Naomi - Hello everyone! Excited to be here, YAY! I did a gift bag for this week's "anything but a card" challenge. I picked Gnometastic Sunny for my main digi, with two digital papers behind him, which are Halloween Trick or Treat printable papers and the Halloween Trick or Treat printable papers bundle 2. The tissue paper for the gift bag was made by printing Polkadoodles printable papers on a sheet of tissue paper to match the background of the gift bag! The two cute acorns attached to the ribbons are from the fall-autumn Digi bundle. As for the sentiment, I picked a matching sentiment from the Spring Gnome fun puns, quotes and sentiments-printable stamps for cardmaking. Gnometastic Sunny is coloured using my Ohuhu markers. Please see below for the colours that I used. Follow me on Instagram. 

I used the following colours:

• Hat: BR1, YR5, YR2
• Shirt: Y10, Y4
• Pants: BR1, YR5, YR2, & Y3, Y11, Y2, Y1
• Beard/ Shoes: CG1100, CG1104, CG1107
• Leaves: G1, G3, G8
• Flowers: Y3, Y11, Y2
• Accorns: BR1, YR5, YR2

Mayte Castañeda - hello everyone I'm so excited to be part of the Polkadoodles team! I made a cute Halloween Tag for this first post - I love this Witch digi so much! She is from the Spellbinding Witches collection and is called Cordelia - I look forward to following your blogs and hope you will also follow my social too!...

Sara Wyles - I've made this all-out purple card today using strips of embossed card and this super cute image from the Boo Halloween collection called Bat Girl Boo - she is SO adorable!

Pam ~ Our challenge this week was 'no cards - tags, books or gift bags. With Halloween approaching, I decided to make a tag to add to a gift or treat bag. I covered my 2" x 4" Kraft tag with the spiderweb paper from Polkadoodles Boneshakin' Halloween Craft papers. I cut and Copic colored a full moon for the background and secured it. Then I stamped and colored several of the images from the Scary Boo stamp set and fussy cut them out. I raised the bat, girl and top of the candle stick with foam and secured the other pieces at the base to completed the cute little tag.

Merja - This time I made a glittery flower tag. I used the Blossoming Rose stencil and glitter paint pens to create this beautiful flowery background (sorry, the glitter doesn't show very well, it's a pain to photograph). I think the pattern itself is so beautiful that I only added a congratulations text stamped on vellum (using the Sentimentals stamp set) and a black satin ribbon.

Irre - Sharing today a new project made for Polkadoodles. As a focal point, I used the digital stamp called Serenity Fairy kisses. I colored her with Copics and then cut her out. The background is made of watercolor paper. I colored it in with Distress ink, water splats, and stamps from Best day ever. I decorated with sewing threads, purple flowers, die-cut out leaves from the Super sprigs cutting die. I added a sentiment and added some white splats with white acrylic paint.

Wendy - Hi everyone! I'm stepping outside of my comfort zone today and NOT making a card. Instead, I've used the new super adorable Snow Globe Carol Singing Bella Christmas Bear to create a really fun double sided shaker ornament. I just love Bella and all of her adorable friends in the Christmas Bear bundle. It's that time of year when we need to get a move on and make those Christmas cards and crafts. Play along with the challenge today and start crafting with me. I can't wait to see what you create! Thank you for looking!

Nunzia: my project today is a handmade paper bag. I decorated it with a patterned sheet from Lily bug papers and flowers cut out from another piece of paper. I coloured this charming Girl with flowers in hair with alcohol markers, fussy cut it and glued to one side of the bag. The sentiment is part of Lily bug messages.

Rachael - Hello crafting friends!. Rachael here again with some more inspiration. You don't just have to make cards with your crafty stash. how about using some stamps and some card to make bag toppers for cute trick-or-treat bags. these could be for a party, or just to hand out. I used a stamp set called Fab-boo-lous but you could use any image for any occasion.

Wow!! Lots of gorgeous inspiration for you this week to use - we hope you'll share what you make with your Polkadoodles products on our Social Media! Share in our Facebook group here

Let's see the inspiration from the team - we've been creating lots of lovely Halloween/Autumn inspiration for you!... 

Today we're welcoming some super new crafters onto the team and we can't wait to start sharing their work with you all! So big huge welcomes to Jane Robinson, Tinne Peeters, Sarah Wyles and Deborah Hellman!

Jane Robinson - Hi there. This is Jane, and this is my first DT project for Polkadoodles and I couldn’t be happier to be part of the guest design team. I used Wheelbarrow Gnome and Frankenstein Gnome coloured using my Spectrum Noir markers. I have the Tri-blends and the brush Tri-blends and used a mixture of the two. The colours I used are as follows:

• Purple blend – PL, PL3, PL2
• Alpine green blend – AG5, AG3, AG1
• Orange blend – OR3, OR2, OR1
• Brown grey blend – BG9, BG6, BG2
• Ice grey blend – IG10, IG7, IG2
• Dark red blend – DR7, DR4, DR1
• Earth brown blend – EB7, EB4, EB1
• Fair skin blend – FS8, FS7, FS6

I also used a touch of coloured pencil for more definition, and Gelly Roll no.10 for highlights. I added the ‘EEK’, and the 'Pump Up Your Pumpkins' sentiments mat on pink, purple and black card stock with thin borders to help those sentiments to pop off the card. I fussy cut the cauldron, ghost, bat and haunted house from the patterned paper for added decoration.

Tinne Peeters - Hi everyone! For my first challenge as a DT member I chose a ghost as a Halloween icon. The Boo Ghost Halloween Gnome precoloured digital stamp is perfect for it! I created a full moon background using stencils and Distress Oxide inks. I cut out a black grass border using a die, and inked the top of the grass blades with blue ink. The sentiment I used is from the Halloween Trick or Treat Printable Greetings set. A video of how I made this card will be available on my Instagram page, I'd love it if you'd follow me and say hello!...

Deborah Hellman - Hello all, so good to be here!  Here are two cute Halloween projects that I created using the Digi Winnie Wednesday Witch and Cat. For the Halloween treat bag, I slightly enlarged the Boo Halloween paper  in order to cover a 8.5 x 11" landscaped paper and added the image before printing. I then folded, glued, and added an optional decorative border and ribbon at the top. After completing the bag, I decided to make a smaller matching card using the same image. The sentiments for both projects came from the Boo Sentiment Bundle .I colored all images using Copic alcohol ink markers listed below. I hope you like them as much as I enjoyed creating them.

• Robe, Hat, Hair: RV 52, 63, 55, 66
• Hair, Hat, Cat: C 2, 3, 5, 7, 9 and BV 23
• Pumpkins: Y 35 and YR 15, 18
• Skin: E 00, 11, 13 and RV 11
• Dress: BG 11, 23, 49
• Broom and Pumpkin Tops: E 23, 27, 79 and YR 31
• Buckle: YR 31 and E 31
• Leaves: YR 31 and BG 93

Sarah Wyles - I'm thrilled to be part of the team! Today I've been busy creating with the super cute witch from the Boo Collection and layering paper textures. I inked all around the edges for a spooky feel and made her look a little 'green' lol. 

Judy: My DT project for this week's challenge is a Halloween card created with the Grab Your Broomstick Matchables Stamp and Die Set. I colored the images with Spectrum Noir Markers. The background was done by watercoloring with Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pens. The sentiment was stamped and die cut.

  

Natalia - Halloween has been on our blog lately, so today, I have another card with pumpkins for this occasion. I used a giant pumpkin from the new collection - Ghastly Ghost Halloween. I used Boneshakin Halloween paper as a background, and additional images such as leaves, bats, and small pumpkins are from the Autumn Fall Halloween Treat collection. Everything was colored with alcohol markers.

Sabina - We are in the Halloween mood. I made a quick and easy Halloween treat holder out of 6"x 6" piece of paper and decorate it with the paper scraps from the Happy Cactus Succulent printable paper patterns 1. I added a pre-coloured Apple Bobbing Halloween Gnome digi and one of the sentiments from Halloween Trick or Treat printable Greetings.

Enrica - Hi everyone, Happy Halloween! This week the DT was asked to use Halloween icons and I decided to make a card with the cute Boo Halloween Ghost digital stamp which includes most of them (a ghost -of course!-, a pumpkin, a coffin and some spiders), added a scary sentiment from the Halloween Trick or Treat printable Word Art set and a bat from an old Halloween set. I created my purple background colored with Copic, patterned paper is from the Halloween Trick or Treat printable papers bundle 2.

Sonja - These Boxes are quickly crafted I simply used my favorite papers from Halloween Trick or Treat printable papers bundle 1 and printed out in large then I folded the triangle Boxes and decorated with Halloween Trick or Treat printable Word Art and finished are the treats for our neighbor kids little Devil Boo is a great sweet decoration as well as on one of the boxes for a special person.

Renske - Hello everyone. This time I created a Halloween gnome card using Polkadoodle's digital stamp Pumpkins Halloween Gnome. I coloured this super cute stamp with my alcohol markers. I also used two different patterned papers from the Boo Halloween printable background paper digital bundle. I combined these to make a background for these fun gnomes. I used the patterned paper with the spider webs to add some dimension with the colours black and blue ink. In addition, I cut ghosts from another patterned paper to glue them onto the spider web paper. This way you can easily create your own background. To finish the card I used the text "Pump up your Pumpkins from the Halloween Trick or Treat printable Greetings set. I hope you like it again. Happy Crafting!

Naomi - Hello everyone! This week’s challenge is one of my favourites – it’s a colour challenge! For my card, I picked the Gil Rabbit Gardening digi stamp. As for the sentiment, I picked a matching sentiment from the Spring Gnome sentiments. This cute little Rabbit is coloured using my Ohuhu markers.Please follow My Instagram here...
I used the following colours: Rabbit: E400, E380 WG01, CGII00, R18, R19, Rabbit’s shorts BR2 E240 E210, Rabbit’s Shirt: BG4, BG5, BG68, Pot: Y4 YR2 YR2, Leaves: G7 G5 G9, Pumpkin: Y4 YR3 YR190

Pam - For the Fall theme with our color pallet challenge, I've selected Careful - Winnie Special Moments. They are colored with Copic markers then I added the Polkadoodles Stencil, Heavenly circles with Cracked Pistachio Distressed Oxides in the background. I've mounted them on papers from the In love with Autumn paper pack and finished the card with the sentiment and a sunflower wax seal.

Merja - On my card I used the pumpkins from Scary Boo Stamp Set and Grab Your Broomstick Stamp Set. I coloured them with alcohol markers and added some white gel pen. The background paper is from Halloween/Autumn Printable Papers and I mixed it with a black cardboard to create this fun card base full of stars. The text is from Scary Boo Stamp Set and I heat embossed it.

Nunzia: Autumn is coming and I enjoyed to colour lady bug on her leaf with autumnal shades. I glued the panel with double foam tape onto a background made up of a dot paper and a scalloped frame cut from Love Always printable Papers and Cute Lily Ladybug paper bundles respectively. The sentiment is part of Cute Lily Ladybug Ladybird themed messages.

Irre - Hi, sharing today a tag that I created for Polkadoodles with the digital stamp called Verocia from the Little Monsters collection. I colored the stamp with Copics. For the background of the tag, I used distress ink and stamped it with several stamps from the stamp set Doodle dragonfly. I also did some edge stamping. I added the Verocia stamp and added white splatters with gesso. Finally, I added a green ribbon to the tag.

Wendy - Hi Everyone! Who's ready for Fall? I know I am. We're playing with Fall colors on the blog today. I used Country Road Scene Background and colored it in amazing Fall colors and then added this adorable Autumn Wheelbarrow Halloween Gnome to complete the scene. I colored everything with Copic markers. One of my favorite things about Fall is all of the beautiful colors and I love bringing cards to life with them. I can't wait to see what you create!

I used this die called Foxy fun paired with a gorgeous teal for a pop of colour on a stenciled background. The stencil is called leafy craft. A tip to bring our critters to life is to use a bit of distress ink around the edges to add dimension. Enjoy!
