THE CHALLENGE IS: ANYTHING GOES

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


CHRISTIN B - I am a great fan of the Spellbinding Witches of the Polkadoodles Craftshop. So I love to make halloween cards with them. On my card today you can see the Pandora Witch which I colored with my alcohol markers. For the background I used a stencil and Distress Oxides and stamped the sentiment several times.



Kim Stewart - Fall colours are slowly starting to appear here in Eastern Canada. Soon the air will be filled with the scents of pumpkin cheesecake and apple crumble. I'm loving this week's Design Team Challenge of my 'favourite thing about September'. Which for me is the wonderful splashes of colour we get here starting in late September. I couldn't resist Marigold from the Darling Buds collection-a perfect match for this vibrant season. Plus creating with the orange and pink was fun. I chose a wonderful quote i found on the internet which i mounted to the front of my card and then fussy cut around Marigold which i popped up with a bit of foam tape. Lastly a few mulberry flowers to finish my card design off as well as glitter glue in gold to the marigolds for added depth and sparkle. My paper choices come from Spring Into Easter paper pack 1 and Gnome Halloween Set 2


Wendy - Hello everyone I hope you are enjoying your week! Today I'm here to share a cute little Halloween card that I've made using the Ghastly Ghosts collection - these little ghosts are definitely more cute than ghastly and I don't think they'll be scaring anyone this Halloween. I have coloured 3 of the little ghosts with coloured pencils and then made them a cute DL shaker card. I use the Funky Vortex stencil in the background of the apertures and hand drew little cobwebs on the acetate windows before adding my sequins. The stripey paper and sentiments are from the Trick or Treat Gnome collection.
Have a fabulous week - love and crafty hugs x



Megan Cooper - Today I am giving you a peek into things I love about Autumn. I used Out and About Honeypie to share my love of being cozy with sweaters, hats and mittens (as it gets closer to winter, mittens are a must)! I paired her with the Just Lovely digital papers, and the best part is I was able to go from a pink paper to an orange paper by adding a filter to the digital paper in Canva. So I used two different colors for my striped background. The hearts are fussy cut from another design in the paper bundle. The sentiment is from the Just Lovely 31 Sentiments/Greetings bundle. I colored the leaves from the Lil Bug Lady Bird digital stamp with a Zig Clean Color brush pen. I hope this card gets you excited for Autumn. Instagram: Megan Cooper (@lazydazestampin)

Candace - For today's challenge project, the theme is Fall/Autumn are coming and use the color palette of oranges and pinks. I used the digital images from Autumn/Fall Digi Stamps and the papers are from Noodle Panda and Zodiac co-ordinates pattern papers.



Jane – Autumn is not too far away, and it is most definitely my favourite time of year. This sweet little FREDDY FOX PUMPKIN is sitting amongst some of the wonderful Fall ephemera from the AUTUMN/FALL FREDDY FOX bundle welcoming in the season.

Julie Nagle - This week’s Design Team Challenge was to create a card using an object from PolkaDoodles digital images to create a September Birthday Card. So many options - whatever would I choose?! My Son’s birthday is in September so instantly I thought of him. Last year he spent his birthday in Nova Scotia, Canada which led to the creation of this card. The Lighthouse from Winnie Starfish/Sandcastles proved to be just perfect for the background technique I had planned to apply to this card. I blended using PolkaDoodles Blending Brushes with tones of blue/green distress inks onto the background using a random pebble stencil for the water, and a tea colored ink for sandy beach. A pallet knife and Grit paste allowed me to mimic the crashing waves at the shoreline of the lighthouse. I Sea it’s Your Birthday was the perfect sentiment for this charming coastal creation. Dive in and give this card a try! Further details can be found on my blog.

Wendy - For today's challenge, I tried something a little different. I used a pre-colored image. I absolutely adore the stunning colors on thIS Fantasy Moon image and wanted to use it on my card. I did pull some of the colors from the image to create a soft, simple background using my Copic markers. I also added Wink of Stella (on the moon) and some Unicorn Pearls. I love how it turned out! Thank you for looking!

THE CHALLENGE IS: ANYTHING GOES

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


Wendy - Hello everyone wishing you all a wonderful Digi Choosday! It's still the middle of summer I know but our theme today was to make an Autumn or Fall themed card so I immediately reached for the fabulous Freddy Fox collection - he's such a cutie. I've made a pop of frame card cutting using the pre-coloured ephemera around my handcut frame and used the Winter Latte Freddy. The pop up Freddy is coloured with alcohol markers for a fabulous dimensional card that fits in a standard 6" x 6" envelope. Have a fabulous week everyone !


Renske - Hello everyone! The children will be returning to school here in another month, so it's a perfect time for a back-to-school card. I used the digital stamp "Student/school little dude," which included three pattern papers and three sentiments. I chose two pattern papers and used two of the sentiments. I coloured the digital stamp with my alcohol markers. The bundle also includes a chalkboard-patterned paper. I made a frame around this paper so that it looks like there is a wooden edge around it. To make the card, I first adhered a blue paper with one of the pattern papers onto a kraft base card. Then, I attached the chalkboard paper with the frame and added a banner behind it. I placed the text "Never Give up" at the bottom using foam tape, with the coloured digital stamp on top of the sentiment. Additionally, I added the circle with the text "wishing you a great day" on a die-cut blue circle. I placed the word "and" in gold to connect the two messages. Finally, I added three gold adhesive pearls to the banner. I hope this card inspires you. Happy Crafting! My Instagram: https://renskewishesyou.com/ Facebook: Renske.wishes.you

ENRICA - Hi crafty friends! For my card this week I’ve created a cute scene using the super sweet Helga Hippo Study work hard digital stamp together with the Room with a view without furniture background colored with Copic; the sentiment is from Student/School Little Dude. Helga is studying really hard… she probably hasn't finished her summer homework yet! Good luck to everyone xx

CHRISTIN B - For my new card with a little bit of autumn yellow colors I used the Bloom 3 flower bundle. I love sunflowers and I love this digistamp set! You can also get it precoloured in this set but I set the digistamp to 6% transparency on my computer and printed it out for coloring by myself. Then I colored it with my alcohol markers and it has the great NoLine coloring effect. Only some yellow paper and enamel dots makes it fit.
Maz - for my Halloween/Autumn theme, using orange and yellow, I created this stepper card featuring Spooky Kitty Pumpkin from Boo Halloween Collection. The pumpkins are from Hocus Pocus Witches. I created the background using Leafy Stencil. The small leaf sprigs are from Super Sprigs Craft Die. All details can be found on my blog.
Christine -This time I decided to go with a mini slimline card featuring the Little Dudes collection. I decided to go with the Cool Dude digistamp and as a bonus you get some great sentiments and three digital pattern papers to go with him. For my background I used a soft blending brush and a stencil. Love how it turned out. I colored this cool little guy up with my Copic markers. 💮 My IG: ckndesign_craft ðŸ’®
Here are the colors that I used:
Skin: E000-00-21-11-04
Hair: E11-13-15-18
Pants: G99-94-21
T-Shirt: E15-18, Y35-38
Beanie and shoes: W5-7-9

Julie Barnes - The challenge this month was for a card with an unusual shape, so after searching for templates I came across the instructions for a standing flowerpot card and decided that would be perfect. Having made up the base and insert I stamped out several flowers from the stamp set PDz7452 Daisy Days and coloured them with some Ohuhu and Copic markers. I stamped the sentiment from the stamp set onto the insert and then started to build up the card with the flowers I had fussy cut out. I finished off by adding a little bling to the centre of a couple of the flowers.
I used colours:
Ohuhu: YR030/070/090/110 G130/190 and Copics B00/B02

Betsy - Hello everyone! Sharing this very adorable Honeypie Spring Lambs digital stamp set today. I stamped my image onto white cardstock, colore and die cut it with a
scalloped round circle die. I made a pale pink base and then 3-D embossed a floral panel. With the patterned card stock I die cut a 2" strip. I adhered all together using foam tape for the focal panel. I die cut a sentiment from light green glitter card stock. I added gems and glitter glue for sparkle and shine!
Copic marker colors used: W0, W1, W2, W3, W5, W7, E31, E33, E35, E37, Eoo, E11, E23, E25, E23, E21, E93, E97, E18, RVOO, RV02, G21, G12
Julie Barnes - The challenge for this card was Autumn or Halloween in Yellow/Orange. I chose to go with the Autumn theme as I just love the stamp set I used PD7263 Nuts About You. I also used the fabulous craft papers from paper pack In Love With Autumn PD7955 to decorate the inside of the card. I started off by stamping out several of the trees, toadstools and leaves, colouring them in and then fussy cutting them out. I ink blended the sky background using the stencil Great Outdoors PD7389 and then stamped the squirrel out onto kraft card and coloured in using Prismacolor pencils. Again, I fussy cut him out and then set about putting all the elements together on the card front. I then decorated the insert and envelope with the same stamp set.


Prismacolor colours used for this make:
PC1002 - 1034 - 118 - 924 - 922 - 925 - 937 - 945 - 1082 - 941 - 943 - 997 - 1084 - 1032 - 910
