Let's see the inspiration from the team - we've been creating lots of gorgeous projects for you... 


Judy: The design team was asked to create an October birthday card for this week's challenge. So, I thought one of the images from the Zodiac Collection would be perfect!
I, myself, have an October birthday and I'm a Libra, so I used Libra Digital StampMy background was done with inking and the Starry Nights StencilThe sentiment was printed from the Birthday Sentiments & GreetingsI fussy cut before adding to the card. 3 pearls were added to complete my design. I hope you like it!

Renske - Hello everyone! This time, we were asked to make an October birthday card. I used the adorable Cupcake Autumn Fall Foxdigital stamp, which truly captures the spirit of fall. I combined this charming image with elements from the Nuts About You clear stamp set and the Fall Greetings sentiment set for a delightful finishing touch. I created a fall wreath from the leaves, mushrooms, and an acorn, perfect for a birthday celebration in autumn. I hope this card inspires you to get creative with these products and join the fun! Happy Crafting

ENRICA - Hi everyone! For my birthday project this week I’ve made a simple shaker card using the super cute Flower Fairy holding a toadstool balloon - Winnie Daisy Fairy digital stamp, colored with Copic, and just added a sentiment from the Winnie Daisy greetings, quotes and sentiments set. Such a cutie doesn’t need to add more, don’t you think so?

Christine- Hi everyone, I have made a birthday card using this lovely Cherry Cream Cupcake that I colored with my copic markers. This is the perfect stamp for birthdays all year around. The pattern paper is from the Pretty Winnie Daisy digital paper collection. These papers are so soft, pretty and versatile as backgrounds for cards. My IG: CKN Design_craft
Copic Colors I used are:
Ising: R85-83-81, RV000
Cherry: R59.38,29,24,20 and white gel pen
Cupcake: E37-35-33-31
Wrapper: G99, YG67-63-03

Irre - Hello, for this challenge I created a tag with the digital stamp Milkshake drink Rebel. Of course, I colored her with Copic alcohol markers like I always do. For the tag, I covered it with one of the papers from the digital pack Winnie Starfish/sandcastles paper 8. Then, I used different stamps, a stencil with modeling paste and embossing powder, and art stones that I colored with watercolors. I added a net behind Rebel, added a pink ribbon, and used one of the sentiments from Rebel snip messages strips pack. After that, I added my stamp to the tag with a net underneath it. I also decorated the tag with some art stones that I colored with watercolors. Finally, I added a pink ribbon to the tag. Have a crafty day! My Instagram: @scrapbyirre

Let's see the inspiration from the team - we've been creating lots of gorgeous projects for you... 


Julie Nagle - Today’s design team project is a festive holiday card featuring a coffee mug with a hidden pocket - perfect for tucking in a gift card. The card starts with a free Polkadoodles mug template. I added a beautiful pre colored image Winnie White Christmas - Shopping to the front of the coffee cup (which doubles as a gift card holder). A holiday sentiment adds Christmas cheer to the coffee cup. 2 printable holiday papers and a glimpse of a popular Christmas carol complete the background. Seasonal foliage was the perfect embellishment for this card front. All of the products used were included in the Winnie White Christmas Printable Collection. How excited will the card recipient be when they find a coffee shop gift card in the mug? If you want to know more, follow my Instagram & Facebook.

Wendy - Hi everyone! Who's ready for Christmas projects? I've recently discovered Memorydex cards and it's been so much fun creating them. These types of cards are on the smaller side, and the precolored images that Polkadoodles offers are so much easier than trying to color tiny places. I used the Time To Give - coloured image from the Winnie White Christmas Big Kahuna Bundle. I used some of the beautiful papers to create the Memorydex envelope base, the pre-colored image to add a card to the inside of the envelope and one of the adorable toppers to create a magnetic envelope seal.
Merja - I got an idea of a Christmas tea cup card/gift combination. I used the background paper, cute penguin and sentiment from Winnie White Christmas big kahuna and a cup from Cactus Cup (I just cut the cactus part away). I coloured the cup with Distress Inks and a metallic gold brush pen. The penguin is precoloured but I added a little more colour to it with alcohol markers. The sentiment part is also coloured with Distress Inks and then taped over a tea bag. After everything was coloured I taped the cup to the background so that the tea bag fits there perfectly and comes out when you pull the tea bag string upwards. Great card/little gift for a tea lover 😊

Rachael - Hi everyone. I wanted to make a card that looks really complicated but is actually simple and easy to make, especially for mass production. There are loads of shaped and interactive dies out there, so why not use them with one of our kits such as this one called Winnie White Christmas. These have all the coloured images, and backing papers meaning you don't have to worry about colouring or matching the colours. Print, cut and stick, for the most stunning card that looks like it took hours to make!

Let's see the inspiration from the team - we've been creating lots of gorgeous projects for you... we asked the team to make a 'closure" this week to give you lots of ideas...


Renske - Hello everyone. This time I started working with Mail letter post cute Helga Hippo. She's so cute. I wanted to make the theme of the card a post theme. So I made an envelope fold card. Place the triangle flap behind Helga Hippo to close the card. I coloured Helga Hippo with my alcohol markers. For the design paper, I used the sets of Pretty Printable papers 1 Helga Hippo and Paper Heaven 1 Horace and Boo. For the background, I cut patterned paper with a large stamp die. I also die-cut out some envelopes from the patterned paper. To complete it I used the digital stamp Just a note to say Hi. I edited this with the distress ink antique linen. And to finish this off, the text from the Winnie and Daisy sentiment set is the word HI on the inside of the card.

ENRICA - Hi everyone! This week the DT was asked to make a card with a closure of some kind and for my project I used one of my favorite digital images, the super cute Mailing letters - Noodle Panda Bear colored with Copic. I’ve creating my own background coloring and creating bamboo and if you want to learn how to do it don’t miss to follow the tutorial on Polkadoodles Crafts channel on YouTube. Digital patterned papers are from the Spring Tons of Love paper patterns 1. Love how this cute card turned out, hope you like it too! xx


Christine - Hi everyone, Today I`m sharing a card with one of my favourite collections, Serenity. I used Serenity Fairy resting digital stamp and the sentiment is from the Serenity Fairy wishes bundle. This week we were challenged to create a card with some kind of closure, and I used a button and some string to wrap around it to keep the card closed. I love how this card turned out, and hope you got some inspiration.

I colored this beautiful fairy with my Copic markers and here are the colors I used:

Irre - I created this journal cover using this cute Winnie Daisy Fairy printable stamp. I love using digistamps with mixed media techniques, a lot of people have a hang up about not being able to use printables but they are very versatile, you just need to learn how to use them well!


Judy: Hi there! The DT was asked to create cards for this week's challenge with some kind of closure.I opted to make a gate fold card with a belly band to hold it closed.The patterned papers used are from Noodle Panda Set 1 Printable Paper.The focal image used is the digital stamp,Out and About Honey Pie.I colored with Prismacolor Pencils and fussy cut before adding to a die cut scalloped circle attached to the belly band. The sentiments on the front and inside of the card are from Winnie Daisy Fairy Everyday Greetings and Quotes.

Let's see the inspiration from the team - we've been creating lots of gorgeous projects for you... 



Janelle - Hello crafty friends! Here's a pop-up celebrating Halloween using Boo Halloween characters 💖☠️💜🎃🩵👻🖤 For more inspiration check out my IG page @janelle.paper.sparkles

Copic colors used: 
Mummy/Skull: W00, 0,2
Skin: E11, 13
Hair: E23, 25, 27
Monster B01, 02, 04
Skin: E11, 13, 15

Pumpkins: YR00, 01, 02
Skin: E11, 21, 23
Hair: E13, 15,

Merja - This time I created these cute Halloween decorations (or they can also be used as a gift tag). I printed the center pieces from Halloween Trick or Treat Word Art and cut them with Posydoodles Circles die. I also printed a couple papers from Halloween Trick or Treat papers bundle 1 and used the rosette technique on them. The center pieces are glued with a hot glue so that they really stay in place. Lastly I added satin ribbons so you can hang them where you want. These were fun and quite easy to do when you got familiar with the technique 😊


RACHAEL - I love creating these rosettes - Halloween is always the perfect time for them! I used this cute Witch Cauldron Halloween Gnome digital stamp and added colour-co-ordinated papers and some mesh. To make the rosettes I just added paper straws so they're sticks - great for parties or to give away as a different Trick or Treat to all that candy!



Julie Nagle - Our challenge this time for the design team was to create something for a Halloween Party - and no Halloween Party would be complete without candy, right?! So I knew I had to make a party favor of some type that could be filled with Spook-tacular treats! My project focused on Ghastly Ghosts because they are just so darn cute and I knew they would be super fun to create with. They also paired perfectly with Halloween Trick or Treat Printable Papers! The party favors are easily constructed and instructions are included on my blog. The adorable little images were colored using Copic Markers, and the sentiments were included in the Ghastly Ghost download.These playful little treats are perfect for your Halloween party or for delighting trick-or-treaters. Follow me on Instagram or Facebook

Wendy L - I made this trio of tags using the Spellbinding Witches printable stamps - aren't they just gorgeous?!! As always i coloured with my Copics but I forgot to note down the color combo for you this week - I particularly love the one on the left with the reds and purples!


Beautiful Autumn inspiration! WOW!
