Our designers have been very busy making sure you have lots of creative inspiration. In no particular order we have....
KandA @ KandA Creative Moments has made this pretty card with such a sweet image. The non traditional blue colours are so lovely!
Jenny @ Cardsarus has made a stunning decoupaged card. I like the pretty felt holly leaves and the bold traditional colours!
Greta @ GG Creations has made us two beautiful cards with some lovely sparkle bits. One card is distressed and inky and the other is not...hard to pick a fave!
Pat @ Colourful Card Creations has made this pretty tree fold card. I look forward to reading all about how to make it on her blog! The embossed trees and sentiment are so lovely.
My card was made with a poinsettia decoupage kit I picked up at a recent garage sales. All the pieces were precut and sitting in a plastic bag. I have no idea of the manufacturer. Sorry!
The background paper is Bazill Basics Snow Storm and the brown stripey paper border is Echo Park Chocolate Dots and Stripes. This was a quick and easy card to make. I just assembled the precut image pieces and gave them a generous coat of Stardust Stickles. Once finished, it felt a wee bit flimsy. I cut a card stock backing paper to the same size as the image, and used a double sided adhesive sheet to affix the two pieces together.
Since the image was so large for my card size, I inked the edges with a brown Momento ink, rather than matting it. I cut into a NBUS sheet of Bazill Basics Snow Storm kraft design paper and the brown stripey border piece is Echo Park Chocolate Dots and Stripes..
A generous coating of Stardust stickles over the various image layers finished off this card off, quite nicely. I am happy with the final result and hope you feel the same.
The prize this month is a choice of his Memory Box Small Pine Branch die
or a Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Christmas 3 stamp set

Great inspiration from you and the design team, Maureen. I've visited Pat and Greta's blogs too, two more gorgeous cards!
Hope you've had a fabulous time on your cruise. xx
A wonderful decoupaged image Maureen, it's a lovely vintage style Christmas card, I especially like the snowy feeling as a contrast to the delicate Poinsettia. I'll pay the fabby designers a visit too.
Love and hugs

Great inspiration from the DT! And what a fabulous prize choice :)
It's ages since I made a christmas card during the last week of the month! Good to back here in Rudolph Days!
Lots of lovely cards for inspiration. I have the raggedly angel stamp. She is so adorable. Your decoupage poinsettias came together very well. I like the choice of brown background, and the touch of sparkle that I like to see on my Christmas cards. You can't a beat a bit of bling at Christmas! Kate x
Gorgeous classic card, Maureen! I love inking edges instead of adding a mat & it works perfectly here! My fellow teammates have made a lovely assortment of cards--great variety to inspire everyone!
Wonderful Dt makes and of course your card is lovely too Mo. Hope you are enjoying your cruise. L x

Great inspirations from the design team!
WOW! What gorgeous cards by the DT, and yourself. The decoupage set was a real find, made a lovely card, and it looks very much like an old PSX stamp that I have with a basket of poinsettias. Love how you've added the vintage distressing at the edges of the motif, and of course the perfect kraft & snowflakes behind the basket. It's perfectly themed for Christmas! TFS & Hugs.
Today is chilly and breezy so was the perfect inspiration to make a Christmas card. Love your beautiful festive cards from the DT!
A lovely selections of cards to inspire us from you and the DT - I do like Pats triangle shaped card, something different
Hi Maureen, I have made a new card for your challenge with just 10 challenges in total.
