Renske - I created this cute Easter basket this week using the Springtime Smiles collection - you need this in your life, it's for all year round and has lots of digis included!

Judy: The design team was asked to make a slider style card for this week's inspiration. My card is a gatefold slider created with one of the digis from Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep, which I colored with pencils. I used 2 patterned papers on the front slider from Pretty Spring Papers Printables. The patterned paper on the gatefold card are from Noodle Panda Set 1 Printable Papers. The sentiments are from Spring into Easter Messages.

Enrica - I created this interactive card using the super cute Springtime Smiles collection - I love how he's jumping up the ladder!

Revati - Hello crafty friends, Today I have a very cute and adorable interactive slider card that I created using the Bunny Rabbit with Easter Egg Digi Stamp. I paired my little bunny with a cute little girl from the Your Love Lifts Me Up Balloon Digi Stamp.
For my background, I used the fun green patterned paper from the Theo Penguin Bundle 4 Digital Paper Pad. I printed my easter sentiment from the Easter Greeting Digi Stamp on this patterned paper and then cut out a grass border. For my sky, I used a gorgeous gradient blue patterned paper from the Spring to Easter Printable Paper.
To create my slider mechanism, I used one sentiment label die and cut through the center of my grass panel, and placed my little bunnies on either end of the slider.

Jenn B - Hello! This week I made 2 slider cards, different styles.  First card:  I created a slider card where you pull the insert out from the top to see the message inside. I used papers from the Spring Into Easter set 2 pack to create the background. I then printed In the Nest, colored with alcohol markers, fussy cut and attached to the die-cut sentiment from the Spring Into Easter Messages set.

Second card:  For this one, I made a slider card where you can just slide the bunny across the card's sentiment. I used digi papers from the Spring Into Easter  paper pack for the background, and printed the sentiment from the Birthday Sentiments and Greetings set onto the inserted paper. I printed out Party Balloon Bunny and colored with alcohol markers (some Fluffy Stuff on her tail) then fussy cut before attaching her to the slider piece.

More gorgeous inspiration for you this week to use, big thanks to the team! We hope you'll share what you make with your Polkadoodles products on our Social Media!

Nikky - Have you seen our new releases? If you love decorating and making 3D crafts you have to check out all our latest MDF kits - they're GORGE! I loved making this fab Dreamy Hares shelf sitter, it's so easy to put together! 

Julie - Similar to peeling back flower petals this floral greeting card features torn paper layers that are ink blended and embossed, providing a background for these beautiful Hollyhock flowers, paired with one of my favorite uplifting sentiments “sending you a little bit of Happy” (Winnie Special Moments Quotes). Further details can be found on my blog.

InstagramFacebookThanks, Julie - The Paper Artist/Creative Card Design

Carrianne - Hi friends! Today I’m sharing a beautiful floral card featuring the Perfect Peony Pre-Coloured digital image and a sentiment from the Alcea Hollyhock Flowers digital set. I framed the image with a die, layered it on a black mat, and added decorated border dies to a pink panel. The image is popped on foam tape, and I finished it with a black card base and black sequins for some sparkle!

Taty - Hello creative friends! My DT inspiration for the new Flower themed challenge is a card, created using the Perfect Peony digital image that I colored with metallic watercolors in shades of pink. After coloring I cut the peonies with precision. As a base I used a craft card and for the background I created the bricks with a stencil, the external bricks obtained with the distress oxide color antique linen and the central bricks with a white glitter paste. In the center I composed a bouquet of flowers adding as embellishments a letter, a white satin ribbon bow and small pink hearts. The sentiment is always part of the Perfect Peony bundle by Polkadoodles.

Merja - This time I decided to create this quite simple slimline card. I used a super cute Bluebell Flower Fairy Winnie image and coloured her with alcohol markers. I taped the image on a patterned background paper from Winnie Celebrations 3 papers set and then on the card base. Lastly I added a sentiment from Winnie Daisy Greetings, Quotes and Sentiments pack and a few half pearls.

Judy: My Polkadoodles inspiration project for this week is a pillow box treat holder with a tag. The pillow box was created with a punch board. I covered the pink box with a patterned paper from Pretty Spring Papers Printables. The same paper was applied to the tag. I used Bunny Rabbit with Spring Carrots Colour for the focal on the tag. The sentiment is from Easter Greetings, Quotes and Sentiments Printables.

Enrica - Hi everyone! My project for this week is an Easter garland made of paper rosette and some cute Easter digital stamps colored with Copic: Bunny Rabbit with Spring Carrots, Butterfly Chick, Cute Bunny Rabbit sitting on Easter Egg. Digital papers are from different sets: Gnome holding carrots gardening, Coffee Tea and Cake paper patterns bundle and Pretty Spring papers. I’ve added ton sur tone laces and a few enamel dots from my stash and sentiments from the Darling Buds bundle.Stay crafty!

Jenn B - I created a magnet with a digi paper from the Paper Patterns 4 set for the background, and printed Hello Chick! from the Spring Into Easter messages set directly on the paper. I used this adorable In the Nest Spring Chick digi stamp, colored with alcohol markers and fussy-cut, then layered on a twig die-cut.

Revati - Hello crafty friends, today I tried something different. I created a decor piece using a table mat piece. I plan on placing this on my front door welcoming the little bunnies of our neighborhood. I used the Easter Basket Chick Spring to Easter Digi Stamp. I colored the image using my Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers, after which I cut it using my Brother Scan N Cut machine. For more details, please visit my Blog.

So, let's see the inspiration from the team for this week!

Wendy - I have an adorable card to share with you today using the latest digi release Birthday Celebration bundle. I used the adorable Party Time Bunny and one of the flowers for this sweet card. What I love about digital stamps is it's so easy to resize and manipulate all of these elements to fit perfectly on my card. I resized and rotated the flowers to create a beautiful border around the bunny. It was really fun to design this way.

Carrianne - Hello friends! Today, I’m sharing a clean and simple card that features the beautiful Alcea Hollyhock Flowers, which I thought would make the perfect choice for a Mother’s Day card. I paired it with a lovely sentiment from the Spring Flower Mother’s Day Friends Greetings set—this set is packed with so many wonderful sentiments, making it perfect for all your floral card creations! I began by resizing and printing the image to suit my design, then colored it with Copic Markers and fussy cut it out. For the background, I used a diagonal stripe window die, which I adhered to a white A2 card base for a bit of texture. I added the image on foam tape to give it some dimension and make it pop. The sentiment was printed, trimmed, and also adhered with foam tape to give it a little lift, tying everything together beautifully.

Copics used:

V12-V15-V17

Y13-Y15-Y18

YG61-YG63-YG67

Taty - Hello creative friends! My DT inspiration for the new Mother's Day themed challenge was created with the gorgeous Winnie Sugar Sprinkles Springtime. color digital image. I created an interactive card, with a sliding mechanism, where by pulling the right insert the left part also comes out. I printed the image on 200g white cardboard and then I precisely cut out the girl, the flowers and the butterflies which I glued on the front with the word mum in the oval frame. In the right insert I pasted the phrase present in the set.

Julie - I created a card using this sweet trio of printable bunnies - find out more on my social here
