So let's see what the Design Team have been making this week...

Kim S - It's hard to believe it's autumn time already. And paper crafting world already working on Christmas.Are you a work early Christmas card creator? Or a procrastinator like me?There's a new challenge happening over on the Digi Choosday blog. We sure hope you'll enter. Cash prizes to be won.For my design team project this week I decorated two treat bags for halloween. I coloured two of the Winnie Wednesday digis. And my paper choices are Trick or Treat papers 1
So adorable. I chose a pastel colour palette for my images which i coloured with my Copic markers. And then used them as hanging tags on the bags.If colouring isn't your cup of tea the Winnie Wednesday set also comes with coloured images; which makes it so easy to put together some fun halloween projects. Happy Halloween crafting!

Kaye - It's not Halloween when there's no treats. In this weeks' challenge, we created a gable box to place all the treats we hand out to the trick or treaters. We first printed the Halloween Trick or Treat printable papers bundle 2 on a cardstock, then we printed, colored and fussy cut the Boo Ghost Halloween Gnome Digistamp to add cuteness to this SPOOKtacular box.

Ana - Hi crafty friends! I’m Ana from My Cat and Crafts, and I’m so happy you’re here!Today I’m sharing a fun little Halloween project using some adorable goodies from Polkadoodles! I created a Halloween Treat Box with a card-style cover - perfect for gifting small sweets or spooky surprises this October. I used the Cute Little Witch digital stamp, cute pattern papers from Boo Halloween, and a sentiment from the Halloween Trick or Treat Printable Greetings Set. It’s such a fun way to mix paper crafting and digital designs - and I added touches of glitter, buttons, and a cute tassel drawer handle! I’d love for you to follow my crafty adventures over on Instagram - @my.cat.and.crafts and Facebook at My Cat and Crafts. Come say hi!


Nina - Trick or Treat? These two Halloween boxes are just perfect for handing out sweet little goodies in a spooky style! I used the Stripes and Harlequin digi paper from the °• Halloween Trick or Treat •° set — perfect for that eerie Halloween vibe. The boxes are decorated with the gorgeous Wednesday girls from °• Winnie Wednesday Pumpkin •° and °• Winnie Wednesday Bat Dog •°. Styled in black, grey, and white, with bold orange pumpkins and a cute little bat dog.The sentiments come from the °• Halloween Trick or Treat Greetings •° set. These spooky boxes are ideal for gifting treats in a creative and fun way — just in time for Halloween! What would you fill them with?

Wendy - Happy October everyone - are you ready for some more Halloween fun ? Today I have a spooky popup frame card to share using the Spider Gnome from the Gnome Trick or Treat collection.....I'm not a fan of spiders at all but these are quite cute really...LOL I've coloured the gnome with promarkers and added fluorescent yellow to the eyes and mouth of the pumpkin. The background paper is from the Boo Halloween collection paper bundle. The spooky gnome has been partially die cut and fussy cut out so he hangs in the card aperture from the cobweb...love how he looks. Have a fabulous day and don't forget to join in with the challenge.... Love and spooky hugs from Wendy J.


KM - Looking for a spooktacular accessory for your Halloween outfit? Why not make your own earrings! Simply print the design from the Halloween Trick or Treat printable word art on shrink plastic, punch holes, heat until it shrinks, then add jump rings, hooks, and tassels. For an extra touch, create custom packaging using the using the Trick or Treat printable papers. These make great party accessories, gifts, or even items to sell. It’s quick, fun, and a perfect way to add a handmade flair to your Halloween look!

Ana - Hi everyone! Sharing my Spider Treat Holder featuring Pumpkin Girl Boo Halloween. This week’s Digi Choosday prompt is Spiders, so I created this fun and easy spider treat holder! I used the Pumpkin Girl Boo Halloween digi because of her adorable spider earrings — such a perfect match for the theme. Made with a plastic jar cap, black pipe cleaner legs, googly eyes, and shredded paper, it’s a quick DIY that’s both spooky and sweet. I colored the digi with alcohol markers and popped her inside — ready to gift with mini treats! Follow me for more crafty ideas on Instagram @my.cat.and.crafts and Facebook at My Cat and Crafts!

So let's see what the Design Team have been making this week...



Kim S - I just can't get enough of these cute gnome digis from the Bee Buzzy set. Aren't they just the cutest?Which one(s) are your favs? I love Daisy Delight. For this weeks design team challenge I chose the What's the Buzz set . Just so cute. Coloured in him in yellow and black and then added some floral stems that i chose from the flower digital pak that is also part of the set. My flowery paper selection comes from Winnie Daisy Fairy ll pack 4. After fussy cutting everything out, I layered all my pieces onto a round card and added my sentiment. Don't forget to enter this week's challenge. Prize money to be won. We'd love to see what you've been working on this week.
Kaye - This week Technology takes the centerstage and what better way to present this by using Tech/ipad/phone/tablet - Lil Miss Sugarpops and placing her on a card with floating pixels behind her. This digi stamp reminded me of how looking at my phone makes me want to message my friends which is why I added the sentiment "Missin' You". So go on, message or ring your friends, I'm sure they miss you too. My Instagram: @kayeskraftivitee_

ANA - Hi crafty friends! Today I’m sharing a cute and functional Notepad and Pen Holder I created using Polkadoodles goodies! I used the adorable Texting Girl digi stamp, which I colored with alcohol markers and glitter pens. The patterned papers are from the sweet and cheerful Winnie Daisy Fairy printable collection — I chose a lavender color with subtle flora patterns to complement the hair color of the girl, and I really like how it turned out. This little project makes a great desk companion or gift idea! If you’d like to recreate it, I’ve shared full step-by-step instructions (with measurements and scoring guide) here. Don’t forget to join us over at the Digi Choosday Challenge for fun weekly inspiration and prizes! And if you want to see more crafty ideas, follow me here: Instagram: @my.cat.and.crafts Facebook: My Cat and Crafts Happy crafting!
Martine - Hello, back for you with another card. I have got Knowledge is everything for you colored up. As always colored with my Distress inks. And you might ( maybe) not see it on the picture, but i filled her glasses with Dimensional Magic from ModPodge. You get that great look of real glass !Then i used that great looking snips.... Rebel with Attitude Easy Snips ..that is. There are some realy quarky snaps there! Lol...
Nina - Shopping is my cardio! I've been getting creative again – this time with a cute little card featuring the lovely Wanda from the digi stamp set Wanda Working.
Let’s be honest: who doesn’t love a cozy shopping session from the couch, filling up the cart with fabulous finds and totally losing track of time? That’s exactly what Wanda is doing – hard at work on her laptop while treating herself to a little online shopping bliss! This card is perfect as a gift voucher – whether for a fun shopping day in the city or a digital spree from the comfort of home. I designed it using the mint green digi paper in a charming shabby chic look from the Pretty Printable Papers 2 – Helga Hippo set. And the quote “Shopping is my cardio” comes from the Messages and Quotes – Wanda set. Could it be any more fitting? It’s like it was made for shopaholics!

Ana Hi crafty friends! I’m Ana from My Cat and Crafts, and I’m so excited to share another fun make with you today! You can find me on Instagram @my.cat.and.crafts and on Facebook at My Cat and Crafts.Today’s project features none other than the fabulous Wanda, and I just had to pair her with this hilarious (and oh-so-relatable!) sentiment from the Wanda’s Messages and Quotes sentiment pack:“My favourite emails are the ones that say my order has shipped.” Honestly, isn’t that the truth? For the background, I created a colorful slimline card base decoration using layered die cuts of patterned papers from the Winnie’s Let’s Hangout bundle — so many cute prints to play with! I colored Wanda using alcohol markers and glitter markers because, let’s face it, Wanda is a sparkly, spunky girl who deserves to shine! To make the sentiment pop against the white, I layered it on vellum, and for a bit of extra color, I added enamel dots and used foam tape to raise both Wanda and the sentiment for dimension. If you want to see the full step-by-step guide for this card, hop on over to my blogAnd don’t forget to follow me on my crafty adventures on Instagram and Facebook for more projects and inspiration!


Thanks so much to the team for their GORGEOUS inspiration this week!
