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


Judy: I've created an ornament for my DT project this week. The focal image is Santa's Suit - Winnie North Pole, which I colored with Prismacolor Pencils and fussy cut. The base of the ornament is a scalloped circle die cut. I fashioned a rosette for the next layer using one of the
printable papers from the Christmas Joy Digiscrap Download BundleTwo more layers die cut circles were added. I die cut a tree using Layering Trees Cutting Dies and placed it behind the focal, which is popped with foam tape. I added a piece of sparkly twine to finish.

Renske - The design team was tasked with making something other than a card. I made a tag using the digital stamp 'North Pole - Winnie North Pole' and the digital paper 'Theo Penguin Paper Bundle 1'. I used sentiments from the set 'Christmas Greetings, Quotes, and Sentiments' and added dimension to the tag by colouring the edges with blue ink and adding two snow hills. I coloured the stamp with alcohol markers, added paper glaze for dimension and used glitter pen for shine. I decorated the tag with embellishments resulting in a festive tag that really captures the spirit of the holidays!

Tinne - Hi everyone! Tinne here and today I want to show you a gift tag that I made. I cut the tag out using a die from my stash, and covered the edges and top with low tack tape. I applied some Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide ink on the tag, heavy on the bottom, lighter when I went up. I splattered the tag with water, dried it, and splattered it with Lucky Clover Distress Oxide ink and white acrylic paint. I also cut out a snow hill using a curved die. I put some foam tape behind it and glued it on the tag. I colored the Which Way Theo Penguin digital stamp using the following Copic colour combo’s:
  • Scarfs and pole: R39, R37, R35
  • Blush cheeks: R32, R30
  • Penguins: W10, W8, W6, W4
  • Shadows penguins: W1, W0, W00
  • Shadow in the snow: G00, G0000
  • Beak penguins: Y35, Y32
I put foam tape behind my image, and glued it on the tag. As a finishing touch, I gave the tag a red and white ribbon and two little silver bells. I hope you like it!

Deborah  - Hello everyone! This week I am excited to be working on my Christmas gift tags. For my tag, I selected the adorable "Snowy Footprints" uncolored digi from the Winnie White Christmas Collection. I just love the sweet image of Winnie with her animal friends. For the background, I added a printable paper and a sentiment from the Baked with Love Bundle. This bundle is a "one stop shop". You get great digital images, papers, sentiments, embellishments, tags, and design sheets all at a discounted price. Listed below are the Copic marker colors that I used if you would like to color her using the colors that I selected...
  • R: 08, 27, 29, 39, 59
  • BG: 10, 11, 13, 32, 57, 72, 75, 78
  • B: 000, 01

  • E: 000, 00, 11, 31, 33, 70, 74

Natalia - This time I've prepared a small wooden hoop with a Christmas message. The most commonly used colours for this occasion are red, green, and white. So, I decorated it using coloured printable Poinsettia Wreath from one of our latest collections.
It's simple to make and would be a nice home decoration!



Sabina - Hello crafty friends. Today I'm sharing my Christmas tag. I've used papers from Gingerbread Holly Papers set 1 and Distress ink papers plain set. Stamp  Polar Bear - Gnome Festive Fun is coloured with markers and the sentiment is part of Christmas greetings, quotes, sentiments bundle.

Enrica - Hello everyone! For my project this week I made a gift box featuring the fun Winnie Hang On digital stamp colored with Copic. I added Word Art sentiments from the Christmas Joy bundle, patterned paper from the Helga Hippo Paper Heaven 4 bundle, a little tag and a ribbon. I would be particularly happy to receive a box like this, especially now that I have discovered that candy canes are delicious!


Jane Robinson - With the festive season almost upon us, how about a quick and simple way to make your own gift tags? I used the Beary Christmas collection. It's a collection I paid for with my own money before becoming a member of the design team. I bought the whole collection and that means I'm able to play around with the pre-coloured images to my hearts content. When time is of the essence, go for pre-coloured. If you have an hour to spare, go for a digi.
Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Love 
Jane R xoxo

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

Nunzia: A tag is always a good way to match a gift, so I decided to colour, with alcohol markers, the cute Noel-christmas-mouse and add just a few details. A strip Winnie White Christmas digi paper bundle and a sentiment from Winnie celebrations Sentiments digi-kit 1.




Merja - This time I used cutie Bauble Hat Bella Christmas Bear image and coloured it with alcohol markers and some white gel pen. I also added some glitter glue on the hat, let it dry and then fussy cut the bear. The circle background I cut with Stitched and Pierced Nested Circle die set and then I stamped the sentiment from Wonderful Christmas Stamp Set. The background paper is from Set 1 Christmas Papers. Lastly I added a few acrylic diamonds.




Rachael - Hi crafting friends. This week I thought I would use one of the beautiful new releases to make a Christmas card but in non traditional colours. I know poinsettias are not blue, but that’s the great thing about craft you can make things whatever colour you like! For this I used the beautiful new poinsettia-wreath- combined with an embossed background and silver card it makes a stunning Christmas card.




Pam - Today I'm sharing Polkadoodles Winter Smiles Ice Skating Snowmen using a color palette provided for our Design Team of pinks, blues and browns. I started by layering the skating couple on Polkadoodles paper from the Love Always Collection, selecting one that would match the color palette. After printing, I Copic colored this cute couple and added the snow mounds covered in Star Dust Stickles with the 'Let It Snow' sentiment in the center. I added the coordinating blue mat and secured the layers to the card base, then added the organza bow to finish my card




Wendy
- Hi everyone! I know it's not even Thanksgiving yet, but I'm in the Christmas mood! One of my all time favorite Polkadoodles bundles is the Winnie White Christmas Big Kahuna Kit. It's absolutely cuteness overload! For my project this week, I chose the Time to Give digi stamp. I love creating backgrounds and filling my cards with color, but there are so many adorable characters in this stamp that it's really all you need to create a beautiful card. I just love Winnie and all of her adorable friends. How are your Christmas cards coming along? It will be here before you know it. We would love to see all of your creations. Thank you for looking!

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

Judy: The DT was asked to created projects with a "Christmas Gifts" theme. My card was made with the Wrap it Up - Winnie Heavenly Clear Stamp Set. She was colored with Prismacolor Pencils and die cut into an oval shape. I popped her with foam tape onto an embossed patterned paper background from Christmas Joy Digiscrap Download Bundle. The sentiment was die cut using the Merry Christmas Cutting Die. I added ribbon, a bow and 3 red pearls.

Natalia - Christmas is coming :) ... this is the most wonderful time of the year. I've prepared today a metal jar for Christmas cookies. I decorated it with coloured printable papers and dig stamps. I used the Gingerbread Bella Christmas bear - colour clipart from Bear-y Christmas collection. It's simple to make and would be a nice gift for someone!



Tinne Peeters- Hi everyone! Looking for a quick way to create a Christmas card? The Santa’s Workshop Production Line – precoloured Winnie Northpole digital stamp is your way to go! It’s a very fun image, no colouring needed. I created a background for this image using some brown Distress Oxide inksto create the floor. A brick wall stencil and some pearl coloured paste is perfect to create a brick wall effect. I printed a beatiful coordinating light blue pattern paper from the Winnie White Christmas paper pack and glued it on a white card base. I glued my background on top of this, showing just a little bit of the printed paper on the edges of my card. I put some foam tape behind the Winnie stamp and adhered it on my card. I white embossed a sentiment from my stash on a red paper strip as a finishing touch. I hope you like the result!










RenskeAs a member of the design team, we were asked to create a Christmas card with the theme 'Christmas presents'. Inspired by this idea, I thought, "Why not make the card itself look like a present? For this card, I used the beautiful digital stamp Christmas Shopping from Polkadoodles, along with the paper bundle Theo Penguinand the set Christmas Greetings Sentiment. For this unique card, I used three different patterns from the set, printed the pattern with the perfectly positioned digital stamp and coloured it with alcohol markers. I added highlights and details with a white gel pen and finished the card with a charming red bow and a blue embossed star button. The result is a festive Christmas card that is as delightful to look at as it is to give!"

Sabina - blurb Hello crafty friends! We want to see Christmas presents this week. For this purpose, I am sharing with you a cute project in which I used the Sizzix Kitchen Canisters die. The base is made of cardboard, and the candy "container" is a shampoo box. I combined green, red and brown papers. The patterned papers are from the Gingerbread Holly Papers set 1. I colored the Christmas Gift - Gingerbread Holly digital stamp with Ohuhu markers and cut it out with a rectangular stitch die. I punched a hole in the lid of the container so that I could hang the sentiment from the Gingerbread Holly printable Greetings/Sentiments set.


Enrica - Hi crafty friends! The project of this week is allabout Christmas Gifts. For my tag I used the sweet Winnie Christmas Shopping digital stampcoloured with Copic. Patterned paper is from the Gingerbread Holly Papers 1.
added words from the Christmas Joy bundle and embellishments from an old Christmas set. I love wrapping gifts, and you?


Hello everyone! This week I am excited to be working on my Christmas Cards. For my card, I selected the adorable "Time to Give" un-colored digital image from the Winnie White Christmas Collection. I just love the sweet image of Winnie gifting to her animal friends. For the background, I added a printable paper from the Festive Christmas Collection and some sentiments from the Baked with Love Bundle . Both of these bundles are such an amazing value. You get great digi images, papers, sentiments, embellishments, tags, and design sheets all at a discounted price.

Listed below are the Copic marker colors that I used if you would like to color her using the colors that I selected:
  • R: 08, 29, 39, 59
  • BG: 10, 11, 13, 32, 57, 72, 75, 78
  • B: 000, 01
  • RV: 11
  • C: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8
  • E: 00, 11, 31, 33, 70, 74


Jane - Hi there, Jane here. I adore this project. I think it’s amazing to make your own complete gift packaging, and there’s nothing to stop you making everything to match with digital images. The only limit is the size of paper you’re able to print on and the size of the gifts. I used Reindeer Christmas Bear Beary Christmas Sentiments Plain Jane printable texture for the card and envelope, the tag and the wrapping. How adorable to give to someone you love when all the elements coordinate beautifully. I added all my digital images into Canva (I have pro), but this can easily be done using the free version. I played around with the images until I was happy with the layout, printed off and went to town. I have the file saved, so if I want to do more with the same design, I can print and go. Perfect.


Have a lovely day :D
