Please Take Your DT Favourite Badge from the Side Bar

Ileana chose #3 Red and Green

I love everything about these two beautiful creations: the stamp used to create the background, the poinsettia, the design and, most of all, how she used the pom poms.

Dagmara chose #7 Jenn Borjeson
A beautiful clean and simple card. A beautiful winter digi, wonderfully colored. The colors match perfectly.

Danuta chose #12 Mia.

Beautiful image, great idea with tearing the paper, I love this card.

Roni chose #40 Bernadet.

I LOVE this idea of pulling on the reindeer nose to make the drawer pop open for the 2026 hidden inside. Such a cute and fun idea to celebrate the new year!

Sari chose #53, Anet

Inked background is amazing, loving the beautiful and dramatic silhouette and positive, sweet sentiment.

Andree chose #58 Wendy Batchen
A beautiful dimensional butterfly card. This kit card has an easel design which shows off the gorgeous butterfly perfectly and the pretty patterns make this a wonderfully eye catching card.

Helen chose #63 - Leslie T

This is so cute and would make a lovely gift.

Koyel choice #108 Helen

I love this cute Christmas card.. great job coloring all the little critters. .

Carole chose #110 Pauline

I love this stamp of Snowy the snowman and Pauline made him a beautiful, inky, stencilled background and added a wonderful sentiment.
