So let's get to today's inspiration...today the team were asked to create something for Winter Sports - let's see what they made for us... 

Kim Simpson - This week, I made a winter sports themed wobbler card, starring Agnes Elephant! This is my all-time favorite image, and I really love how sweet she is! I colored the Agnes Elephant Ice Skating digital stamp with Copics and paired her with digital papers from the Little Monsters Collection. I added a bit of shimmer under the ice skates to give the appearance that she is skating on ice and added some clear glass bubbles for dimension.

Merja - On my card I used Winnie Winterland Skating Around image, coloured it with alcohol markers and then cut it with Posydoodles Circles die. I wanted to play with red and blue so I used the background papers from Winnie Starfish/Sandcastles Papers 3 set and added some red cardboard also. The text is from Winnie White Christmas Big Kahuna.

Nunzia: how fun is skiing? This pair of  Snowman and Bear shows it to us. I printed them directly onto the first patterned layer and coloured the scene with alcohol markers. Then I added it to the base decorated with the combination of two patterned papers and a red twine. All the papers are from Papers-2-winnie-white-christmas-digi, the sentiment is from Winnie daisy greetings quotes and finally poinsettias are printed, coloured and fussed cut from Winnie Winterland digis.

Pam - For my Winter Sports, I've selected "Ice Fishing" from the Octavia Frosted Winter Collection.  While Octavia makes a great card alone, I wanted to create more of a scene, so I added the Polkadoodles Igloo in the background and then colored a pink to purple sky.  I've grabbed the sentiment from the Love Always set to complete this winter sports card. 
Ariadna  - I love this little Cable Car digistamp from the new Theo Penguin collection - it's the perfect image for this challenge and I loved using it! I outlined the image with a fine liner pen to give it a more mixed media look, I hope you like it...
RachaelI'm not really a winter sports kinda person, but I can see how much fun these two cute penguins are having skating and sledging.  They are from a stamp set called Latte Christmas tweetings paired with the tree from Curly Christmas and  a sentiment from Merry & Bright christmas greetings.   I decided to make a different shape of card so it really stands out on someone's mantle this Christmas!
Great projects, thanks so much to the whole team, we hope you are feeling inspired!

Wk 50 Card making & craft challenge - Anything Goes at Polkadoodles

It's time for a brand new card making & crafting challenge!...

So let's get to today's inspiration...today the team were asked to create something for an adult Winter Birthday - let's see what the team made for us...

ENRICA - Hello everyone! For my project of this week I've made a square easel card using the super sweet Birthday Gifts - Winnie winter celebration digital papercrafting download colored with Copic markers. On the inside I made a paper rosette and added a few precoloured gifts from the Baked With Love - Embellies digital craft paper download. Happy Birthday to those who celebrate these days! xx 

 Judy:  My DT project for this week's challenge is a card that is perfect for someone with a Christmas birthday! I used the Wonderful Christmas Clear Stamp SetThe large poinsettia from the set was stamped 3 times with Versamark ink and embossed with gold embossing powder. The flowers were colored with Castle Arts Pasteltint Pencils. I layered the flowers onto a die cut background and added a sentiment from Winnie Celebrations 1 Sentiment Digital Kit, which was printed and die cut with a label die.

NataliaChristmas time is a beautiful time and it gets even more special when you also celebrate your birthday. For this occasion, I created a Christmas shaker card, albeit at the same time sweet, shiny, and ideal for a birthday. The Rockin Robin Christmas stamp was perfect for this. The whole front page is painted with Distress and splashed with water. Inside the card, I placed a tiny gold hologram glitters. Hopefully ... you like this idea.
Sarah - Christmas Birthdays can be hard, so for this card I chose a wintery birthday card with just a little hint of Christmas with that cute little robin! 
Sarah - Christmas Birthdays can be hard, so for this card I made a wintery birthday card with just a little hint of Christmas with that cute little robin! It was very simple to make, I just created a soft background using the Land & Sea stencil, then added lots of die cut trees. I finished it with a cute little robin from the Christmas Tweetings stamps & a sentiment.
SabinaFor today's challenge, I made a greeting card where I used precoloured digital stamp Put Your Boots On. I used an embossing pad to stamp spruces and stars on the white cardstock and then heat embossed it with white embossing powder. I colored the paper with Distress Oxide pads and added a sentiment. 
DonnaFor this weeks winter birthday card I used the Capricorn digital stamp which works perfectly with theZodiac Signs download. I also used a sheet of paper from the Adalene Paper Pack


Great projects, thanks so much to the whole team, we hope you are feeling inspired!

Wk 49 Card making & craft challenge - Anything Goes at Polkadoodles

It's time for a brand new card making & crafting challenge!...




THE WINNERS OF OUR LAST CHALLENGE ARE AT THE END OF THIS POST
----------------------


     
   

So let's get to today's inspiration...today the team were asked to create something for a Winter Wedding - let's see what the team made for us...


Kim For this week’s challenge, we were asked to create a stepper “winter wedding” card, so I made this beautiful center step card featuring the pre-colored Bride & Groom digital stamp from the Work & Play – Love & Kisses Collection. Paired with shimmery papers that I dry-embossed, paper flowers, and lots of clear glass bubbles, and I think this just might be my favorite card that I have ever made!
Nikky - I love our Blooms digi stamp collection and Bloom 4 was my first go-to for this challenge. I just printed out this digistamp in grey (adjust your printer settings) onto some nice white textured card and also printed a sentiment using a font on my computer. I just added some light grey card at the end of this slimline card blank and cut the digi in half so it was very subtle and elegant - perfect for a wedding invitation, easy and fast to make so perfect for the whole set of stationery and it costs next to nothing if you have a wedding coming up on a budget!
RachaelAwww a white winter wedding, how romantic!  For this card I used a Christmas gnome stamp set called meet me under the mistletoe as I thought they made the cutest pair!  I wanted a cream and soft colour theme so went for monochromatic colouring with lots of sparkle!  The flowers are from a different stamp set called poinsettia greetings, I just fussy cut around the pot leaving the blooms to decorate! 

Pam For my inspirational card today I've used Winnie Fairytale Dreamer and the Bridegroom images to make this elegant wedding step card.  After coloring the images with Copic markers, I fussy cut each of them out.  The step card was cut with coordinating blue cardstock and the front panel covered with digital paper from the Love & Kisses digital package. 


Merja - My studies are taking so much of my time at the moment so I went with a super simple style. I stamped some gift packages here and there using Curly Christmas Stamp Set. Then I added a sentiment from Birthday Celebrations Stamp Set and some acrylic diamonds. Really simple card, but I like it 😊
 

Nunzia: for my winter wedding card, the main characters are this cute couple in their wedding car. The patterned digi papers are from Love Romance paper bundle while the poinsettias are printed and fussed cut from Winnie Winterland digis. Sentiments on the steps are from Love Always-printable sentiments and the big one from Winnie celebrations 2.


Great projects, thanks so much to the whole team, we hope you are feeling inspired!
