Judy: It's all about cards for Father's Day this week! I have used 2 clear stamp sets to create my DT card. The focal image was stamped from the Cheers and Beers 4 x 4" Stamp SetI colored with Castle Arts Pencils and added some stickles. This piece was die cut and matted. I used the Greatest Guy 4 x 4" Stamp Set for the "Happy Father's Day" sentiment. The patterned paper used is from Cheers and Beers 6 x 6" Paper Pack3 enamel triangles were added to embellish.

Renske - I coloured this great digistamp from the Gnome for Men collection and made a shaker card. I fussy cut the little beer glasses from the paper.

Natalia - Hello everyone, Special day for our fathers is just around the corner. I prepared a card for a traveling dad who loves spending time in seaside resorts. It's a simple, interactive card. When you open it a window with the inscription Bon voyage is revealed. I used Distress inks for the background and ready-made digi stamps from the collection - Winnie Starfish/Sandcastles Craft Printables, ad lots of layers to make waves and dunes. It was great fun with this card!


Enrica - Hello crafty friends! I colored a lot for my Father’s Day themed card this week! I’ve combined the super cute Retire & Snooze Gnome For Men (digital stamp and message) with the Country Road Scene background. I might get boring, but I really enjoy creating scenes with these amazing backgrounds! 

Sabina - Hello everyone. It's BBQ time. I made a simple, quick and fun card using pre-colored BBQ, Chef, Cook digi stamp. I cut out a few rectangles with Big shot, from beautiful Gnome Men Dad/Father digi papers and added sentiment from Gnome Men greetings, quotes and sentiments bundle.

Sonja Fathers day - what a special day I used this very cool Lawn Mower COLOUR Gnome For Men Bundle which has the cute gnome papers and Sentiments included. I came up with a card for voucher cards. I hope you like it.

Bea - Happy Father's Day!!! For my project today I have used the super cute image Superhero because all dads are :) This beautiful image comes with matching papers, and sentiments too, which I used for my project. Come visit me over here...

Wk 20 - Card making & craft challenge - Anything Goes creative craft challenge at Polkadoodles

 Welcome to a new card making & craft challenge!

Let's see the inspiration from the team - today we've been creating lots of lovely Mermaid and beachy inspiration for you!...


Merja - Hello! Today I created this mermaid card using the lovely 

Winnie Mermaid Mermazing - best friends digital stamp download and the Heavenly circles stencil which is one of my favourites! 


Pam ~ For my Mermaid/Ocean card I've combined two images ~ Winnie Mermaid - Mermazing Kisses and Winnie Starfish/ Sandcastles - Seahorse. I've colored them with Copic markers and made a slimline shaker card for the background. The shaker was made using the cellophane bag method with green iridescent confetti glitter as the filler. Once secured to the base with the open lattice frame, I then added the completed image to the center of the card.


Nunzia: for my card of today I created a island scene for this cute Miss Mermaid coloured with alcohol markers. I printed a couple of Tropical Palm Trees and coloured the sand around them. Under the beach I gave a wave shape to a piece of Pretty Winnie daisy-papers and added some sparkling. Also the card base is decorated with a sheet included in the same bundle. The sentiment is part of Winnie Mermazing quotes.


Wendy - Who's ready for summer? I know I am! This cutie is living my summer dream - lounging in the sun with not a care in the world. If only, right? She's part of the VIPXXL EDITION Winnie Starfish/Sandcastles Craft Printables collection. The little crab is one of many awesome digis that come with this package so you can add extra characters and elements to your scenes. I can't wait to color the rest of these adorable characters and build scenes for them to play in. Thank you for looking!


Rachael - Hi everyone, Rachael here again with this week's challenge inspiration. I did something this week, way out of my comfort zone, I coloured a whole scene with copics. This image is called Breaktime and I have expanded it to fill a whole 6x6 card, and coloured the background too. There are loads of new scenes released recently if this is something you love to do! check them all out!



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 19 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...


Judy: My DT card was created with a "wings" theme using butterfly stamps from Hearts and Flowers Butterfly Stamp 2 and Hearts and Flowers Butterfly Stamp 1. I stamped the butterflies and colored with sparkle pens before fussy cutting. The flowers from stamp 1 were colored with pencils and fussy cut.  The background was stenciled using the Blossoming Rose 6 x 6" Craft StencilThe flowers and large butterfly were adhered to a layered die cut circle. I stamped the sentiment from the Birthday Celebrations 4 x 8" Clear Stamp Set. Ribbon was added behind and to the side of the die cut circle to complete my design


Natalia  - For today's inspiration, I have a simple card with one of the lovely ladybirds from the newly reborn collection - the Lilybug ladybird. All digistamps were printed, cut out, and colored with water markers. I left the background white, and from the stamps, I arranged compositions with a lovely ladybug - Daisy Lily Ladybug in the foreground.

Enrica - Hello everyone! For my wings themed card this week I used the sweet Love Bird Heart Bunting Valentine combined with the new Garden River Country Scene background coloured with Copic, sentiment is from the Winnie Sunshine Delights Sentiments Bundle These sweet little birds are so versatile... perfect for any occasion, not just Valentine's Day!

SabinaHello everyone. This week we would like to see things with wings. I used this adorable Love Bird Balloons Valentine image, coloured with alcohol markers and cut it out with a rectangular die. The sentiment is part of Love Birds Greetings Valentine sentiments.

Bea - For my project today I have worked with the cute Dragon Onesie Little Dude digital stamp, the sentiment comes with it. For background I used some inks from my stash with some Distress Inks. It was so much fun creating this card, you can find out more about it over here...

Sonja - Anything with wings - Octavia Moonfly Rose Garden just popped at me and I had to use this beautiful girl together with the absolute georgeous paper from Winnie Wonderland Paper Heaven 5 with the sentiment from Spring Gnome fun puns, quotes and sentiments. I just love it.

Renske - Hello everyone! We were challenged to make a card with the theme "things with wings. I saw this lovely digital stamp "Bluebird with Letter". It is so cute, so I decided to make my project with it. I coloured the image with my alcohol markers. Before I start a project, I decide which design paper to work with. This way, I can decide the colours for my digital stamp. For this card, I went to work with the digital paper " Love always Printable papers 1". Therefore, I decided to colour my digital stamp with the colours old pink. For my sentiment, I used the digital stamp "Just a little note". To finish the card, I punched some hearts from the digital pattern paper I had left over. Hope you like it. Happy crafting!
