We will also be announcing our overall Winner of our Feather in Your Cap :-)

Now onto the fabulous inspiration from the Design Team.

Helen - It will soon be here only a few more weeks to go, Yeah!!!  I love Christmas and so do Twiggy and Toots, so I've used their Festive Fun collection for my little bit of inspiration.  There's even loads of fab templates you can use.  I used a scene and embellies from the CD and one of the fab images and coloured it with copics. Merry Christmas PF fans!!

Alysha - Hello Polkadoodlers, this week I have been getting messy and created a lovely spritzed card This has been created using the BRAND NEW release of Stamp Soup Festive Christmas Kit

Looking forward to seeing your projects this week, hugs Aly xxx

Pauline - I have made a wall hanging using the fabulous new Festive Christmas Collection, the adorable Robin and beautiful Poinsettias are from the CD, I have printed them out and fussy cut them - I love fussy cutting, I find it so relaxing.  The sentiment is also from the CD, I printed it onto one of the backing papers.

Lisa -  I like to make a variety of Christmas cards, some more complex and some simple easy to produce designs. For these cards I have used the Twiggy & Toots Festive Fun Download Collection. I faded the bauble digis to pale grey and placed them behind the sentiment, before printing onto white linen card. 

Karon - I had to finally get my Christmas hat on :-)  So I decided to have a play with the wonderful Twiggy & Toots Festive Fun Collection.  All the elements are from this wonderful collection. (The aperture card was designed using by electronic cutting machine).  It's meant to be a door and then you open the door to the super cute carolers Twiggy and Toots :-)

Carol - I've had a lot of fun with the new  Festive Christmas Collection  and added some papers and the most gorgeous Angel Owl from the Twiggy & Toots Festive Fun Collection. I printed Angel Owl and coloured her with my copics, fussy cut her out and then added her to the card layered up with papers, a tag, a flower and some holly leaves.  So much festive fun.

Elena - I used the Husky Hugs of Octavia collection Frosted Winter, the scenery is made with Picknix Collection 2 - Gingerbread Twist.

Ruth:  I've made some really quick and simple pillow boxes for gift cards for my three nieces this Christmas - I've used Twiggy and Toots Festive Fun and added one of the little characters as a gift tag.

Such fabulous creations and inspiration.

Now lets take a look at the fabulous creations this week...

Ruth:  I've made a gift card wallet and used papers printed from Picknix 3:  Nordic Winter and added a bow made from contrasting papers.  No template used for the wallet - I just made it up as I went along!  The chunky button I found in my stash (attached with a fair amount of glossy accents) and the bow slides off so you can open the wallet.

Naz - The image I have used here on this project is called "OWL IN A PEAR TREE" and it is part of the "TWIGGY & TOOTS FESTIVE FUN" collection.

I used Lyra pencils and Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Pen to colour the image and then added some

Glitter Snow.

The sentiments are also from the Twiggy & Toots Festive Fun Collection.

Caz.- I have gone along with the Reds and Greens for my easel christmas card...And ive used the cute Happy Christmas Digi available as a single digi here...Also the Digi, Papers, sentiment. And  the Candy cane and holly leaves cutting file...Can be found in this fab collection..Available as a DOWNLOAD. Or if you prefer on a CD.

Julie -- I've spent the week decorating the nursing home where I work.  I've seen all the tinsel, baubles, and glitter I need to see for quite some time now, so you won't see too much of it on this project.  I used the Picknix 3 -- Nordic Winter Collection on this card.  It is available in digital download for instant gratification (yes!) or in CD.

Bev here with a little hybrid crafting. I too used Picknix 3, Nordic Winter to make my traditional Christmas card. Its fabulous for all your Christmas crafty projects and you can download it instantly here too so ideal for those of you (like me) who have left everything until the last minute.

Anjie -  I've used papers and embellishments from the amazing Picknix 2 Gingerbread Twist collection.  I've printed this onto 300gsm cream card and then used my scanNcut to cut all the embellishments out. The base card is an 8x8 cream card. I've decoupaged the Santa image to make it stand out even more. Please visit my blog for more info and more photos.

Claire C We're spoiled for choice this week as there are so many gorgeous Christmassy goodies in the Polkadoodles store!! I've used lots of goodies from the  Picknix 2 Gingerbread Twist collection. to create this card. All the precoloured images and embellies are so handy for this busy time of year.

What fantastic makes from the team!

Christmas in July with Studio 12

Hi, Miria here with a new project for Studio 12.

It's a quick and easy Christmas card: it's only 175 days to the Season, it's time to start making cards :)

The image I used a coloured stampie I've never used before, a cute stocking with tag. As the papers - I do love them - and tickets it is from Picknix collection 2 Gingerbread twist. I just added two paper clips embellished with some ribbon.

Hope you liked it

Hugs from Italy, Miria

Gingerbread Twist - not just for Christmas!

Hi folks,

JAN here today 

with a little something using the Picknix 2 Gingerbread Twist CD. 

I got to thinking how I could use it for something other than Christmas. 

Here's what I came up with ...

I printed the gingerbread recipe onto some of the fab paper 

and added several elements from the CD.  

The 'gingerbread' title is printed using a font on my pc 

and the little recipe tab is stamped from one of my own stamps.

I would love to see your 'non-Christmassy' designs using the CD, 

so what are you waiting for ??

Hugz, Jan xx
