We are thrilled to say hello and give a warm welcome to Dessy this week - we'd love you to leave her some love on her socials and add her to your follow list!


Dessy - Hello everyone - so happy to be here creating with Polkadoodles, I would love it if you checked out my instagram and said hello! I fell in love with this cute fox for this challenge (digi stamp: Hot Chocolate Cup Macaron Coffee Autumn Fall Fox and for the window i used: Build A Scene - Window without a view background for colouring) - hope you like it! See you next time!

Wendy - Hello everyone and happy Digi Choosday - It's all about November birthdays this week for the team so I've made a card for my BFF -Who says that a Witch is just for Halloween ? We love everything Witchy (Practical Magic is one of my favourite films), so I chose sweet Matilda witch from the Spellbinding witches collection, coloured with my promarkers along with papers from the Gnome Trick or Treat collection and Winnie Wednesday Halloween. For some extra witchyiness I added a black cat and a couple of potion bottles from the Autumn/Fall Halloween Treats bundle and a special sentiment from the Rebel girl collection. Have a fabulous week!


Maritza: Hello my crafty friends, for this week I made a Easel card using a digital image Dancing Queen, of HoneyPie collection, painted with colours pencils, digital papers are Autumn/fall papers 3. I think this easel card model is one of my favorites. Happy crafting!

CHRISTIN - For my new card I used the fabolous Bella Bear with lots of gifts. It’s perfect for Christmas but also for a birthday card. I made a diamond fold card which you can also handle as easel card. I colored her with my alcohol markers in my favorite color combo.


Huge thanks to the design team for all their inspiration today - we hope we've given you lots of ideas to use in your own cards - remember! We LOVE you to copy the ideas we show you, it's what we're here for!

We also have exciting news! 

So let's see what the Design Team have been making this week...we hope you're inspired by all these different types of closures on the team's projects!...


Today we are also saying a big HELLO & WELCOME to new Design Team member Jenny - we know you're going to love her projects and we're thrilled to have her on the team!


Jenny - I'm so happy to be on the team! Do you find yourself needing some quick masculine Christmas cards? I created this card using the Snowman Elvis Wesley Moose SVG. By using the Elvis Wesley Moose themed sentiments I was able to add it directly on the Elvis Wesley Moose themed papers before she printed it. Adding the papers to black cardstock and offsetting them to the background creates more visual interest. Follow me - Crafting with Jenny on Instagram and Facebook.

Megan - Need a masculine Christmas card? I like to stick to traditional Christmas colors with bolder letters and bigger patterns. I used one of the larger patterns from the Elvis Wesley Moose themed papers for the background. I paired it with 2 of the bolder looking sentiments from Winnie White Christmas Sentiments. There are so many fun fonts in this digital download, I love being able to resize a sentiment to just the right size to fit my card. The adorable Pup on the front with the gift box is Cooper Christmas Puppy Dog Gift Box. I really don't think anyone can resist this sweet pup.
Ohuhu Marker Colors Used:
Dog Colors: WG050, WG070, WG090, NG07, R1, R9
Hat, Scarf and Bow on box: R1, R170, R180, CGIIOO, CGO20
Green Box: GY8, GY43, G170, G2 - Gold glitter pen
Megan Cooper (@lazydazestampin)

Jane – All the elements on my cheeky slimline card are from the GINGERBREAD COOKIE COLLECTION.

Candace - For today's challenge project, the theme is Christmas, make a card for a man and no square cards. I used the image Lantern Bella Christmas Bear to make this arch shaped card. The sentiment is from Winnie White Christmas and the pattern papers are from Gingerbread Holly Papers 1.

Betsy - Hello everyone! Making this Freddy Fox shaker card was so easy with the Autumn Fall Fox digital stamp and papers. I sized my image in the computer and printed it out onto white card stock. I die cut my snow globe using a die from my stash. I used a satin white for the globe/snow part and a woodgrain brown for the base. I colored my image using Copic markers. I assembled my snowglobe and adhered it to the blue background paper that I had used a 3D snowflake embossing folder on. I covered my A2 size card base with an extra sparkly paper and added Stickles and my sentiment.
Copic colors used: W0, W1, W3, W5, W7, YR23, V12, V15,V17 V000, V01
So easy! Til next time...Betsy
Kim Stewart - For this week's Digi Choosday we we're challenged to design a non-square Christmas card for a male recipient. For my project, I chose a Side Step card format and used one of the charming Elvis Wesley per-coloured images on my card.  Surprisingly I used no decorative papers this week as I found the card too busy with the decorative paper AND the coloured images. I add some extra festive cheer, and included ephemera elements from the new Gingerbread Cookie digital bundles . As a final thoughtful touch, I added a pocket on the back to hold a gift card.

Huge thanks to the design team for all their inspiration today - we hope we've given you lots of ideas to use in your own cards - remember! We LOVE you to copy the ideas we show you, it's what we're here for!

Today we are also saying a big HELLO & WELCOME to new Design Team members Dessy and Anna - we know you're going to love their projects and we're thrilled to have them on the team!


Dessy - Super happy to join the team! The moment I saw this stamp, I had this idea of an ice skating lake during sunset. Here are the stamps I used: Ice Skating Snowman & Bear and for the background Colouring scene 4 coloring page...

Anna B - Today I I made a card with an envelope included. For that I used the nice background paper from the Wanda collection called the Plain Janes. Then I choose the nice digi stampSnowman Friends from the Frosty Smiles downloads (also available as a clear stamp too!) and coloured it with my Ohuhu markers.
I Used Ohuhu colours: 
The Hearts: R4, The Noses: YR3, The Snowman (left): MG020, The Snowman (right): RG030
Envelope (snowman left): V030, Envelope (Snowman right): BG8, the Arms: Y12

Shruti
 - This time the challenge theme was Halloween 🎃. So I created this 🎃 Pumpkin shaped card/tag using Pumpkin Girl Boo Halloween. Hope you like it as much as I love making this 💜🧡.

Wendy - Hello everyone Happy October and a happy Digi Choosday!Today I'm getting in to the Christmas vibes (It's not long off !) with a cute Gingerbread Snowman for my card. He's from the fabulous new Gingerbread Cookie collection and was perfect for out challenge theme. We also were asked to make a card with a pocket on the front so I've created a simple pocket and included some tags from the Gingerbread Cookie collection that can be used by the card recipient. I added an extra sentiment onto the card too so it doesn't look bare when the tags have been used..... Have a lovely crafty week everyone. Love and hugs Wendy xxx


Maritza: Hello, my crafty friends, for this week, I made a card using digital image Frostella Shopping Haul, painted with colours pencils. Papers are digital of collection Ponsettia Wreath Printable, I loved all the papers in this collection, and although I like to use cold colors and snowflakes with the snowman images, I have used the traditional red and green colors, and the result is fantastic for Christmas. I have made a pocket in the front to place a candy and a label or some chocolate. Happy Crafting!
Nat Martin - On this occasion I created three candy boxes and have coloured three Boo collection digi stamps 🤣. I started with one of them and then I couldn’t stop coloring ….ha ha ha ….It was really addictive as they are wonderful designs and I fell in love with all of them 😍

Maz - for my Halloween Icons tag, I used Sunflower Broomstick from the NEW Hocus Pocus Witches collection. I removed her broomstick and sat her on top of a trio of pumpkins from Ghastly Ghost collection. Coloured using ProMarkers. I created the background by using Terrifying Skulls Stencil. I finished off by adding a few cobwebs from the Spooky Hat Die Set and a distressed black bow. All details can be found on my blog.
CHRISTIN B- Slowly I start to make Christmas cards. For my first one I decided to use the precoloured Sweet Tweet Snowman. I made a pocket for the card and in this pocket I putted the tag with the snowman. 
Samantha - It is Digi Choosday time again, and the DT team was asked to make projects featuring Halloween. I was excited for project because I am pretty sure Halloween is my all-time favorite cardmaking season. Yes… I love Halloween cards even more than Christmas cards, but it is close. For my project, I chose the haunting Oddella with bag and I paired her with images from the Poppy Flower bundle. I Copic colored both Oddella and the poppy flowers in shades of purple and dusty violet and fussy cut each image. For the poppies, I colored a few select petals from duplicate poppy images that I then fussy cut and adhered to my main image with foam tape to create depth and dimension. I placed everything onto a dark ink-blended background and added a border using paper from the Halloween/Autumn Paper Heaven 1 digital paper bundle and a sentiment from the Halloween Trick or Treat printable Sentiments bundle. I hope you find this card as spooky fun as I do.

Huge thanks to the design team for all their inspiration today - we hope we've given you lots of ideas to use in your own cards - remember! We LOVE you to copy the ideas we show you, it's what we're here for!

Martine - It's that time of the year again.... making your christmas cards! I made my card with an ribbon...to close him. And i put a little bell on it..for that christmas joy! But isn't that image adorable or what? She is called Winnie Christmas Wishes . And i put a little ticket on it.. you get it here : Serenity Fairy Wishes Sentiments . See those flowers?... that winter look on it is..... sugar! Put a little glue on the tips of the flowers and sprinkle some sugar over it,,,that simple!

Kim Stewart - HO HO HO Digi Choosday friends( well at least we're working towards that!). This week's Christmas theme got me in the holiday spirit. We were asked to create a card in a christmas theme along with some type of closure. I designed an angled gatefold card with a belly band closure. The gingerbread holly coloured images from the Gingerbread Holly Big Kahuna Bundle are just too cute and I couldn't resist pairing them with some festive papers from the Theo Penguin pack 4 and Theo pack 1. See you next time!


Betsy - Hello everyone! I've used the Autumn Fall Fox Snowflake digital stamp along with Autumn Fall Papers 3 for this cute winter card! I printed everything out onto white card stock. I covered an A2 ize white note card with silver shimmer paper and used the same paper to cut a few snowflakes and a die for my sentiment out of white glitter card stock.After die cutting my main panel and coloring and adding. bit of shine, my card was done! Til next time...
Copic colors used: W1, RV02, B91, B93, B95, B99, V05, V09,

Megan Cooper - I had so much fun making this FREE Mug shaped card template for this week's challenge. I used the free Mug shaped template and just fussy cut the card, but you could easily use any electronic cutter. I used Baked With Love papers for the mug design and added the oh so adorable Fairy Bella Christmas bear to the front. I love the font used for the sentiment that is from the Winni White Christmas Sentiments pack and the cute number 25 tucked behind Fairy Bella is from the same sentiment pack! I used a twine bow to tie the card closed. My Instagram: Megan Cooper (@lazydazestampin)
