Megan - Hi! Today I am sharing a simple stepper card featuring this Birthday Wanda digi. I used the Spring into Easter pattern paper for the background layer. I gave the paper an inky edge to help bring it forward. The present is from the Accessories Digital Stamps, there are so many fun digis to use as supporting images. To finish the card I used a bit of a sassy sentiment from Winnie Daisy greetings.

KM: For this week’s challenge, I had so much fun creating a card for Father’s Day using the Little Dudes Superhero digital stamp—it’s such a versatile design, perfect for celebrating the everyday heroes in our lives! I cut out the word “DAD” using my cutting machine, added some stenciling with Distress Oxide inks, and finished it off with a touch of sparkle using glitter markers. Then, I added a black cardstock as the base. Since this is giving a comic vibe, it inspired me to go with primary colors to make it pop! To all the amazing dads out there—Happy Father’s Day!

Kaye - For this project, I wanted to commemorate my daughter's dance recital so I decided to make a picture frame making use of the Just Lovely- Honeypie Printable Papers and to accent the frame, I added textures using a gauze sprayed with Distress Oxides, and twisted it some of it to create a flower shape. For the main focal point, I used Dancing Queen Honeypie because she reminds me so much of my daughter in the recital, happy and cute!

Wendy - Hello everyone wishing all a lovely week - we were asked to create a card suitable for Father's Day so I decided to use an image from the very cute Horace and Boo collection to create a fun pop out card. This is Horace and I've coloured him with promarkers. The papers I've used come from the Winnie Daisy Fairy 2 paper bundle 2 and I chose a sentiment from the Gnome Feeding Bird kit. Just a few sequins and some die cut balloons to finish off my more masculine card for today.I love how all of the collections work so well together to create just what you want. Have a fabulous week. Love and crafty hugs Wendy x

Jane – For my card today I have used brown ink through the HEAVENLY CIRCLES stencil onto Kraft card to create a subtle background then added images from the GNOMES FOR MEN collection.

Rachael - I LOVE all the new Polkadoodles MDF and chipboard! I have to admit it's always been a bit out of my comfort zone but I am embracing it fully and am now completely addicted! This is a set of journal covers (you get 3 different ones) and I've painted it then added papers, the amazing Green Fingers chipboard and some lace and dies, this is all for me, me me!

Nikky - I made this mixed media card using our new Honey Bee dreams digital collection and teamed it up with some MDF and chipboard from the new Honey Bee Farm MDF craft kit - I LOVE this kit so much!
