---------------------------------------------

So let's see what the Design Team have made for you this week!...we asked them to create something that was not just a card...

Kim-For my card this week I used Elvis Wesley Poinsettia which I colored with my copics the little ornaments are from Wonderful Christmas clear stamp set. It is always fun to mix and match stamps. I think I will stick this one in an actual live Poinsettia as a gift. 

 Judy: My DT project for this week's challenge is a holiday themed mini album, which would make a great gift for keeping this year's memorabilia. I used the Winnie White Christmas Download BundleThis bundle has everything you need for any holiday creation. I decorated the front cover with Winnie Wings which was colored with Copics. The title is from Festive Word ArtThe embellishments were fussy cut from some of the Designer Sheets, as were pages inside the album. I used papers from this big bundle .



EVA...This week I made a gift box for a shower gel. The sugar-sweet llama can now make itself comfortable as a decoration on the gift box.!
ENRICA...Today I made this cute gift wallet using the Winnie Hot Chocolate digital stamp set...I hope you like it, I just stuffed it with chocolate treats and Hot chocolate as a simple Christmas gift...see you next time!

CARI...Who wouldn’t want to receive this cute Christmas treat box? This week we were challenged to make a gift with a Christmas theme.  I used a standard treat box using paper from the Gnome Season 6x6 Paper Pack.  The main image is Gingerbread Basket from the Winnie North Pole collection.  I colored her with Copic markers and fussy cut her out.  I wanted another accent, so I used the tree from Polar Friends from the Winnie Winterland collection.  I colored it with Copics, adding some white gel pen and fussy cut the tree from the rest of the image.  I mounted the tree and Winnie to the top of the box and added a sprig of matching poinsettia.  As a final touch, I added some white ribbon to the box lid.  
Gemma...For this challenge, the thème was "Make a gift" and I have made a box to give chocolates. The digital stamps are "Winnie Winterland Candy Cane" and Dazzle Trees" coloured by alcohol makers. The box paper is "Printable papers 3 Winnie White Christmas". I hope you I like it.
Keyla...Hi crafty friends, For today's post I have used the digi stamp Bella Bear Gift and Let's hang out papers to prepare this bookmark. I love to give books as Christmas presents and I think a handmade bookmark is the perfect addition to make the gift even more special. I coloured with alcohol markers spectrum illustrator and gave some details with a white Gelly roll. I hope you like it!
Natalia...Today for my inspiration I've created a Christmas Recipies notebook as a gift for my friend. On the front of my project, I've placed the sweet Gingerbread colored with alcohol markers from Baked With Love Gingerbread - DOWNLOAD bundle digital kit collection. I framed him in a frame from Twigge & Toots Frame It Bundle colored with markers in red color. I used also two layers of background: one is from the bundle digital kit and the second I made by myself from crafting paper. I stamped snowflakes from Snowflake Garden Stamp Set and sprinkled them with a gold embossing powder. I completed my project by adding the dark brown Distress Ink on all edges of the background to have a more vintage look.
More amazing ideas from the team this week - you have some great ideas & inspiration here to follow!

So let's see what the Design Team have made for you this week!...

We are delighted to welcome KIM SIMPSON  to the team - make sure you follow her wonderfully inspiring blog!

Natalia - Today for my inspiration I've created a little bit of vintage Christmas frame. On the front of my project, I've placed the cute Rudolf from Winnie White Christmas collection. I colored him with alcohol markers, fussy cut him out, and used foam tape to stick him to the wreath. As a background, I printed a frame from Twiggy & Toots Frame It Bundle and made her look more vintage using the Distress Ink. I completed my project by adding also tag and sentiment from Winnie Winterland - Tags/Frames, and a wreath from Baked With Love Gingerbread bundle. Happy crafting to everyone!

Merja - On my card Winnie is sending happy mail for someone special. I used this cute Winnie Celebration digi and coloured her with alcohol markers and a white gel pen.  The background paper is from Twiggy & Toots Festive Fun bundle and the text is from Merry Little Christmas Sentiments stamp set. Winnie is sending happy mail for someone special.

Nelly For my card this week i have used birthday-gifts-winnie-winter-celebration-digital-papercrafting-download/ and coloured her using alcohol markers.  Perfect image for those winter Birthdays! the design paper is from winnie-christmas-wishes-digi-scrap-printable-download/

Nunzia: Christmas is upon us and we need to get organized. This is why this nice group of friends, Winnie, Rudolph and Christmas Unicorn, comes to our aid. I used papers from Spring Surprise 6-x-6 paper pack and the sentiment from Winnie Sugar Sprinkle Sentiment quotes bundle to decorate the card. 

Janet - for my card this week I've twist panel card. The image I've used is Winnie candy cane elf. I've coloured her with polychromo pencils. On the inside of the card I've made a twist and pop fold where I've added die cut letters as park of the sentiment. The background papers are from Winnie white Christmas papers 1  and Winnie winterland paper heaven 4.


EIVOR - Today I will show a card with the cute picture Winnie Candy Cane Elf. The team got the assignment to create a card that moves and I made so the image moves forward (and backward) when you pull the strip of paper you can see on the side of the card. The picture is so perfect for Christmas cards! The pattern papers are from the paper pads Great Outdoors.  My title "God Jul" mean "Merry Christmas" in swedish. I Hope to inspire you to start working with your Christmas cards!
KIM SIMPSON - For my project this week, I made a wobbler Christmas card using the darling WinnIe Christmas Candy digital stamp colored with Copics, and added some elements from the Festive Hollybobs Collection.  I kept the card relatively simple, using lots of layers, allowing Winnie to steal the show.


GREAT ideas from the team this week - you have some great ideas & inspiration here to follow!

So let's see what the Design Team have made for you this week!...

We are very excited to welcome Natalia to the team - make sure you follow her blog - and the rest of the team - to see all her amazing projects!

Natalia - Christmas is coming with big steps! I love creating special gifts by adding some layers. For my first inspiration, I made a Christmas gift set: a handbag, a card, and two small bags for sweets or a little gift. The image I’ve used for this handbag is called Holly Hedgehog GiftsI also used the small version of this Digi Stamp for my card. Both I coloured with alcohol markers.  The rest of my work is based on Winnie Winterland Collection - PaperHeaven 3 digital craft papers and Tags/Frames digital craft papersThere is everything that you need to create fabulous projects. In my work, I used one design of the digital paper, two Christmas wreaths, a few frames, tags, and sentiments making my project more spatial, which I like. I'm so happy to be here! Hope this inspires you for some futures Christmas projects. Wonderful week for all, full of creativity! 

  Judy: I have created a simple Christmas card and tag using Bella Bear Gift from the Too Cute Line. I colored the digi with Copics and fussy cut.  The presents in the background and on the tag were die cut with the Perfect Parcels Craft Cutting Die.

Kim I created this fun ornament using the digital stamp Rudolph. I colored him with my copics and applied him to a wooden ornment. I then added some embellishment around the edges.  This makes a perfect tag that then becomes a keepsake. 

EVA - I made a gift tag this time. I colored it with Distress Oxides and sprayed some Nuvo Mica Mist on it. I used the Digistamp Bella Bear with parcels.

EnricaHello everyone! For this week's Anything Goes challenge I made a traditional red and white card using the cute Noel Christmas Mouse which you can find at https://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/noel-christmas-mouse/.  added a sentiment from the Winnie White Christmas printable  - Love the vintage look of this project, hope you like it too! xx 
CARI - These fabulous challenges are helping me get my Christmas cards done early!  This week I’ve made a card using a Christmas animal with the addition of a gift tag. The featured animals for my card are the adorable penguins from Penguin Gifts of the Winnie White Christmas collection. I printed one at the standard size and reduced the other to fit on the tag. I colored them both with Copic markers and added dots and stripes to the scarf and gifts.  I die-cut the small image out with a tag die, layering it on red paper, and adding a simple sentiment.  I die-cut the standard size with a cross-stitch circle and layered it as well.  The coordinating patterned background papers are from the Wintertime 6x6 Paper Pack. I assembled the card adding a few die-cut embellishments to complete it.  
GemmaFor this new challenge I used a "Bella Bear Bauble" on a embossing card and a "Lucky Present" with a tag. The digital stamps I colored by alcohol makers. 
Keyla - Hello! For today's post I have prepared two little gifts using the digital stamps of the collection Bella Bear with parcels. I find these little bears very cute to make especial gift tags for our beloved ones. As pattern papers for my tags I used some printable papers in green colours and coloured the images with alcohol markers to make them match with the papers. To give some dimension to my tags, I fussy cut some little trees from the printable papers and gave some white touch with a Gelly roll. Finally I added red ribbons and I can't love more the result. 

Wow! GREAT ideas from the team this week - it's always hard to think of something different every week but you have some great ideas here!

Card making & crafting challenge - Wk 45 Anything Goes

It's Friday and that means it's time for a brand new card making & crafting challenge!...

Have you seen our latest releases in store? View here...

 Merja - This time I made a gift box for a chocolate bar (200 grams). I used Winnie Wonderland bundle and designed the look with a text editor - I firstly added the background paper, compared the size and positions to my gift box base, added some texts and pics and printed it. Then I taped it on the base, added some more paper to the inside of the box too, added some lace to the sides and lastly a satin ribbon to keep the box closed. I think this is an awesome thank you gift for a chocolate lover, don't you agree?

Nelly: For my project this week o have made a 3D cup and loaded it with Chocolate goodies as a thank you. I have used sunshine-delight-coffee-winnie-sunshine-delights-digi-scrap-printable-download and the deign paper is serenity-fairy-wishes-paper-heaven-1-digital-craft-download-bundle/

Janet - I've done a bit of recycling for my project this week using a retailers gift bag. I've then covered it in a patterned paper. The image is called Cooper Gift Box and I've coloured him with polychromo pencils. A fab way to give someone a thank you gift.  

Pam - Our challenge this week is Thank You ~ Not a Card.  With the Thanksgiving Holidays approaching, I decided to make Napkin holders for my place settings.  For this project I've reached back to Polkadoodles 2015 Autumn/Fall digi Stamps Mono digital Download Bundle and found this cute scarecrow that worked perfect. I also added the 'free' Thankful sentiment download at the bottom. I've colored him with Copic markers and added a scalloped border, then cut a duplication pattern out of chocolate brown for the background and threaded an orange organza ribbon through to tie in the back.  What a pretty setting it made! 

 Nunzia: When you want to thank someone, what is better than chocolate? So I made a box to store chocolates, decorated with Winnie Sugar Sprinkles Paper and a sentiment from Sugar sprinkles sentiment quotes bundle . I then added a tag with the gourmand Winnie sugar-sprinkles-springtime-mmmmm-chocolate to complete the gift.

Eivor...My project this week is a little paper bag. I have made it for my friend, I want to say "Thank you" to her for always being there for me. She loves candy and coffee, just like me, so I will fill the bag with just that. The beautiful paper I used on the paper bag is from the paper pad Gentle Song. I have colored the cute stamp Sunshine Delight Coffee with copics and all the three sentiments I used are from the Let's Hang Out - 37 sentiments bundle. I made a tag with one of three dies from the Craft die Perfect parcels. It should be behind the pink paper with the stamp but I wanted you to see it. 

Yolanda...Fortunately, I have many reasons to be thankful and some very good friends who are always there for me. So I decided to make a thank you bag for my friends. I have coloured Miss you Winnie and decorated with die cuts and distress inks. I love this stamp because I love hugs and friends and I can use it for so many occasions. 

GREAT ideas from the team this week - it's always hard to think of something different but you have some great ideas here!
