Megan Cooper - I used this Bella Bear Morning Coffee digi with the Winnie Daisy greetings quotes and papers from the Paper Patterns 2 - Winnie Daisy Fairy set then coloured her in, so cute!

Candace - For today's challenge project, the theme is Thank You, use anything but no Christmas and use a simple paper folding technique. I used the image Crocus Flower Girl for the front flap of the card. The sentiment is from Winnie Daisy Greetings and the pattern papers are from Winnie Daisy Fairy and Enfys Jetsetting. The card base is a fun fold technique with a short front flap.

Jane – Not a digital project today but I hope that’s ok. This gorgeous HYDRANGEA STAMP and MATCHING DIE-SET make a great thank you card and is so easy to put together. I simply used white embossing powder and some loose watercolouring and added one of the pot shapes from the GARDEN DELIGHTS STENCIL. Ready in a flash…well almost. Have a wonderful Christmas everyone and a very happy 2025.

Jenny - I always have thank you cards available for my kids to write a message to the person who gave them a gift. For this card, I braided the side of the card base and then used the Snowflake Autumn Fall Fox coloured digi stamp from Polkadoodles along with some of the papers from the Polkadoodles Theo Penguin Paper Bundle 4 digi set. Follow me on Instagram and Facebook @CraftingwithJenny

Betsy - Hello everyone! I'm sharing a cute card featuring Winnie! It's the Let's Hang Out Winnie Bundle! My sentiment is from the Flower Meadow Bundle. I composed my image and sentiment and printed it out. I die cut it before coloring. My background paper came from my stash. I also die cut the cute little string heart which I attached towards the bottom of the card. After coloring I foam taped the focal to the background. For finishing touches I used a shimmer pen, Stickles and a silver glitter pen!

Leah - I am sharing a Winter Birthday card with you today for Digichoosday. This card features the Bella Bear Morning Coffee digital stamp. I coloured her using my Holbein coloured pencils and paired her with some digital papers from the Horace & Boo collection as well as a digital sentiment available on the Polkadoodles website.


Kerri - I am sharing a card I made using the digital stamp called NATURES BEAUTY GIRL WITH FLOWERS IN HER HAIR. I printed the image onto white card stock and colored her up with Kalour Pencils. I added a couple of snowflakes and a sentiment.

Wendy - Hello everyone I hope you are all well and looking forward to Christmas - not long to go now ! Today the team was asked to make a December birthday card and I couldn't resist using one of the super cute penguins from the new Snowy Days collection for my card. We were also given a colour palette to work with and I have to say it was a challenge, teaming orange and blue, not my usual colours of choice. I've made a bookbinding Z-fold card from a blue card stock, decorated with a couple of papers from the Freddy Fox collection and then used my promarkers to colour Theo Hello before fussy cutting him out for my birthday card. Have a great week and a fantastic Christmas. Crafty hugs from Wendy x


Maritza: Hello my crafty friends, for this week I made a Birthday's card using Birthday Rebel Cake, I painted with colours pencils and for background I made distress ink. Papers are digital Theo Penguin paper bundle 2. Happy crafting!

Christin - I love the Frosty Wintersmile Snowmen collection, one is sweeter than the other. For my card today I used the Hello Frosty Snowman and colored it with my alcohol markers. It was supposed to be a birthday card so I used the large text for the background which I also colored it with my alcohol markers.

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 - Hello again, I have a cute winter scene card for you using Winnie. They are Skating Around ...{ trying lol }Both a little bit shaky on there skates hahaha.Well... i stopped iceskating..because i am to shaky too on them! And allways thinking that the ice is going to break.....I used cute rolled up flowers, with the same paper that i used for the card. And see those cute text? It's from this set and there are all differend kind of phrases on it... Rebel with attitude snips . Well, that was it... see you next time !

Kim S - This theme for our Design Team Challenge this week is Winter sports. I created a new sport which I'm calling downhill Candy cane Toboggan Racing. I chose one of the Gingerbread Holly digital images called Candy Cane Fun which i coloured in with Copic markers. I created a background panel using Speckled Egg, Evergreen Bough and Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide Inks. Surprisingly i used no digital decorative paper this time. Just 2 mats for underneath my Distress Oxide ink panel which were added ontop of a slimline card. I added some Shabby Pink Frantage Embossing enamel to create a snow effect on my distress ink panel as an added bit of pop. I placed the Candy Cane toboggan digi onto the distress ink panel and lastly some glitter for extra sparkle.

Betsy - Hello all! Should be seeing snow soon and to celebrate winter I created this card using Seal Fun Theo Penguin digital stamps, paper and sentiment. I composed my image on the computer and blurred the edges of the background paper. I colored Theo and his seal friends with Copic markers. I die cut this panel and went around the edges with a silver ink pad. I mounted it onto an A2 size card base in a matching blue and added clay bits, glitter gel pen detail, and gems!
Copic colors used: 
 BG00, BG01, BG07, C 2, C3, 5, C7, E71, E75, W0, W1, W2, W3, W5, Y15, Y38, RV00
Also used: Altenew Artist marker: B204
Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend Marker: Lavender blend.

Megan  - Here is a bit of inspiration for using up brighter digital papers during the winter months! I used the Eden - Paper Heaven Plain Jane 5 papers and basic shapes like diamonds and circles to create a winter scene that features the cutest Skiing Snowman from Ski Time! The sentiment from Winnie White Christmas Sentiments that I used is fitting for winter magic and doubles as positive affirmation to believe in yourself!
Ohuhu Marker Colors Used:
Snowman and Skies: B220, B340, BG3, CG2, PB7, CO II OO
Snowman Hat, Gloves, Scarf, Carrot Nose: GY2,GY3, G130, G050,G020, RV080, RV100, RV070, RV320, YR170, YR3, YR172

Jenny D - Today I'm feeling too cool while crafting with Ski Theo Penguin digital stamp and digital paper bundle 4. The sentiment came from the Gnome Men digital stamps. I'm imagining Theo getting ready to jump over that snow bank and when he does all the shaker bits will burst with joy! Follow Crafting with Jenny on Facebook and Instagram

JaneSKI THEO PENGUIN is enjoying the great outdoors by bursting through the gorgeous snowflake paper from the PAPER BUNDLE 4, embellished with some sparkly die cuts. All this wintry gorgeousness can be found in the THEO PENGUIN BIG KAHUNA BUNDLE.

Candace - For today's challenge project, the theme is Winter Sports, make anything and use bright and bold colors. I used the image Ski Time and added the sentiment to the ski hill from Winnie White Christmas. The pattern paper is from Gnome for the Holidays.

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're welcoming Leah to the team - we are thrilled she's joined us and know you will love all her beautiful projects! Welcome Leah!

Leah - It’s challenge day and I have a fun (although not so digital) project for you today! I used the Let’s go Gnome clear stamp that features an adorable gnome and reindeer. I coloured this image with my Kalour coloured pencils. The sentiments are from two different sentiment sets: Birthday Sentiments and Christmas Greetings. I also used the Baked with Love Paper Heaven 1 digital paper for the background layer of the card front. Lastly, I added some fun and festive enamel dots and sparklies.

Wendy - Hello everyone I hope you are all good and nearly ready for Christmas, not long to wait now. Our challenge set by Nikky this week was to make a Christmas birthday card for an adult - it's my cousins birthday at the end of December so this card is made especially for her. I decided to use one of the pre-coloured swags from the Poinsettia Wreath collection and layered this digitally onto a pretty blue paper from the Jolly Santa collection. The perfect birthday sentiment is from the newly released Theo collection. To add dimension I have decoupaged a couple of the flowers, adding with 3D glue gel and to finish of the design I have splattered with gold and silver metallic paint for a touch of sparkle. Have a fabulous week. Love and crafty hugs Wendy x

Christin- Do you know people who have their birthday on Christmas? Maybe you'll be inspired by my card today, which has a touch of Christmas but is actually a birthday card. I love the precoloured Pretty Poinsettia digistamp, and flowers always seem to be appropriate for a birthday.

Dessy - This cute 2in1 Christmas tree decoration-card is made with the Ice skating Theo Pinguin digital stamp. On the back is blank so a personalized message can be written for a Birthday, or any other seasonal celebration, while at the same time it can be a cute Christmas tree decoration. Today is the first day we have snow in Bulgaria! Waking up this morning and sharing this card makes me so much in a Christmas mood already :D Have a nice day!

  Maritza: Hello my crafty friends for this week, I made a birthday card, I love those beatiful images of cupcake. I have used digital image precolored Cherry Cream Cupcake, print it 2 times, cut out and add the cream part in dimension, these papers are of Theo Penguin Paper Bundle set 1. My favorite hobby is painting digis, but sometimes we need to make a card with little time available, and these pre-colored images are fantastic. Happy crafting!

Kerri - This is a card I made using Gift Tree - Gnome Festive Fun digital stamp. I printed it onto white card stock and colored him up with Prisma Pencils. Sentiment comes from the stamp To Gnome You Is To Love You.

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!
