Let's see the inspiration from the team...

Pam ~ This week we have been working on Men and Boys card to inspire you. I've selected 'Superhero' from the Little Dudes Collection along with the star digi paper for my project card. After Copic coloring and hand cutting him out, I wanted to ground him on something. My search led me to the steps in the Magic Garden Soup set. They worked perfect with this little fellow and the preprinted sentiment which is also from Polkadoodles.





Merja - I wanted to create a simple black/white card. I used the whiskey glass from Ready To Stumble stamp set and coloured it with alcohol markers. To the background I just added some dots with Snowball, Snowflake, Bubble Dots stencil and black Distress Ink.






Nunzia: my card today is dedicated to a man or a boy. I printed twice the truck digi and created a street scene jagging some pieces of Happy cactus paper patterns 1 to reproduce the grass and blending the sky with distress oxide inks. The sentiments on car doors and on the grass are from Wings of love sentiments.







Wendy L Hi everyone! I'm playing with the Fishing Gnome for Men bundle. What fisherman doesn't love getting up at the crack of dawn to nap all day in their lounge chair? Everything in my card is available in this mini bundle, including that cute little fish watching the gnome sleep. I colored it all with my copic markers. Thank you for looking!






Rachael - I know fathers day isn't until June, but it's a perfect opportunity to use this gnome on his motorcycle. Men's cards can often be hard to make but this fantastic range of gnomes has something for every man in your life.



        



Michelle - Ahoy Mates! Here is a fun, boy birthday card to create for your favorite little pirate! I started by using the Little Dudes Pre-coloured pirate! He is too cute! I added my patterned papers from the Happy Cactus Succulent printable patterns 2 and layered my “Happy Birthday” sentiment from the Winnie Daisy greetings set.
I hope you enjoy! Happy Crafting!

The background patterned paper is from Dahlia Flower 2 Download. I die cut the sentiment. The Dahlia Flower 1 and Dahlia Flower 2 are two of the Digi Deals which are great small bundles that contain all you need to create great projects.


Natalia Kuzak - Hello, We are about Mothers Day tomorrow , so I created a simply card with the Rebel Cool Girl and a lots of hearts. The background coloured with Disteres Ink but girl coloured with pencils. Lets spread love at this Day!

ENRICA - For this week’s challenge, the Design Team was asked to create a project for Mother's Day and I decided for a cute tag. I coloured up the Honeypie Sweet Flower Bouquet digi coloured with Copics. I layered up some digi papers from the Winnie Sunshine Delights Paper Pack 1 and Dahlia Flower 2, and added some beautiful flowers from the Flowers and Foliage - Winnie Special Moments set. Crafty hugs! xx


Sabina - Hello everyone. For today's challenge I am sharing my Mother's Day project using pre - coloured Tulip, The Darling Buds digital stamp. I cut her with an oval die, added some patterned paper and sentiment.

Renske - Hello everyone. This is my inspiration card with the Mother's Day theme. I designed the card on the computer. That's the beauty of digital products. I used the digital paper from the set "love always papers one", and combined that with the digital stamp "Love You Mum Banner". I placed the sentiment from the set "Mother's Day Messages and Sentiments" in the left hand corner. I printed the digital stamp several times because I wanted to make it in 3D, so you can make multiple layers that way. Hope you like it. Happy Crafting!

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

So let's get to today's inspiration & see what the team made for us, this week it's all about Thank You...


Pam- Today's Design Team challenge was to make a Thank You card. I selected Polkadoodles, Chripy Chirpy Cheep Cheep Spring Easter printable, then selected the three chicks. The sentiments are from Winnie Celebrations 3 and from Winnie Daisy Greetings. After Copic coloring the image and die cutting the sentiments, I secured the image to the front of the cream colored card base. Each of the sentiment are matted with a solid brown cardstock then added to the card. Lastly I added the brown twine to complete the design.

Merja - On my card I used this super cute 3 Little Bunny Rabbits image and sentiment from Winnie Daisy Greetings, Quotes and Sentiments bundle. I used a text editor program to create a CAS card and actually accidentally added those dark green shadows. But I liked them so I let them stay 😃 Then I printed the card and coloured the bunnies with alcohol markers and white gel pen.

Nunzia: when you want to thank someone what is better than flowers? So I decided to use a branch of Blooms-2-daffodil bundle printed twice and layer the bouquet. The papers come from the same bundle while the sentiment is one of Winnie Daisy Message.


Rachael - You can never have too many thank you cards in your stash, ready for when someone does something you are truly grateful for. This one uses one of the latest daily deals - the gorgeous Bella bear. Coloured using alcohol markers and papers from a different daily deal (Bob in a boat)...

Michelle - Hello Friends! I am excited to share a quick "thank you" card I created using the most adorable colored Sunshine Delight Happy Days. The patterned paper set I used for layering is the Happy Cactus Succulent patterns 1. And the “thank you” sentiment is from Winnie Daisy greetings. I hope you enjoy! Happy Crafting!


Wendy - Hi everyone! I just love Winnie! She's so much fun to color and I love making little scenes to put her in. This week, I'm playing with Winnie Sugar Sprinkles Springtime - Just For You, and I drew a simple picket fence with rolling hills and sunset sky. This is a single layer card and everything was colored with Copic markers. Can you tell that I'm really ready for spring? Thank you for looking!

Ariadna - Hello everyone! Today I come with a new card inspiration for the lovely Polkadoodles using the super cute a new digital stamp Sox the fox.This week the theme challenge is Thank you and Sox if perfect to say thank you to someone who love or a very good friend!.
To coloured Sox I used my favourite colour pencils and then a made a soft background with inks and stencil. Hope do you like it and do not forget to visit Polkadoodles webpage!

Julie - Hi everyone, it's Julie back today sharing my DT project for the Polkadoodles Thank You Card Challenge using the cute Helga Hippo Sitting Pretty digital stamp and Thank You Sentiment digital stamp. For the background layers I've used the Eden Collection - Paper Heaven 5 bundle. I've coloured the image to match with the digital papers using Copic markers. I hope that my card inspires you to join in the challenge this month. I can’t wait to see what you all create!

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 -

Judy: This week's DT card is "Spring Animal" themed. I have used 3 digis from Cute Chicks Spring Easter Bundle. I colored the digis with Prismacolor Pencils and fussy cut. The background patterned paper is from Spring Gnomes Printable Papers. I hand cut the hills behind the chicks and inked. The sentiment is from Easter Greetings, Quotes and Sentiments.



Sarah - How cute are these bunnies?! I wanted 3 different ones for this fun card, so I used 2 coordinating stamp sets - Hoppy Birthday and Spring Showers. I also used the Spring Borders stencil to create a quick and easy background.



Enrica - Hi everyone! For my card this week I used the sweet Bunny Rabbit with Roses flowers digi stamp and coloured with Copic markers, together with a few pre-coloured bees from the Winnie Sunshine Delights Embellishments Bundle. The Patterned paper I used is from Pretty Winnie Daisy papers. Happy spring!


Sabina - Hello crafty friends! I made a spring card for this challenge. I used this adorable Bunny Rabbit with Bunch of Flowers and coloured it with alcohol markers. I made the background using a stencil and distress pads.



Sonja - Hi all I'm ready for spring, what about you? For todays challenge I stumbled over
those two bunnies from Special Wishes. They are just too cute. The papers I have used are form the Gnome Men Gardening paper set and the saying is from Spring Gnome fun puns, quotes and sentiments. Hope you enjoy the card. Happy crafting!




Renske - Hello everyone! Spring is coming. I love this season. For this challenge I got to work with this cute digital stamp "Its Spring" I coloured the image with my alcohol markers. For the background I used the pattern paper with the clouds on it from the set "Pretty spring papers". Hope you like it and happy crafting!

Natalia - Hello everyone, Calendar spring is coming soon. I would like to greet it with three funny cards with a cute owl - Love Bird Owl Heart (precoloured) Valentine. They are small 10 x 10 cm and each of them has a window with a pop-up owl... on the side or top or maybe in front. I made the background with Distress Ink, and on the front of each card, I used different Polkadoodle stencils: Funky Vortex Grid stencil, Graduated Stripe Craft Stencil, and Polka Dot Mesh Craft Stencil. So I invite spring, let it finally knock on our door.
