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


Nina - Hello! I created 2 small vintage-style tags using the wonderful girls from the digistamps  Oddella Twig  and  Oddella Fairy. I Colored them in soft blue and brown-gray tones – calm, harmonious, yet full of expression. I added the sentiments It’s Party Time and Happy Birthday – little eye-catchers with vintage charm that add that special touch to any occasion. 

Kim S - Christmas creating in full swing now. Are you are a start early christmas card creator or a wait till the last minute kinda crafter? I have to confess my cards are always the last to get done and sent. For this weeks challenge it was all about creating tags. I chose the ever so cute Bella Bear Big Kahuna bundle - there's so many little bears to choose from. Each tag is layered with festive pinks and reds, and features a different little Bella Bear ready for the holidays. My paper selections come from Jolly Santa paper packs 1 and 2 as well as Theo Penguin paper pack 3. These are perfect for topping those special gifts. From the cheerful "HO HO HO" sentiment to the sparkly snowflakes and poinsettia accents, these bears are all bundled up and ready to spread holiday cheer. What's on your craft table this week?

Kaye- For this weeks' challenge, we are to make 3 tags. Here I used the Flower Meadow Printable card making collection because the flowers are just undeniably breathtaking against the color scheme of this collection. We didn't just made regular tags, we made two of them extra shiny and sparkly by adding glitters and making them shaker tags and to add more depth, dimension and texture to the other tag, we added flowers, Enoy!

Ana - Hi everyone! This week’s Digi Choosday prompt was to create three tags, and I decided to make shaker tags using vellum instead of acetate. The translucent layer makes the pattern paper background and floral shaker bits to peek through beautifully without overshadowing the embellishments I used. For these tags, I used the adorable Flower Fairy Winnie Daisy digi stamp that I colored with alcohol markers (I love this because it had colored flower embellishments included!), Winnie Sunshine Delights pattern papers, and Spring Tons of Love Greetings for the sentiments. I also added a bit of hand-stitching around the tags—something I enjoy doing to relax after a long day! Want to recreate these tags? Head over to my blog for the full step-by-step tutorial. We’d love for you to join us every Tuesday at Digi Choosday—there’s always a fun challenge and amazing inspiration!

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

Ana - For this week’s Digi Choosday, I created festive Christmas Paper Rosettes using some of my favorite Polkadoodles products. I used the adorable Ice Skating Theo Penguin and Earmuffs Theo Penguin digi stamps, along with the gorgeous Pretty Poinsettia (my fave Polkadoodles Christmas digi!). For a fun sentiment, I fussy-cut FALALALALA from the Icy Winter Papers Set 2 Theo Penguin. These stamps and papers made it so easy to create cheerful, dimensional rosettes full of color and really cute Christmas fun!

Jane Hi everyone. Today I have a fun card to share using this cheeky image from the GINGERBREAD HOLLY COLLECTION called HOT CHOCOLATE.

Kathie - Hi, it’s Kathie here, and I’m enjoying a gorgeous spring day in New Zealand. I love making Christmas cards with fun, non-traditional colours. They are something a bit different. For this one, I used the super cute DLPD9545 Santa image, with his sacks full of gifts. The digital papers I picked were DLPD9914 Set 1 Winter Theo Penguin and DLPD8408 Let’s Hang Out. Santa was coloured with a bunch of Copic markers: E00, BV00, BV02, BV04, C0, C1, C3, C5, C7, Black 100, YR03, YR23, BG10, BG15, BG23, BG49, plus black, white, silver, red, and purple gel pens. I added some sparkling white glitter for the fur on his coat for a bit of sparkle. The sentiment used was from Christmas Geeting’s DPLD9562 Festive Wishes from this house to yours.
When I was little girl, I always wondered why we received Christmas cards showed kids playing in the snow and beautiful Robins in winter scenes, especially since Christmas in New Zealand is usually all about sunshine, BBQs, and heading to the beach. At the age of 4 or 5 I didn’t realise the difference between the Northern and Southern hemispheres.
KM - Happy Digi ChoosDay, crafty friends! Today, I’m sharing a cozy Christmas card that’s a little different from the usual red and green — this one’s all about nontraditional color play! I used complementary orange and blue to create a fun, eye-catching contrast. My scene features the cutest penguins from the Theo Penguin Toasting Marshmallows digital stamp paired with a sentiment from the Theo Penguin Greetings collection. To add that magical winter sparkle, I used glitter texture paste for the snow and background. For a festive vibe, I added a few touches of glitter markers on their beanies and scarves. This challenge made me realize that stepping away from traditional colors opens up fresh creative possibilities.

Ana - Hi everyone, Ana here! This project started as a pair of Christmas tags, but they turned out so cute that I decided they could double as Christmas ornaments too! For the prompt non-traditional Christmas color, of course, I went with my favorite — pink! I used Polkadoodles Bella Bear Delivering Gifts, Bella Bear with Lots of Gifts, and Pretty Poinsettia. The base was painted pink, stenciled with Glitter Snow, and finished with lace, trims, and a touch of sparkle (with diamond adhesive!) for that sweet, pink, festive look. I love how soft and cheerful these tags turned out — perfect for gifting for special loved ones or hanging on the tree!

Wendy - Hello everyone I don't know about you but I always seem to run out of time making my Christmas cards so here's one I've created for this season, that's quick and simple to recreate. I love the non traditional colours at Christmas especially the cooler tones so that was my palette for today. I created an alcohol ink background on vellum and then added electric blue foil while the ink was still tacky - it creates a fantastic look. I added more flake glue splatters and a bit more foil too - you can never have enough. The image and coloured sentiment are both from the Theo Penguin collection, the cute image is Big Hat Day, coloured with promarkers and fussy cut out. The sentiment, from the bundle, I thought would suit a simple Winter card for anyone that doesn't celebrate Christmas. Have a fantastic day, love and crafty hugs Wendy J. xx

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

 So let's see what the Design Team have been making this week...
Nina - This year, I created a very special Christmas card — for a truly magical first Christmas.
I fell in love with the adorable little bear from the digital stamp set - Gift box parcel Bella Christmas bear. He’s peeking out of the gift box with the lid playfully resting on his head — just too cute to resist!
I colored everything in soft shades of pink and warm grey-brown, paired with a rosy polka-dot paper — gentle, sweet, and perfectly festive. The Happy Christmas sentiment adds a lovely touch of sparkle and the delicate white bow border ties it all together — matching the little ribbon on the present.

Ana - Hi everyone! For this week’s Digi Choosday project, I made a decorative box frame inspired by children’s alphabet blocks. It features the adorable Bauble Hat Bella Christmas Bear and is designed to hold baby’s Christmas photos on each side. It can be displayed as a keepsake, used as a tree ornament, or even gifted—since the top opens like a small gift box! I used Polkadoodles’ Bauble Hat Bella Christmas Bear digi stamp and Christmas Paper Patterns 2 to decorate all sides. I colored Bella with alcohol markers and added sparkle with glitter pens and Aleene’s Glitter Snow plus a sprinkle of glitters! Want to make one too? Visit my blog for full step-by-step instructions!

KIM STEWART - Hard to believe were in already into November. Do you have your christmas cards started? Are you a wait to the last minute christmas card creator? For our design team project this week, it's all about baby's 1st Christmas. I chose Bella Bear-y Christmas as there are so many cute images to choose from. I picked Bella Bear No Peeking which i coloured with my Copic markers and added glitter glue to the star and the bows as well as Bella's hat trim and pom pom to make my card all sparkly.My paper choices came from Jolly Santa pack 1 as well as Theo paper pack 1. I added some glittered snowflakes behind my image for extra sparkle. And finished off my card with a few christmas- mulberry flowers for that final special touch.

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