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!

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


Rachael - Hi crafting friends. Not long left now until the big day (love it or it hate it, it's coming!) For this weeks inspiration I used the gorgeous Elvis Wesley Moose, for a bright and bold card! The image and papers come from the USB, but you can buy them individually too. This image is called slip and slide. Don't forget if you want a quick card, or if you maybe are not confident at colouring, you can also get the recoloured image here.


Julie - A Christmas card using an image from Gnome Festive Fun Collection, that was the Design Team Challenge this time. I chose to print and color the Polar Bear-Gnome Festive Fun image to create my card. I used printable paper from Winnie White Christmas 2 to create a background and a frame for the inner background. I created the birch trees with a random tree stamp and added some falling snowflakes and glitter on the tree trunks. My idea was to create a Christmas card using calm & peaceful colors with only the Gnomes hat having that festive pop of red. I hope you like the card as much as I do! My Instagram/Facebook


Wendy L - Saturday comes around so fast - and so does Christmas! This week I'm happy to share this card I coloured using the adorable Gingerbread Cookie release - I love this collection there is SO much in it, such great value! This image is from the Candy bundle, but you can also find him as a digistamp or clipart too if you just want the image on its own!

Bea - For my card today I wanted to really make my image the front and center of my project. I used the digital stamp Polar Bear - Gnome Festive Fun and I ventured out of my comfort zone and colored my image with Prismacolor pencils. I added a sentiment from the Christmas greetings, quotes, sentiments and to finish it off I just chose some contrasting cardstock from my stash, I also used white gel pen to add the snow. Make sure to visit my IG page over here to check the reel for this card. Happy Crafting friends!!!


Carrianne - Hi, crafty friends! I am bringing you gnome-sized joy and candy cane sweetness, featuring the adorable image Candy Cane - Gnome Festive Fun, as well as Elvis Wesley Moose Themed Paper. The sentiment is from the Christmas Greetings digital set. Coloring up this gnomey was a lot of fun.
Copics used:
Gnome (nose): E50, R11-R00
Hair: Y21-Y23-Y26
Outfit: B95-B45-B41
Candy Cane: R39-R37-R35
Berries: RV25, R21
Bows/Heart: R81-R83



Kerri - Hi, I'm sharing a card I made using Eli The Elephant with Snowflake Balloons. I printed the image onto white card stock after sizing it. Once it was printed I colored him with Faber Castell Polychromo Pencils. I then stamped out the sentiment, made a wax seal and put everything together. The Sentiment is also digital and is found in this set called Christmas Greetings, Quotes, Sentiments Printable Stamps.

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...

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

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 
InstagramFacebook

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!
