So, let's see the inspiration from the team for this week  - we've been creating lots of gorgeous projects for you... 


Rachael - Hi everyone. Have you seen the latest stamp and die release? It’s so fun and funky and I think it’s perfect for men and boys cards. I made this using a distress ink blended back ground. I then stamped, coloured and die cut the new hip hip hooray die. Simple, quick and easy for the males in you life!

Julie - This fun and festive New Year card features Winnie Celebrations- Anniversary Digital Image from Polkadoodles. The bubbly background was created using black cardstock, lunar paste, and a bubbly stencil, layered with some sparkling gold cardstock. Winnie is Copic Colored in her best black evening gown with gold glittery accents. Glossy dots allowed the champagne bottle and glasses to shine and shimmer because on this card front - It’s Time to Party! Winnie is attached to the card front with a spring wobbler allowing her to be a little tipsy! The inside sentiment reads “Save Water - Drink Champagne” from the Winnie Celebrations Sentiments 1. Full Details on my blog. Wishing you all a very Happy New Year! My Instagram, Facebook

Bea - Hey guys! Today I have for you a winter/new year card. Each year when we lived in the Midwest, my family and I would go tubing/sledding and play in the snow, since is snows so much there, we would receive the new year that way. I wanted to make a card that reminded me of that time, and this was perfect for that. I used the digital stamp Husky Hugs - Octavia Frosted Winter and the background Colouring scene 2 Christmas printable craft card making coloring page I colored my scene with copic alcohol markers, the sky with distress ink and a cloud stencil from my stash, also used a white paint pen to create the snow on the trees and under Octavia. I hope my card has inspired you to create today.


Carrianne - Today, I am sharing a new year card with the beautiful Champagne Celebration Colour digital image from Polkadoodles. I loved how easy and fun it was to make this, as it was my first time using a pre-coloured image. I began by printing the sentiment from the Happy New Year digital bundle onto a white panel and then die-cutting it with a scalloped frame. I then blended black and gold inks through a star stencil and adhered it to a black mat. Then, I attached it to a white card base. Next, I resized the image, printed it, and fussy cut it out. I then added foam tape to the image for dimension. I topped the card off by adding gold stars for a touch of sparkle. For more creative inspiration, be sure to follow me on Instagram @crafticarri



Taty – Hi friends, I'm sharing my inspiration for the New Year themed challenge. I chose the Winnie Wonderland Time will Tell digital stamp which I colored with Prismacolor in the following colors: face 1013-939, dress 919-903-1027, hair 1085-1093-1080-943, stockings 1009.
I created a tag using a die with irregular edges to cut the bright blue cardboard, on top I glued a white tag with a checkered texture obtained with a folder, finally I cut out the image precisely and applied it thickly to the tag. I added a printable sentiment from the Happy New Year collection.

Merja - The theme was New Year so I wanted to create something fun and glittery. I used glitter paint markers to create the fireworks on the black cardboard. I stamped the champagne bottle and the flying cork from Cheers Lovely stamp set and coloured them also with glitter paint markers. Then I stamped the flying cork and a sentiment from Bottoms Up stamp set to the background with gold ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. Lastly I taped the bottle and the cork on the background. It was super fun to do this! Unfortunately the pic taking wasn't so easy because of all the glitter but I hope it shows well enough the fun and colourful New Year's eve 😊

Wendy - Hi everyone! Look at this adorable little Gingerbread Cookie girl showing off all of her candy!. I can picture her dancing with excitement as she decorates her yummy gingerbread house. She's just one of the many sweet images available in the Gingerbread Bundle. You can find her in the Santa Mug kit and the gingerbread house is in the Snow Day kit. I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

So, let's see the inspiration from the team for this week  - we've been creating lots of gorgeous projects for you...


ENRICA - Hi crafty friends! Have you already prepared everything for Christmas? Or are you like me who always ends up doing everything at the last minute? Here is my square card using the adorable Robin Gift Branch digital image, colored with Copic. The sentiment is from the Bella Bear Christmas greetings and the embellies from the Baked With Love - Foliage digital download.


ENRICA Here is my square card using the adorable Cute Robins with Stockings digital stamp, colored with Copic. The sentiment is from the Bella Bear Christmas message sheets and the patterned paper from the Gingerbread Holly Papers 1.


Jenn B - Hello everyone! I used Printable Papers 3 - Winnie White Christmas for the background, then colored Choosing the Christmas Tree Elvis Wesley Moose with alcohol markers. I used some white Fun Flock on his hat and for snow accents on the tree. I attached him and the sentiment with foam dimensional tape. I then fussy-cut a couple of the candy canes from the paper to use as accents on the sentiment.


Revati - Hello crafty friends. Little teddy bears this Christmas will be so fun. How adorable is little Bella Bear Bauble. I used the pre-colored clipart version of little Bella Bear, which is absolutely perfect for your last minute christmas cards. For my sentiment, I kept it simple with the "Season's Greetings" from the Christmas Greetings Digi Stamp.


Jenn B - for my 2nd card, I used Printable Papers 3 - Winnie White Christmas for my background and coordinating paper to paper-piece his sweater. I colored Mistletoe Hello - Elvis Wesley Moose with alcohol markers and used red Stickles glue to highlight his scarf and the berries in the mistletoe. I attached him and the sentiment with foam dimensional tape, then dragged the edges of the card through a red ink pad.


Renske - Hello everyone! For this festive Christmas card, I started by colouring the Hot Chocolate - Gingerbread Holly digital stamp with alcohol markers and added highlights using a white gel pen for extra detail. The background features red, green, and white striped paper from the Theo Penguin Paper Bundle 2, which adds a cheerful holiday touch. I used the Theo Penguin - Greetings/Sentiments Bundle for the "Happy Holidays" sentiment, which perfectly complements the scene. To add depth, I layered die-cut branches, holly leaves, and red berries using foam tape. The entire design comes together to highlight the fun and festive spirit of Christmas. I hope you like it! Happy crafting!

CHRISTINE NANDRUP I coloured this cute Bella Bear in front of this door - she is so cute with her hot chocolate!


IRRE- Hello, for this week's challenge I created a Christmas card with the digital stamp Bearing gifts from Winnie Winterland. I colored the stamp with Copic alcohol markers. For the background, I used watercolor paper and added modeling paste through a snowflake stencil, colored it in with Distress ink and water, and to the modeling paste snowflakes, I added some glitter with a Wink of Stella brush. I decorated the card with a white net, die-cut flowers, and leaves with art stones. I also added a sentiment from the Bella Bear Christmas message sheets, quotes and sentiments.

Revati - Hello crafty friends, I have a cute little girl opening her christmas present along with her furry friends. I used the Winnie Celebrations 2 - Surprise Digi Stamp and colored it using my Spectrum Noir Tri Color Markers. For my sentiment, I used the Christmas Greeting Sentiment Digi Stamps. I love the font on this sentiment and thought that it would match perfectly with my focal point.


Judy: It's all about Christmas this week! I made a card using the Oh Deer Gingerbread Cookie Digistamp Bundle. These bundles are great, as they have everything you need for holiday crafting! I used one of the cute images and colored with pencils. It was fussy cut before adding to my card.The backgrounds done with 2 of the included papers and one of the sentiments and the pre-colored tree.

So, let's see the inspiration from the team for this new challenge - we've been creating lots of gorgeous projects for you... 

Bea - Hey friends!! Today I have for you a very simple money card, perfect for Christmas time. For my money card I used the digital image Pickles Hedgehog snowy birds that I have cut with a stitched circle die from my stash, and I placed on a piece of glitter cardstock also from my stash, I glued this on a belly band so my card would be secure and money wouldn't come out of the card. I also use the pattern paper Paper Patterns Gingerbread Cookie. I colored my image with alcohol markers. Until next time!!

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!
