Let's see the inspiration from the team - we've been creating lots of lovely inspiration for the coming season!...   


RACHAELHello, Rachael here with more Christmas inspiration.  It's not long now until the big day!  I used this cute Winnie stamp called Winnie and Penguin for this soft-look card.  I wanted it to be in muted pastels very different from my usual vibrant colours!  Isn't she adorable? 

Pam - For my Winter Rainbow with the color palette we were given, I selected the 'tree' from the Santa Tree image and the Santa Banner image both from the Jolly Santa Christmas Collection. After Copic coloring, I cut the Santa Banner out and layered him to the left of the Rainbow tree. I added a few snow banks and added the patchwork on Santa's scarf. The Polkadoodles tiny circle stamp was perfect to make additional falling snow.

Nunzia: for the scene of today's challenge I decided to be minimalist. I wanted to focus on this cute Love bird Owl. I created a snowy mantle by layering two white papers and a patterned one taken from Wings-of-love-cute papers-3 bundle. With the same patterned, I paper pieced the Owl's coat. The sentiment is part of Wings-of-love sentiments bundle.

Wendy - Hi everyone! We're getting down to the wire for Christmas. If you need any last minute card ideas, the new Santa Christmas bundle has you covered. For this week's challenge, we were given a pastel rainbow palette to use and I thought it was perfect for the sky. I used the Santa Bicycle image and drew in a few trees, snow and sky, and colored everything with my Copic markers. It was so much fun to create! I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and a very happy and crafty New Year!

Naomi Hi everyone! This is my last challenge before Christmas. I'm so excited and thank you for taking the time to join us during this busy season. For today's challenge, I paired pretty winter rainbow colours with cute little fish from the Christmas Fishes Bundle. I coloured them using my alcohol markers, and ink blended my background. Have a safe and happy Holidays!!

Bea - Hello! Today I created this cute card using Theo Penguin, hope you like it! 


Janelle: Hello crafty friends! I loved the idea of mixing a rainbow with a winter theme (or any theme really!)! It was super fun and easy creating this backdrop using distress inks, paint splatter and a little embossing. For this creation I used the digi stamp Upside down Theo Penguin. As always for more inspiration be sure to check out my IG @sparkle.craft.happiness and Facebook.

Let's see the inspiration from the team - we've been creating lots of lovely inspiration for the coming season!...   


Judy: I've created a Christmas themed birthday card for this week's DT project. The focal image used is Gingerbread Bella Christmas Bear. This cute digi was colored with Prismacolor Pencils and fussy cut before adding to the card. The base of white card stock was stamped with the Winter Flurries Stamp Set and the sentiment was stamped with the Sweet Birthday 4 x 6 Clear Stamp Set. I created some snowy hills behind the image with white and purple glitter card stocks.

RENSKE - I designed a festive Christmas birthday card in a double Z-fold style. The card features the Birthday Tree digital stamp perfect for a Christmas birthday celebration. I also incorporated elements from other digital stamps, including the balloons from "From All of Us" and the presents from "Christmas Shopping". As a background, I used a digital pattern paper from the Theo Penguin Bundle 1. The sentiments from the 'Christmas Greetings' set added the final touch and completed the look, providing a perfect festive feel.
My Instagram: @renske.wishes.you

NATALIA KUZAK - The beautiful time of the year is coming.. But the most magical night is on 24 December, when animals speak in human voices and children wait for the presents. I've prepared a wooden frame for that night with Octavia Frosted Winter who holds the clock counting till 12.00. All coloured with alcohol markers and splashed gold and white paints. Have a great Christmas holiday to everyone.


ENRICA - Hello everyone! For my Christmas Birthday project this week I made a shaker card using the super cute Frozen birthday - Winnie winter celebration digital stamp, colored with Copic, greeting is from the Student/School Little Dude set. This cute image is just perfect for winter celebrations!


TINNE - Hi everyone! I really had fun creating the card for this weeks challenge! I colored the Frozen birthday- Winnie winter celebration image using the following Copic combinations:
  • Crowns: YR24, Y35, Y32, Y21
  • Jacket, shoes, scarf and birthday card: B24, B23, B21, B00, B000
  • Hair: E43, E42, E41, E40
  • Skin: BV00, E53, E51, E000
  • Blush: R32, R30
  • White scarf, gloves and fringe on jacket: N1, N0
  • Nose snowman: YR12, Y35, Y32
  • Mouth snowman: W6
  • Snow: BG11, BG10
I glued the image on a card base, and cut some fringes in 3 different shades of blue, using a die from my stash. I glued the fringes on my card, creating an overlap. I cut a strip of white glitter cardstock and glued it on top of the fringe border. I printed one of the sentiments from the Winnie Daisy greetings, quotes and sentiments bundle, put some foam tape behind it, and glued it on top of the card. I hope you like the result!

DeborahHello all! This week I am happy to be sharing with you a Winnie Winter Celebration birthday card. For this card I chose Party Time Winnie and colored her up in mauve pink and blue, perfect for a little girl's birthday card. The sentiment is from the Winnie Celebrations 3 Sentiment Set  and the papers are from Perfect Peony  and Pretty and Pink She is available in a pre-colored version, but if you would like to color her like I did, I have listed my Copic marker colors below.

Let's see the inspiration from the team - we've been creating lots of lovely inspiration for the coming season!...   

Pam ~ I've selected three packages to incorporate into my design today. Coloring Scene 4 is my background, Santa Stop Here Bella Christmas Bear is the next layer, and Lantern Bella Christmas Bear is added as the top layer. I used Copic markers for coloring, and added a thin line of Diamond Stickles around the fur and on the snow lines. The image is triple mounted with the centre patterned paper from the Spring Surprise Craft paper pack.


Nunzia: for today's challenge I thought of a winter scene with this cute Cable-car Theo-penguin stamp. I've duplicated the stamps in different sizes and coloured them with alcohol markers. The background is blended with distress oxide inks using a leftover die-cut heart as a stencil. The sentiment is part of Wings-of-love sentiments bundle.

Rachael - Hello everyone. I am in love with this stamp set called Jingle all the way - I have used it so many times to make really cute and contemporary cards. I decided for this that Santa and his sleigh were going to be bright pink - I mean, why not?


Wendy - I love the Beary Christmas release, I had so much fun colouring this cute Bella Christmas Tree printable with my Copics.  I added the trees in the background too...

Naomi  - This week I used Winnie White Christmas collection, with all the snow around this week this is just how i feel!

Janelle - I used the Beary Christmas digital collection this week to make a circle card, I hope you like it...
