Kerri - Sharing a card I made using the new stamp set called Do Small Things With Love along with matching outline dies which are called Do Small Things With Love. The embellishments were done with dies and the set is called All You Need Is Love Dies. I colored with Prisma Pencils.

Judy - I'm creating for Mother's Day this week!. I made a slimline card using one of the digis from Sheepy Sheepy Sheep Sheep Spring Easter Printables. The digi was printed, colored with Prismacolor Pencils and fussy cut. I used a sentiment from Spring Flower Mothers Day Friends Greetings Sentiment Printables. The papers I used for there background are from Noodle Panda Set 1 Printable Papers. I added 3 glitter dots for embellishment.

Adam - This beauty started with stamping six Polkadoodles daisies and coloring them with alcohol markers in shades of yellow. I next picked the Polkadoodles paper that coordinated with the flowers for the main background. Here I used a piece of Polkadoodles All about the Dudes paper. I finished it off with layers of black, gray and green card stock. The sentiment was stamped on a small tag and added to the card.

Revati- Hello crafty friends, I created a pretty floral card for all you beautiful mothers out there. I used the Alcea Hollyhock Flowers Digi Stampand colored the image using alcohol markers in my favorite color combination - pinks and purples. This floral focal point covers almost the entire card front. I used a beautiful sentiment from the Mother's Day Messages and Sentiments Digi Stamp. I added some shine and shimmer on my florals using my glitter brush pens and added some white highlights for an extra pop!

Enrica - Hi crafty friends! For my Mother’s Day project I’ve made a round easel card using the wonderful precoloured Pefect Peony digital stamp together with digital papers from the Happy Cactus Succulent printable paper patterns 1, Bella Bear Morning Coffee and Winnie Sunshine Delights 6"x 6" Paper Pack 2. Sentiments are from the Darling Buds Spring Flower Mothers Day Friends greetings sentiments. In Italy we celebrate Mother’s Day in May so it will take a few months before I give this to my mum… but I’m quite sure she will love it!

Jenn B - I used one of the papers and digi stamp from the Flower Meadow set, colored with alcohol markers. I cut the bottom and sides to be rectangular, and then fussy-cut the top of the flowers, then attached it with foam dimensional tape to a piece of distressed watercolor paper. I then matted that onto the pretty digi paper with the sentiment printed directly on it.
More gorgeous inspiration for you this week to use, big thanks to the team! We hope you'll share what you make with your Polkadoodles products on our Social Media!

Merja - I did something different this time - no colouring at all, OMG! 😊 I decided to try my ScanNCut to create this cute memory box. First I printed 2 beautiful yellowish red papers from Spring into Easter papers set 1 & set 2. Because I wanted the inside part of the box to also have some beautiful patterns I also printed a green paper from set 1 to the other side of the red papers. I also printed blue paper from Spring into Easter papers set 3 (same print for both sides of the printing paper) to cut the index cards from. The printing paper needs to be quite thick so that the box is sturdy enough - the paper I used was 250gsm and it's quite good (but could also be thicker). Then I did some magic with the Recipe Box Svg Print & Cut Template svg files and cut the box parts from the papers I just printed. I did some folding and gluing and assembled the box. Lastly I added some pre-coloured images to embellish the box a little - I used Tropical Sorbet Craft Set (alphabets), Lily Bug Ladybird Frames, Teacup Lily Ladybug pre-coloured, Lovebird Letter pre-coloured, Bob the Dog in a Boat craft bundle, Surprise Gift Winnie pre-coloured and Bella Bear Morning Coffee craft bundle. So the box is now done, just need to add the memories inside. But that's a case for another day 😊


Carrianne - Hello everyone! Today, I’m excited to share a beautiful floral card featuring the Perfect Peony digital image. Our theme this week was Mother’s Day, and since my mom absolutely loves peonies, this card will definitely bring a smile to her face! I paired the image with the lovely Mother’s Day digital sentiments to complete the design. I printed the Perfect Peony image twice — once on cardstock and once on regular copy paper to create a mask. After placing the mask on top of the image, I splattered some black ink over it to add a touch of texture and contrast. I added color to the image using my Prismacolor pencils to bring out the beautiful details of the peony, blending the colors for a soft, rich finish. Then, I adhered the colored image to a white A2 card base to complete the card.
Prismacolor pencils:
Pink: PC929-PC994
Green: PC913-PC909
Taty - Hello creative friends! My DT inspiration for the new Mother's Day themed challenge was created with the gorgeous pre-colored Lovely Bouquet Colour digital image and beautiful phrases from the Winnie Celebrations 1 Sentiments bundle. I created an esplosion box to give some chocolates to my mom. The beauty of Polkadoodles digital images is being able to print them in the desired size, as you can see with the small image I decorated the lid and with the large one I decorated the inside of the box

Nunzia: in Italy Mother's day is in May, and this is a good opportunity to make an early gift 😀. I decided to prepare a wallet decorated with Dahlia-flower-2 papers and fussy cut flowers printed in different sizes. The sentiment is taken from Mother's day messages bundle.



Julie - This project was a little complex to show in a photo. For this reason I included a collage photo ( dropbox ) to capture the complexity of the notebook and how the Lavender Tea printables are showcased. Our design team challenge was Mother’s Day… not a card. Hmmm?! What could every mother use, handcrafted from paper using gorgeous digital images that would be heartfelt, beautiful and practical? Why a notebook of course!! Using the lovely Lavender Tea -This collection has so many papers, quotes, frames & tags (not to mention some really cool templates) that make it perfect for creating a Notebook.. and it’s easier than you think! Find all of the details for this project on my blog.

More gorgeous inspiration for you this week to use, big thanks to the team! We hope you'll share what you make with your Polkadoodles products on our Social Media!

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

Enrica - Hi everyone! Spring is almost around the corner and it’s time to think about taking care of the garden. For my card I used the amazing digital image and patterned papers from the Cute Gnome feeding bird and mouse value bundle colored with Ohuhu markers. I love this gnome, he is simply delightful taking care of his little friends as he prepares to plant seeds in his garden! Happy crafting! xx

Adam - I Made a generic card using the Polkadoodles Crafts "Every Wish Stamp" and "Pretty & Pink Papers". This clean and simple card was basic stamping of the flower image and coloring it with alcohol markers. I added a few embellishments and layered it on a dark purple then onto the card base of Pretty & Pink floral paper.

I printed her out on white cardstock, colored her with alcohol markers and then fussy-cut the top part of her while keeping the bottom piece square to create dimension.  I used foam dimensional tape to attach the image to the card.  I used Paper Patterns 4 - Winnie Daisy Fairy printable paper for the background, and "Have a toad-ally awesome day" sentiment from the Spring Tons of Love greetings/sentiments/quotes set.  I added some pink ribbon to finish it off. Jenn x

Judy: My inspiration card this week is Spring themed. I used Butterfly Flowerpots as the focal which was colored with Prismacolor Pencils and fussy cut. My background is comprised of white card stock on which the sentiment from Spring Flower Mothers Day Friends Greetings Sentiments Printable was printed. The bottom of the card is a patterned paper from Winnie Daisy Fairy Printable Paper Patterns 4. I added 3 gems to complete my card design.

Revati - Hello crafty friends, spring is here! I can hear the little birds chirping and the beautiful flowers blooming and so is the season of love. I used this cute and adorable little chick using the Eggcited Chick Spring into Easter Digi Stamp. I colored it using my Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers and paired it with a beautiful sentiment "Love Grows Here" from the Spring Tons of Love Greetings and Sentiments which I thought matched our little spring scene.

Renske - Hello Everyone! For this card, I’ve used the Hello Spring digital stamp, which captures the essence of spring with its playful design featuring adorable ducks and butterflies. I printed the image, coloured it with alcohol markers, and added a glossy finish to the letters using Paper Glaze for a fun touch. The background was created using simple stencilling techniques with Distress Inks, layering grasses and clouds for a fresh spring feel. Once the image was cut and arranged on foam tape, I attached it to a clean, simple card base for a cheerful, dimensional look. I hope this inspires you to create your own spring-themed cards for the challenge! Happy crafting!My Instagram: @renske.wishes.you  Facebook: Renske.wishes.you
