As always, lot's going on here, so let's see the inspiration from the team for this week!

Rosanna - Hello creative friends! For my project this Saturday, I wanted to make two tags. I don't make them often, even though they are quick, useful and fun. I imagined these on top of a birthday gift package. I used an adorable digital stamp, Scruff the dog Cupcake, who is an adorable big dog.
Two tags, therefore two dogs coloured differently, again with Copic markers. For the lighter one, I used the codes E34 - E31- E51 and for the darker dog, I used E44 E43 E34 E 30. The rest of the colours are up to your imagination, but I hope I have been helpful in quickly deciding on the right colours. For the tags, I used a sheet of corrugated Kraft card and a tree die cut on the back (we all have at least one, right?). The sentiment “Hugs and Kisses” is made with a die cut and coloured card.
I hope you like it. Lots of big hugs x

Maria - The most wonderful time of the year…Isn’t Advent the most magical time? Everything feels so cozy and full of joy as we start decorating and spreading happiness with little handmade treasures. I can't wait for December to truly begin. To fit the season, I created a small goody for someone special. For me, candles are an essential part of this time of year — they bring such warmth and charm. And of course, I love to wrap them beautifully! Using the gorgeous Vintage Poinsettia stencil set and the matching dies, I designed an eye-catching candle wrap that makes a lovely statement. First, I created the beautifully layered flower using all eight stencil layers — such a stunning design! After that, I die-cut the flower to give it a clean finish. The real eye-catcher, in my opinion, is the white sentiment on the white background. I also die-cut both elements to tie the whole look together. A few playful polka dots add the perfect finishing touch — and just like that, you have a sweet little gift ready to bring joy.
Here's my INSTAGRAM, FACEBOOK & YOUTUBE - I'd love to follow you back!


Julie - Imagine you’re a little gingerbread man strolling through the snow on Christmas Eve, the scent of sugar and spice floating in the air. As you peek through a frosty shop window, you spot a scene so sweet it warms your cookie heart — jars of candy, gingerbread and Christmas cheer. That magical moment inspired this fun shaker card design—using the adorable “Shop Window” image in the Gingerbread & Holly Collection. A fun square design, and a snowy background provides the perfect backdrop for the shaker window. A few shimmery shaker bits, snowflakes and a playful “Happy Holidays” sentiment finish it off — because every gingerbread deserves a little holiday magic.

Taty - Hi friends, I'm sharing my DT inspiration for the November challenge. I created a square box with a diagonal opening. I decorated the lid with the colorful Flower Birthday Celebration Cake image, which I printed and cut with a circular die. The lid is made up of two parts that open diagonally. I used magnets to secure the lid. I hope this gives you a lovely idea for your Christmas gifts.

Cozy Christmas new release:

As always, lot's going on here, so let's see the inspiration from the team for this special week!

Judy - This week's inspiration project is a birthday card created with the Birthday Cake Elephant Digital Stamp. I coloured this little cutie with Prismacolor pencils and fussy cut it. The card background consists of patterned paper from the Birthday Fun 6x6 Paper Pack and white cardstock that was embossed with a brick pattern embossing folder. I added a number 3, which was printed from the Cute Elephant Tons of Love Numbers Printables. The sentiment was stamped with one of the stamps in the Birthday Celebrations 4x8 Clear Stamp Set.

Enrica - Hi crafty friends! For my birthday project this week I made a gatefold card using digital stamps from the Party Time Collection — Party Balloon Bunny Rabbit and Flower Birthday Celebration Cake — coloured with Ohuhu markers. The patterned papers are from the Tons of Love Collection. For the closure I used the precoloured Mouse with Flowers Digital Stamp and some flower dies from my stash. Have a lovely weekend! xx

Jenn B - I just love making zodiac-themed birthday cards! This one was no exception — I used the fun Scorpio Digi Stamp, layered in Canva so her braid hung outside the astrology wheel from the Zodiac/Horoscope Star Signs and Charts set. I coloured with Copics, fussy cut, and sponged some black ink around the wheel. I added a Scorpio symbol, fussy cut to stand out, and die cut the sentiment with a deckled-edge rectangle die.

Revati - Card bundles are such a fun way to create a complete project from start to finish — and they often spark a little colour inspiration too! For today’s project, I made this cute birthday card using the Birthday Mouse Bundle. This set not only features an adorable little mouse in both black-and-white and pre-coloured versions, but also includes beautiful patterned papers and a collection of fun sentiments. I chose to work with the black-and-white digital stamp and coloured it using my Ohuhu Alcohol Markers, taking inspiration from the pre-coloured image included in the bundle. Having that reference was a great way to practise my colouring! Once the image was ready, I carefully cut it using my Brother ScanNCut machine. I also printed the gorgeous patterned paper and sentiment on heavyweight cardstock. To add a bit of interest to the background, I die-cut the panel using a postage-edge die — it created such a lovely outline and framed the design beautifully against the pink card base. Finally, I adhered the coloured image to the centre of the panel, added my sentiment strip below it, and finished the card with a sprinkle of sparkly sequins. More details are up on my blog!

Sana - Today is a new day for the Blog Challenge Design Team to design for birthdays. I thought the Winnie Sugar Sprinkle Springtime image would go beautifully with the theme — well, who doesn’t like chocolates! I made a beautiful card using Sheet 4, adding some birthday sentiments with the stamp set I had from My Favorite Things and the gift box stamp as well. Gift this to your chocoholic friend and don’t forget to join in the fun this week!

Cozy Christmas new release:

As always, lot's going on here, so let's see the inspiration from the team for this special week!

Today we are very excited to welcome Maria to the team - we know you will love seeing her amazing creations - welcome Maria!

Maria - My First Polkadoodles Project! I’m so excited to share my very first creation as part of the Polkadoodles team – it’s such an honor to be here! For the Trim the Tree challenge, I couldn’t resist reaching for the adorable Curly Christmas stamp set. I stamped the images, colored them with Faber-Castell watercolor pencils (numbers 109, 112, 115, 121, 168, 184, 219, 225), blended everything with a brush, and fussy cut the pieces. To add some sparkle and detail, I highlighted areas with a Uniball Signo pen. For the card base, I chose a fun-fold design. I splattered the white cardstock with watercolor paint for a playful background. Then I stamped the images directly onto the card base and adhered my colored pieces on top using foam pads for extra dimension. As a finishing touch, I decorated the Christmas tree with some sweet little Polka dots as ornaments. I hope you enjoy this festive card as much as I enjoyed making it. Find me on Instagram and let me know what you think of it. Happy crafting! Hugs, Maria

Julie - For my Design Team project, I couldn’t resist choosing this sweet Bella Bear image — there’s just something magical about decorating a Christmas tree under snowy skies. I really wanted to play with layers on this card, so I built it up with many layers. I started with the first layer of rolling hills of snow & background trees. A second layer of the same background with the buildings and farthest two hills cut from it. I created the next layer of Bella, her present, the bag of stars (cutting out the closest row of trees and snowbank) and adhered this on top of the existing layers for extra depth. The final layer consisted of an added layer of Bella, the present and the bag of stars. The end result is a festive little scene bursting with dimension, just like the holiday season itself — cozy, cheerful, and full of joy. My Blog; Instagram; Facebook

Taty - Christmas is approaching, it's time for preparations, and with the colorful digital image Winnie Winterland, I decorated a little box to give as a gift for cookies or chocolates. I printed the image in color and cut it out precisely. For embellishments, I added a 3D wooden tree and the chipboard lettering. To close the box, I added magnets. Have fun!

Rosanna - Hello creative friends! My DT inspiration project for this week is a winter/Christmas project that I made using the beautiful Winnie Heavenly Snowman stamp set. To create the base, I used a cardboard circle about 20 cm wide, which I then covered with white cardstock. I created the background using two types of pink Oxide ink pads. This is a very cute stamp, like all Winnie stamps, and I colored it with Copic alcohol markers. In the left corner, I used the beautiful Polkadoodles Holly Spruce dies, which I recommend purchasing given the exceptional price on their website.

I finished the little landscape with snow paste (the kind you have at home), which I placed under the little girl and the tiny snowman. I added ribbons and lace at the top so that this decoration can be hung up. I hope you like this project. Big hugs, Rosanna

Cozy Christmas new release:

As always, lot's going on here, so let's see the inspiration from the team for this special week!

Judy My DT inspiration project for this week is a Halloween treat bag. The bag was made with black cardstock. I added patterned paper from Halloween Trick or Treat Printable Papers Bundle 2. Ribbon handles were attached. A shaker was made with some recycled packaging and scalloped circle die cuts. The focal image was stamped from Grab Your Broomstick Matchables Die Set. I coloured it with Prismacolor pencils, die cut it and adhered it to the shaker.

Enrica Hello crafty friends! Today I created these tags using the gorgeous witches from the Spellbinding Witches collection. These are so fun to use—I often create with them throughout the year as well as at Halloween too. I hope you like my project.

Jenn B I love Halloween so much, and making Halloween projects is definitely my favourite crafting genre! So I created a tag/bookmark and a card for today. My papers are from the Halloween/Autumn Paper Heaven 1 set at Polkadoodles—printable papers make it so easy to resize and use for paper piecing. I printed the witch and Dracula from the Hocus Pocus Witches Halloween set, coloured them with Copics and fussy cut them. I used some banner dies on the card and also to create my bookmark/tag. The sentiments are from the Halloween Trick or Treat Printable Greetings set.

Revati Hello crafty friends! Today I’m sharing a fun project I created using the Halloween Trick or Treat Word Art images. I turned these designs into festive gift tags for the Boo Bags I’ll be gifting to my neighbours this Halloween. These tags came together so quickly and easily, making them a perfect option if you’re looking for something that can be mass-produced without too much effort. With so many playful designs available, you can mix and match to create a whole variety of looks—each one just as fun and spooky as the last! Head over to my blog for all the details, tips, and close-up photos of these cute Halloween gift tags.

Sana: I had so much fun with this mummy Halloween digi. It’s so freaky spooky! I made a tag with it, and the background is a mixture of Halloween digital papers. They’re just so versatile and spooky crazy. I also gave a makeover to the Gnome Mummy with mummy cloth. Don’t forget to join in the Halloween fun challenge.

Cozy Christmas new release:

As always, lot's going on here, so let's see the inspiration from the team for this special week!

Rachael - Hi everyone! Today is World Cardmaking Day so I'm here with some inspiration for a card I love..I made this with ONLY stencils - the Winter foliage Layering Stencils, and I really love this colour combination.  I inked the layers and then when I added the holly berries I wenst over the top with a black and a white fineliner pen to add the berry tips and the highlights - I love how the berries pop off the card.  What I love most is that by changing colours with inks this stencil is an all year rounder and I've used it so many times on my backgrounds right through this year! I hope you have an amazing World Cardmaking Day and create something fabulous!

Julie - If you’re celebrating World Card Making Day, Bella Bear from Polkadoodles is the perfect little helper to get you started. She’s cute, cozy, and holding her coffee—because let’s face it, none of us are rocket scientists, we’re just crafters who know the true power of caffeine! This card shows just how easy it can be to make something beautiful without overcomplicating things. A sweet image, a splash of color, and a sentiment that makes you smile—that’s all you need. Bella keeps it simple, so you can spend more time sipping while you create. Find all the details on my blog. Blog Instagram Facebook

Rosanna - Hello everyone and a warm hug! Are you thinking about Christmas? I am, and I love it. I chose a stamp that I bought some time ago, a stamp that is so delicate and sweet, it's Winnie Heartfelt Wishes. I coloured the sweet little girl with Copic markers and used a cloud-shaped die that many of us will have in our drawers to shape the top, leaving a glimpse of the blue paper with lots of falling snow (made with a stencil). I attached the Christmas tree die cut and glued it to the left with thick double-sided tape, finishing with liquid glitter along the branches.

Finally, I added snow paste at the bottom, while stars and a moon made from a sheet of silver glitter paper were placed in the sky. The paper shines brightly, but you can't see it in the photo.

I hope you like it.

Taty - I'm sharing a card I made with the clear stamp Summer Day, colored with Prismacolor pencils. I love this line of stamps featuring girls, be sure to check them out! I embellished the bottom right corner with a pink and white paw print using the die from the Beary Cute Critter Great Outdoors set. This card is a surprise for my daughter, she's getting an Australian Shepherd puppy on the way.
