Enrica - Hi everyone! Spring is almost around the corner and it’s time to think about taking care of the garden. For my card I used the amazing digital image and patterned papers from the Cute Gnome feeding bird and mouse value bundle colored with Ohuhu markers. I love this gnome, he is simply delightful taking care of his little friends as he prepares to plant seeds in his garden! Happy crafting! xx

Adam - I Made a generic card using the Polkadoodles Crafts "Every Wish Stamp" and "Pretty & Pink Papers". This clean and simple card was basic stamping of the flower image and coloring it with alcohol markers. I added a few embellishments and layered it on a dark purple then onto the card base of Pretty & Pink floral paper.

I printed her out on white cardstock, colored her with alcohol markers and then fussy-cut the top part of her while keeping the bottom piece square to create dimension.  I used foam dimensional tape to attach the image to the card.  I used Paper Patterns 4 - Winnie Daisy Fairy printable paper for the background, and "Have a toad-ally awesome day" sentiment from the Spring Tons of Love greetings/sentiments/quotes set.  I added some pink ribbon to finish it off. Jenn x

Judy: My inspiration card this week is Spring themed. I used Butterfly Flowerpots as the focal which was colored with Prismacolor Pencils and fussy cut. My background is comprised of white card stock on which the sentiment from Spring Flower Mothers Day Friends Greetings Sentiments Printable was printed. The bottom of the card is a patterned paper from Winnie Daisy Fairy Printable Paper Patterns 4. I added 3 gems to complete my card design.

Revati - Hello crafty friends, spring is here! I can hear the little birds chirping and the beautiful flowers blooming and so is the season of love. I used this cute and adorable little chick using the Eggcited Chick Spring into Easter Digi Stamp. I colored it using my Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers and paired it with a beautiful sentiment "Love Grows Here" from the Spring Tons of Love Greetings and Sentiments which I thought matched our little spring scene.

Renske - Hello Everyone! For this card, I’ve used the Hello Spring digital stamp, which captures the essence of spring with its playful design featuring adorable ducks and butterflies. I printed the image, coloured it with alcohol markers, and added a glossy finish to the letters using Paper Glaze for a fun touch. The background was created using simple stencilling techniques with Distress Inks, layering grasses and clouds for a fresh spring feel. Once the image was cut and arranged on foam tape, I attached it to a clean, simple card base for a cheerful, dimensional look. I hope this inspires you to create your own spring-themed cards for the challenge! Happy crafting!My Instagram: @renske.wishes.you  Facebook: Renske.wishes.you

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

Julie - This super cute wedding/anniversary card radiates a charming vintage vibe! Featuring the adorable Wedding Car digi coloured with Copic markers, and cut out using a playful postage die. The background is a mix of two Love & Kisses Papers in a haphazard layout, adding to the whimsical appeal. A sentiment from the Love & Kisses Sentiment Tags adds a hint of romance, while the distressed edges and ivory-colored card base create a warm, nostalgic feel. Check out the full details on my blog.InstagramFacebook

Merja - I used this adorable Love is in the Air Elephant image. I used a text editor program to print one "normal" and one reversed image. I also modified the sentiment from Love Always sentiments set before printing it. I coloured the image and sentiment banner with alcohol markers and white paint pen. Then I made the card base - I stamped the edges with a stamp from Love Hearts stamp set and fussy cut it. I die cut a couple hearts with Squarey Swirly Hearts die and coloured them also with alcohol markers. Lastly I taped the images, sentiment and hearts on card base with a foam tape. I really love the contrast in this card!

Nunzia: love is in the air and we need for a card to match our gifts. So I coloured this super cute couple of birds in love with alchool markers and created a background with distress oxide inks. Than, I added some hearts punched from a sheet included in Wings of love papers bundle. The sentiment is one of Love Always sentiment bundle.

Carrianne - Hello friends! This week’s theme was to create a project for engagement, wedding, or love, so I decided to make a wedding card. It’s for a dear friend’s son who is getting married, and it’s such a special occasion that definitely calls for a card to celebrate! For my card, I chose the Wedding Car Digital, and it was just perfect for the occasion! I decided to color it with Prismacolor pencils to give it a soft, subtle look that really complements the elegant theme. The sentiment is from the Love Birds Greetings Valentine digital set, which had so many wonderful options, but I opted for the simple and timeless "Always"to keep it meaningful and understated. For more creative inspiration, be sure to follow me on Instagram @crafticarri

Taty - Hi friends, I'm sharing my inspiration for the new February challenge with an engagement/wedding theme. I chose the Wedding Car digital stamp because it has beautiful graphics.I created a card measuring 4x4 inch, the layering is done with embossed white cardboard and a heart obtained with sage-colored corrugated cardboard on which I glued the image of the bride and groom.
 I colored the image with Prismacolor pencils and I leave you the numbers: 
Face 1061. 1054, 1056 – Bride's hair 1093, 1080, 943 – Groom's hair 945, 946 – Bride's veil 1068, 938 – Car details 1050, 1063, 1054 – Bows and crown colored with green watercolor brilliant.

Judy: Hello there! My card for this week's post was created with Radiant Roses Clear Stamps & Radiant Roses Outline Dies. I stamped the roses and leaves and colored with Spectrum Noir Markers before die cutting. A paper weaved panel was added to the white background. I used 4 different card stocks cut into 1/4 inch strips weaved diagonally. The die cut roses and leaves were adhered to the background. My sentiment was stamped with the Splendored Love Stamp Set from the Timeless Rose Collection.


Renske


Enrica - Hi crafty friends! For my Valentine’s card this week I used the super cute Love Bird Balloons Valentine - Wings of Love digital stamp, colored with Ohuhu alcohol markers. To meet the requirements of using paper weaving I cut a shaped heart from heavy cardstock and used leftover stripes from several collections of patterned papers. The pink paper for the background is from the Bella Bear Morning Coffee bundle and the sentiment is from the Love Birds Greetings Valentine set. Wishing you all a lovely Valentines xx


Jenn here - I used Cutiepie digi stamp - Lil Miss Sugarpops
I colored her with alcohol markers and used a little heart die-cut to replace the flower she's holding. I tend to hoard all of my scraps, so I had a plethora of strips of paper from which to choose for my paper weaving. I used pieces of previously distressed cardstock with different colored inks blended all over them. I like the "quilt" look of the mismatched papers! I fussy-cut her out and attached her to a die-cut circle with foam dimensional tape then added some gemstone stickers and a sentiment sticker.


Revati - Hello crafty friends, I created a very adorable Valentine's project using the cute little bunnies from the Your Love Lifts Me Up Balloon - Love Always Digital Stamp. For my background, I decided to create a heart shaped window with a paper weaving pattern using beautiful strips of patterned paper from the Spring Tons of Love Paper Patterns 2, which is also what I used for my card front. I added a beautiful sentiment from the Spring Tons of Love Greetings, which matched perfectly with the theme of our card today.

So, let's see the inspiration from the team for this week - we've been creating lots of gorgeous Pancake inspired projects for you, as Pancake day is coming up in a couple of weeks and it's so much fun here in the UK!... 

Julie - I created this card with the Flipping Pancakes image from Polkadoodles Pancakes & Waffles collection. The stacks of pancakes wiggle and wobble, trying to stay in the frying pan. Thr sentiment is from “Have a Flippin’ Great Day”, this card is perfect for celebrating the deliciousness of Pancake Day! Details to create this card can be found on my Blog. Follow me on Facebook & IG

Carrianne - Hi friends! Today, I'm sharing a super fun card for this week’s theme—Pancake Day! There are so many adorable images to choose from, but I couldn’t resist Flipping Pancakes Digital Image because she totally reminds me of myself when I try to flip them. I always end up making a mess! I colored the image with alcohol markers and used a stitched square die to cut it out. For the background, I chose the Paper Patterns 2 - Winnie Daisy Fairy for a fun and playful touch. The sentiment is from the Pancakes and Waffles Greetings Bundle, which was the perfect finishing touch for this card.
For more inspiration, be sure to follow me on Instagram @crafticarri. I’d love to connect and share more creative ideas with you!

Wendy - Today on the Polkadoodles challenge, we're celebrating one of the yummiest holidays - "Pancake Day". It's not an official holiday in the states, but it should be. For my card, I used the black and white digital stamps from Pancake Waffles Digital Stamps and colored them with my Copic markers to create a delicious breakfast fit for this holiday. I'm getting hungry! Have fun creating and good luck!

Taty - Hello and happy creative new year to all of you who follow us. Today I'm sharing my inspiration for the pancake day themed challenge, a small bag to give away sweets. For this project I chose the beautiful Pancake Time digital stamp that I colored with Prismacolor pencils: face 927-1014-939, shoes 922-924-1030, flowers 1001-1002-118, hair 943-1081-1082-948, dress 1001-1002-1033. I embellished the coloring with the white gel pen and the glossy acent for the pancake icing and finally I combined the sentiment from the Winnie Celebrations 1 collection.


Merja - I decided to use this adorable Pancake Time image, coloured it with alcohol markers and added some highlights with white gel pen and white paint marker. I used the papers from Winnie Daisy Fairy Paper Patterns 2 and sentiment from Pancakes and Waffles greetings bundle 2, designed the look with a text editor program and then printed them. I cut the purple paper with a cutting die, added acetate sheet on the backside and then foam tape on the edges (on the backside also). After I had checked that there were no openings on the foam tape line I added some glitter and confetti and added the background paper. When I taped the girl on the front it seemed to need something more so I added some precoloured images (honey and cherries) from Winnie Fruit Punch Embellies Bundle and "draining syrup" I made with Grungey Slime stencil and Distress Ink. Very delicious card!

Nunzia: It'a a real good idea to have a pancake party, they are so delicious. And a themed greating card is perfect for any occasion. That's why I decided to choose this cute precoloured Pancake time image adding just some sparkle on the dress and flowers. Than, I prepared a background with a paper from Noodle Panda Set, cutting out some elements to create a flower in the corner. For the sentiment, which is part of Pancakes and waffles greetings bundle-1, I would to print it in a large size to give more interest to the tag.

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!
