Green Monster
And here is another monster from Polkadoodles - spotty papers and monster from the Little Monsters download kit. I've coloured him with Promarkers plus found some wonderfully matching green card in my stash. Buttons and half pearls are also from my stash. I've cut out the image and layered it using the Stitched and Pierced dies also from Polkadoodles.

Winnie Mermaid
Here I am with another of the wonderful Winnie dies from Polkadoodles! I've made the card base using the Stitched and Pierced Circles dies, the Winnie Ballerina body, top part of the tutu and also the single hair piece. I used Aquamarkers to colour a scrap bit of card, cut out the top part of the tutu and then two of the single hair pieces - I cut one in reverse so I could get the mermaid 'tail'.
After gluing the tail together, I applied quite a lot of glossy accents over the top and added seed beads from my stash and a lot of very fine glitter - it doesn't really show up in the photo but there are lots!
The hair has been cut using the Winnie Chic die set and the body colour uses one of the papers from the cardstock pack.
I made the background by adding more glossy accents and the fine glitter and then inking the edges of the card.
Organza ribbon is from my stash along with the flower brad.

Made with one of the new dies from Polkadoodles - I've used Miss Winnie plus used papers from the cardstock pack - skin, hair, dress plus the two different backing papers on the card. There are lots of dies in the Miss Winnie set and are interchangeable with the other two Winnie dies.

Kraft and Blue
Here is another Stampin' Unicorn creation, this time I've used the butterfly from Daisy Friends, coloured them with Promarkers and the added to the kraft card blank with foam pads. I've also used the grass boarder and the sentiment (although just noticed that it is the wrong way round!)

I created the border around the card with a black fine liner pen. All the items are linked above and are available to buy from the Etsy store! I'd like to enter the following:

Summery Daisy Friends
I do like making clean and simple cards and with using this stunning Daisy Friends stamp, then its so easy! I first of all made the card blank with white linen effect card and cut the aperture with a circle die. The Daisy Friends stamp was inked up and I stamped it directly through the aperture, coloured it with Promarkers and then used dry watercolour pencils for the background. The sentiments were stamped on off-cuts of the same card and then added around the frame.
And to give it a bit more interest, I added some cute die cut LDRS Dotted Wings Butterflies, added some half pearls from the Magic Sparkles embellishment pack to their centres and five around the top left of the circle aperture.

Shabby Chic
Bit of a shabby chic card here using some wonderful Stampin' Unicorn products! Both papers are taken from the Butterfly Dreams 6x6 paper pad (the paper is really good quality and nice and sturdy which makes it great to rough up!) The sentiment is from the Bits and Pieces Ephemera 6x6 paper pack (again, I've lightly distressed the edges).
The flowers are beautiful and I've curled some thin strips of the paper which were left over after trimming - flowers and half pearls from the Heavenly Dreams Embellishment pack.

Last Tree In The Shop
Here is a card for those who leave getting their Christmas Tree until the very last possible moment. Having said that, one year our tree did look like this come Christmas Day as all the needles dropped off! I've used Last Tree In The Shop from Dr Digi and coloured it with Promarkers. I've been having a sort out with all the craft papers I have printed and found these in my stash - they are that old that they've been retired!

Pretty Petals
Hello! Sometimes dies just make the most wonderful flowers! I'm using products from Stampin' Unicorn that can be bought through the Polkadoodles website. Here I've used papers from the Wonderland paper pad and balanced the pinks with one of the ditty flower papers from the Itsy Ditsy paper pad then used a few different sizes of the LDRS Pierced Ovals dies.
I've also cut the aperture of the flower with one of the larger dies. The sentiment is from the large grab bag of toppers and to finish, the little flower pearl and half pearl on the topper is from the Magic Sparkles embellishment pack. Ribbon is from my own stash.
Even though it looks quite complex, it was pretty quick to make! I'd like to enter the following:

Time for a new Colour Crazy Challenge! This week we are sponsored by the wonderful Dr Digi and I've used Christmas Chris as he makes me chuckle every time!
I've coloured him with Promarkers and added glossy accents to his nose. I found the gold card blank in my stash when I was having a clear out and the stripy card is the back of a Graze box which I've cut with one of my wavy stitched edge dies.
Half pearls, red parcel twine and the two charms are from my stash. Good luck with the challenge!

Polkadoodle Challenge - Anything Goes or Not A Card
It's time for a new Polkadoodle challenge and the theme, as always is
The Design Team were challenge to make something other than a card and I've made these cute crackers and gift boxes using papers from Winnie White Christmas and added sparkly thin tinsel plus some really cute tree baubles I bought from Primark. The tops of the baubles came off really easy with a twist (well, what do you expect when you're getting 30 for £2?!) and I used glossy accents to stick them to the boxes and crackers.
I made the bows with offcuts of card (so not to waste anything) and put some treats inside the boxes and crackers. They were actually quite quick to make - just had to be patient with the glossy accents drying!

Crimbo Crackers Challenge 147 - Boxes
Time for a new Crimbo Crackers challenge and the theme for the fortnight is:
I've made these cute gift boxes with a Sizzix box die - really easy as all I needed to do was score, fold and stick! The card is a lovely hammered effect which looks a bit snowy! I've added gift tags from the offcuts with another Sizzix die and the bows have been made with card I found in my stash and added mini glittered baubles that I bought from Primark.
The clasp bit at the top of the bauble came off really easily so I was able to glue the flat bit directly to the centre of the bow. And as luck would have it, the baubles matched papers from my stash!
Good luck with the challenge!

Small Beginnings
I have a new Stampin' Unicorn project to share today that I've made with a wonderful stamp set - Small Beginnings. There are 8 individual stamps in the set and they can be used to layer up the flowers. I've used the largest stamp as the main image (the dies are Sizzix) and then added the sentiment onto a circle die cut.
I've added liquid pearl dots around the edges of the image, card and sentiment. And I've used Promarkers to colour. Look out for more from the DT - we've loved these stamps and have lots to show you! You can still catch the show on Hochanda and all the products can be bought through Hochanda or the main stockist Polkadoodles.

Stampin' Unicorn - Blossom
I have a really quick and easy card to share, made using the Blossom stamp set from Stampin' Unicorn and the Daisy Friends Happy Birthday sentiment You really do get a lot for your money with the Blossom Stamp set!
I've used Promarkers to colour the image after I've stamped it directly onto my white linen effect cardstock. For some reason I seem to have a rather lot of random seed beads in my stash so used some of them up here by sticking them on with glossy accents.
I stamped the sentiments from Daisy Friends on off-cuts of card and then added them to the panel with foam pads for extra depth. Around the edge of the panel I've added a dotted line with a black fineliner pen and to finish off, a little LDRS butterfly die cut plus a little white half pearl from the embellishment pack.
This has got to be one of those stamps that I will go to time and time again - so lovely to use and colour up and it stamped perfectly for me every time!
Don't forget to tune in to Hochanda tomorrow (3 December) at 8am and 12noon GMT for a new release that the Design Team have had lots of fun with! If you like this stamp then you will love the new release!
