Let's see the inspiration from the team - we've been creating lots of gorgeous projects for you... 

Julie - Happy Saturday! Today I've made this cute 'Just because' gift card which has little post-it notes on the inside. So cute! I"ve used this super cute Bella Bear in a bee costume digital stamp which is adorable...you can also get this precoloured too if you aren't into colouring...

Patricia - For the “Just Because” challenge. I created a Special Day Tag. Which I had so much fun creating by combining several techniques. The Your Love Lifts Me Up Balloon Digi Stamp “ I colored with my Copic markers, and it came out adorable. The sentiment “It’s your Special Day? Guit Outta Here!” from theGnome Men Greetings was the perfect touch, and I inked its edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. I used Distress Oxide inks in these three colors — Picked Raspberry, Fossilized Amber, and Tumbled Glass — to blend across the background on the Tag, then added water splashes to activate the inks and create those magical spots. Using Vintage Photo Distress Ink, I blended the edges of the tag to give it a vintage look… and I loved the result — the blending turned out beautifully! To finish it all off, I added a Tiny yellow ribbon and some golden rhinestones.

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

Taty - Hello creatives today I shared my DT inspiration, a lollipop created with the cute bear obtained with the Beary cute critter Great outdoors die and the brown eva rubber. I added the leaves and the small beehive cut with the same collection of dies. The lollipop is ready to decorate gift packages or a children's birthday table.

Betsy - Hello everyone! Hope you are doing well and enjoying the summer! Today I'm sharing an adorable card using: Winnie Sunbathing, Coast Beach Sea Scene and Winnie Starfish Quotes. This came together quickly and turned out so cute! I sized everything in the computer and printed it out onto white cardstock. I used a fancy rectangle die to die cut a card base and a card panel after I had printed the design out. I ink blended the background some so there wouldn't be so much to color. I colored up Winnie in my favorite pink and orange combo after adding coloring to the background and blending out the inking that I did. I die cut the sentiment and colored it orange, edging it with copper ink. After the coloring of Winnie was done, it was time to embellish. I used tiny shell sequins, white Nuvo Drops on the waves and a shimmer pen through-out! And my project was finished! Copic Colors used: W0, W1, W3, W5, C0, C1, C2, R05, R37, R39, R59, YG11, G94, G82, Y02, Y21, Y38, YR12,

Rachael - Hello! Happy Saturday and Happy challenge day! Today I"m sharing a couple of cards I made with the new Bee gnome printable stamps - I love this collection, it's so cute!

Renske: For this graduation card, I got started with the Graduation You Passed digital stamp. I coloured it with my alcohol markers. I made the rolled-up diploma myself and treated it with Distress Ink and golden pearl glue. I also added dots to the background with this glue. I combined the image with the text “You Passed” from the Winnie Daisy Sentiment set. I hope you like it again. Happy Crafting.

Kerri: Today I am sharing a card I made using Hey Lovely, Love Heart Die and Cup of Kindness Die. I stamped multiple images of the flowers and coloured them with Inktense Pencils. While the flowers were drying, I cut out multiple leaf die cuts from Cup of Kindness. I also cut one Love Heart Die. Once everything was cut out and dry, I assembled the card on a white base.

Ana - Here’s a star-spangled treat for the 4th of July! I made this fun hat-shaped treat holder using my Cricut Maker and decorated the brim with the Gnome Men Football USA collection—perfectly patriotic and Father’s Day-friendly (double win!). Just pop in some sweets or goodies, and it’s ready to spread a little sweetness this holiday!

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.

Enrica Hello! Today I am sharing these 3 cute tags using the lovely Rebel collection. I used the colours from the main bundle as my inspiration because all the papers are so lovely! See you next time!


Renske: For this challenge, I created a tunnel card with a full 3D scene using the Toadstool Lily Ladybug digital stamp. I printed the image to fit inside the smallest tunnel layer and coloured it with alcohol markers. The background was ink-blended with Distress Inks to create soft grassy hills and a sky. I added extra details using die-cut grass, leaves, flowers, and a butterfly to complete the scene. The layers are built with foam tape to give the card depth and dimension. Hope you like it. Happy Crafting!

Judy - This week's inspiration card was created with the Birthday Celebration Party Bundle. I coloured the cake digi with Prismacolor Pencils and fussy cut it. One of the patterned papers was used on the top part of the card. The tag digi from the printables included in the bundle was printed and coloured. I printed one of the sentiments included in the bundle onto the tag. The tag was fussy cut and added to ribbon and a bow. Pearls were added for a finishing touch.



Jenn B I used 2 papers from the Winnie Sunshine Delights 6x6 paper pack, and I die-cut a crescent moon from the same paper. I used one of the cute witches & sentiments from the Hocus Pocus Witches Halloween set, coloured with Copics and fussy cut before attaching with foam dimensional tape.


KM: For this week’s challenge, I had the sweetest time creating with the Winnie Ice Cream digital stamp—she’s just too adorable, enjoying a sunny day with one ice cream cone in hand and another to share! I chose bright summer colors inspired by watermelon to create a clean and simple background that really captures those carefree, happy vibes. I finished the card with the sentiment “Let’s Hang Out” from the Winnie Daisy Fairy – Everyday Greetings and Quotes sentiment collection. It’s the perfect card to celebrate sunshine, sweet treats, and spending time with friends!


Kim S - Check out this sweet birthday card I created using the Party Time digital set. The set is jam packed with adorable characters and sweet elements. Be sure to check it out. Are you a physical stamper only? Have you tried digital stamps? They’re is so much more you can do with them. Digital set used: Party Time Digital paper used: Daisy Fairy ll pack 2


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!
