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!!!
