Let's see the inspiration from the team - we've been creating lots of gorgeous projects for you... 

Rachael - Hi everyone. Have you seen the latest stamp and die release? It’s so fun and funky and I think it’s perfect for men and boys cards. I made this using a distress ink blended back ground. I then stamped, coloured and die cut the new hip hip hooray die. Simple, quick and easy for the males in you life!

Christin - I love the Frosty Wintersmile Snowmen collection, one is sweeter than the other. For my card today I used the Hello Frosty Snowman and colored it with my alcohol markers. It was supposed to be a birthday card so I used the large text for the background which I also colored it with my alcohol markers.

Julie - This fun and festive New Year card features Winnie Celebrations- Anniversary Digital Image from Polkadoodles. The bubbly background was created using black cardstock, lunar paste, and a bubbly stencil, layered with some sparkling gold cardstock. Winnie is Copic Colored in her best black evening gown with gold glittery accents. Glossy dots allowed the champagne bottle and glasses to shine and shimmer because on this card front - It’s Time to Party! Winnie is attached to the card front with a spring wobbler allowing her to be a little tipsy! The inside sentiment reads “Save Water - Drink Champagne” from the Winnie Celebrations Sentiments 1. Full Details on my blog. Wishing you all a very Happy New Year! My Instagram, Facebook

Wendy - Hi everyone! Look at this adorable little Gingerbread Cookie girl showing off all of her candy!. I can picture her dancing with excitement as she decorates her yummy gingerbread house. She's just one of the many sweet images available in the Gingerbread Bundle. You can find her in the Santa Mug kit and the gingerbread house is in the Snow Day kit. I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!
Megan Cooper - I used this Bella Bear Morning Coffee digi with the Winnie Daisy greetings quotes and papers from the Paper Patterns 2 - Winnie Daisy Fairy set then coloured her in, so cute!
Ohuhu Marker Colors Used:
Flower Center: Y1, Y6
Flowers, Bow, Coffee Cup: G8, G360, G490, R12, R110
Bear colors: YR9, YR7, Y210, BR2, Y13, E170
Dress, Flower: P2, RP1, RV080
Flower: P4, R11, V270

Leah - I am sharing a Winter Birthday card with you today for Digichoosday. This card features the Bella Bear Morning Coffee digital stamp. I coloured her using my Holbein coloured pencils and paired her with some digital papers from the Horace & Boo collection as well as a digital sentiment available on the Polkadoodles website.


Kerri - I am sharing a card I made using the digital stamp called NATURES BEAUTY GIRL WITH FLOWERS IN HER HAIR. I printed the image onto white card stock and colored her up with Kalour Pencils. I added a couple of snowflakes and a sentiment.
Jenny - I always have thank you cards available for my kids to write a message to the person who gave them a gift. For this card, I braided the side of the card base and then used the Snowflake Autumn Fall Fox coloured digi stamp from Polkadoodles along with some of the papers from the Polkadoodles Theo Penguin Paper Bundle 4 digi set. Follow me on Instagram and Facebook @CraftingwithJenny

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

Let's see the inspiration from the team - we've been creating lots of gorgeous projects for you... 

Adam - Using the five Winter Christmas Foliage layering stencils, I chose non traditional colors to make the background layer of this card. I used two dies from the Vintage Christmas Holly Baubles Outline dies set to decorate the background. Finally finished with an embossed sentiment from the Merry Christmas Text Wreath dies and mounted background on two layers of co-ordinating card stock.

Julie - This week we were challenged to create a Money Holder card. I love when the Design Team can create with their choice of an image, so I chose to create with Bauble Hat Bella. I designed up a quick and easy gift card/money holder card using super fun printable paper from Polkadoodles. I colored Bella using Copic Markers and added some “beary” Cute sentiments from Christmas greetings. The complete details for this project can be found on my blog. Happy Crafting! Follow me on: Instagram/Facebook

Wendy - Hi everyone! I just love this little Gingerbread Cookie licking the yummy Christmas pudding off his spoon. He's just one of the many sweet images available in the Gingerbread Bundle. You can find him in the Baking Bundle, and I've paired him with the hot cocoa and ornament cookies from the ephemera bundle. Stop by the store and checkout all of the Gingerbread kits just waiting to be on your Christmas cards!

Carrianne - Hi there, crafty friends! Our challenge this week was to create a money card, and I was thrilled because the holidays are coming up, and money cards are appreciated in my family. I created this moose-themed money card using the Elvis Wesley Moose Themed Paper and Elvis Wesley Moose Themed Sentiments. I used an envelope punchboard to smooth out the corners. Of course, I had to include a moose, so I used the Mistletoe Hello - Elvis Wesley Moose. I added a few snowflakes to complete the card.
Copics used:
Moose: E41-E42-E43-E44-E47
Scarf/Mitten: R00-R02-R05
Shirt: YG00-YG01-YG03-YG23
Boots: C3-C5-C6
Mistletoe: YG61-YG63, R17

Taty - For this project I created a coin holder useful for giving away money or gift cards. Inside the ticket we find a mini pop-up bag. I decorated the project with the digital image of the sleigh loaded with gifts from the Winnie Winterland collection - Design Sheet 10 SKU WWLds 10 that I cut out to apply on the front of the card together with the phrase that is part of the Heartfelt wishes PD7962 rubber stamp set . Sending hugs, Taty

Merja - This time I created a fun card to give with a money gift. I used the Curly Christmas stamp set to create the "envelope" part. I stamped the Christmas baubles on a white cardboard, coloured them with watercolours and cut away the part above the baubles. Then I cut a little bigger base from a green cardboard and taped the cardboard I just made on it from the edges. After I had done the envelope part I cut a card to go partly inside the envelope from a blue cardboard. I cut the holes where I can put a 20€ bill and rounded the upper part of the card. Then I printed Gift Box Parcel Bella and Cooper Christmas Puppy images, coloured them with alcohol markers and fussy cut them. I also made some gifts from Theo Penguin paper bundle 3. I taped the images and the gifts on the card so that they are just on the edge of the envelope part when the card is in and just over the money when the card is out of the envelope. Lastly I added some stars on the blue part of the card with a glitter yellow paint pen.


Rachael - Hi everyone. These postage dies are everywhere at the moment and you can use your digital images with them too. Just measure the space you have and adapt the size of your digi image to fit. I the cut around the image in the right size rectangle and added them onto the blank die cut. I used the latest Theo release for this but you could use any of the polkadoodles sets for this!



Leah
 - It’s challenge day and I have a fun (although not so digital) project for you today! I used the Let’s go Gnome clear stamp that features an adorable gnome and reindeer. I coloured this image with my Kalour coloured pencils. The sentiments are from two different sentiment sets: Birthday Sentiments and Christmas Greetings. I also used the Baked with Love Paper Heaven 1 digital paper for the background layer of the card front. Lastly, I added some fun and festive enamel dots and sparklies.

Kerri - This is a card I made using Gift Tree - Gnome Festive Fun digital stamp. I printed it onto white card stock and colored him up with Prisma Pencils. Sentiment comes from the stamp To Gnome You Is To Love You.

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