THE CHALLENGE IS

ANYTHING GOES

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

Jane – I love the versatility of digital stamps, and they are perfect for quick and easy crafting. The ‘topper’ for this design is simply one of the sentiments from BELLA CHRISTMAS BEAR BUNDLE resized to fit an A6 card. I then printed off BELLA BEAR BIG GIFT, coloured and cut her out to fit on the front. Easy-peasy.

Catrin - Hi everyone, For my card today I have used 'Mistletoe Kiss' from the Theo Penguin digi stamp set. The Penguins have been coloured with Promarkers. I have die ccut the card, paper and image and added some embelishments to complete.

Samantha P - It’s time for another Digi Choosday, and for this current DT challenge featuring the North Pole, I selected the Winnie Winterland – North Pole digital stamp along with the Colouring scene 4 Christmas printable background to create this adorable scene. For this card, I kept everything one-layer except for the sentiment, coloring in reds and greens. To finish everything off I chose a sentiment from the Winnie White Christmas Sentiments set. I hope you enjoy.

Rachael - Hi crafting friends. This week I thought I would use one of the beautiful new releases to make a Christmas card but in non traditional colours. I know poinsettias are not blue, but that’s the great thing about craft you can make things whatever colour you like! For this I used the beautiful new poinsettia-wreath- combined with an embossed background and silver card it makes a stunning Christmas card.

Jennifer - Hello crafty friend, I hope you've been having fun, creating for the upcoming holidays! For this weeks project, I made this cute Carol singing moose into a Christmas card.

I started by bringing 'Carol singing-Elvis Wesley moose' into procreate, along with a "Merry Christmas" sentiment from 'gingerbread holly greetings', and 'Christmas coloring scene 4'. All of the digital images from Polkadoodles are so easy to use together because they're designed with, what's called a "clear background". So they literally layer together as easy as import, drag, and drop!

After getting my layout how I liked it, printed it out with a Lazer printer. Printing with toner, instead of regular ink, allows me to add a Beautiful shine with some transfer foil and a laminator. I just covered the "Merry Christmas" with gold foil and fed it through my laminator.

To complete the background, I lightly ink blended a mix of 'spun sugar' and 'shaded lilac' distress ink to give some dimension to the snow. For the sky, I used 'salvaged patina', 'salty ocean', and 'prize ribbon' to create a center highlight around the sentiment.

For Mr.Moose, and all of the trees, I colored them in with alcohol markers. But it still needed something... so I grabbed an embossing pen, and went over all of the trees, everywhere I thought the snow would stick, and added some clear embossing ink. I dusted on some 'puff white' embossing powder, which actually puffs up when you heat it! Which gives a very interesting texture to snow.

Natalia - Christmas is coming :) ... this is the most wonderful time of the year. I've prepared today a metal jar for Christmas cookies. I decorated it with coloured printable papers and dig stamps. I used the Gingerbread Bella Christmas bear - colour clipart from Bear-y Christmas collection. It's simple to make and would be a nice gift for someone!

Wow!! Lots of gorgeous inspiration for you this week to use - we hope you'll share what you make with your Polkadoodles products on our Social Media! Share in our Facebook group here...
