THE CHALLENGE IS: ANYTHING GOES

So let's get to the inspiration for today's new Card Making & Paper Craft Scrapbook challenge...

Renske - This time, we were asked to create a Christmas card featuring either a snowman or an animal. I chose to work with the adorable Cute Snowfriends digital stamp. I coloured the snow friends with alcohol markers and created a wintery background using Distress Inks in Black Soot, Chipped Sapphire, Salty Ocean, and Peacock Feather. I added a texture with a crafting mousse to create the moon and the stars. The sentiment is from the Theo Penguin Greetings Sentiments bundle, which added the perfect festive touch. I hope you love it as much as I enjoyed making it. Happy crafting! My Instagram: @renske.wishes.you

Facebook: Renske.wishes.you

ENRICA - Hello! Today I'm sharing this card I made using the gorgeous Theo Penguin collection! I used the main image from this Snowman Theo Penguin digital stamp and then also added the bird on top of the penguin and used a lovely background scene which is also included in the bundle. I hope you like it! 

Irre - Hello everyone. Today I created a shaker-card with the digital stamp Big gift Parcel. I stamped the background paper with Christmas gifts from the stamp set Curly Christmas. I also colored them and the digital stamp with Copic alcohol markers. I created a shaker element with a circle. For this circle I used a paper from Theo penguin paper bundle 4 and filled it with sequins. I added both the colored stamp and the shaker element to the stamped paper. I also added some modeling paste and art stones to the circle. I decorated it with charms and twine. Finally, I added a sentiment from Bella Bear Christmas message sheets.

Have a crafty day! My Instagram: @scrapbyirre

Jenny - Looking for a quick gift for a co-worker or neighbor? I created this by folding/cutting a single piece of cardstock to make the holder for the KCups. I resized the Snowman Friends Precoloured digital stamp to fit, (Which is one of the things I love about digi stamps!!!) printed the image and glued it onto the holder. Following me at Crafting with Jenny on Facebook and on Instagram

Candace - For today's challenge project, the theme is Christmas, use any image and make a gift. I made a tag gift card holder and used Sparkly Baubles image on the front. The pattern paper is from Theo Penguin Paper Bundle 4 and the sentiment is from Christmas Topper Sheet 1. I also used the snowflake die cuts from the Snow Globe die set.

Kim Stewart - My daughter has been asking me for a few years now for tags to use at Christmas and I’m always so busy with card orders and Design Team projects that I never have time to get around to making her some. Surprise! Christmas tags for my daughter using the new Christmas Gingerbread Cookie digital downloads. I created 5 tags using the pre-coloured digis which are so easy to create with once you pin them out. I layered them onto tag shapes along with a snowflake as well as sentiments also from the Gingerbread Cookie download set. I also cut out pieces of decorative paper using the smaller tag size from the Gingerbread Cookie digital download set as well as Bella Bear Christmas and Theo paper pack #4 . I’ll create a gift bag to gift them to her and surprise her before Christmas.

Julie Nagle - This Surprise “Pop Up” Christmas Cookie Kit, features delightful paper and whimsical images from Polkadoodles - Gingerbread & Holly digital designs download! This bundle is packed full of digital images, papers and sentiments to create this Pop Up Cookie Kit! This super fun kit is easy to create, looks beautiful and if the recipe and cookie making supplies just aren’t enough fun, the Pop Up Surprise image when opening the box will surely be! Pack the kit with a cookie cutter, icing tubes, and sprinkles to complete a festive and fun Christmas gift for budding bakers, teachers, or anyone who simply adores cookies. All of the details to create this project can be found on my blog. My Instagram, Facebook

Bea - Hey guys! It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!! I am so excited to share this card with you. I have used the beautiful digital stamp Christmas Shopping and colored her with Copic alcohol markers. I also chose a sentiment from the Christmas Greetings digital sentiment set. Added some glittery purple cardstock from my stash and also used one of my old scalloped dies. I want to invite you to my Instagram Page to watch my reel coloring this cutie. Will you color her with me?

Carrianne - Hi friends! I come BEARing gifts today with some help from this cutie. Imagine opening this gift box on Christmas Day and this adorable little bear popping out of it? Wouldn't he be the best gift ever?!! For my card, I used the digital image Gift Box Parcel Bella Christmas Bear and colored it with Copic Markers. The festive paper is from the Elvis Wesley Moose Themed Papers. I cut the bottom portion with a scalloped edged die and assembled it onto an A2 card base. The sentiment is from the Christmas Greetings bundle which includes a variety of greetings to finish off your holiday cards. I finished the card with red sequins. 

Copics used:

Bear - E44-43-42-41, (nose) C7-6-3, (ear) R20

Holly - YG67-63-61

Gift box (large) C6-5-3-1-0, (small) C3-2-1-0

Ribbon - R39-37-35-32

Berries - RV25, R21

Taty - The theme of the new challenge is gift and the Santa Sleigh digital stamp is perfect, the sleigh full of gifts is nice, I relaxed coloring all the little packages and the beautiful Santa Claus. 

For coloring I used Prismacolor pencils in the following numbers: 

gloves and boots 1050-1065-1063, holly 109-1005, 

dress and hat 1027-903-919-1087, face and nose 939-1014, 

ur 1086-939-289 , gift packages in various colors. 

I added some highlights with white Nuvo Drops and glitter to create the soft snow. 

The image is so adorable and I want it to be the star of the card. The final measurement is 3 1/2 inches.

Great inspiration from the team this week, thanks everyone for your hard work!

THE CHALLENGE IS: ANYTHING GOES

So let's get to the inspiration for today's new Card Making & Paper Craft Scrapbook challenge...

Today we're thrilled to welcome Taty, Carrianne, Becky and Bea to the design team - we look forward to sharing all their amazing projects with you, please follow their lovely blogs and socials! 

Becky - Hi everyone, I'm so happy to be on the team! For my first project I inked the card background with a water reactive inkpad and then coloured this adorable Bella Bear Snowman digistamp with Spectrum Noir markers. I added a couple of snowflakes to finish off.


Taty - For my first DT inspiration I created a Christmas tag with colors other than the classic green and red to follow the theme of the weekly challenge. I chose the Poisenetta Reindeer Christmas Gingerbread Cookie color digital stamp and I am very satisfied because the image printed on the cardboard respects the colors with a perfect result. I love gingerbread. For the background I used Christmas paper patterns 2 digital paper, which has a wonderful rendering when printed.


Bea - For this project, I used a piece of kraft cardstock for my card base, and the Paper Patterns Gingerbread Cookie, which I cut with a die from my stash to be smaller than my card base, leaving about 1/2'' around it or so. I also created a window to make my card a partial shaker, and used a sequin mix from my stash. I used the beautiful digital image Star Christmas Gingerbread Cookie digital stamp which I colored with alcohol markers. To finish my card I added a sentiment from the Sweet Christmas greetings bundle. You can check out the reel to see how I made this card by visiting my Instagram Page.



Carrianne - Today, I created a CAS card using the Snowman-Elvis Wesley Moose digital image. After coloring the image with Copic Markers, I used a frame die to cut it out. I printed the greeting from the Elvis Wesley Moose Themed Set onto blue cardstock. I cut it out with a sentiment strip die, then adhered it to the panel with foam tape. To complete the sentiment, I opted to cut the mistletoe from the Mistletoe Hello Set and adhered it directly to the panel with liquid glue. Blue sequins added a finishing touch to the card.
Copics used:
Moose: E43-42-41, added shading with Prismacolor pencils
Hair: E49-47-44
Antlers: E47-44

Julie Nagle - Today’s design showcases two images of Theo the Penguin from PolkaDoodles, Snowball Tree & Snowball Sleigh. A festive scene in a snowy setting shows teamwork creating a Christmas tree made of snowballs. The card has a window on the front to peek into the snowy 3D scene with snow-covered hills and a playful snow flurry background paper, Theo Penguin Paper Bundle 4. A fun Christmas Greeting finishes off this super fun Christmas card. My Instagram/Facebook


Wendy - Hi everyone! We're getting ready for Christmas, and Polkadoodles has oodles of Gingerbread Cookie bundles ready for you cards. For my card today, I used the adorable Frosted Gingerbread Reindeer from the Cute Noel Gingerbread Cookie Bundle. and I paired him with the Gingerbread house from the Snow Day Gingerbread Cookie Bundle. I colored them with my Copic markers.



Kim Stewart - Happy Digi Choosday! Hope you're having a crafty week. For our challenge this week it's all about Christmas(it's coming up fast) Are you a get prepared early person or wait till the last minute person? i procrastinate so much 😉 I chose one of the cute Bella Bear Christmas digital images for my card front called Gift Box Parcel Bella Bear. I also added in some ephemera parcels and holly berry leaves also from the Gift Box Parcel Digital download My paper choices come from Jolly Santa pack 2, and Bella Bear pack 2, and lastly Gingerbread Holly pack 3. I used lots of glitter glue which i added in different spots to make it very shiny and sparkly. What's on your craft desk this week? Don't forget to enter to new challenge happening. We'd love to see what you're created


Betsy - Poppies are for remembrance and this Poppies set is wonderful. You can buy it in the Blooming Lovely USB or download set or purchase just the Poppies set here. The image I used was one of the B & W stamps sized to fit into the arched opening of my card. Along with the poppy image I printed out a piece of tan paper included with the set. Simple coloring. I adhered the arched frame and colored panel onto an A2 size kraft card base covered with a bright red plaid paper from my stash. I used a sentiment strip from my stash, added some olive green confetti and that finished my card!
Copic colors used: G12, G21, G85, G28, C5, C7, R02, R05, R14, R17 R59, RV69

THE CHALLENGE IS: ANYTHING GOES

So let's get to the inspiration for today's new Card Making & Paper Craft Scrapbook challenge...

Kim Stewart - For this week's Digi Choosday we we're challenged to design a non-square Christmas card for a male recipient. For my project, I chose a Side Step card format and used one of the charming Elvis Wesley per-coloured images on my card.  Surprisingly I used no decorative papers this week as I found the card too busy with the decorative paper AND the coloured images. I add some extra festive cheer, and included ephemera elements from the new Gingerbread Cookie digital bundles . As a final thoughtful touch, I added a pocket on the back to hold a gift card.

Jenny - I'm so happy to be on the team! Do you find yourself needing some quick masculine Christmas cards? I created this card using the Snowman Elvis Wesley Moose SVG. By using the Elvis Wesley Moose themed sentiments I was able to add it directly on the Elvis Wesley Moose themed papers before she printed it. Adding the papers to black cardstock and offsetting them to the background creates more visual interest. Follow me - Crafting with Jenny on Instagram and Facebook.

Carrianne - For my first challenge, I had to choose between an Autumn or alloween card. I chose Halloween, as I love scary things. I have created a cute, not-so-scary card featuring the Mummy Boo Halloween digital image. The sentiment is from Halloween Trick or Treat Printable Greetings. I colored the image with Copic markers and then cut it out using my Scan N Cut machine. The background was created with distress oxide inks using the smooshing technique. I finished the card with purple sequins.

Copics used:

Skin: E000-00-11-02

Mummy: W3-2-1, BV000

Hair: C6-5-3

Julie - Halloween - My most favorite theme to create cards for! Today’s design team card is crafted to resemble an eerie tombstone using an arched die and a few quick snips with scissors for the card bottom. The mystical background is blended with spooky ink tones, a touch of metallic splatter and hints of ghostly whispers. A chilling haunted house looms in the foreground - Polkadoodles Spooky House. I colored in the windows with yellow tones and clear embossed the house to create the sinister glow of the house in the darkness. Creepy bats and tattered tombstones were included in the Spooky House download and were perfect for adding an unsettling charm to the scene. The bottom of the tombstone card reads “Happy Halloween” - one of the many sentiments from Ghastly Ghost Printables. I can’t wait to send out this ghostly greeting! My Instagram/Facebook

Rachael - For this weeks challenge my inspiration is using one of the cool gnomes from the recent release called Autumn gnome trick or treat  I love the sentiments and papers in this pack too they are all perfect together !

Betsy - Hello everyone! Making this Freddy Fox shaker card was so easy with the Autumn Fall Fox digital stamp and papers. I sized my image in the computer and printed it out onto white card stock. I die cut my snow globe using a die from my stash. I used a satin white for the globe/snow part and a woodgrain brown for the base. I colored my image using Copic markers. I assembled my snowglobe and adhered it to the blue background paper that I had used a 3D snowflake embossing folder on. I covered my A2 size card base with an extra sparkly paper and added Stickles and my sentiment.

Copic colors used: W0, W1, W3, W5, W7, YR23, V12, V15,V17 V000, V01

So easy! Til next time...Betsy

Megan - Need a masculine Christmas card? I like to stick to traditional Christmas colors with bolder letters and bigger patterns. I used one of the larger patterns from the Elvis Wesley Moose themed papers for the background. I paired it with 2 of the bolder looking sentiments from Winnie White Christmas Sentiments. There are so many fun fonts in this digital download, I love being able to resize a sentiment to just the right size to fit my card. The adorable Pup on the front with the gift box is Cooper Christmas Puppy Dog Gift Box. I really don't think anyone can resist this sweet pup.

Ohuhu Marker Colors Used:

Dog Colors: WG050, WG070, WG090, NG07, R1, R9

Hat, Scarf and Bow on box: R1, R170, R180, CGIIOO, CGO20

Green Box: GY8, GY43, G170, G2 - Gold glitter pen

Megan Cooper (@lazydazestampin)

Merja - I used Isadora Witch image and coloured her with alcohol markers (and some white gel pen) before fussy cutting her. Then I cut the crystal ball with the Snow Globe die and coloured it with Distress Inks and white gel pen. I also used Starry Nights stencil with gold glitter paste to bring some more magical feeling. The base of the crystal ball is die cut from black cardstock and I added some white details with white gel pen and white paint pen. When the crystall ball was ready I taped Isadora on it with foam tape and added a Hocus Pocus sentiment from Boo Halloween Sentiment bundle.

Great inspiration from the team this week, thanks everyone for your hard work!
