So let's get to the Design Team inspiration for this challenge!

Rachael - I'm sharing a card I made using the brand new Pretty Flowers dies - I love this NEW RELEASE, make sure you check it out! I've used the Pretty Blossom dies along with the new Stencil Butter Frosting which gives such a lovely background using the Switchable circles stencil - I feel like these colours are perfect for Autumn.




Kaye - Christmas is fast approaching, and what a perfect time to create a new christmas decor for your home. and I did exactly that, using Honeypie Cutiepie, I colored her in Christmas shades to get into the Christmas spirit. Then I placed miniature Christmas lights to accentuate her into the snow globe. Enjoy! My Instagram - @kayeskraftivitee_


Julie - It’s September and it’s sunflowers with bees buzzing - which fits in perfectly with my passion for creating journals and all that go with them. And so this tag came to be using layers of papers and embellies from Polkadoodles Rose Bud Collection (this collection is a must) paired with a Blooms 3 floral image. Ink stenciling, bits of lace. and a touch of splatter create a backdrop for a popped up bee & floral blossom. Full details to create this project can be found on my Blog. My Instagram, Facebook


Kim S - For our challenge this week it's all about Christmas. I chose my girl of course, WINNIE from the White Christmas set. So many wonderful images to choose from in pre-coloured and black and white. I decided on a non traditional Christmas colour scheme of pink and red(which has become my favourite for christmas cards right now) I added in some extra ephemera and my paper selections come from Bella Bear-y Christmas set 2 and Jolly Santa set 2. I added the bow ephemera from Gingerbread Cookie set and the present from the Bella Bear Christmas set. Don't forget to enter this weeks challenge. There's a money prize to be won.

Maz - I'm clinging onto summer but I think this card still has some Autumn vibes...I've used the new Pretty Blossom flower dies together with the Leafy Fronds dies and some chipboard elements, finished off with the new Berry Background stencil.

Julie - This pumpkin-shaped shaker card is all treat, no trick! I started by using my Cricut to cut the pumpkin image from Polkadoodles Ghastly Ghost design directly into a folded card base. I also printed a non colored version of the image in the same size. Then used inks & blending brushes to create beautiful colors on the pumpkin and the leaves. I created a background panel with more ink blending and shimmer spray to create a completely eerie look! The shaker window was created by layering acetate behind the cut-out face, then adding a foam border to hold the sequins and beads in place. Once filled, I sealed it with the background layer, a sprinkle of bats, and a dash of Halloween sparkle. The card inside reads “Batty for Candy” - a sentiment from the same bundle. A perfect way to bring some “shake” to your spooky season crafting! Full details on my Blog. My Instagram; My Facebook


Nina - This sweet Christmas card features the adorable Gingerbread Holly from the digi stamp set Christmas Cutie – Gingerbread Holly. She’s wearing a red dress and a bow in red with white stripes – simply sugar-sweet! To match the theme, I used the coordinating digital paperGingerbread Holly’s Paper 2 – filled with lots of tiny gingerbreads, perfectly complementing the image. The “Merry Christmas” sentiment is from the Christmas Greetings set and adds the perfect finishing touch. I decorated the card with white die-cut flowers and small berry sprigs – a winter dream come true!
