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

Adam - Hi everyone - happy to be here! Nothing like a super scary (not) Halloween card for those on your card list. This character is set in a wooded scene along with his bat made with a compilation of several products from Polkadoodles.

ENRICA - Hi everyone! For my birthday project this week I’ve made a 3D ornament using the sweet Winnie Pile of Surprise Gifts digital stamp, colored with Copic and using only orange, purple and grey shades. Sentiments are from the Everyday greetings and quotes - Winnie Daisy Fairy printable digital stamps and Twiggy & Toots Journaling Heaven bundle - Digital Craft Download. I’ve added a few stars I’ve made a long ago with polymer clay. Happy birthday to all of you who celebrate in November! xx

IRRE - Hello, sharing a birthday card for the challenge today with the digital stamp Birthday balloon from Winnie Celebrations 1. I colored the stamp with Copic alcohol markers.
The background I created with acrylic paints, modeling paste and a stencil. I decorated the card with flowers that I made a tutorial for in my blog. Check it out there. I also added a sentiment from the Winnie celebrations kit 3 sentiments to the card.

Revati - Hello crafty friends, here's cute and adorable little Winnie wishing best wishes on your birthday. I used the Winnie Daisy Flower Fairy Digi Stamp as the main focal point for my card and colored her using my Spectrum Noir Tri Color Markers. For my sentiment, I used the Winnie Daisy Fairy Everyday Greetings and Quotes and printed the "Hugs, Kisses and Birthday Wishes" sentiment which our thought matched perfectly with our little Winnie. For my card, I wanted a little color and pattern. I used the Winnie Daisy Fairy Paper Patterns 1, which has a fun variety of patterned designs perfect to create beautiful card backgrounds.

Judy: My November birthday card was created with Leaves Autumn Fall Fox. I colored the digi with Prismacolor Pencils and fussy cut. The birdhouse was printed from the Ephemera Autumn Fall Fox Printables. It was fussy cut before adding to the card. The plaid patterned paper was printed from the Snow Day Gingerbread Cookie Christmas Printables. I stamped the sentiment with one of the stamps from the Birthday Celebrations 4 x 8" Clear Stamp Set.

Renske - I had so much fun creating this November birthday card using the Hot Chocolate Cup Macaron Coffee Autumn Fall Foxdigital stamp, paired with two beautiful papers from the Autumn Fall Paper Patterns 2 collection. The cosy little fox, sitting in his cup of hot chocolate, was coloured with vibrant autumn shades, while I used layers of rich brown cardstock and patterned papers to bring the card to life. I added a playful touch with the sentiment 'Happy Birthday You Foxy Thing' from the Autumn Fall Greetings set, cutting it into sections to fit perfectly around the image. I hope you like it! Happy Crafting!

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


Today we're thrilled to welcome Taty, Carrianne, Becky and Bea to the design team - we look forward to sharing all their amazing projects with you, please follow their lovely blogs and socials! 


Becky - Hi everyone, I'm so happy to be on the team! For my first project I inked the card background with a water reactive inkpad and then coloured this adorable Bella Bear Snowman digistamp with Spectrum Noir markers. I added a couple of snowflakes to finish off. 

Taty - For my first DT inspiration I created a Christmas tag with colors other than the classic green and red to follow the theme of the weekly challenge. I chose the Poisenetta Reindeer Christmas Gingerbread Cookie color digital stamp and I am very satisfied because the image printed on the cardboard respects the colors with a perfect result. I love gingerbread. For the background I used Christmas paper patterns 2 digital paper, which has a wonderful rendering when printed.

Bea - For this project, I used a piece of kraft cardstock for my card base, and the Paper Patterns Gingerbread Cookie, which I cut with a die from my stash to be smaller than my card base, leaving about 1/2'' around it or so. I also created a window to make my card a partial shaker, and used a sequin mix from my stash. I used the beautiful digital image Star Christmas Gingerbread Cookie digital stamp which I colored with alcohol markers. To finish my card I added a sentiment from the Sweet Christmas greetings bundle. You can check out the reel to see how I made this card by visiting my Instagram Page.

Carrianne - Today, I created a CAS card using the Snowman-Elvis Wesley Moose digital image. After coloring the image with Copic Markers, I used a frame die to cut it out. I printed the greeting from the Elvis Wesley Moose Themed Set onto blue cardstock. I cut it out with a sentiment strip die, then adhered it to the panel with foam tape. To complete the sentiment, I opted to cut the mistletoe from the Mistletoe Hello Set and adhered it directly to the panel with liquid glue. Blue sequins added a finishing touch to the card.
Copics used:
Moose: E43-42-41, added shading with Prismacolor pencils
Hair: E49-47-44

Julie Nagle - Today’s design showcases two images of Theo the Penguin from PolkaDoodles, Snowball Tree & Snowball Sleigh. A festive scene in a snowy setting shows teamwork creating a Christmas tree made of snowballs. The card has a window on the front to peek into the snowy 3D scene with snow-covered hills and a playful snow flurry background paper, Theo Penguin Paper Bundle 4. A fun Christmas Greeting finishes off this super fun Christmas card. My Instagram/Facebook

Wendy - Hi everyone! We're getting ready for Christmas, and Polkadoodles has oodles of Gingerbread Cookie bundles ready for you cards. For my card today, I used the adorable Frosted Gingerbread Reindeer from the Cute Noel Gingerbread Cookie Bundle. and I paired him with the Gingerbread house from the Snow Day Gingerbread Cookie Bundle. I colored them with my Copic markers.


Merja - I decided to go with a Christmas scene theme. I used Scenic Christmas stencil and Distress Inks to create the upper part of the card. Then I added some trees and the sentiment at the bottom part with Night Sky stamp set. Lastly I added some falling snow with white paint pen.

Rachael - Hi everyone. I’m in full Christmas making mode and every year I use this stamp set to make quirky and fun cards. Oh Camel ye faithful is one of my all time favourite stamps and this card is a quick easy make if you need to make lots!

Today we're thrilled to welcome Revati to the design team - we look forward to sharing her amazing projects with you all, please follow her lovely blog!


Revati - Hello crafty friends, I am so happy to be on the team! For my project I created this Christmas tag and I used a cute little girl opening her christmas present along with her furry friends. I used the Winnie Celebrations 2 - Surprise Digi Stamp and colored it using my Spectrum Noir Tri Color Markers. For my sentiment, I used the Christmas Greeting Sentiment Digi Stamps. I love the font on this sentiment and thought that it would match perfectly with my focal point.

Renske - Creating these festive Christmas tags using the Waddy and Wanda Penguin digital stamps was a blast. I couldn’t resist making four tags to showcase all the adorable penguins in the set! After colouring them with alcohol markers, I blended a wintery background using Distress Inks and added texture with a stencil. The sentiments from the Theo Penguin set were the perfect finishing touch. I hope this inspires you to get creative and have fun! Happy crafting!

ENRICA - Hi crafty friends! I’m so happy that the assignment for this week was about Christmas tags, they’re absolutely my favorite! I’ve colored with Copics three sweet images from the Elvis Wesley Moose collection: Choosing the Christmas Tree Elvis Wesley Moose, Evie with Poinsettia - Elvis Wesley Moose and Snowman - Elvis Wesley Moose - they're all so cute! The Patterned papers are from the Winnie Winterland digital craft papers and most of the embellishments are from the Christmas Joy - Digiscrap DOWNLOAD bundle. I’ve stenciled a bunch of snowflakes with cream paste to give dimension and added a lace to one of them. Hope you like them as much as I do!!

Irre - Hello everyone, sharing today a Christmas tag that I created with the digital stamp Oh deer from Theo penguin. I colored him with Copic alcohol markers. For the tag, I stamped it with stamps from Perfect Poinsettias and Ho Ho Holly. I also covered two corners of the tag with paper from Theo Penguin paper bundle 4. To the edge of the paper at the top, I decorated with art stones. I also added some sewing thread behind the colored stamp. I added a sentiment from the Christmas message sheets, quotes, sentiments from Bella Bear Christmas. Finally, I added a red and white twine to the tag.

Judy - It's all about Christmas tags this time around! I created 3 tags using the new Christmas Gingerbread Cookie Bundles from the new Gingerbread Cookie Collection. The 3 focal images were colored with Prismacolor Pencils and fussy cut. I added some of the pre-colored embellishments included in the kit My tags were created with a punch and backed with using some of the printed papers included in the kit.

Today we're thrilled to welcome Carrianne to the design team - we look forward to sharing her amazing projects with you all - welcome Carrianne!


Carrianne - For my first challenge, I had to choose between an Autumn or alloween card. I chose Halloween, as I love scary things. I have created a cute, not-so-scary card featuring the Mummy Boo Halloween digital image. The sentiment is from Halloween Trick or Treat Printable Greetings. I colored the image with Copic markers and then cut it out using my Scan N Cut machine. The background was created with distress oxide inks using the smooshing technique. I finished the card with purple sequins.
Copics used:
Skin: E000-00-11-02
Mummy: W3-2-1, BV000
Hair: C6-5-3

Julie - Halloween - My most favorite theme to create cards for! Today’s design team card is crafted to resemble an eerie tombstone using an arched die and a few quick snips with scissors for the card bottom. The mystical background is blended with spooky ink tones, a touch of metallic splatter and hints of ghostly whispers. A chilling haunted house looms in the foreground - Polkadoodles Spooky House. I colored in the windows with yellow tones and clear embossed the house to create the sinister glow of the house in the darkness. Creepy bats and tattered tombstones were included in the Spooky House download and were perfect for adding an unsettling charm to the scene. The bottom of the tombstone card reads “Happy Halloween” - one of the many sentiments from Ghastly Ghost Printables. I can’t wait to send out this ghostly greeting! My Instagram/Facebook
Rachael For this weeks challenge my inspiration is using one of the cool gnomes from the recent release called Autumn gnome trick or treat  I love the sentiments and papers in this pack too they are all perfect together !
Kim Simpson - For this week’s challenge, I made another Halloween card, this time using the oh-so-adorable Mummy Boo digital stamp.   I loved coloring up this cutie with Copics and layering it up with some fun digital papers!  I just love this image so much!  How about you?
Gaby - For this slimline card I used Flower fairy sitting on a toadstool digital stamp and Winnie Daisy greetings, quotes and sentiments. This illustration it´s perfect for autumn cards. 

Ana - I love the Halloween period of the year! For my project this week I have chosen Witch Broomstick Halloween Gnome digital stamp and fantastic Halloween Trick or Treat printable papers. I made a shaker card and I hope you like it!


Wendy - Hi everyone! It's finally here - Halloween month! I just love this holiday. Halloween cards are some of the most fun to create. For this challenge, I used the Autumn/Fall Halloween Treat Bundle to create this fun shaped card, and colored it with my Copic markers. It was so much fun to make. Thank you for looking!

Merja - I used Isadora Witch image and coloured her with alcohol markers (and some white gel pen) before fussy cutting her. Then I cut the crystal ball with the Snow Globe die and coloured it with Distress Inks and white gel pen. I also used Starry Nights stencil with gold glitter paste to bring some more magical feeling. The base of the crystal ball is die cut from black cardstock and I added some white details with white gel pen and white paint pen. When the crystall ball was ready I taped Isadora on it with foam tape and added a Hocus Pocus sentiment from Boo Halloween Sentiment bundle.
