So, let's see the inspiration from the team for this new challenge - we've been creating lots of gorgeous projects for you... 

Bea - Hey friends!! Today I have for you a very simple money card, perfect for Christmas time. For my money card I used the digital image Pickles Hedgehog snowy birds that I have cut with a stitched circle die from my stash, and I placed on a piece of glitter cardstock also from my stash, I glued this on a belly band so my card would be secure and money wouldn't come out of the card. I also use the pattern paper Paper Patterns Gingerbread Cookie. I colored my image with alcohol markers. Until next time!!

Adam - Using the five Winter Christmas Foliage layering stencils, I chose non traditional colors to make the background layer of this card. I used two dies from the Vintage Christmas Holly Baubles Outline dies set to decorate the background. Finally finished with an embossed sentiment from the Merry Christmas Text Wreath dies and mounted background on two layers of co-ordinating card stock.

Julie - This week we were challenged to create a Money Holder card. I love when the Design Team can create with their choice of an image, so I chose to create with Bauble Hat Bella. I designed up a quick and easy gift card/money holder card using super fun printable paper from Polkadoodles. I colored Bella using Copic Markers and added some “beary” Cute sentiments from Christmas greetings. The complete details for this project can be found on my blog. Happy Crafting! Follow me on: Instagram/Facebook

Wendy - Hi everyone! I just love this little Gingerbread Cookie licking the yummy Christmas pudding off his spoon. He's just one of the many sweet images available in the Gingerbread Bundle. You can find him in the Baking Bundle, and I've paired him with the hot cocoa and ornament cookies from the ephemera bundle. Stop by the store and checkout all of the Gingerbread kits just waiting to be on your Christmas cards!

Carrianne - Hi there, crafty friends! Our challenge this week was to create a money card, and I was thrilled because the holidays are coming up, and money cards are appreciated in my family. I created this moose-themed money card using the Elvis Wesley Moose Themed Paper and Elvis Wesley Moose Themed Sentiments. I used an envelope punchboard to smooth out the corners. Of course, I had to include a moose, so I used the Mistletoe Hello - Elvis Wesley Moose. I added a few snowflakes to complete the card.
Copics used:
Moose: E41-E42-E43-E44-E47
Scarf/Mitten: R00-R02-R05
Shirt: YG00-YG01-YG03-YG23
Boots: C3-C5-C6
Mistletoe: YG61-YG63, R17

Taty - For this project I created a coin holder useful for giving away money or gift cards. Inside the ticket we find a mini pop-up bag. I decorated the project with the digital image of the sleigh loaded with gifts from the Winnie Winterland collection - Design Sheet 10 SKU WWLds 10 that I cut out to apply on the front of the card together with the phrase that is part of the Heartfelt wishes PD7962 rubber stamp set . Sending hugs, Taty

Merja - This time I created a fun card to give with a money gift. I used the Curly Christmas stamp set to create the "envelope" part. I stamped the Christmas baubles on a white cardboard, coloured them with watercolours and cut away the part above the baubles. Then I cut a little bigger base from a green cardboard and taped the cardboard I just made on it from the edges. After I had done the envelope part I cut a card to go partly inside the envelope from a blue cardboard. I cut the holes where I can put a 20€ bill and rounded the upper part of the card. Then I printed Gift Box Parcel Bella and Cooper Christmas Puppy images, coloured them with alcohol markers and fussy cut them. I also made some gifts from Theo Penguin paper bundle 3. I taped the images and the gifts on the card so that they are just on the edge of the envelope part when the card is in and just over the money when the card is out of the envelope. Lastly I added some stars on the blue part of the card with a glitter yellow paint pen.


Rachael - Hi everyone. These postage dies are everywhere at the moment and you can use your digital images with them too. Just measure the space you have and adapt the size of your digi image to fit. I the cut around the image in the right size rectangle and added them onto the blank die cut. I used the latest Theo release for this but you could use any of the polkadoodles sets for this!



More gorgeous inspiration for you this week to use - we hope you'll share what you make with your Polkadoodles products on our Social Media!

So, let's see the inspiration from the team for this new challenge - we've been creating lots of gorgeous projects for you... 


Renske - Hello everyone! For this project, I created a winter-themed gift bag to inspire you.. I used the Frozen Birthday digital stamp as the centerpiece, paired with the soft and frosty patterns from the Theo Penguin Paper Bundle 1. The sentiment, “Enjoy Your Special Day,” is from the Birthday Sentiments & Greetings set, making it perfect for a December birthday. I started by crafting the gift bag with the patterned paper, then coloured the digital stamp with alcohol markers to bring it to life. Adding foam tape for dimension and finishing with snowflake embellishments, this gift bag is ready to hold a special treat or gift. Happy crafting! My Instagram: @renske.wishes.you/Facebook: Renske.wishes.you


ENRICA - Hi everyone and Happy Birthday to all of you who clebrate this month! For my project this week I’ve made a card and a chocolate/candy box using the sweet Celebration - Winnie winter celebration digital stamp, colored with Copic. Patterned papers are from the Jolly Santa - Christmas paper patterns 1and Christmas Joy - Download bundle. I’ve added a sentiment from the Everyday greetings and quotes - Winnie Daisy Fairy and ribbons and snowflakes. Have a wonderful Birthday!

Irre - Hello everyone. For this week's challenge, I altered a playing card and used the pre-colored stamp Ruby celebrations. For the background, I colored it in with Distress ink and water which I did several times to get the texture in the color that I wanted. I also stamped it with different stamps to get more texture. I attached the pre-colored stamp with black sewing thread underneath. Finally, I added a sentiment from Winnie Daisy greetings, quotes and sentiments. My Instagram: @scrapbyirre


Revati - Hello crafty friends, here's cute and adorable little Winnie wishing best wishes on your birthday. I used the Winnie Daisy 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: This week the DT was asked to create a December Birthday project. I created a card using Winnie Winter Celebration. The image was printed, colored with pencils and fussy cut. My background was created with sparkle pens and glitter card stock. I stamped the sentiment from Birthday Celebrations 4 x 8" Clear Stamp Set.

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


Rachael - Hi crafting friends. Not long left now until the big day (love it or it hate it, it's coming!) For this weeks inspiration I used the gorgeous Elvis Wesley Moose, for a bright and bold card! The image and papers come from the USB, but you can buy them individually too. This image is called slip and slide. Don't forget if you want a quick card, or if you maybe are not confident at colouring, you can also get the recoloured image here.


Julie - A Christmas card using an image from Gnome Festive Fun Collection, that was the Design Team Challenge this time. I chose to print and color the Polar Bear-Gnome Festive Fun image to create my card. I used printable paper from Winnie White Christmas 2 to create a background and a frame for the inner background. I created the birch trees with a random tree stamp and added some falling snowflakes and glitter on the tree trunks. My idea was to create a Christmas card using calm & peaceful colors with only the Gnomes hat having that festive pop of red. I hope you like the card as much as I do! My Instagram/Facebook

Wendy L - Saturday comes around so fast - and so does Christmas! This week I'm happy to share this card I coloured using the adorable Gingerbread Cookie release - I love this collection there is SO much in it, such great value! This image is from the Candy bundle, but you can also find him as a digistamp or clipart too if you just want the image on its own!

Bea - For my card today I wanted to really make my image the front and center of my project. I used the digital stamp Polar Bear - Gnome Festive Fun and I ventured out of my comfort zone and colored my image with Prismacolor pencils. I added a sentiment from the Christmas greetings, quotes, sentiments and to finish it off I just chose some contrasting cardstock from my stash, I also used white gel pen to add the snow. Make sure to visit my IG page over here to check the reel for this card. Happy Crafting friends!!!


Carrianne - Hi, crafty friends! I am bringing you gnome-sized joy and candy cane sweetness, featuring the adorable image Candy Cane - Gnome Festive Fun, as well as Elvis Wesley Moose Themed Paper. The sentiment is from the Christmas Greetings digital set. Coloring up this gnomey was a lot of fun.
Copics used:
Gnome (nose): E50, R11-R00
Hair: Y21-Y23-Y26
Outfit: B95-B45-B41
Candy Cane: R39-R37-R35
Berries: RV25, R21
Bows/Heart: R81-R83



Becky - Hello! Today I've used this super cute printable stamp which is from the Bella bear collection - I just love her! You can get her in either the digistamp to colour or a pre coloured clipart version which is just great if you're short on time! 

Taty - The theme of the new challenge is Gnome so I chose an image from the fantastic collection of Gnome Festive Fun by Polkadoodles, specifically the DLPD8539 Special Wishes (precoloured) Gnome Festive FunI printed the image and cut it out precisely, to apply it thickly on the card. I created a simple card to highlight the Gnome, base card a red striped card, on top I glued a white card with reindeer imprinted and lastly a die-cut wood texture card to create windows. Have fun creating your greeting cards with the gnomes from the collection, they are fantastic!

Merja - I used Gnome Naughty or Nice stamp set and matching die set. I stamped the image, coloured it with alcohol markers and then die cut it. Then I added some glitter glue and details with white gel pen and white paint pen. The house part I made with stencil and distress ink, added the windows and lastly some details with white paint pen. Then I just taped the image on the upper part of it. It was so fun to do this!

More gorgeous inspiration for you this week to use - we hope you'll share what you make with your Polkadoodles products on our Social Media!
