Let's see the inspiration from the team - we've been creating lots of gorgeous projects for you... 


Rachael - Hi crafting friends. Not long left now until the big day (love it or it hate it, it's coming!) For this weeks inspiration I used the gorgeous Elvis Wesley Moose, for a bright and bold card! The image and papers come from the USB, but you can buy them individually too. This image is called slip and slide. Don't forget if you want a quick card, or if you maybe are not confident at colouring, you can also get the recoloured image here.


Julie - A Christmas card using an image from Gnome Festive Fun Collection, that was the Design Team Challenge this time. I chose to print and color the Polar Bear-Gnome Festive Fun image to create my card. I used printable paper from Winnie White Christmas 2 to create a background and a frame for the inner background. I created the birch trees with a random tree stamp and added some falling snowflakes and glitter on the tree trunks. My idea was to create a Christmas card using calm & peaceful colors with only the Gnomes hat having that festive pop of red. I hope you like the card as much as I do! My Instagram/Facebook

Wendy L - Saturday comes around so fast - and so does Christmas! This week I'm happy to share this card I coloured using the adorable Gingerbread Cookie release - I love this collection there is SO much in it, such great value! This image is from the Candy bundle, but you can also find him as a digistamp or clipart too if you just want the image on its own!

Bea - For my card today I wanted to really make my image the front and center of my project. I used the digital stamp Polar Bear - Gnome Festive Fun and I ventured out of my comfort zone and colored my image with Prismacolor pencils. I added a sentiment from the Christmas greetings, quotes, sentiments and to finish it off I just chose some contrasting cardstock from my stash, I also used white gel pen to add the snow. Make sure to visit my IG page over here to check the reel for this card. Happy Crafting friends!!!


Carrianne - Hi, crafty friends! I am bringing you gnome-sized joy and candy cane sweetness, featuring the adorable image Candy Cane - Gnome Festive Fun, as well as Elvis Wesley Moose Themed Paper. The sentiment is from the Christmas Greetings digital set. Coloring up this gnomey was a lot of fun.
Copics used:
Gnome (nose): E50, R11-R00
Hair: Y21-Y23-Y26
Outfit: B95-B45-B41
Candy Cane: R39-R37-R35
Berries: RV25, R21
Bows/Heart: R81-R83



Becky - Hello! Today I've used this super cute printable stamp which is from the Bella bear collection - I just love her! You can get her in either the digistamp to colour or a pre coloured clipart version which is just great if you're short on time! 

Taty - The theme of the new challenge is Gnome so I chose an image from the fantastic collection of Gnome Festive Fun by Polkadoodles, specifically the DLPD8539 Special Wishes (precoloured) Gnome Festive FunI printed the image and cut it out precisely, to apply it thickly on the card. I created a simple card to highlight the Gnome, base card a red striped card, on top I glued a white card with reindeer imprinted and lastly a die-cut wood texture card to create windows. Have fun creating your greeting cards with the gnomes from the collection, they are fantastic!

Merja - I used Gnome Naughty or Nice stamp set and matching die set. I stamped the image, coloured it with alcohol markers and then die cut it. Then I added some glitter glue and details with white gel pen and white paint pen. The house part I made with stencil and distress ink, added the windows and lastly some details with white paint pen. Then I just taped the image on the upper part of it. It was so fun to do this!

More gorgeous inspiration for you this week to use - we hope you'll share what you make with your Polkadoodles products on our Social Media!

We are changing the challenge slightly to give you more time to enter so from now on our challenges will last for 3 weeks so you have an extra week to enter!


Judy: I have a Christmas card to share for my DT project this week and chose to use an animal image as my focal point. Pickles Hedgehog Gift was colored with Prismacolor Pencils and fussy cut. I created a background with solid color card stocks and die cuts using Layering Trees Cutting Dies and a snowflake die. The papers are from Set 1 Christmas Printable Papers. The sentiment was stamped and fussy cut.

Renske - This time, we were asked to create a Christmas card featuring either a snowman or an animal. I chose to work with the adorable Cute Snowfriends digital stamp. I coloured the snow friends with alcohol markers and created a wintery background using Distress Inks in Black Soot, Chipped Sapphire, Salty Ocean, and Peacock Feather. I added a texture with a crafting mousse to create the moon and the stars. The sentiment is from the Theo Penguin Greetings Sentiments bundle, which added the perfect festive touch. I hope you love it as much as I enjoyed making it. Happy crafting! My Instagram: @renske.wishes.you

ENRICA - Hello! Today I'm sharing this card I made using the gorgeous Theo Penguin collection! I used the main image from this Snowman Theo Penguin digital stamp and then also added the bird on top of the penguin and used a lovely background scene which is also included in the bundle. I hope you like it! 

Irre - Hello everyone. Today I created a shaker-card with the digital stamp Big gift Parcel. I stamped the background paper with Christmas gifts from the stamp set Curly Christmas. I also colored them and the digital stamp with Copic alcohol markers. I created a shaker element with a circle. For this circle I used a paper from Theo penguin paper bundle 4 and filled it with sequins. I added both the colored stamp and the shaker element to the stamped paper. I also added some modeling paste and art stones to the circle. I decorated it with charms and twine. Finally, I added a sentiment from Bella Bear Christmas message sheets.
Have a crafty day! My Instagram: @scrapbyirre

Revati - Fur babies look all the more adorable around Christmas. I used the Cooper Christmas Puppy Dog Gift Box Digi Stamp and colored the image using the Spectrum Noir Tri Color Markers in fun christmas colors. I used my Brother Scan n Cut Machine to cut out this image. I used this gorgeous red pattern to back my little puppy. It's from the Theo Penguin 4 printable paper pad. I added a strip of shiny gold along the edge of the patterned paper. I then used this fun font "Sending Lots of Christmas Cheer" from the Christmas Greeting Sentiment Digi Stamps

Becky - I used this super cute Santa Stop Here digi from the Bella Bear collections and made this hanger/Christmas decoration.

Rachael - Hi crafting friends! I wanted to share with you a card I made using the new vintage stag collection. He is just so striking! I used the tree die in this kit to make a stencil for the background, and then using black and gold splattered the card. Finished with black ink for the main stamp. I just love how elegant this turned out, a bit of sparkle and it's perfect for the Christmas mantelpiece!

Adam - Sometimes a stamp just cry's out to be made into a clean and simple card. This is what I heard from the Polkadoodles Crafts stamp set "Donuts About You" when I saw it. When a stamp instructs you what to make you just have to do it. (Don't be afraid of a lot of white space let the image do the talking.) I used PD8117 Donuts About You

Merja - I wanted to create something clean and quite simple. I used Deck the Halls stamp set and stamped the frame and the tree on the watercolour paper. Then I coloured them with metallic watercolours. Lastly I stamped the Joy text (from the same stamp set) with embossing ink and added gold embossing powder. Pretty joyous card, don't you think 😊

Julie Nagle - This Surprise “Pop Up” Christmas Cookie Kit, features delightful paper and whimsical images from Polkadoodles - Gingerbread & Holly digital designs download! This bundle is packed full of digital images, papers and sentiments to create this Pop Up Cookie Kit! This super fun kit is easy to create, looks beautiful and if the recipe and cookie making supplies just aren’t enough fun, the Pop Up Surprise image when opening the box will surely be! Pack the kit with a cookie cutter, icing tubes, and sprinkles to complete a festive and fun Christmas gift for budding bakers, teachers, or anyone who simply adores cookies. All of the details to create this project can be found on my blog. My InstagramFacebook

Bea - Hey guys! It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!! I am so excited to share this card with you. I have used the beautiful digital stamp Christmas Shopping and colored her with Copic alcohol markers. I also chose a sentiment from the Christmas Greetings digital sentiment set. Added some glittery purple cardstock from my stash and also used one of my old scalloped dies. I want to invite you to my Instagram Page to watch my reel coloring this cutie. Will you color her with me?

Carrianne - Hi friends! I come BEARing gifts today with some help from this cutie. Imagine opening this gift box on Christmas Day and this adorable little bear popping out of it? Wouldn't he be the best gift ever?!! For my card, I used the digital image Gift Box Parcel Bella Christmas Bear and colored it with Copic Markers. The festive paper is from the Elvis Wesley Moose Themed Papers. I cut the bottom portion with a scalloped edged die and assembled it onto an A2 card base. The sentiment is from the Christmas Greetings bundle which includes a variety of greetings to finish off your holiday cards. I finished the card with red sequins. 
Copics used:
Bear - E44-43-42-41, (nose) C7-6-3, (ear) R20
Holly - YG67-63-61
Gift box (large) C6-5-3-1-0, (small) C3-2-1-0
Ribbon - R39-37-35-32
Berries - RV25, R21

Taty - The theme of the new challenge is gift and the Santa Sleigh digital stamp is perfect, the sleigh full of gifts is nice, I relaxed coloring all the little packages and the beautiful Santa Claus. 
For coloring I used Prismacolor pencils in the following numbers: 
gloves and boots 1050-1065-1063, holly 109-1005, 
dress and hat 1027-903-919-1087, face and nose 939-1014, 
ur 1086-939-289 , gift packages in various colors. 
I added some highlights with white Nuvo Drops and glitter to create the soft snow. 
The image is so adorable and I want it to be the star of the card. The final measurement is 3 1/2 inches.
