Judy: My Mother's Day card is a really simple design using this Lucy Monkman Christmas Fun Banner. I printed the digi on white card stock and colored with Castle Arts Pencils. The card was trimmed to 4 3/4 x 6 1/4 inches to layer over my 5 x 6 1/2 inch pink card base. I added a strip of patterned paper from the Toadally Cute Paper Pack 6 x 6. I stamped the sentiment and added 2 glitter dots.

Natalia - Hi Everyone! Again our topic challenge is Mother's Day. I'm popping here with a very easy and quick card. Believe me! It's very quick! I made it in 5 min. All components are based on digistamp. I created the background using a beautiful pict of Butterfly Flowerpots with the sentence I love you from Love Birds Greetings Valentine, plus one more digi paper - the pink one with white dots from Love Birds Valentine - Wings of Love cute. Additionally, I printed and cut out a super cute puppy from the Lucy Monkman collection - here. I also added some doodles, pink dots, and a pink bow. That's it! My card is ready :)

ENRICA Hello everyone!  For this week’s challenge the Design Team was asked to create a project for Mother's Day using a Lucy Monkman digi. For my card I've colored the sweet Cute girl with flowers and bow/angel with Copic markers. I layered up some digital papers from different sets Mod the cat, Watercolour Flower Stem, Gnome Men Cool Ice Cream Beach and added a sentiment from the Winnie Sugar Sprinkles Sentiment/Quotes BundleCrafty hugs! xx

Sabina - This week we want to see Mother's Day products. I made a greeting card in a green and pink combination. I embossed the green printed paper and combined it with the paper from the Happy Cactus Succulent printable paper patterns 2 set. I cut out the Cute girl with flowers and bow/angel digital stamp with a rectangle die with stitches and shaded it with a green pad. The sentiment is from Winnie Daisy greetings, quotes and sentiments.

Bea - Happy Mother's Day!!!! For my project today I decided to make a very simple card. I used the Cute Chickens stamp (I call my kids my chicks and that's why this image for the chicks following the momma). My beautiful spring polkadot paper is from the Watercolor Flower Stem Printable Set. When you open the card you find a sentiment from the Mother's Day Messages and Sentiments. I inked the sides of my image and papers with Distress Oxide. To see the full card visit me over here...

Sonja - My Mothers day card is using the Christmas Fun Banner monkman - funny but this works out very well in my opinion. I coloured with tri-blends using light colors the sentiment is from Mother's Day Messages and Sentiments. I kept the card very simple - hope you enjoy!

Renske - Hello everyone! This time I made a Mother's Day card with this adorable Lucy Monkman image Cute girl with flowers and bow/angel. I colored her with my alcohol markers and fussy cut her out. For the pattern paper, I used a digital paper from the set "the Pretty Winnie Daisy Papers". I wanted to make the pattern paper a little more interesting, so I used ribbon and some pearls. To finish the card, I used the sentiment "Happy Mother's Day" from the set "Mother's Day Messages and Sentiments". Hope you like it. Happy Crafting!

Ariadna - Hi crafters! Today a new inspiration card for the lovely Polkadoodles using the super cute " Bob in a boat" digitalstamp. I colored Bob with my color pencil and I made a simple background using some watercolors and the Waves stencil. Additionally I uses a die cut frame. Hope do you like it!

Wk 16 Card making & craft challenge - Anything Goes creative craft challenge at Polkadoodles

Welcome to a new card making & craft challenge!

The winners of our last challenge are at the bottom of this post!

Today our new challenge starts and we are bringing you lots of inspiration...

Challenge theme:
ANYTHING GOES
Enter the challenge competition following the instructions at the end of this post and you could win a prize - we make it random so everyone has a chance to win whether you're a beginner or not!

1. Enter anything you wish if it's handmade by you.
2. All the challenge details and how to enter are below!
3. THE WINNERS of our last challenge are at the end of this post.

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


Merja - I wanted to create something super adorable and colourful for a little girl. So I decided to use Sparkle Unicorn products. The background paper is from Rainbow Paper bundle and balloons and other stuff from Accessories bundle. The unicorns are precoloured Gift of Love and Cheer images. Even though I love colouring, it was fun to do something that didn't include any of it 😊


Nunzia: my project of today is both a card and a home decor. I cut out a shape of a flag from a sheet included in Pretty Winnie daisy paper bundle and glued a few straw pieces in the center. I glued my precolored Scruff the dog gardening onto them and added the sentiment as little arrows. The sentiment is part of Winnie daisy greetings, quotes and sentiments bundle.


Pam: I'll have to admit this is the first Design Team card I've ever made using a precoloured image. I selected Hooray- Sparkle Unicorn and added papers from Polkadoodles Birthday Fun Paper pack. I love the bright colors and the soft lavender organza bow of this design. It's always fun to meet a challenge that pushes us out of our comfort zone.



Wendy - For today's challenge, I really wanted to try playing with one of the Design sheets, and I'm so glad that I did.  This card came together so quickly and easily!  I just printed and cut out the elements from this adorable Helga Hippo - Design Sheet 14 Duo, and played with different arrangements.  There are so many elements in this one download that I made 3 separate cards.  If you're in a time crunch, this is the way to go for quick and stunning cards.  I just LOVE how this turned out!  Thank you for looking.


Rachael - Hi everyone! The challenge today is to use a precoloured image - which is a great option to make a super quick card or fab if you get caught last minute and forgot about someone! I used this cute 3 Little Bunnies digi stamp and just added a die cut sentiment to match, such an easy card to make! 

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!

Wk 15 Card making & craft challenge - Anything Goes creative craft challenge at Polkadoodles

Welcome to a new card making & craft challenge!

The winners of our last challenge are at the bottom of this post!

Today our new challenge starts and we are bringing you lots of inspiration...

Challenge theme:
Interactive Cards
Enter the challenge competition following the instructions at the end of this post and you could win a prize - we make it random so everyone has a chance to win whether you're a beginner or not!

1. Enter anything you wish if it's handmade by you.
2. All the challenge details and how to enter are below!
3. THE WINNERS of our last challenge are at the end of this post.

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


Judy: The DT was asked to create an interactive card for this week's challenge.
I chose to make an explosion box card. The outside is decorated with
colored florals and papers from Lilac Haze Watercolored Flowers Printable Download.
I wanted a little height on the box lid so I created a rosette to go beneath
the flowers, which I layered with foam tape. The papers on the inside of my box are the same as the outside. I formed another rosette and stood Winnie from Surprise Gift Colored Digi from Winnie Celebrations 2 on top. 3 punched butterflies with pearl embellishment were added.
The sentiments used on the outside and inside are from the Rose Budd Download Collection.
A "Happy Birthday" die cut was added to circle the sentiment inside.



ENRICA - Hello everyone, happy Saturday! For my interactive cards this week I used precoloured digis and digital papers from two of the bundles available in the DIGI DEALS section Mr Sox the Fox and Bob the Dog in a Boat. I'm in love with these bundles, it's so quick and easy to create cute cards with the pre-colored stamp and matching papers!
Crafty hugs xx


Sabina - New challenge here at Polkadoodles. We would like to see interactive cards. I've used a magic iris die and Watering can with flowers spring garden digi stamp, coloured with alcohol markers. I combined the digi stamp with Happy Cactus Succulent printable paper patterns 1 digi papers.



Bea - For my project today I have made a shutter card that closes with a magnet 😍. I used the gorgeous paper of the Watercolour Flower Stem Set the flowers on the corner of the card, are also form this set, I printed the paper and just fuzzy cut around the flowers I wanted to use, then I inked the edges with Dusty Concord Distress Oxide Ink. The cute pup is the Scruff Dog with Heart Cookies Digital Stamp. When you open the card you'll find paper from the Lilac Haze Watercoloured Flowers Set and the sentiment is from the Rebel with Attitude Easy snip message strips You can see this card in full motion, if you visit me here


Sonja - today's theme is an interactive card so I decided to have the little bunny Bunny Rabbit with Bunch of Flowers show his flowers and a cute sign by the time you open the card. The sentiment 'You're some-bunny very special to me' will make every mom smile I hope. The bees were just fitting so good, I had to use them. And the clouds are from the Pretty Spring papers.


Renske - As a design team, we were tasked with creating an interactive card. For this, I use the digital stamp, Serenity Moondust. When I saw this stamp, I immediately got the idea to make a spinner card. I made a galaxy background so she can spin in space. I coloured her in with my alcohol markers. As a sentiment, I used one from the Serenity Fairy Wishes Sentiments set. I hope you like the card again. Happy crafting!

Sarah - These flowers are some of my favourite Polkadoodles stamps! I combined them with the Moroccan screen stencil to create this centre easel card. I carried the bottom of the stamp down onto the base of the easel for an infinity look that gives that extra wow factor. To finish off the card I used the Happy Birthday sentiment from Birthday Celebrations stamp set.


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!

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

Wendy - Hi everyone! It's time for Easter cards! When I saw Winnie in her adorable bunny costume, the first thing I thought of was the pink bunny outfit that Ralphie got for Christmas in A Christmas Story. I know it's the wrong holiday, but it made me giggle, so I had to recreate it for this card. This digi is Easter Bunny Ears from the Winnie Sugar Sprinkles Springtime line. I colored this card with my Copic markers and drew a springtime view from Winnie's window. Thank you for looking!



Rachael - To celebrate spring and Easter I made this cute little chick card from one of the new releases. He is called egg-citied chick, even his name is super cute! the background is stencilled with some detail from a stamp. finished with some scraps of paper and the sentiment also from the new release. I hope I get that many chocolate eggs!


Ariadna - Hello everyone!, I came today with a new card inspiration for our dearest @polkadoodles . Easter time is coming and I was inspired with the new digital stamps little bunnies, to do this eastern card!. To colour these lovely bunnies I left my colour pencils and this time I decided to use watercolours for these beautiful friends!. For background I just add a little bit of colour using some inks and a stencil. Hope you like it!


Merja - On my card I used this super adorable Butterfly Chick image, paper from Spring into Easter Papers 2 set and sentiment from Spring into Easter Messages set. I designed the layout with a text editor program, printed it and coloured the image with alcohol markers. Sometimes less is more (or most of the time on my cards 😄).


Nunzia: For Easter I wish a sunny and bright day, so I colored this cute Bunny Rabbit and in her blank card I introduced the Easter Wishes sentiment taken from Winnie sugar Sprinkles sentiment bundle. The background is made up of a printed patterned paper included in Happy cactus succulent 1 digital papers while the sky is blended with distress oxide inks. 


Pam - For my Easter card, I've used Happy Easter Gnome in a slimline card, I've colored him with bright and bold Copic colors and added stenciled clouds in the background. After die cutting the edges and mounting on a coordinating blue mat, I added the 'Egghunt' embellishment, several metallic brad eggs and a lime green organza bow. What a fun Easter Card!
