Nelly - Hello lovely crafters! Today I made this interactive card using the All the Dirt stamp and die set. Firstly I stamped the images All the dirt and water coloured using my pens onto water coloured card. You can find the stamp and matching outline die collection Here - all the dirt, the design papers were taken from the work and play 4 digital collection. The inside sentiments was taken from all occasion stamp set. I hope you like it!

Enrica - Hello again my crafty friends! I'm so happy to share with you my Father's Day card using a few characters from the super cute Fathers Day digideal bundle. I chose the black and white images and colored them with Copic markers but, in case you need a last minute project, you can find precoloured images as well! You can use this Family Bundle for anything... 54 files included it's a crazy deal!
Big hugs, Enrica

Jenn - The Polkadoodles DT was tasked with creating a Father's Day card this go-around, and I thought this adorable Bamboo Snack Time Panda was the perfect digi for this! I colored him with Copics, fussy cut, and attached him with foam dimensional tape. I added some die cut leaves around him which blend in nicely with that Noodle Panda Set 3 paper!

Revati - I created a fun and playful Father’s Day card featuring an adorable chef gnome grilling up something yummy. The image was printed and colored with Ohuhu alcohol markers, and paired with coordinating sentiments to build a cheerful scene. I used a postage die for added texture on the main panel and layered it over a striped patterned paper background, creating a bright and festive card perfect for celebrating Dad. More details on my blog.

Judy - My Fathers Day inspiration card is created with the Retire & Snooze Gnome for Men Printable stamp. The image colored with markers is popped onto a die cut & stenciled circle. A pattern paper forms the background. A sentiment and some embellishments are added.

So let's see what the team have made to inspire us this week!

Nelly - firstly Spritzed alcohol inks onto Yupo paper in blues, pink and gold, next I printed and coloured Winnie Sunshine bouquet digi stamp image with alcohol pens you can find the image HERE.
The flowers were die cut and coloured with oxides, you can get the dies HERE. The Sentiment was stamped using All Occasion stamps (also comes with a die Strip) HERE
Liz - Hi there! Today I've made Hubby's retirement sign for his man shed!! lol!  I've used this great MDF board from the Altered Art Board and chipboard set which you can decorate to anything you wish, so I added lots of gardening elements from the SUMMER GARDEN collection which I really love. The tools and leaves are all from the gorgeous Green Fingers chipboard elements, along with these lush die cut leaves called leafy Fronds and I just layered some torn papers from the Not so plain kraft paper pack.

Julie - The Horace and Boo digi stamps are always so much fun to create with, however when it's a friends birthday card - it only adds to the fun! I chose to color the See Saw Friends image with Copic Markers. I added the image using foam tape to a die cut background that I had first embossed to give the design some texture. I also blended a slight bit of ink around the edges of the embossed layer to tie it in with my background panel of the same shape cut from a pattern paper in shades of orange and yellow. After adding the background layer to a card base, used foam tape to give the embossed layer a bit of a boost so it would pop out from the card base. A few coordinating gems and a perfectly paired sentiment finished the card off.

Maria - I went for a slow, mindful crafting session today, focusing on coloring this sweet Winnie image with my Polychromos pencils. Her big hat and tiny pup are just too cute for words! For the background, I used the Boho perfect poppies layering stencils to create a floral scene that matches my coloring perfectly. I kept things simple for the greeting by using the Everyday sentiment strip pack, the perfect no-stamp solution. To finish it off, I added mats in a deep blackberry shade to give the colors extra depth and contrast.

Taty - Hello creatives, today I'm sharing my DT birthday-themed inspiration, a quick project for those who are short on time but want to personalize greeting cards. I created a card, starting from a cream-colored, 250g cardstock that I folded into a Z. On the front half of the cardboard I glued a green sheet and then I decorated everything with the pre-colored poppy images from the collection Winnie Stepping Stones digital stamp.  On the front I glued the poppy background and on the inside I applied the precisely cut poppies. To give a touch of light and movement I applied the Nuvo red Drops glitter on the poppy petals and the Cristal Drops transparent morning dew on the butterfly's wings.

Robbie - Hello everyone, We all need birthday cards and I don't know about you but once in a while you need one for the little people in our lives. Here is an idea using a fun Surprise Cake image. I colored it with some colored pencils. The pattern paper from Alcea Hollyhock Flowers bundle had colorful dots to add to the fun image. The Spring Flowers Mother's Day Friends greeting had a simple birthday I punched out. I finished it off with some silver candle gems from my stash.

So let's see what the team have made to inspire us this week!

We are thrilled to welcome Nelly back to the team - it's been too long since she was here, so make sure you pop over to her socials and say hello again!

Nelly - Hello everyone, it's great to be back creating with Polkadoodles again! I missed you! For my project I made an A2 waterfall card using The Bubble stencil to complete the backgrounds on the 4 panels using watercolour. Next I stamped and watercoloured images from Birthday Surprise and Sweet Birthday stamps. The sentiments were all stamped and cut from the Bright and Beautiful stamp and die cut set.
Products used:


Renske - For this card, I created a soft arch-shaped base by hand-cutting the shape from white cardstock and layering it with a lilac mat for subtle contrast. The background was blended using Distress Inks in Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean, and Dusty Concord, keeping the centre light to highlight the image. I coloured the Bluebell Flower Girl digi stamp with alcohol markers, using a mix of blue and purple tones in the flowers to tie in with the background. The image was fussy cut with a fine white border and popped up with foam tape for gentle dimension, while the extra flowers were adhered flat. I finished the card with a “Thinking of You” sentiment from the Every Day Greetings and Quotes set, keeping the overall design clean so the colouring remains the focus. Hugs Renske

Enrica - Hi crafty friends! This week the DT was asked to make a card with a not standard shape and I immediately thought of a honeycomb shaped card. The idea came from the will to use some cute digis from the Bee Buzzy digital set.. I love this release and couldn't wait to color some more!
Products used:
Happy crafting! xx Enrica


Jenn B - The digi I used from Polkadoodles is called Mocha Coffee Cup and the papers I used to paper-piece the coffee cup were from the Rebel Papers 3 pack. I simply fussy cut the cup out twice from cardstock, then fashioned a tiny card to attach each piece along the edge. I printed the cup again onto patterned paper to paper-piece it and did the same with the sentiment. I created the I love you a sentiment in Canva and used a heart nesting die to cut it out. The word Latte is from the Coffee, Tea and Cake Word Art set.


Revati - Who says cards have to be rectangles? I’m sharing this unique shaped card today using the Mocha Cup Coffee Digi Stamp. I paired it with a sentiment from the Winnie Daisy Messages set for those Happy Whatever kind of days. I used a simple hinge fold to turn this caffeinated cutie into a standing card. More details on my blog.

I would love it if you could follow me on social media:

Liz - I felt in the mood for an art journal page again, so this time I played with a stencil and some texture paste. When dry, I used Gelatos and Distress Crayons for the colours, creating a more grungy look. I used the gorgeous Every Wish stamp set again, masking off to create a hidden flower peeking out behind the stem, then simply adding the butterfly stamp from the same set above. These were coloured with Distress pencils. I used the smaller stamps from the set to add a little interest here and there to finish the page. I love doing a grungy look now and again and love how different the stamp set looks depending on the colours and mixed media you use.
Products used:
Judy - My scalloped circle card was created with the Bunny with Carrots Colour Printable as the focal image. It was fussy cut and popped onto a circle die cut placed onto a patterned paper background. I added the sentiment, printable flowers and a bow.
