So let's see what the Design Team have been making this week... 

...and today we are saying a big HELLO & WELCOME to our new DT designer, Nina - make sure you follow her on socials for all her amazing inspo, welcome to the team Nina!

Nina - This little goodie bag is a heartfelt surprise for a very special friend. The sweet girl from the Honeypie Sweet Flower Bouquet digistamp, colored with Copics, perfectly highlights the sentiment “You're my most treasured Friend” – paired with pink checkered paper and die-cut flowers from the Lily Ladybug collection.

Ana - A Sweet little sunshine in notebook form! I created this mini notebook using the adorable Honeypie and dressed it up with flower embellishments, grass and cloud die cuts, and a cheerful gingham background from the Wanda Printable Papers collection. I Finished it off with trims on the spiral binding for an extra dose of cuteness!

Martine - Hello, i am back with....not a card! Because that was our instruction for this week, make something with a Honeypie digital and not a card. Well... i used Honeypie Spring Lambs for this one. Isn't she sweet ?? I made ( well.... actually i bought it...) this little giftbox. Our local thriftstore sometimes got stuff that a crafter could use. This time it were these Chinese? throw away wok containers. You could put a little gift in it...or maybe some chocolate...
And because she had some roll up flowers on her hat, i put some on that box as well. Used that text again ( i LOVE them !! ) ... Rebel with Attidude snips .

Ana - Say hello to my 2nd creation this week - a shaker disc-bound mini album starring the adorable Honeypie! The cover is a sparkly shaker page filled with sequins and little flower-shaped bits that bring the perfect dose of happy. Inside, I mixed plain cardstock, Wanda Printable Papers, and designs from the Gnome Men Football USA collection to keep things fun and fresh. Some pages feature interactive flaps, hand stitching, inserts, and pockets—while others are left blank for the user to personalize. You’ll spot the same sweet Honeypie stamp throughout, some already colored and others left as a creative canvas for the future owner. 
I colored Honeypie using Copic markers: 
0, BV11, B000, RV02, RV00, R43, YR00, and Y08.





Megan - Hello! Today I've made a soft and sweet tag featuring this cute Honeypie Sweet Flower Bouquet digital stamp. This tag features a fun sentiment from Just Lovely - 31 Greetings/Sentiments Bundle, with 31 greetings you can make a ton of fun tags!


Betsy - Hello everyone! Today I'm bring you a sweet easel card to share with a close friend! I started out by printing my Honeypie image, paper, and one of the sentiments. I made a top folding card base and scored the front of it lengthwise. I die cut my plaid paper using a scallop rectangle die and cut it in half. I adhered one to the top of the card and the other just below the fold line. I colored my Honeypie image and kept with the colors of the plaid paper. I die cut the sentiment and backed it with a left over piece of the plaid paper. I fussy cut my Honeypie. I printed out a 2nd sentiment and die cut it. I die cut a cute bow from lavender card stock. I adhered this second sentiment to the top of the card on foam tape and then popped up the bow on foam tape. I adhered Honeypie to the bottom part of the card only. The sentiment that was backed by the plaid paper I foam taped inside my card to act as a stopper for the front of the card when it's folded. I added bits of white gel pen and silver glitter pen. I added tiny gems and my card was done!
Copic colors used: E00, E01. BV000. E02, RV10, V20, BV000, YR20, YR31,
E23, E35, E37, E33, YR24, RV52, RV13, E57, C1, C2, C3, C5


KIM S - I am so excited to share my latest Design Team project. 💖 I had so much fun creating this cute little box featuring the adorable Honeypie Balloons stamp!  This project is perfect for a "Happy You Day" celebration! I love how the soft colours and the cute image came together perfectly. Do you ever create 3D type projects/crafts? What kinds of things have you tried?


Thanks so much to the team for their GORGEOUS inspiration this week!

So let's see what the Design Team have been making this week... 

This week we're really excited to announce 2 new Design Team members joining us! Huge welcome to Kaye & KM - welcome ladies, we're excited to see your projects!


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.

Candace: For today's challenge project, the theme is Father's Day. I used the image Toad-ally Cute Little Dude for my Father's Day card. The pattern paper is from Superhero - Little Dudes and the sentiment is from Gnome Men Greetings.

Thanks so much to the team for their GORGEOUS inspiration this week!

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.

KIM - Look who's making a wish! The theme was all about creating a card with a fold using one of the fabulous Wanda stamps. I had so much fun playing with the adorable Fairy Ballerina Wanda for this one! My paper choices come from the Party Time Paper pack
I incorporated a fun fold to add an extra layer of dimension with a peek-a-boo flap that has a sentiment hiding underneath. I Love playing with interactive cards.

Betsy - Hello everyone! Today I'm sharing Wanda as she strolls through the park sipping her soda! I composed and printed out my card onto white card stock. I also die cut a scalloped rectangle panel of a coordinating color for the very background. I kept the coloring of the background light and the coloring of Wanda brighter. I drew a pencil line between the sentiment and the ground so I would know to end the coloring there. To finish I added a black peel-off to the pencil line. I added Stickles to Wanda's drink, flower and the smaller flower in the background. I also added dots of it to the water and a few around the sentiment. I added Glossy Accents to her shoes. I adhered all the panels onto a white card base and my card was done!

Wendy - Hello everyone and happy Digi Choosday - the best day of the week. Today its all about Coffee and Drinks and my favourite coffee when I was at work was a large skinny latte from a well known outlet so here's my version. I used the very versatile Coffee Tea and Cake collection, resizing the Latte Coffee Cup to fill an A6 card front. I added a couple of the puns to the image before printing out and then coloured with Promarkers. After adhering the image to the card panel I fussy cut out on the right hand side and then added some red check paper to the inside panel. Just a few pieces of card candi, some coffee coloured splatter and a little glossy accents to make the perfect card to send to someone you love. Have a wonderful week. Love and crafty hugs Wendy x

Kassi - I created this cute dinosaur themed card using the Sticks and Bones collection - this is an older collection in the store but I love diving back and seeing all the lovely things I've missed for a long time!...


Linda - Hi! I created this circle card for a star lover - I adore this cute image from the Little Dudes collections - you can also get this as a clear stamp too! 

Jane – This sassy little lady is called WANDA SODA POP and she sits on a heart cut from the WANDA PAPER SET 2. I have surrounded her with die-cut bubbles and added the punny sentiment from the MESSAGES & QUOTES bundle.

Candace: For today's challenge project, the theme is use a pun sentiment that matches the image and coffee/drinks. I used a stencil to create a simple background, then added Sunshine Delight Coffee - Winnie image after coloring her. For the sentiment, I printed out from Winnie Sunshine Delights Sentiments, then die cut out using Posydoodles Rectangle Dies. I added twine and enamel dots to complete this card.

Thanks so much to the team for their GORGEOUS inspiration this week!
