky Borders' Clear Stamp Set. The florals have been stamed on and masked off, I then brushed on some watered down distress inks. Removed the masking and coloured the flowers with Promarkers. Once the backgound was dry I stamped on the borders and added some pearl dots. Finally I stamped the sentiment on a seperate piece of card and die cut.

Maz - for my congratulations project and to follow a colour palette, I created this card using Watercolour Flower Stem. I copied 3 times, cut out the petals and leaves, then decoupaged for a 3D effect. The backing papers are from the same collection. The 'congratulations' text is from the Zodiac Sentiments. All details can be found on my blog.

Rachael - Hi crafting friends, Rachael here with more inspiration. I just adore these funky flowers - this one is called Funky daisy smile, and along with the stamp is a fantastic stencil you can use for colouring, or I used alcohol markers instead for this striking CAS card.


Wendy - Hello there...it's the best day of the week...and I'm here with my project for the next challenge. We had to make anything but a card so I have made a little framed picture using one of my favourite images form the Rebel Girl collection, Rebel Soaking Wet along with one of absolute favourite sentiments. The little frame was painted with chalk paints and I have decoupaged the pre-coloured Rebel image to give loads of dimension to this sweet little gift for my best friend. There are loads more details and photos of how I made this on my blog.

For he background I have used the Funky Daisy Smile 2 in 1 stencil and the Polkadot Mesh Stencil with Distress inks I then used the Stamps from the Funky Flower Daisy set to add the red dots and Flourishes. Finally i drew the border lines and added the sentiment from the Rebel Messages with Attitude...


Natalia - Today I would like to share with you a shadow box card. I made it using Soup stamps colored with watercolour paints. I used Distress Inks for the background. Through the cut-out window on the front of the card, you can see a small image of what is inside. Hope you like it.


Wendy - Hi everyone! Have you seen all of the amazing backgrounds in the Polkadoodles store?!? I LOVE coloring them! This is Coast Scene and it's one of the new summer/beach themed backgrounds that would be perfect for all of those tropical and mermaid cards. I've had a lot of fun pairing it with the Winnie Starfish and Sandcastle and those adorable Pandas. I can't wait to see what you create! Thank you for looking.
