Wk 4 Card making & craft challenge - Anything Goes creative challenge at Polkadoodles

 Time for a new card making & crafting challenge!...


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




Today we are saying a big warm hello and welcome to 3 great new DT members WendyJulie and Michelle!
We hope you'll all follow their social media, we're thrilled they have joined us!

So let's get to today's inspiration & see what the team made for us...



Wendy L - Using Microsoft Word, I printed the Together Always - Love Always printable image at 75% transparency to give the look of no-line coloring. I added a circle to create a moon around the bunnies faces to highlight them and positioned a sentiment from the "Love Always printable Sentiments big bundle in the moon. I colored everything with Copic Markers. If you're on Insta I'd love to follow you so tag me and follow me on Instagram here!

Julie - Hi everyone, I'm sharing my DT project for the Valentine's Challenge. For this card I've used the cute Too Cute Kitty Love digital stamp. Part of this challenge is to also use paper weaving in some way. For this I've used the Love Always Printable Papers 1 bundle cut into 1/4 inch strips and woven into a pattern as shown on the finished card. For the sentiment I've used the "Be My Valentine" from the Love Always Printable Sentiments bundle. I’ve added some white gel pen, and some flat sequins to finish off the card. I hope that my card inspires you to join in the challenge this month. I can’t wait to see what you all create!


Michelle - Hello Friends! I am happy to be back and creating for you! In this 6x6 Valentine Card, I created a woven background using patterned papers from the collection Love and Romance paperbundle. I then colored and added my Sweet Heart Balloons Honeypie image and layered her on the frame from the Love and Romance frames bundle. Lastly, I used the sentiment from Winnie Celebrations sentiments! I hope you enjoy! Michelle, The Craft Market SC

Ariadna - Hello crafty friends!! I'm happy to show you my new card for the lovely Polkadoodles!. This card is full of love with the beautiful "Lily bug big heart" digital stamp. For coloring I used my favorite color pencils, and for the background a little bit of ink with and I added some texture to the cardstock with some waving. Hope you like it!


Rachael - Have you seen this super cute owl from our latest Wings of Love release? Although I made him into a love card, he is perfect for any occasion. I added a bit of simple paper weaving using leftover off cuts of card - this is a great way to use up scraps!

Pam - Valentine cards are such fun and today's challenge added a weave. I've used True Love with the Heart Flourish Die in the background. My 'paper ribbon weaving' is down the left side using a solid and a sheet from the Fresh Twist paper pack. After Copic coloring the image and assembling the card front, I cut apart one of the sentiments from the Love Always Sentiment set and added the pieces in the weaving. Lastly I added the coordinating red organza bow. Happy Valentine Wishes to you!

Merja - On this cute little valentine's day tag I used Rose Bunny image and coloured it with alcohol markers. The background I did with paper weaving technique - I used papers from Toadally Cute paper pack and after weaving I cut it with Posydoodles Circles die. The text is stamped with Cutie Pie stamps.

Nunzia: for my love card I have coloured this cute love-you-bunches bunny and glued it on a heart made of woven strips of patterned papers taken from Love Always paper bundle. The sentiments are part of Lily bug love quotes bundle.

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 - make sure you share into our Facebook group here, we'd love to see you there!....share HERE!

Wk 3 Card making & craft challenge - Anything Goes creative challenge at Polkadoodles

 Time for a new card making & crafting challenge!...


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




Today we are saying a big warm hello and welcome to 2 wonderful new DT members
Sonja & Renske!  We hope you'll all follow their social media, we're thrilled they have joined us!

So let's get to today's inspiration & see what the team made for us...



Sonja - Hello! For quick Pancakes I found an easy recipe where you just need to add water so I decided to make this as a gift idea. I filled up a bottle with dry mixture and on the outside I decorated with Pancake Heaven - PRECOLOURED Miss Sugarpops the label is cut out with Posydoodles Basics - Rectangles dies with printed sentiment from Pancake Sentiments - Miss Sugarpops. The dots on the label on top are made with Polka Dot Mesh Craft Stencil - enjoy your Pancake craftings!
Renske - Hello everyone! My first DT project and I am really excited. For this project I made a flip flap card. I used the image Pancake Oopsy and a sentiment from the Pancake Sentiments set. I thought, "Flip!"it's your birthday!" was perfect for making a flip flap card. I put the word flip on the front of the card and you can see the rest of the sentiment when you flip the card. I colored the image using alcohol markers with colors that match the digital paper I used from the Paper Heaven 1 Lil Miss Sugerpops Kit 1 set. Happy Crafting!


Natalia - For today's challenge, I've prepared a simple art journal page with the collection Funky Flowers Stamps. The best one for me! As a background, I created pictures of lemons from mentioned stamps and stencils and colored them with Distress Ink and watercolor paint. I add also a sentence from Pancake Sentiments - Miss Sugarpops digi stamp. My work is full of sweet colors on the one side and black and white on the other side. Hope you like it.
Sarah - Can't find the exact image that you need? Why not mix it up a bit? I used the Baketime digi image for this card, but as I needed a pancake theme, I cut the cupcakes out and drew my own pancakes!! It's so much fun to tweak your images so that they're just right for what you need!

Enrica - Hello everyone! For my Pancake Day card I used the sweet 'Pancake heaven' digital stamp and one of the 'Pancake Sentiments' from the Miss Sugarpops collection And three different papers from Winnie Sunshine Delights 6"x 6" Paper Pack 2 and the Lily Bug Love Paper Heaven 2 bundle kit. I Colored with Copic and Distress Ink to soften the edges. Crafty hugs! xx
Sabina - This week I made a pancake themed card, starring Miss Sugarpops. She is coloured with alcohol markers. The sentiment is from Pancake heaven sentiments.
Donna - For this weeks’ card I printed 2 copies of thePancake Oopsy digital stamp, and an extra copy combined with a sentiment from the Pancake Heaven Sentiments. I used watercolour pencils to colour the images and then cut into 2 of them to create 3d layers for the third. I mounted the final piece onto coordinating card and added some gems for extra interest.

We are LOVING all this inspiration this week - lots of variations on the pancake theme which is such a fun idea! Big thanks to the team!

Wk 2 Card making & craft challenge - Anything Goes creative challenge at Polkadoodles

Time for a new card making & crafting challenge!...


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




Today we are saying a big warm hello and welcome to our wonderful new DT member
we hope you'll all follow her social media, we're thrilled for her to join us!

So let's get to today's inspiration & see what the team made for us...

Julie Schinkel  Hi everyone, I’m Julie from Brisbane Australia sharing my first ever DT project for Polkadoodles and the Birthday Challenge. For this project I have used the super sweet Winnie Celebrations 1 digital stamp which I’ve coloured with Copic markers. I’ve teamed this up with the Eden Collection - Paper Heaven 5 bundle and for the Happy Birthday sentiment I have used the Birthdays & Greetings Digital Sentiments Set. I’ve added some white gel pen, flat sequins and shimmer pen for some shine to finish off the card. I hope that my card inspires you to join in the challenge this month. I can’t wait to see what you all create!

 Pam ~ This week we're bringing Birthday cards to you with an additional color challenge. I've selected Gifts of Love - Sparkle Unicorn and used two patterned papers from the Birthday Wishes Craft Papers. I love this simple layout that really makes the images stand out.  For the final touch I added the Best Wishes charm and the coordinating magenta bow at the fold. 

Merja - On my card I used this cutie Pile of Gifts Theo Penguin image and coloured it with alcohol markers. The background I made with Birthday Balloon stencil, Distress Inks and red glitter paste. Text is stamped with Birthday Celebrations stamp set.

 Nunzia: this cute Celebration Winnie is perfect to wish the best winter birthday ever. I created a winter scene with alcohol markers and distress oxide inks behind her. I then made a frame with a pocket to insert a tag with a quote taken from Winnie sugar sprinkles sentiment-l and quotes bundleThe Christmas gift packages were printed and coloured directly on the patterned paper included in Just lovely honeypie.


Ariadna - Hello crafters and Happy New year!.  I'm back in 2023 with a new inspiration for our dearest @polkadoodles.   This month's challenge theme is January Birthday!.  For this card I decided to use the beautiful #digital Stamp Winnie Celebrations that I colored with my favorite color pencils.  For the background use a funny dye from my stash and a little bit of a shimmer paste over it.
Hope you like it and do not forget to visit the beautiful webpage of Polkadoodles!
Rachael - I love this period after Christmas when you can bring out the pinks and pastels ready for Spring.  This time I used a cute Winnie image from the springtime sugar sprinkles  to make this cute fresh card, with my favourite pattern - spots!

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

Today we are saying a big hello and welcome to our wonderful new DT member, Sonja Magnusson who is joining us for the first time with her lovely creations - we hope you'll all follow her social media, we're thrilled for her to join us!

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

Sonja Magnusson - Hi everyone! I'm so excited to have joined the Polkadoodles team and this is my first project! Saying Thank You can be so easy this quick card is simple and done in no time. For today's challenge I used the sweet Love Heart - Honeypie digital and positioned the text I got from Winnie Sunshine Delights Sentiments Bundle directly on the lovely paper which you find in this Work & Play 10 Collection - Paper Heaven 7 on top I used the Thankyou - Sentiment - Happy Crafting!
Sarah - Diamond Easel Cards are such a fun thing to create - I decorated mine with the BEAUTIFUL Spring surprise patterned papers and the largest butterfly from the Butterfly Trio dies.
ENRICA - Hi everyone! Hope your new year has started well! For my first project this year I've made a simple Z Fold Card using the super sweet Gnometastic Sunny downloads.  Patterned papers are from the Pretty Winnie Daisy papers And the sentiment is from the Winnie Sunshine Delights Sentiments Bundle.  Happy crafty new year!! x
Donna - For this weeks’ card I used the Winston Bear Sewing digital stamp and paper from the Adalene Paper Pack to create a simple iris fold behind a circle aperture. I used alcohol markers to colour the image to coordinate with paper pad and I doodled some faux stitching to add some interest.

Jacqueline here and today I'm going to share with you how to create a card you should always have in your stash. A get well soon card, for just in case! Polkadoodles recently began releasing a 'Stamp of the Month' which are amazing bargains at a ridiculously low price, and are often those stamps that you may not need every day, but are must haves for just when you need to create something special to show you care...
