Kim Stewart - It's all about elegance this week. This weeks design is an elegant Christmas-y side step winter wedding card that I created using delicate looking poinsettia flowers that i coloured in a pale pink and added lots of shimmer to using glitter glue.  I used decorative paper sparingly on this design from Winnie White Christmas digital paper pack 1. 

Betsy - Winter is such a lovely time to have a wedding! For my card today I decided to turn my stamp into a different flower. I've used the Blooming Lovely Daffodil stamp set into a narcissus that does bloom in the winter. I printed it out along with a sentiment onto white card stock and then die cut it with an oval die. I colored the image with my Copic markers. I covered an A2 size white card base with a paper that looks embossed, but isn't. I adhered my oval on foam tape after I softly shaded the edges with a pale grey ink. For a finishing touch, I added glitter glue that is sparkly but is not iridescent so it looks like frost! You can also purchase this stamp set as part of the Blooming Lovely Bundle (a great bargain!). Til next time...Betsy
Copic markers used: 
 Y000, Y06, Y15, Y35, Y38, YR04, YG91, YG95, YG11, YG03,YG25, YG67

Megan - For this week's inspiration I share my first stair stepper card! I have to say it was pretty fun to figure out. I used the sweet Winnie Fairytale Dreamer digi stamp for my focal image. To give the card an elegant feel I used a gold border to frame the Winnie Winterland - Paper Heaven 6 digital craft papers. I printed these papers in two sizes, one a bit smaller so I could fussy cut some of the gorgeous poinsettias to add as an embellishment. The sentiment comes from the versatile Just Lovely - 31 Greetings/Sentiments Bundle. My Instagram link: Megan Cooper /Facebook: Lazy Daze Stampin'
Ohuhu Marker Colors Used:
Dress: YR220, YR212, Y110, Y121, YG040, R230, R9G130, GY2
Hair: E260, Y12, YR9
Skin:E030, R19, E470
Background Blues: BG3, B110, BG4

Jenny D - Winter weddings are so beautiful!!! For this card the Winnie Fairytale Dreamer stamp is the beautiful bride (isn't she lovely?) and I used the Elvis Wesley Moose themed paper as the background. Also a reminder to look at all your sentiments because I used the Elvis Wesley Moose themed sentiments and by cropping out some of the words I had the perfect sentiment to use for this card. Follow me at Crafting with Jenny on Facebook and Instagram.

Jane – For my winter wedding stepper card I used images from the GINGERBREAD COOKIE SWEET CHRISTMAS BUNDLE and coloured them to match the paper that can be found in THIS BUNDLE. To finish the design, I added pearls and the CELEBRATE sentiment die.


Candace - For today's challenge project, the theme is Winter Wedding, use anything, must be elegant and make a stepper card. The pattern paper is from Theo Penguin Paper Bundle 4. The image I used is Wedding Car and copic colored the digital image. I also added snowflake die cuts with glitter enamel dots.


Wendy - Hi everyone! How deliciously adorable is this Ginger Snap Santa cookie relaxing in a mug of hot chocolate? That is my dream snack! He's just one of the many sweet images available in the Gingerbread Bundle available in the store now. This card uses an image from the Santa Mug Kit, and I colored it with my Copic markers. Stop by the store and check out these amazing Christmas kits. Thank you for looking

If you are still making them then here's a little more inspiration for you using one of the super bundles from the recent Gingerbread Cookie release. This entire card has been made using the very cute Snow Day Bundle with a little gold mirri card for that touch of magical shine - it is for Christmas after all. Have a fabulous week of crafting and don't forget to join in with the challenge. Love and crafty hugs Wendy x


Christin - Hello everyone! I'm in the middle of Christmas card production and so I have another one for you. I used the Santa Merry Christmas Banner and colored it with my alcohol markers. I made a shaker card with lots of snow and sparkling sequins. I also used a metallic paper for more glitter and shimmer.




Maritza
: Hello, my crafty friends, for this week, the topic for the DT team was to use layers of metallic papers in our project, I used a digital image Gifts Parcels Bella Christmas Bear, digital papers are same collection, Christmas printables digital papers 2. I place 2 layers of metallic cardstock in gold and green.. Happy crafting!




Dessy - This stamp is so cool, I love how festive this card turned out! I used the Husky Hugs digi stamp to make it.



Kerri - Hi, I'm sharing a card I made using Eli The Elephant with Snowflake Balloons. I printed the image onto white card stock after sizing it. Once it was printed I colored him with Faber Castell Polychromo Pencils. I then stamped out the sentiment, made a wax seal and put everything together. The Sentiment is also digital and is found in this set called Christmas Greetings, Quotes, Sentiments Printable Stamps.

So let's see what the Design Team have been making this week...we hope you're inspired by all these great ideas!...



Kim Stewart - My daughter has been asking me for a few years now for tags to use at Christmas and I’m always so busy with card orders and Design Team projects that I never have time to get around to making her some. Surprise! Christmas tags for my daughter using the new Christmas Gingerbread Cookie digital downloads. I created 5 tags using the pre-coloured digis which are so easy to create with once you pin them out. I layered them onto tag shapes along with a snowflake as well as sentiments also from the Gingerbread Cookie download set. I also cut out pieces of decorative paper using the smaller tag size from the Gingerbread Cookie digital download set as well as Bella Bear Christmas and Theo paper pack #4 I’ll create a gift bag to gift them to her and surprise her before Christmas.

Martine - Hello, iI am back with this giftbox..... made with Ruby Hey there . I colored her with my Distress inks in ( this time) Christmas colors, so she can be used for so many occasions. That text is from this set : Winnie Daisy Everyday greetings and quotes . See those cute tiny gifts ? ( who are sò hard to glue together lol ) They are from Gummiapan. Well, this is my giftbag for you, whitch has enough place for a beautiful little gift. Hope i inspired you to make a giftbox yourself !

Betsy - Hi all! Winter is getting closer, so today I'm sharing how to make this cute Pickles Teacup digital stamp with a winter theme. I printed out the image and used digital paper from Freddy Fox. I colored the image with Copic markers. I covered an A2 size note card with white glitter paper and die cut snowflakes from it as well. I cut down my image and adhered it to the card base. I also added very small snowflakes to the teacup. I added a few enamel hearts and that finished my card! Insta: @betsybirgeart/Blog:  https://caringheartcards.blogspot.com/
Copic colors used:
E50, E51, E30, E18, E15, E25, E08,
RV10, R13, RV23, RV29, R46, R37, R59

Megan - The weather is cooling as we head into gift giving season, why not give the gift of hot tea. I created a simple accordion style tea gift box. The box holds 3 standard size tea bags. I used the Papers 1 Winnie Christmas Wishes paper on the outer areas of the box. I created a belly band for the closure featuring an adorable penguin from this Cute Penguins digi stamp with Cat, Dog and Robin. I also added Tis' the Season to the belly band from Christmas greetings, quotes, and sentiment pack. my Instagram link: Megan Cooper/ Facebook: Lazy Daze Stampin'
Ohuhu Marker Colors Used:
Penguin Body and face: CGIIO4, CGIIOO CG5, CG050, GG060, YR180, YR170,RV030
Holly, berries, scar: R180, R8, G130,G170, G190
Ice under penguin: BG4, B110


Jenny - Looking for a quick gift for a co-worker or neighbor? I created this by folding/cutting a single piece of cardstock to make the holder for the KCups. I resized the Snowman Friends Precoloured digital stamp to fit, (Which is one of the things I love about digi stamps!!!) printed the image and glued it onto the holder. Following me at Crafting with Jenny on Facebook and on Instagram

Candace - For today's challenge project, the theme is Christmas, use any image and make a gift. I made a tag gift card holder and used Sparkly Baubles image on the front. The pattern paper is from Theo Penguin Paper Bundle 4 and the sentiment is from Christmas Topper Sheet 1. I also used the snowflake die cuts from the Snow Globe die set.


Jane – Today I have very selfishly made a gift for myself using the pre-coloured images in the POINSETTIA WREATH collection and the BAKED WITH LOVE download. The photo is of my beautiful dog who I lost in September.

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!
