Let's see the inspiration from the team - we've been creating lots of gorgeous projects for you... 

Today we're thrilled to welcome Taty, Carrianne, Becky and Bea to the design team - we look forward to sharing all their amazing projects with you, please follow their lovely blogs and socials! 

Becky - Hi everyone, I'm so happy to be on the team! For my first project I inked the card background with a water reactive inkpad and then coloured this adorable Bella Bear Snowman digistamp with Spectrum Noir markers. I added a couple of snowflakes to finish off. 

Taty - For my first DT inspiration I created a Christmas tag with colors other than the classic green and red to follow the theme of the weekly challenge. I chose the Poisenetta Reindeer Christmas Gingerbread Cookie color digital stamp and I am very satisfied because the image printed on the cardboard respects the colors with a perfect result. I love gingerbread. For the background I used Christmas paper patterns 2 digital paper, which has a wonderful rendering when printed.

Bea - For this project, I used a piece of kraft cardstock for my card base, and the Paper Patterns Gingerbread Cookie, which I cut with a die from my stash to be smaller than my card base, leaving about 1/2'' around it or so. I also created a window to make my card a partial shaker, and used a sequin mix from my stash. I used the beautiful digital image Star Christmas Gingerbread Cookie digital stamp which I colored with alcohol markers. To finish my card I added a sentiment from the Sweet Christmas greetings bundle. You can check out the reel to see how I made this card by visiting my Instagram Page.

Carrianne - Today, I created a CAS card using the Snowman-Elvis Wesley Moose digital image. After coloring the image with Copic Markers, I used a frame die to cut it out. I printed the greeting from the Elvis Wesley Moose Themed Set onto blue cardstock. I cut it out with a sentiment strip die, then adhered it to the panel with foam tape. To complete the sentiment, I opted to cut the mistletoe from the Mistletoe Hello Set and adhered it directly to the panel with liquid glue. Blue sequins added a finishing touch to the card.

Julie Nagle - Today’s design showcases two images of Theo the Penguin from PolkaDoodles, Snowball Tree & Snowball Sleigh. A festive scene in a snowy setting shows teamwork creating a Christmas tree made of snowballs. The card has a window on the front to peek into the snowy 3D scene with snow-covered hills and a playful snow flurry background paper, Theo Penguin Paper Bundle 4. A fun Christmas Greeting finishes off this super fun Christmas card. My Instagram/Facebook

Wendy - Hi everyone! We're getting ready for Christmas, and Polkadoodles has oodles of Gingerbread Cookie bundles ready for you cards. For my card today, I used the adorable Frosted Gingerbread Reindeer from the Cute Noel Gingerbread Cookie Bundle. and I paired him with the Gingerbread house from the Snow Day Gingerbread Cookie Bundle. I colored them with my Copic markers.

Merja - I decided to go with a Christmas scene theme. I used Scenic Christmas stencil and Distress Inks to create the upper part of the card. Then I added some trees and the sentiment at the bottom part with Night Sky stamp set. Lastly I added some falling snow with white paint pen.

Rachael - Hi everyone. I’m in full Christmas making mode and every year I use this stamp set to make quirky and fun cards. Oh Camel ye faithful is one of my all time favourite stamps and this card is a quick easy make if you need to make lots!
