Rachael - Hi everyone! If you need a quick card, why not use our pre-coloured images. This cute bunny called love you bunches from bunny love collection, is perfect, teamed with a few papers and white embellies. It's really easy but so professional-looking! Gorgeous to say thank you, love you or for any wedding cards!

Julie - Hello again! Today I’m sharing a delightful fun fold Thank You card featuring the charming Polkadoodles Tons of Love – Flowers for You Elephant. With a backdrop of Pretty Spring printable papers, this card sets the perfect scene for this adorable Copic-coloured image. The playful “Thanks a Ton” sentiment complements the theme, while expressing gratitude. You can find the quick & easy card details on my blog ; Instagram ; Facebook

Carrianne - Hi there! Today, I’m excited to share a beautiful bouquet of flowers, featuring the Flower Meadow Colored Printable Image. I printed the Flower Meadow colored image and cut it out using a 5" stitched square die. I added some splatter for extra texture and dimension. I then adhered it to a green mat before attaching it to a soft pink card base. The sentiment is from the Winnie Daisy Greetings set. I absolutely love the convenience of using printable images, especially during the busy holiday season! For more creative inspiration, be sure to follow me on Instagram @crafticarri

Wendy - Hi everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday and you're ready to get those crafty juices flowing again. We have a super fun challenge for you today using simple folds. I've created a dimensional pop-up card using the new Theo Penguin Winter Snow Days bundle. I combined the Snow Slide image with the Colouring Scene Mountains and Glaciers background to create a fun scene for these adorable penguins. I colored everything with my Copic markers, but remember we have pre-colored images as well. Thank you for looking!

Taty - Hi friends, I'm sharing my inspiration for the themed challenge. Thank you. I chose the Dencing Queen of Polkadoodles digital stamp which I colored with watercolors. I imagined the little dancer dancing to the hymn of life as a sign of gratitude. I created a card with the double Z fold, to have the pop-up effect. I placed the phrase of gratitude and flowers in the pop-up fold. The size of the closed card is 4 ¼ x 4 1/4 inches

Merja - I wanted to use this beautiful sunflower paper from Autumn Fall paper pattern 2 set. I added Thankful sentiment and the butterflies from Hearts and Flowers Butterfly 1 & 2 stamp sets. The butterflies are heat embossed and then coloured with alcohol markers. I also added some glitter glue on the blue butterfly before taping the butterflies on the background with foam tape to create some dimension.

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!

Renske - Hello everyone! Today we are showing you January birthday ideas. I made a shaker tag this time using the digital stamp Celebration - Winnie Celebration Winter. I coloured it with my alcohol makers. On the background of the shaker, I am using a patterned paper from the Winnie Celebration 1 - digital paper set. I used the paper with the balloons to give it a festive touch. I used the sentiment Let's Party from the Winnie Celebrations kit 2 -sentiment set. Hope you like it. Happy Crafting! My Instagram: @renske.wishes.you, Facebook: Renske.wishes.you

Judy: The design team was asked to created a project, not a card, appropriate for a January Birthday for this week's inspiration. I made a gift bag and tag. The bag was constructed with white card stock and I added a band of patterned paper from 11 Icy Winter Papers Set 1 Theo Penguin. The focal is a shaker created with one of the new Theo Penguin digis, Sealed with a Gift Theo Penguin. I colored the digi with Prismacolor Pencils. The background of the shaker is from 10 Precoloured Background Scenes Bundle Winter and Ice Theo Penguin. I made a tag using dies from the Snow Globe Die Set.

Enrica - Happy New Year everyone and Happy Birthday to all of you who clebrate this month! For my project this week I’ve made a small bag using the sweet Champagne Celebration digital stamp colored with Copic and patterned paper from the Mod the cat printable bundle. I’ve added a sentiment from the Everyday greetings and quotes - Winnie Daisy Fairy and glittered foam. Have a wonderful Birthday!


Revati - Hello crafty friends, wishing you all a very happy new year! As I start this new year with some clean and simple cards, I started with a quick and elegant birthday card using the Alcea Hollyhock Flowers Bundle. This beautiful floral patterned paper covers the entire card front. The "Sending Birthday Wishes" sentiment also comes from the same bundle. I added a touch of sparkle to my flowers using some Spectrum Noir Glitter Brush Pens and some sequin mix.

Jenn B - I made a bookmark for my granddaughter Raeana, who turns 6 on January 15. I used Capricorn digital stamp, colored with alcohol markers and fussy-cut, then attached with foam dimensional tape. I used the Capricorn paper from the Zodiac signs - Printable Paper Patterns for the background. I used xx from the Birthday Sentiments & Greetings digital stamp set. I sponged the edges of the bookmark and added some little pearl stickers, then tied a floss-like ribbon on it.

Adam - I Made a birthday card in soft shades of pinks and blues by stamping the flowers on pink and blue craft paper from the Soft and Scrumptious paper pad. Die cut the flowers and leaves to be placed onto the background of printed tissue paper with a bit of ink shading. Next, I cut out some blue individual flowers and used dimensional tape to attach them over the matching flowers to add depth to the card front. Attached card front to a blue card base. Finally, I added the sentiment to the front stamped on matching blue card stock.
Products used:
1. PD8025 great occasions stamps
2. PD8753 Hydrangea Ribbon Stamp Matchables

So, let's see the inspiration from the team for this week  - we've been creating lots of gorgeous projects for you... 

Rachael - Hi everyone. Have you seen the latest stamp and die release? It’s so fun and funky and I think it’s perfect for men and boys cards. I made this using a distress ink blended back ground. I then stamped, coloured and die cut the new hip hip hooray die. Simple, quick and easy for the males in you life!

Julie - This fun and festive New Year card features Winnie Celebrations- Anniversary Digital Image from Polkadoodles. The bubbly background was created using black cardstock, lunar paste, and a bubbly stencil, layered with some sparkling gold cardstock. Winnie is Copic Colored in her best black evening gown with gold glittery accents. Glossy dots allowed the champagne bottle and glasses to shine and shimmer because on this card front - It’s Time to Party! Winnie is attached to the card front with a spring wobbler allowing her to be a little tipsy! The inside sentiment reads “Save Water - Drink Champagne” from the Winnie Celebrations Sentiments 1. Full Details on my blog. Wishing you all a very Happy New Year! My Instagram, Facebook

Bea - Hey guys! Today I have for you a winter/new year card. Each year when we lived in the Midwest, my family and I would go tubing/sledding and play in the snow, since is snows so much there, we would receive the new year that way. I wanted to make a card that reminded me of that time, and this was perfect for that. I used the digital stamp Husky Hugs - Octavia Frosted Winter and the background Colouring scene 2 Christmas printable craft card making coloring page I colored my scene with copic alcohol markers, the sky with distress ink and a cloud stencil from my stash, also used a white paint pen to create the snow on the trees and under Octavia. I hope my card has inspired you to create today.

Carrianne - Today, I am sharing a new year card with the beautiful Champagne Celebration Colour digital image from Polkadoodles. I loved how easy and fun it was to make this, as it was my first time using a pre-coloured image. I began by printing the sentiment from the Happy New Year digital bundle onto a white panel and then die-cutting it with a scalloped frame. I then blended black and gold inks through a star stencil and adhered it to a black mat. Then, I attached it to a white card base. Next, I resized the image, printed it, and fussy cut it out. I then added foam tape to the image for dimension. I topped the card off by adding gold stars for a touch of sparkle. For more creative inspiration, be sure to follow me on Instagram @crafticarri

Taty – Hi friends, I'm sharing my inspiration for the New Year themed challenge. I chose the Winnie Wonderland Time will Tell digital stamp which I colored with Prismacolor in the following colors: face 1013-939, dress 919-903-1027, hair 1085-1093-1080-943, stockings 1009.

I created a tag using a die with irregular edges to cut the bright blue cardboard, on top I glued a white tag with a checkered texture obtained with a folder, finally I cut out the image precisely and applied it thickly to the tag. I added a printable sentiment from the Happy New Year collection.

Merja - The theme was New Year so I wanted to create something fun and glittery. I used glitter paint markers to create the fireworks on the black cardboard. I stamped the champagne bottle and the flying cork from Cheers Lovely stamp set and coloured them also with glitter paint markers. Then I stamped the flying cork and a sentiment from Bottoms Up stamp set to the background with gold ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. Lastly I taped the bottle and the cork on the background. It was super fun to do this! Unfortunately the pic taking wasn't so easy because of all the glitter but I hope it shows well enough the fun and colourful New Year's eve 😊

Wendy - Hi everyone! Look at this adorable little Gingerbread Cookie girl showing off all of her candy!. I can picture her dancing with excitement as she decorates her yummy gingerbread house. She's just one of the many sweet images available in the Gingerbread Bundle. You can find her in the Santa Mug kit and the gingerbread house is in the Snow Day kit. I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!
