OK, over to the challenge - let's see what the team have created for you today! More great projects from the team this month! 


Natalia - this is a sneaky peek at the new Yuletide Charm Christmas collection coming up very soon! I used this beautiful paper pack to create this card - the papers are double sided and full of these stunning toppers ready to just cut out and decoupage like this, I love how vintage it is, all I had to do was cut a few layers...


Irre - I created this journal cover using this cute Winnie Daisy Fairy printable stamp. I love using digistamps with mixed media techniques, a lot of people have a hang up about not being able to use printables but they are very versatile, you just need to learn how to use them well!


Christine - Hi everyone, Today I`m sharing a card with one of my favourite collections, Serenity. I used Serenity Fairy resting digital stamp and the sentiment is from the Serenity Fairy wishes bundle. This week we were challenged to create a card with some kind of closure, and I used a button and some string to wrap around it to keep the card closed. I love how this card turned out, and hope you got some inspiration. My IG: ckndesign_craft

Kim Stewart - I decided on a cauldron shaped box and two 3" X 3" mini gift boxes(with lids) which i stuffed with halloween Mylar grass and then lots of yummy chocolate. I used pre-coloured digis from the Gnome Trick or Treat Halloween download set which i added to a tag shape for the cauldron and matted onto die cut shapes for the little boxes.My digital paper selections also come from Gnome Trick or Treat Halloween digital set.Lastly I chose sentiments from the Hocus Pocus Witches Set and changed the colour and saturation to better match my cardstock choices. Hopefully the chocolate lasts until halloween so i can give to my grandkids. 
Irre - Hello. I have a new canvas for you today. For this project, I used a digital stamp from the January collection that is called Nature lover. I colored the stamp with Copic alcohol markers. I adhered the stamp to a round canvas and added texture around the edges with a stencil and modeling paste. Then, I painted the edges with white gesso and colored the edges with orange and yellow watercolors. I decorated the canvas with flowers, die-cut leaves, metal butterflies, and a metal cone. Instagram: @scrapbyirre

Natalia - I created this cute card using the new Gingerbread Cookie digi stamps and this lovely Scenic Winter stencil from the Polkadoodles store...

OK, over to the challenge - let's see what the team have created for you today! More great projects from the team this month! 


Julie Nagle - This week’s Design Team Challenge was to create a card using an object from PolkaDoodles digital images to create a September Birthday Card. So many options - whatever would I choose?! My Son’s birthday is in September so instantly I thought of him. Last year he spent his birthday in Nova Scotia, Canada which led to the creation of this card. The Lighthouse from Winnie Starfish/Sandcastles proved to be just perfect for the background technique I had planned to apply to this card. I blended using PolkaDoodles Blending Brushes with tones of blue/green distress inks onto the background using a random pebble stencil for the water, and a tea colored ink for sandy beach. A pallet knife and Grit paste allowed me to mimic the crashing waves at the shoreline of the lighthouse. I Sea it’s Your Birthday was the perfect sentiment for this charming coastal creation. Dive in and give this card a try! Further details can be found on my blog.

Wendy - For today's challenge, I tried something a little different. I used a pre-colored image. I absolutely adore the stunning colors on thIS Fantasy Moon image and wanted to use it on my card. I did pull some of the colors from the image to create a soft, simple background using my Copic markers. I also added Wink of Stella (on the moon) and some Unicorn Pearls. I love how it turned out! Thank you for looking!
Background:
Blue - BG0000, B0000, B000, B00, 0
Pink - RV0000, RV000, RV10, 0
Purple - V0000, V000, V01, 0
Green - YG0000, G20, G40, 0

Christine -This time I decided to go with a mini slimline card featuring the Little Dudes collection. I decided to go with the Cool Dude digistamp and as a bonus you get some great sentiments and three digital pattern papers to go with him. For my background I used a soft blending brush and a stencil. Love how it turned out. I colored this cool little guy up with my Copic markers. 💮 My IG: ckndesign_craft ðŸ’®
Here are the colors that I used:
Skin: E000-00-21-11-04
Hair: E11-13-15-18

JANELLE - Hello crafty friends! Here's a fun versatile fall birthday card using distress inks along with the Daisy Dragonfly Bundle ðŸ§¡ðŸ’œðŸ’š For more inspiration check out my IG page @janelle.paper.sparkles

Irre - Hello! Today I want to share an altered playing card with the digital stamp Ruby looking pretty. I colored the stamp with Copic alcohol markers. The playing card, I covered with a paper from paper pack 8 from Winnie Starfish/Sandcastles. Then I added texture with a stencil and modeling paste. On top of that, I added embossing powder that I embossed with a heat gun. To the edges, I added pink small flower pot stones. Finally, I added a sentiment from Winnie Daisy greetings, quotes and sentiments.
Have a crafty day!  Instagram: @scrapbyirre

Julie Barnes - The challenge for this card was Autumn or Halloween in Yellow/Orange. I chose to go with the Autumn theme as I just love the stamp set I used PD7263 Nuts About You. I also used the fabulous craft papers from paper pack In Love With Autumn PD7955 to decorate the inside of the card. I started off by stamping out several of the trees, toadstools and leaves, colouring them in and then fussy cutting them out. I ink blended the sky background using the stencil Great Outdoors PD7389 and then stamped the squirrel out onto kraft card and coloured in using Prismacolor pencils. Again, I fussy cut him out and then set about putting all the elements together on the card front. I then decorated the insert and envelope with the same stamp set.


Prismacolor colours used for this make:
PC1002 - 1034 - 118 - 924 - 922 - 925 - 937 - 945 - 1082 - 941 - 943 - 997 - 1084 - 1032 - 910

Betsy - Hello everyone! Today I'm sharing this 5" x 7" card using the new Daisy Wings Stamp Matchables and the Daisy Dragonfly Stamp Matchables. I stamped out my images and colored them using Copic markers. I used clear glitter paste along with the coordinating stencil for the flowers. I used Stickles on the foremost dragonfly wing. Then I die cut the images using the coordinating dies. I cut my background paper to 4" x 6" and adhered it to my card base. I popped up the dragonfly and flowers with foam tape. I stamped my sentiment right on the base. I added little iridscent gems to the background. And that finished my card!

Copic Colors used: YG01, YG03, YG17, YG67, Y02, Y08, YR24,
E97, RV52, RV06, RV19, RV69, V000, V01, V04, V06, V09,
YG91, YG95, E43,RV10, Y00, B000, BV000, B00, V12
