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).

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!
The base card is from a great pack I bought a while ago from Lidl and the ribbons and charm are from my stash.

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:

Colour Crazy Challenge - Week 49 - Dr Digi
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!
Good luck with the challenge! I'd like to enter the following:

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.

Quick Box
Here is a quick gift box made with a cushion box template from Dr Digi - all you need to do is cut, score and glue! I've added a matching gift tag.
The template fills a sheet of A4 so its large enough to put quite a few chocolates in it!

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!

Colour Crazy Challenge - Week 48 - Crafty Sentiments
It's time for a new Colour Crazy Challenge and this week we are sponsored by Crafty Sentiments. The challenge theme is:
I've used two of the cute images from the sponsor, the first is Benson and Betty which I've coloured with Promarkers. Snowflakes are a metal unbranded die and the ribbons are from my stash. I've handwritten the little Sizzix tag.
The second image I've used is Christmas Penguin and I've also coloured him with Promarkers but made it into a slider card. I've embossed the background with a Cuttlebug folder and the sentiments are Tim Holtz Sizzix dies. And yes, it really does slide!
Good luck with the challenge! I'd like to enter the following:
