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

Enrica - Hi everyone! For my Thank you project this week I made an autumn square card using the cute Pickles Hedgehog toadstooldigital stamp, colored with Ohuhu markers. The patterned paper and the quote are from the Autumn Fall Freddy Fox digital stamps bundle, hope you like this sweet scene! Cratfy hugs, Enrica

Rosanna - Hello creative friends! For my project this Saturday, I wanted to make two tags. I don't make them often, even though they are quick, useful and fun. I imagined these on top of a birthday gift package. I used an adorable digital stamp, Scruff the dog Cupcake, who is an adorable big dog.
Two tags, therefore two dogs coloured differently, again with Copic markers. For the lighter one, I used the codes E34 - E31- E51 and for the darker dog, I used E44 E43 E34 E 30. The rest of the colours are up to your imagination, but I hope I have been helpful in quickly deciding on the right colours. For the tags, I used a sheet of corrugated Kraft card and a tree die cut on the back (we all have at least one, right?). The sentiment “Hugs and Kisses” is made with a die cut and coloured card.
I hope you like it. Lots of big hugs x

Nina - This year, I created a very special Christmas card — for a truly magical first Christmas.

I fell in love with the adorable little bear from the digital stamp set - Gift box parcel Bella Christmas bear. He’s peeking out of the gift box with the lid playfully resting on his head — just too cute to resist!

I colored everything in soft shades of pink and warm grey-brown, paired with a rosy polka-dot paper — gentle, sweet, and perfectly festive. The Happy Christmas sentiment adds a lovely touch of sparkle and the delicate white bow border ties it all together — matching the little ribbon on the present.

Ana - Hi everyone! For this week’s Digi Choosday project, I made a decorative box frame inspired by children’s alphabet blocks. It features the adorable Bauble Hat Bella Christmas Bear and is designed to hold baby’s Christmas photos on each side. It can be displayed as a keepsake, used as a tree ornament, or even gifted—since the top opens like a small gift box! I used Polkadoodles’ Bauble Hat Bella Christmas Bear digi stamp and Christmas Paper Patterns 2 to decorate all sides. I colored Bella with alcohol markers and added sparkle with glitter pens and Aleene’s Glitter Snow plus a sprinkle of glitters! Want to make one too? Visit my blog for full step-by-step instructions!

Maria - The most wonderful time of the year…Isn’t Advent the most magical time? Everything feels so cozy and full of joy as we start decorating and spreading happiness with little handmade treasures. I can't wait for December to truly begin. To fit the season, I created a small goody for someone special. For me, candles are an essential part of this time of year — they bring such warmth and charm. And of course, I love to wrap them beautifully! Using the gorgeous Vintage Poinsettia stencil set and the matching dies, I designed an eye-catching candle wrap that makes a lovely statement. First, I created the beautifully layered flower using all eight stencil layers — such a stunning design! After that, I die-cut the flower to give it a clean finish. The real eye-catcher, in my opinion, is the white sentiment on the white background. I also die-cut both elements to tie the whole look together. A few playful polka dots add the perfect finishing touch — and just like that, you have a sweet little gift ready to bring joy.
Here's my INSTAGRAM, FACEBOOK & YOUTUBE - I'd love to follow you back!

Jenn B - Hey friends! I don't know about you, but I can always use a thank you card in my stash! I created this one with the absolutely adorable Gil Bunny Rabbit Growing Sunflowers digi, colored with Copics and fussy cut. Papers are from 2 separate paper packs - Winnie Celebrations and Winnie Daisy Fairy. I added some netting behind the image and a paper flower. I die cut the sentiment with a deckled edge rectangle die.

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