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


Candace - For today's challenge project, the theme is Winter/Christmas and make anything but a card. I made a gift bag using the image Fairy Bella Christmas Bear and the present is from Christmas Bear Ephemera. The pattern paper is from Set 2 Christmas. I printed the sentiment out and cut with flag die and tied around handle of gift bag, the sentiment is from Christmas Greetings, Quotes and Sentiments.


Catrin -


Jane – Today I have a gift bag to share decorated with some of the stunning pre-coloured images from the amazing value POINSETTIA WREATH set.


Kim Stewart - Almost Christmas time. Are you ready? Have all your shopping completed? For my Design Team Project this week, I've created and decorated a book box with everything Winnie(of course) and inside the box I added 4 large and 2 medium tags which i also decorated. I used some pre coloured images and some that i coloured with my Copic markers.My Winnie images are from Winnie White Christmas called Christmas Shopping which i coloured with my Copic Markers. I glittered her hat trim and pom pom as well as the trim on her boots. As a final touch I added a bit of frantage around Winnie to give the effect of it snowing. I also added a surprise Winnie image in the bottom of the box from one of the Winnie White Christmas Design Sheets which i die cut out and then framed it. For my tags i used some coloured images from the Winnie Winterland embellies set as well as the same set but the regular digis that i coloured with my Copic Markers( candy canes especially) . Most of my decorative papers come from Bella Bear-y Christmas Set 2 as well as the new Santa Claus set 1 and set 2 which i manipulated in my software to change the colours of to fit my project. PHEW! Now THAT is a mouth full. Hope you've enjoyed my project. More photos of the inside of the box will be available on my Social Media on Digi Choosday..






Shruti - I've created this Christmas decoration using topper-sheet-5-christmas As the theme was "not a card" so why not to create some festive decorations 😇. Hope you like this decor piece with cute little 🐻 and Snowflake ❄️


Jennifer - Hello crafty friend, I hope you're enjoying the holly jolly season upon us! For this weeks project, I thought it would be fun to create an interactive snowglobe ornament. And using Polkadoodles digital ephemera download made it so easy! To get started, I uploaded all of the images from the "Bella bear Christmas" Christmas ephemera pack into procreate. I was able to size the images as big as I wanted and simply drag them into place to create the scene inside the snowglobe. To make the snowglobe a shaker ornament, I needed another snowglobe layer that's empty. So I imported a second snowglobe from the ephemera pack and sized it to match the first one.
After I was happy with the layout, I printed both snowglobes on some heavy white cardstock. At this point, you could use a cricut, or another auto cutting machine,to cut out both snowglobes leaving a 1cm offset. But it's a very easy image to fussy cut too. Then, I cut out the center of the empty snowglobe, leaving only the base, and the outline of the globe.
Next, I colored Everything using alcohol markers. But, being the holiday season, I just had to add some shimmer and shine to almost everything. I used a glitter brush marker to all of the snow, the berries, and holly leaves. But I wanted more! So I added glue to the top of the snow, select spots on the tree, and a few berries. Then, before the glue dried, I sprinkled it all with some clear glitter.
Now, it's time to make this ornament a shaker. I glued some clear acetate onto the back of the empty snowglobe. Then, I carefully placed some very thin foam tape around the edge of the globe portion, careful to make sure the entire circle was sealed. I popped some wider foam tape behind the base so it's got the same dimension as the globe portion. Then I chose a snowy glitter mix and placed some on the center of my scene filled snowglobe. Before sandwiching the layers together, I grabbed some gold cord and glued it to the top of the globe so it sits between the layers.
It's such a fun project to decorate your tree and add some extra glitter to your home. Cuz we all need more glitter this time of year, right? I hope you like what I've come up with this time. And I hope you have a wonderful holiday and a creative start to the new year. -Jennifer S @pueen_queen..

Samantha - Since Christmas is almost here, for this Digi Chooseday Challenge I decided to make a shaker tag featuring the adorable Rudolph digital from the Winnie White Christmas Collection. Cute little Rudolph is looking out the window onto a snowy landscape made using the Colouring Scene 4 Christmas Printable. As for the fabulous pattern paper background I chose for the main portion of the scene, well I picked a digital paper from the Elvis Wesley Moose themed paper and the sentiment I came from the Winnie White Christmas Sentiments . This tag is so cute, I am not quite sure who to give it!

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


Christin - Are you already in Christmas mood or are you more likely under Christmas stress? I made my last Christmas cards and there for I used this cutie Elvis with the penguin. For the colorful winter scene they eat ice cream and enjoy each other. I colored them with alcohol markers and the background I made with my Distress oxides.

Nat Martin - For this Colours of Christmas project I have used this cutie Winnie North Pole Digital Stamp and the beautiful Winnie Hinterland digital papers...


Monika - Hi all crafters! It's Monika with a super fun Fancy Fold Christmas card. This Double Pop Out Z Fold Card was a lot of fun to make and it folds flat in a 6x6 inches envelope. I used one of the best Christmas digi stamps 'Gift Tree Gnome' and the design paper from the most traditional Christmas collection 'Winnie Winterland - Paper Heaven 5'. I love how these two collections work together and it is so easy to work with them. If you are looking for traditional digi stamps and papers these products are just perfect and you still have some time for last minute Christmas cards. Happy crafting! https://www.instagram.com/quillinglady/

Bea Munoz - Hello! I used this super cute digistamp from the Theo collection...


Wendy - Hello everyone I hope that you are enjoying the run up to Christmas and not getting too stressed about the big day. Today I have a North Pole themed card to share using a colour palette we were challenged to use - I love non traditional colours at Christmas so it was perfect. I chose to us an image from the Winnie Winter Land collection, called Winter Fox, coloured with Promarkers.


The team have been really busy again this week - thankyou Team!!

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


Candace - For today's challenge project, the theme is Trim the Tree and make anything with a bauble. I used the image Putting up the Tree - Gingerbread Holly. The sentiment is from Christmas Greetings, Quotes and Sentiments which I printed out, then die cut using Posydoodles Rectangles Die Cuts. The pattern paper is from Happy Christmas.

Catrin - Hi everyone! Sharing today my 6x4 card using the bauble images from the 'Cute as Christmas Clear stamp Set' . the images have been stamped with a drrk green stamping ink and fussy cut. the backing card has been distressed with Old Paper Dsitress ink and Snowflake stampes have been dotted around again using a dark green stampping ink. I have distressed some christmas paper and again added snowflakes and the flourish stamp from the clear stamp set, with Sage ink. I have added the die cut netting, some brown ribbon and green twine and to complete fussy cut some holly and addede a Christmes Sentimeent from the Stamp set.

Jane – Just how cute is BELLA BEAR dressed as a Christmas fairy?! I love her oversized hat with its big pompom. I created a background ‘tree’ for Bella using a clear stamp from the SNOWFLAKE GARDEN set using pastels to give the impression of twinkly lights. The sentiment is from the BELLA BEAR sentiment bundle.


KIM STEWART - How are we already into December, doing Christmas Cards? Do you have yours completed yet? Me neither lol! For my Design Team project I chose Winnie(Of course) from the Winnie White Christmas line up. This one is called Winnie Wings ...I layered her on top of die cut Christmas Bauble. Coloured her in a Red and White theme and glittered the trim on her outfit, the trim on her hat as well as the pom pom. She's very sparkly. My paper selections come from Theo Penguin paper pack 1 and Gingerbread Holly paper pack 2. I die cut out two of the Greetings and Sentiments from the Theo download pack with two different tag shapes and added them behind the bauble. With space to write a personal message or two.


Shruti I've created this bauble shaped Christmas decor, as the Digi Choosday challenge theme was "Trim the tree (anything with bauble). To make this I've used topper-sheet-5-christmas. I've tried to make this decor piece in bauble shape. Isn't this a cute idea to add these handmade decorations?


Jennifer - I've been busy colouring these images from the Beary Christmas collection - theyre so cute I just couldnt resist! I added an inky background behind too...


Samantha - It’s time for another Digi Chooseday, and for this current DT challenge I am featuring the Noel Christmas Mouse digi. I started by coloring the image in dark pinks and greens and, once complete, I decided to make the background pink as well. To do this, I created a mask for my image by printing out another mouse on cheap copy paper. I fussy cut the image from the copy paper and adhered it to my colored image using Pixie Spray. Once masked, I ink-blended the background using two shades of pink Distress Oxide inks. I then matted the image using patterned paper selected from the Elvis Wesley Moose themed papers and added a sentiment from the Winnie White Christmas Sentiments set. 

The team have been really busy again this week - thankyou Team!!

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


Monika I made a card with a super fun Fancy Fold using the cutest bundle ever: Theo Penguin, I just love, love, love this collection. The images are just perfect to create fun winter scenes so I created a 3D Winter landscape with super cool penguins. I enjoy working with digi stamps as you can resize them and it is very easy to achieve the depth in the projects. To decorate the pillars on the card I used digi papers from Superhero - Little Dudes and Spring into Easter set 3, the cloud design paper comes from Work & Play 10 Paper Heaven collection. Happy crafting!

Wendy J - Wendy - Hello everyone I hope you are all doing ok - how are your Christmas cards coming along ? If you are looking for some simple and very artsy looking designs then how about the collection of images by Lucy Monkman, they are so beautiful and perfect when we don't have loads of time to spare but want a gorgeous and elegant card. For my project today with the theme of Christmas Animals/Birds, I decided to use the Snowy Dog & Bird image, coloured with Promarkers, to make a very Clean & Simple Christmas card with just a simple layer of glitter cardstock. The sentiment is from the Winnie White Christmas bundle

Christin - Slowly I have to send my christmas cards. For this one I colored the which way the penguin with alcohol markers. I also colored the background in blue and purple and put some snowfall with a white gel pen. Have you started sending Christmas cards yet or when do you start?

Nat - Finally, it’s almost Christmas time….yeahhhhh!!!! Love it!!! I´m really in love with all about this time of the year and enjoy so much with making cards, ornaments and handmade gifts for the family and friends. So, with this project about Christmas animals/birds I have prepare a special gift box for a good friend of mine. Hope she loves it. I have already leave some pictures at the dropbox folder and here I send you some info about the project:
For the box Lid I have used the Bella Bear Christmas Digital sentiments
For the cute Snowman with little cute bird I used the New friend Snowman Digital stamp
And the Snow Scene

For the colouring I have used these copic markers:
  • Snowman wool cap- R59-R29-R27-R24-R22
  • Trees and Green of the snowman wool cap: G99-G94-G82- YG03
  • Snow B00-B000-C1-
