Today we are saying a big WELCOME to Terri & Patricia who are joining the team! Make sure you follow them on Social Media for all their inspiration!
Terri - Hello crafty peeps, its Terri here and I am delighted to have joined the Polkadoodles Design Team! I adore colouring (with lots of mediums but usually Copics and Coloured pencils) and for my first project I had so much fun combining the Vintage car Winnie Daisy Fairy Digi Stamp with the Garden river Country Scene background and colouring it up with Prismacolour Premier coloured pencils. As well as building up the colours with lots of light layers, when I had enough pigment down, I also used a blender pencil to create an even smoother blend.
The scene I created is approx 5.5 x 6 inches and would look great matted and layered onto a card front, with "Bon Voyage" stamped on it...however I decided to turn it into the cover of an inexpensive A5 notebook. I added a "Memories" sentiment from my stash, as I thought it would be lovely to use as a travel journal, but without having to make an actual journal or memory book (although it could be incorporated into a larger memory book if you wanted too. I hope you enjoy my first bit of inspiration and can't wait to bring you more! Stay Crafty, Terri xx
Patricia - Today I’m excited to share this cute Golf Themed Shaker tag, perfect for Father’s Day or any special occasion. I used the “Gnome Men Golf” digital set, which is so cute and so much fun to color! I went with a shaker design, adding a window filled with sequins in gold, green, and aqua for a fun, sparkly effect. I used my Copics maker to color the gnome and golf cart, with special attention to details like the mustache and golf clubs. For my background, I used one of the geometric teal patterned paper from Spring Gnomes pattern papers that pairs perfectly. I finished it off with a yellow satin ribbon and the sentiment Best Dad Ever from Men sentiment collection from Polkadoodles.
Tips:I use acetate for my shaker window.
Mix different sequin sizes for added movement and dimension.
I had so much fun creating this Shaker Tag- and it will be perfect add on for my Father’s Day gift. I'm thrilled to join this wonderful creative family and I hope this project inspires you as much as I enjoyed making it. See you in the next post, Patricia
Rachael - Hello! Happy Saturday and Happy challenge day! Today I"m sharing a couple of cards I made with the new Bee gnome printable stamps - I love this collection, it's so cute!
Julie - Life is Better In Flip Flops - It truly is. Flip Flops remind me of the beach and so does this flip floppy card. The card opens and flips into an easel type card for display, while the sentiment Starfish/Sandcastle Quotes and a sparkly pair of flip flops hold the card in place. Featuring a beachy image from Polkadoodles - Building Sandcastles. With a backdrop of ocean themed pattern paper from Winnie Sandcastle Pattern Paper pack 9. The sandcastle, pail, shovel and umbrella (Winnie Starfish Embellishments) were added with extra dimension to create playful fun for this vacation card. I finished the card off with glossy accents on Winnie’s sunglasses, some actual sand sprinkled on the beach, and a layer of glitter pen for the umbrella shining in the sun. Vacation mode set!!

Rachael - I am a sucker for a teddy bear so I just adore this cute bear from the Party Time release - this is a not so mini, mini release that's perfect for Birthday celebration cards and projects, love it...
