Let's see what the Design Team have created to get you inspired this month!...

Nikky - I'm a bit in love with our new Bright and Beautiful collection - it's packed with yummy stamps, dies and stencils to die for. Here I used the Shutter Heart die and tore it all up to make it look distressed...I kinda went a bit OTT and got carried away with embellishments so you can't see much of it haha! Underneath I inked the Boho Nomad stencil all in Pink Oxide and then overlaid it with Bubbleicious and a bit of the Chevron layering stencils. THe embellishments are the Ribbon Tag dies and the sentiments are from the Sentiment Strip stamps and dies HERE. Everything is from the B&B release!



Rachael - Hello! This week I've had SO much fun with the Bright and Beautiful collection - PD has so many new goodies, make sure you check them out! This was a really quick and easy card, I just inked the background and added a hint of the Poppies Layering Stencils (so cool!) and then overstamped in black - SO quick but I think this huge stamp is a real statement, I love it!



Liz - Do you love creating with MDF? I do and thought I'd use one of the fabulous MDF Altered art boards as the base of my project, I used some watercolour paper on the top with some smooshed distress inks, when dry I started building up some layers. The focal image is created with the Love and Kisses stamps, I coloured these with distress re-inkers edging with vintage photo distress ink, for a light vintage look. I fussy cut some of the leaves off the stamp set for added interest,
The gorgeous Celebrate die finishes it off along with some white paint splatters - I think this is great for Anniversaries or Valentines Day. Hope you like it!
Rachael - Hi everyone. Rachael here, sharing some inspiration from the bright and beautiful collection. I love a CAS card, and this collection was made for this! Using the circle shutter die, and the dahlia flower die I was able to make this beautiful wedding card. I just cut the dies from white card stock, colouring the flowers with alcohol markers. The great thing about these flower dies is they can be simple like this, or inked. layered and shaped for more realistic looking blooms!


Liz - Today I'm sharing this lovely Angel - who doesn't HAVE to be an angel if you wish...this gorgeous MDF kit can be inked, painted and decorated and has the face and hair details engraved. Just glue her together and attach to the stand, but you could also add her to the front of a journal too - lush!

Christine - Hi there! I made this 6 x 6 card using the fab Boho Circles layering stencils and just overlaid them with the Scribble Heart dies. This looks so cool I think - but is so easy to make!

Natalia - Hello crafters! This card was made using the new Just a Little Note stamps and dies. I created an inky Distress Oxide background with the Boho Circles layering stencils and then just finished it with a sentiment from the stamp set. I love the look of this but it was pretty quick to make!

Rachael - I made this while staring out at the snow from Storm Goretti. Mmmmm hot coffee! I started off die-cutting all the bits. I used a set called Sweet Moments die bundle available here and scalloped rectangles and tags die from here using a combination of plain, coloured and patterned card stock. I made up the coffee cups, then using picked raspberry distress ink, and heart wreath stencil I added detail onto the scalloped panel. I used the sentiment from the coffee set, and stuck it to vellum, before fussing cutting around the whole thing. I layered it all together using foam pads for dimension, and added stickles for sparkle. Back to the coffee and keeping warm!
Nikky - I think we've all gone a bit cray cray for the new Bright and Beautiful collection this month - it's so great and easy to work with too!
