So let's see what the team have made for you this week...
Hi - Rachael here, and I wanted to share a gorgeous card I made with the floral elements of the latest release called Oh Deer. In the pack, in a folder called florals and foliage, there is an amazing pale pink poinsettia, and as soon as I saw it, I knew it would make a stunning card. I pasted the image into Word, and once I'd sized it right, I copied and pasted it four times. I was then able to pick out the bits to layer up into the beautiful decoupage. I create height and dimension using foam pads.
I used a kraft card base and the scalloped oval dies set, then cut out the word Joy from the sparkling Christmas die set, layering it all together using foam tape and glue.
Julie - Hello! Our theme was Fall, but here in Canada, fall is almost over, it's chilly, and we're awaiting that first frosty snowflake of fall! So I gave adorable Freddy Fox Snowflake a cozy little makeover using printable papers from the Freddy Fox Collection. This is a fabulous scrap-busting project, with just three pieces of patterned paper measuring 4" × 5¼", 4¾" × 2¾", and 3¾" × 2½". I colored Freddy with Copic markers, added a few leaves from the Freddy Fox Ephemera Collection, and finished with a sweet sentiment from Freddy Fox Quotes and a little sparkle. The best part? This design works beautifully as either a greeting card or the cover of a small handmade notebook! Whether you're sending a note or jotting down little thoughts, Freddy Fox has you covered—cold paws and all!

Maria - Autumn is still here, and I absolutely love it – even when it rains! There’s nothing better than snuggling up, lighting the wood burner and enjoying some cosy crafting time with a lovely cup of tea.
The beautiful elf SERENITY Magical clear stamp is just perfect for this kind of project, sitting so peacefully on her mushroom. I coloured her using warm autumn shades with Stylefile Markers and Polychromos pencils, adding a few highlights with a white gel pen.
For the finishing touch, I picked a gorgeous sentiment from the Christmas & Everyday Sentiment Strip Pack and brought everything together on a coordinating watercolour background.
What about you? Are you still enjoying your autumn crafting, or have you already moved on to winter projects and Christmas makes?

Ana - Hi crafty friends! As promised last week, I’m back with another easel card featuring once again, the Winnie Autumn Wishes collection! Since last week's easel card was so much fun to make, I decided to create another one using a different design but using the same beautiful autumn collection.
This card comes together very easily. I simply created a standard card base but with another score, layered coordinating papers from the collection, added a sentiment and digi stamp. I hope this project inspires you to give easel cards a try. They're simple to make but always make such a nice interactive card. Don't forget to follow me on my social media for more cardmaking, scrapbooking, mini albums, and crafty inspiration. Happy crafting!

Nelly - Celebrating autumn with these three pretty treat boxes, featuring warm kraft tones, delicate white stencilling and white heat embossing background for added texture and elegance. The gorgeous floral arrangements, printed from the Hello Autumn Collection, bring together sunny sunflowers, rich autumn leaves and vibrant berries to create the perfect seasonal finish.
Wendy - Hello everyone wishing you a wonderful week, I hope the weather is being kind where you are.....How is it November already ? I blinked and then it's nearly Christmas. Our theme this week from Nikky was Winter Animals with a pocket so I decided I would create another Christmas card for this year. I decided I wanted to create a cute and funny card for my Husband - We love to have Fish Finger butties (sandwiches) for our tea - It's a thing you know LOL......and there is the most perfect sentiment in the Theo Penguin Collection that I knew I had to use. I chose the adorable Cecil Walrus digital stamp and coloured him with my promarkers , adding a simple Christmas sentiment at the bottom of the panel before printing out. Next I used one of the pre-coloured scenes from Theo to layer onto my base card with a layer of dark navy card. I added lots of lovely sparkle to the background and set this aside to dry.
I cut away the top portion of the Cecil panel and then added this to the base card, using foam tape on the bottom and the sides, leaving the top open to create a simple pocket. Next I created a simple tag, covering each side with watery paper from the Theo collection and the Mermazing collection and then the funny sentiment was added to the front and back of the tag... I love how the funny sentiment is hidden in the pocket.The finishing touches were a few sparkly gems around the design and some little white gelly roll pen highlights. I know that my Hubby will love it ! I hope you like my card and will join in the fun in the blog challenge this week. Have a fantastic week. Love and crafty hugs x.
