Halloween is in the house!

Check out our new Halloween/Autumn digi release - it's amazing!

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


Jane– Hi again! this week I've been using the cute Freddy Fox collection along with the Latte dies – I'm liking this colour combo I think I might need to use this one again! See you next time!

Wendy J – Hello everyone I hope you are all well and enjoying Autumn – such a wonderful time of the year as the leaves change colours and start to fall! Today I have an Autumn card to share made using the fantastic Freddy Fox Collection. I chose the sweet little watering can and a couple of the little bees from the jam packed ephemera set for my main image, coloured with promarkers in warm Autumnal colours and fussy cut out. There are pre-coloured images too if you prefer. Nikky challenged us to use some washi tape in our design (I'm sure if you are like me you have drawers of the stuff LOL). I stencilled the background using the mandala stencil from the Yuletide Christmas collection and then added little torn strips of washi tape into the corners. This panel was then mounted onto a paper from the Helga Hippo collection. Have a great week – love and crafty hugs Wendy J x

Ana – Hi everyone! For this week's Digi Choosday Challenge, the theme was to use at least one of the following: ribbon, bow, string, cord, twine, or washi tape. I took it as a fun excuse to go full crafty mode and made a mixed media Traveler's Notebook – complete with hand-sewn saddle stitch binding! I used the pretty Lilac Haze Watercolour Flowers collection for both papers and digis, along with Butterfly Fairy Winnie Daisy. I incorporated ribbon, string, and washi tape into the design and layered the cover with vellum, ink sprays, Glitter Snow, and stencilling for lots of texture. The inside pages are lightly embellished – perfect for journalling or adding photos later on. This was such a satisfying mix of paper crafting and bookbinding, and it makes a lovely handmade gift or personal creative journal.







KM – Made a clean and simple bookmark using the Flower Meadow digital stamp and sentiment included in the Digi Deals bundle. I cut the base using my cutting machine then added a tassel and ribbon, and it's done!

Kathie – Hello everyone, happy Digi Choosday, it's Kathie here with super cute image DLPD 9590 – I know it was meant to be Christmas image, but it shows you how images can be so versatile. The image was coloured with the Copic Colours: W01, W02, W03, C01, C02, C03, E00, E02, E29, E31, E40, E41, E43, YR02, YR07, YR15, YR23, R02, R05, R14, R27 Black & White Gel Pens. The design papers were Autumn Fall Paper Patterns 3.

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

Kim S - It's hard to believe it's autumn time already. And paper crafting world already working on Christmas.Are you a work early Christmas card creator? Or a procrastinator like me?There's a new challenge happening over on the Digi Choosday blog. We sure hope you'll enter. Cash prizes to be won.For my design team project this week I decorated two treat bags for halloween. I coloured two of the Winnie Wednesday digis. And my paper choices are Trick or Treat papers 1
So adorable. I chose a pastel colour palette for my images which i coloured with my Copic markers. And then used them as hanging tags on the bags.If colouring isn't your cup of tea the Winnie Wednesday set also comes with coloured images; which makes it so easy to put together some fun halloween projects. Happy Halloween crafting!

Kaye - It's not Halloween when there's no treats. In this weeks' challenge, we created a gable box to place all the treats we hand out to the trick or treaters. We first printed the Halloween Trick or Treat printable papers bundle 2 on a cardstock, then we printed, colored and fussy cut the Boo Ghost Halloween Gnome Digistamp to add cuteness to this SPOOKtacular box.

I created a Halloween Treat Box with a card-style cover - perfect for gifting small sweets or spooky surprises this October. I used the Cute Little Witch digital stamp, cute pattern papers from Boo Halloween, and a sentiment from the Halloween Trick or Treat Printable Greetings Set. It’s such a fun way to mix paper crafting and digital designs - and I added touches of glitter, buttons, and a cute tassel drawer handle! I’d love for you to follow my crafty adventures over on Instagram - @my.cat.and.crafts and Facebook at My Cat and Crafts. Come say hi!


Nina - Trick or Treat? These two Halloween boxes are just perfect for handing out sweet little goodies in a spooky style! I used the Stripes and Harlequin digi paper from the °• Halloween Trick or Treat •° set — perfect for that eerie Halloween vibe. The boxes are decorated with the gorgeous Wednesday girls from °• Winnie Wednesday Pumpkin •° and °• Winnie Wednesday Bat Dog •°. Styled in black, grey, and white, with bold orange pumpkins and a cute little bat dog.The sentiments come from the °• Halloween Trick or Treat Greetings •° set.

Kathie - I'm happy to be here! Today I've made this cutte Halloween card for Trick or Treat. We don't do much Halloween here in New Zealand but it's fun to still create for this fun occasion. I used this cute digi stamp called PUMPKIN GIRL from the Boo Halloween collection - there's so many in this bundle you must take a look at it! Please head to my blog and follow me, I'm looking forward to hopping over to yours too!

Wendy - Happy October everyone - are you ready for some more Halloween fun ? Today I have a spooky popup frame card to share using the Spider Gnome from the Gnome Trick or Treat collection.....I'm not a fan of spiders at all but these are quite cute really...LOL I've coloured the gnome with promarkers and added fluorescent yellow to the eyes and mouth of the pumpkin. The background paper is from the Boo Halloween collection paper bundle. The spooky gnome has been partially die cut and fussy cut out so he hangs in the card aperture from the cobweb...love how he looks. Have a fabulous day and don't forget to join in with the challenge.... Love and spooky hugs from Wendy J.


KM - Looking for a spooktacular accessory for your Halloween outfit? Why not make your own earrings! Simply print the design from the Halloween Trick or Treat printable word art on shrink plastic, punch holes, heat until it shrinks, then add jump rings, hooks, and tassels. For an extra touch, create custom packaging using the using the Trick or Treat printable papers. These make great party accessories, gifts, or even items to sell. It’s quick, fun, and a perfect way to add a handmade flair to your Halloween look!

Ana - Hi everyone! Sharing my Spider Treat Holder featuring Pumpkin Girl Boo Halloween. This week’s Digi Choosday prompt is Spiders, so I created this fun and easy spider treat holder! I used the Pumpkin Girl Boo Halloween digi because of her adorable spider earrings — such a perfect match for the theme. Made with a plastic jar cap, black pipe cleaner legs, googly eyes, and shredded paper, it’s a quick DIY that’s both spooky and sweet. I colored the digi with alcohol markers and popped her inside — ready to gift with mini treats! Follow me for more crafty ideas on Instagram @my.cat.and.crafts and Facebook at My Cat and Crafts!
