As always, lot's going on here, so let's see the inspiration from the team for this week!

Maria - Not a card - nothing easier than that, especially when I get to wrap up these adorable little gnomes! And what could be more perfect for the job than the wonderful Let’s Go set? The matching sentiment comes from the Christmas Fishes set. First, I designed a triangle box in the right size and decorated it with that beautiful Oval Trellis die, which makes it look just like a delicate doily, doesn’t it? I colored my image with Polychromos pencils (numbers: 103, 108, 118, 121, 130, 131, 132, 140, 145, 146, 152, 153, 154, 155, 199, 217, 225, 230, 232, 234, 247, 270, 271, 272).As always, I added my little Polka Dots — I just can’t finish a project without them!I hope you like my little goodie as much as I do! Here's my Instagram, Facebook and Youtube.


Liz - How fabulous is this 3D Forever Angel MDF kit, she looks fantastic coloured up in Christmas colours but I think she also makes a great gift for a special Birthday too! The skin and hair is coloured with Zig markers, the dress is acrylic with a thin layer of white pan pastel over the top and I used a little of the gorgeous Ocean Sparkles stencil butter on her wings. The metallic effects are some Metallic water paints from my stash - hope you like her! Please give me a follow on Instagram and Facebook, I'd love to follow you back too!

Julie - When it comes to Christmas prep, I love keeping things quick, cheerful, and handmade — which is exactly why I chose to create these festive tags for my Design Team project! I started by printing a sheet of the gorgeous ornaments from Winnie Winterland Embelies and pairing them with the beautiful coordinating pattern papers — from the Winnie Winterland collection. After that, it’s just trimming the paper to desired tag size, layering the precolored images with foam tape for dimension, and tying on a ribbon or two for that festive sparkle. A light splatter of white or gold paint gives that magical finish we all love. It’s such an easy, fun-filled way to dress up gifts and share a little handmade magic this season. Visit my Blog for a full print then cut tutorial to create these tags.

Taty - Christmas is approaching, it's time for preparations, and with the colorful digital image of Winnie Winterland, I decorated a little box for giving cookies or chocolates. I printed the image in color and cut it out precisely. For embellishments, I added the poinsettia from the same collection and the chipboard lettering. I used Velcro to close the box. Have fun, have some creative fun!


Rosanna- Hello creative friends! Time flies and it's Saturday again, the day our team makes its presentations. Once again, I used a quick and easy digital stamp: the charming hot air balloon with an extra sweet kitten looking at the world from above. Do you like it? It's the Jasper Hot Air Balloon” digital stamp. It has been coloured with Copic markers, and I added clouds of different sizes and various embellishments. Don't be fooled by the photo, this is not a small tag, but I made this project with two oval dies measuring 16 x 12 cm (6.5 x 4.8 inches). At the top, I added a small white lucky bell.
I hope you enjoyed this, big hugs. - Rosanna

As always, lot's going on here, so let's see the inspiration from the team for this week!

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

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.

Revati - Hello crafty friends, When it comes to creating sweet and simple cards, I often find myself reaching for some pretty florals. For this card, I used one of the pre-colored floral images from the Flowers and Foliage Digi Stamp Set as my focal point. I printed it on watercolor paper and enhanced the colors with a touch of watercolor for added depth. Once dry, I used my Brother ScanNCut to fussy cut the image. For the background, I chose a soft, light orange patterned paper from the Alcea Hollyhock Flowers Bundle. I added the Thank You sentiment from the Winnie Daisy Messages Digi Stamp directly onto the patterned background, placing it just where the floral image would sit. I then printed this design onto 80lb white cardstock and adhered the painted floral using liquid glue for a clean and cohesive look. You can find more details and photos over on my blog!

Sana

Judy: My inspiration project for this week is a Thank You Card created with Love Heart - Honeypie. I colored her with Prismacolor pencils and fussy cut. The patterned paper used is on my card background is from Lily Bug Ladybird Papers 4. I printed the sentiment fro Winnie Daisy Greetings, Quotes and Sentiments.

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



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!


Julie - Imagine you’re a little gingerbread man strolling through the snow on Christmas Eve, the scent of sugar and spice floating in the air. As you peek through a frosty shop window, you spot a scene so sweet it warms your cookie heart — jars of candy, gingerbread and Christmas cheer. That magical moment inspired this fun shaker card design—using the adorable “Shop Window” image in the Gingerbread & Holly Collection. A fun square design, and a snowy background provides the perfect backdrop for the shaker window. A few shimmery shaker bits, snowflakes and a playful “Happy Holidays” sentiment finish it off — because every gingerbread deserves a little holiday magic.

Taty - Hi friends, I'm sharing my DT inspiration for the November challenge. I created a square box with a diagonal opening. I decorated the lid with the colorful Flower Birthday Celebration Cake image, which I printed and cut with a circular die. The lid is made up of two parts that open diagonally. I used magnets to secure the lid. I hope this gives you a lovely idea for your Christmas gifts.
