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


Dessy - I like simple and minimalistic decorations, so I used the set of Garden flower leaves butterfly to create a nice gift wrapping decoration. I am in love with the colors :))))

Wendy - Hello everyone I hope you are all doing ok and that you are well on with making your Christmas cards.... it's not long to go now! 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

Maritza: Hello my crafty friends, for this week, our theme for the DT team was to make our own gift wrapping, I made a gift bag and the decorations and labels, I made them using 3 papers, from Christmas Bear big Kahuna collection , for this occasion I made this gift bag for Christmas. Happy Crafting!
Christin - My project today is a self-made gift wrap. I used a printable paper from the Lilac Haze collection and also the beautiful precoloured watercolored flower digistamp. The greeting is also from this collection, too, so you can see how diverse it is.

This is Kerri sharing a tag I made using Dracula Boo Halloween and Halloween Trick or Treat Digital Paper. Images and Pattern Paper were printed out onto white card stock. Colored Images with Prisma Pencils and fussy cut them out.


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!

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!...


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



Adam - Hi everyone - happy to be here! Nothing like a super scary (not) Halloween card for those on your card list. This character is set in a wooded scene along with his bat made with a compilation of several products from Polkadoodles.

Martine - Hello, it's me again...Martine....with another cute card. The theme to make was ...Christmas....Well, that is not so hard to use these days. I did use the supercute gingerbread dolls for it.... They are so adorable..and there are so many more in the store....so take a look! This one is called Hot Chocolate Gingerbread holly digital . And i have used some Christmas papers... Gingerbread Holly Papers 2Behind the image is a tag, witch you can pull out ( not all the way..i glued it ). And then i added some cute tiny gingerbread dolls...they are from my own stash. Hope you get inspired by it!

Kim Stewart - Happy Digi Choosday! Hope you're having a crafty week. For our challenge this week it's all about Christmas(it's coming up fast) Are you a get prepared early person or wait till the last minute person? i procrastinate so much 😉 I chose one of the cute Bella Bear Christmas digital images for my card front called Gift Box Parcel Bella Bear.  I also added in some ephemera parcels and holly berry leaves also from the Gift Box Parcel Digital download My paper choices come from Jolly Santa pack 2, and Bella Bear pack 2, and lastly  Gingerbread Holly pack 3I used lots of glitter glue which i added in different spots to make it very shiny and sparkly. What's on your craft desk this week? Don't forget to enter to new challenge happening. We'd love to see what you're created

Betsy - Poppies are for remembrance and this Poppies set is wonderful. You can buy it in the Blooming Lovely USB or download set or purchase just the Poppies set here. The image I used was one of the B & W stamps sized to fit into the arched opening of my card. Along with the poppy image I printed out a piece of tan paper included with the set. Simple coloring. I adhered the arched frame and colored panel onto an A2 size kraft card base covered with a bright red plaid paper from my stash. I used a sentiment strip from my stash, added some olive green confetti and that finished my card!
Copic colors used: G12, G21, G85, G28, C5, C7, R02, R05, R14, R17 R59, RV69
Til next time...Betsy

Megan Cooper - Have pattern paper? Why not use it! I used 2 papers from the Papers 1 Winnie Christmas Wishes collection for this fun fold Christmas card. Now, let me just say all the critters in this image are all cute, but I LOVE the little bird in this trio of Snowdrift Friends . This was such an enjoyable image to color that I printed two out and will be coloring another. For my sentiment I used Happy Holidays from the Christmas greetings, quotes, and sentiments from this collection.
Ohuhu Marker Colors Used:
Sweet Pup: Y9, E220, YR260, E490, YR8, R150, R180
Cute Kitty: WG050, WG070, WG130, RV320, RV260, R180, R150, G130, G190, GY5
Pretty Bird: BG4, PB2, B140, RV320, R180, RV260, R150, G130, G190, GY5, B250
My socials: Instagram  & Facebook

Jenny - Do you find yourself needing to make lots of cards in a hurry? Do you want to showcase your beautiful paper? I created this card using just the Elvis Wesley Moose themed papers. The paper can speak for itself as the background sentiment. I took 2 sheets of paper and glued them together, cut out a circle and then cut the circle in half. By taking the half circle and folding it back and forth you will create some trees. Follow me on Instagram and Facebook

Jane – On a predominantly white card I have used this adorable little GINGERBREAD GIRL and the pre-coloured GINGERBREAD HOUSE ,CANDIES and paper from the GINGERBREAD COOKIE COLLECTION.


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!

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!
