Rachael - Hi everyone! If you need a quick card, why not use our pre-coloured images. This cute bunny called love you bunches from bunny love collection, is perfect, teamed with a few papers and white embellies. It's really easy but so professional-looking! Gorgeous to say thank you, love you or for any wedding cards!

Julie - Hello again! Today I’m sharing a delightful fun fold Thank You card featuring the charming Polkadoodles Tons of Love – Flowers for You Elephant. With a backdrop of Pretty Spring printable papers, this card sets the perfect scene for this adorable Copic-coloured image. The playful “Thanks a Ton” sentiment complements the theme, while expressing gratitude. You can find the quick & easy card details on my blog ; Instagram ; Facebook

Carrianne - Hi there! Today, I’m excited to share a beautiful bouquet of flowers, featuring the Flower Meadow Colored Printable Image. I printed the Flower Meadow colored image and cut it out using a 5" stitched square die. I added some splatter for extra texture and dimension. I then adhered it to a green mat before attaching it to a soft pink card base. The sentiment is from the Winnie Daisy Greetings set. I absolutely love the convenience of using printable images, especially during the busy holiday season! For more creative inspiration, be sure to follow me on Instagram @crafticarri

Wendy - Hi everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday and you're ready to get those crafty juices flowing again. We have a super fun challenge for you today using simple folds. I've created a dimensional pop-up card using the new Theo Penguin Winter Snow Days bundle. I combined the Snow Slide image with the Colouring Scene Mountains and Glaciers background to create a fun scene for these adorable penguins. I colored everything with my Copic markers, but remember we have pre-colored images as well. Thank you for looking!

Taty - Hi friends, I'm sharing my inspiration for the themed challenge. Thank you. I chose the Dencing Queen of Polkadoodles digital stamp which I colored with watercolors. I imagined the little dancer dancing to the hymn of life as a sign of gratitude. I created a card with the double Z fold, to have the pop-up effect. I placed the phrase of gratitude and flowers in the pop-up fold. The size of the closed card is 4 ¼ x 4 1/4 inches

Merja - I wanted to use this beautiful sunflower paper from Autumn Fall paper pattern 2 set. I added Thankful sentiment and the butterflies from Hearts and Flowers Butterfly 1 & 2 stamp sets. The butterflies are heat embossed and then coloured with alcohol markers. I also added some glitter glue on the blue butterfly before taping the butterflies on the background with foam tape to create some dimension.

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!
