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

Megan - I had a blast designing a card around the oh so cute Bobby Bear with Heart Bunting (precoloured ) , and guess what he is a precolored image! It is amazing how quick a card can be completed when the coloring is already done. I paired Bobby with Love Birds Valentine printable paper to create a sweet Valentine Slimline card. I added a sentiment from Winnie Daisy greetings quotes to finish off this delightful card.

Kim S - Hard to believe January is over and were into February already. Didn't we just do christmas? 😂For our Design Team project this week we were given animals and use a coloured image plus include a bow, piece of ribbon etc as our launch pad.

Being as Valentine's Day is just around the corner I chose one of the wonderfully cute Wings of Love digital images called Wings of Love Bird Balloons and my digital paper design also comes from the Wings of Love lineup called Love Birds digital paper pack 2 download. 

I printed out my coloured digital image and layered it ontop of two mini envelopes i created. I added a sentiment from another bundle called Love Always into one envelope and created a tag to write sweet nothins' on into the other envelope.

Betsy - Hello everyone! Betsy here today sharing a card that is so easy! I've used the Parkie Polar Bear & Theo Penguin Clip Art and a sentiment from that set as well. It's already colored. I placed it over a paper from the Theo Penguin Icy Winter Papers Set 1. I blurred the edges of that background paper and then printed out the image. I die cut it as well as a piece of background paper and adhered both to my A2 size card base. For added sparkle and shine I used Iridescent Contour Paste for the snow, Stickles in 2 colors and aqua gems. And my card was done! I hope you give this adorable card a try! Til next time...Betsy IG: @betsybirgeart

Jenny D - To sugar coat someone's day I used the adorable digi pre-colored Scruff Dog from Polkadoodles. I just want to snuggle up to this adorable dog and eat some cookies with him! The background paper came from the digi Polkadoodles Winnie Daisy Fairy Paper Patterns 2 and the sentiment came from PolkadoodlesPancake and Waffles greeting bundle 2. I used some ribbon and hearts from my stash to complete the design. I'd love for you to follow me on Facebook and Instagram as Crafting with Jenny

Candace - For today's challenge project, the theme is Animals, use a pre-colored image and use ribbon, bow, string or twine on card. I used the pre-colored image Bobby Bear with Hearts Bunting as the main image of my card. The sentiment is from Love Always and the pattern papers are from Lily Bug Ladybug papers 3. I tied white twine around top of card before adhering to card base. I also used Stitched Circles Dies for the circle.

Martine - Hello you all, Martine here with a new card. Because easter is coming i made you a eastercard with Winnie easter bunny ears. I Finished it off with a little bow . And some of those cute ... sometimes sassy words...Rebel with attitude easy snips .

Jane – This gorgeous precoloured image of HELGA HIPPO is certainly SITTING PRETTY on top of this amazing BIG HUGS DIE SET. The backing paper is from the DEVINE HEARTS PAPER PAD and I have added a sweet bouquet of flowers using the CUP OF KINDNESS DIE.

Thanks so much to the team for their stunning inspiration this week!

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

Wendy - Hello everyone I hope you are all well - its time for some more inspiration for the current Digi Choosday blog and this time as we're approaching Valentines, its all about love.... Do you make or send valentines cards?  If you do then there are loads of wonderful images on the website, definitely something for everyone.  

For my card today I've used the Love and Kisses image from the Work and Play 9 collection.  Shes such a sweetheart and I chose to colour her with a turquoise and red palette using promarkers.  The papers are from the Wings of Love collection and I chose a sentiment from the Love Always collection.  Sending you all love and crafty hugs for a wonderful week.

Kerri - Sharing a card I made using the Digital Image Bride & Groom from Love & Kisses Work and Play 9 collection. I printed the image onto white card stock and then colored it up with Prisma Pencils. The sentiment is from the Clear Stamp set called Sentimentals but this set is not in stock.

Thanks so much to the team for their stunning inspiration this week!

So let's see what the Design Team have been making this week...the team were asked to create a 'Hot Chocolate/Cocoa' theme...

Megan - The assignment for this challenge was Hot Chocolate, I decided to create a single layer card with the Door wreath Bella Christmas bear digi. I love how she is sitting on the stoop holding a cup of Hot Chocolate. I colored the image with Copic markers and I added a white snowy detail on the outside edge of the door frame with a gel pen. The area I live in doesn't get much snow and the week I created this card we were expecting two inches, so in homage to that I used the It looks like snow sentiment from this Sentiments bundle.

Copic Colors used:

Door: R24, R27,R46, W9,Y18, Y12

Hat: B24, B28, B29

Bella: E34, E35, E37

Berries and Leaves: YG95, YG97, YG17, YR12, YR04, R08. YR14

My Instagram link: Megan Cooper ,Facebook: Lazy Daze Stampin'

Jenny - Sometimes you just need a little hot cocoa kiss to warm you up! This card comes together very easily when you have the Elvis Wesley Moose-VIP XXL Edition because you have access to so many items--the stamp, ephemera, paper, sentiments, etc. One of the reasons I love digital stamps is because you can edit them--this image had a hat next to the Moose that I did not want, so I removed it. I am so in love with the Hot Chocolate Time Elvis Wesley Moose, I wish I could have some hot cocoa with him. Follow me on Instagram and Facebook @CraftingwithJenny

Kim S - Happy Digi Choosday, We're in the middle of our winter here in Canada, so a thermos or two of Hot Chocolate is required with the temperatures we see. Which in a typical winter can get as cold as -35C. For our Design Team challenge this week I chose one of the ever so adorable Bella Christmas images that can certainly be used for other winter occasions I love colouring Bella up as a polar bear too. I added a tree from the ephemera pack that goes with the Bella Bear Christmas set. My one piece of decorative paper comes from Bella Christmas Bear digital paper pack 2 . The sentiment I used is from the new release called Gingerbread Cookie Snow Day . Lots of sparkle to finish off my winter card.

Betsy - Hello all! This Hello Frosty Snowman stamp set is perfect for letting that great friend know how you really feel! My card was quite easy to make! To start I composed my image in the computer without the sentiment and Die cut it. I also made up a sentiment and printed it onto a leftover piece of the purple cardstock. I die cut another panel a bit bigger from the patterned paper that my color palette comes from. I covered an A2 size white side folding card base with a pale cool gray which I adhered over the gray card base. I ink blended my printed panel, chose my marker colors and when I finished coloring I adhered it with foam tape to the card panel. I used Iridescent Contour Paste and made snow under the snowman's feet, a little on the bird, the white stripes on the scarf, the nose and the sentiment and then as little snowflakes all over!

Copic Colors used: BV0000, BV000, BV00, BV02, BV13,V000, V01, V04, V06, YR00, YR02, YR04, E43, E25, C1, C3, C5, C7, 100

Til next time...

Betsy

Candace - For today's challenge project, the theme is Hot Chocolate. I made a hot chocolate packet and used pattern paper from Winnie Daisy Fairy. I used the image Bella Bear Morning Coffee but let's make it a hot chocolate! The sentiment is from Coffee, Tea and Cake Greetings.

Jane – My ‘hot chocolate’ inspired card today features PICKLES HEDGEHOG SITTING and I have place him behind a huge mug of that frothy and yummy beverage using the CUP OF KINDNESS die set. The paper is from the CELEBRATIONS paper pad and I stamped a greeting on the cup from the DO SMALL THINGS clear stamps set. The sentiment is from the GINGERBREAD COOKIE GREETINGS BUNDLE.

Thanks so much to the team for their stunning inspiration this week!

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

Leah - Hello friends! It's DigiChoosday today and I am sharing a Valentine's Day card featuring the Bunny Rabbit with Bunch of Flowers digital stamp set from Polkadoodles. I have paired this with digital paper from Bella Bear Morning Coffee and a digital sentiment from the 3 Little Bunny Rabbits set.

Wendy - Hello everyone I hope you are all having a lovely week. My Valentines card today features a cute bunny from the Love Always collection - this is Love you this much and I think he's just adorable and looks so cool with his trendy sunglasses. I've coloured him with my promarkers and then used Polychromos pencils to add lots of texture to his fur. The team was also challenged to add some paper weaving to out project - not something I've done for many years but it was fun, I've used striped paper from the Lily Bug collection, simply cut into 1/4" strips. The perfect sentiment is from the Love Always collection. Have a wonderful week - love and crafty hugs Wendy xx

Christin - For my new card I used two digipapers from the rebel pretty paper 3 for making a weaving heart for the background. In front of it I put the Butterfly fairy Winnie Daisy and supplement with the texts from the Spring tons of love bundle.

Kerri - Hi everyone! I'm Sharing this card I created using the Digital Stamp called TOGETHER ALWAYS. The pattern Paper you see is from the collection BAKED WITH LOVE PAPER HEAVEN. Image and paper was printed onto White card stock. Bunnies were colored with Prisma Pencils.

Thanks so much to the team for their stunning inspiration this week!
