Cozy Christmas new release:

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

Natalia - Hello, crafters, and welcome back to the Polkadoodles blog! Today’s project is all about creating a card with high impact - focusing on luxurious texture, rich shimmer, and a refreshing take on Christmas colours. I loved combining some of my favourite Polkadoodles essentials to bring this festive scene to life! We're exploring a beautiful, tactile background for this Christmas card! I used the versatile Leafy Stencil to create a stunning, intricate pattern on a vibrant blue base. This background is then generously highlighted with the gorgeous Gold Stencil Butter. The metallic paste settles beautifully, emphasizing the texture and creating a sophisticated, shimmering contrast with the cool blue tones. This base immediately gives the card an elegant, upscale feel.

The stunning layered flower at the centre is created using the amazing Dotty Poinsettia Die. This multi-layered die is perfect for adding incredible dimension to your floral elements. I chose to colour the petals in soft, smoky pinks and purples, giving the traditional Christmas flower a fresh, modern twist.

The resulting flower is a beautiful, eye-catching focal point that stands proud against the textured background. To complete the holiday scene, the Holly Berry Die brings in essential deep green accents, beautifully framing the central poinsettia. The pops of vibrant red from the berries and the simple "CHRISTMAS WISHES" sentiment tie the entire elegant design together. I love how combining beautiful texture with non-traditional colours can result in a truly unique holiday creation!

If you'd like to see the full creative process for making this card, you can find the video tutorial on the official Polkadoodles YouTube channel as well as on my personal channel, NataliaKuzakArt. What is your favourite Polkadoodles stencil for creating a rich, textured background? Let us know in the comments below!

Enrica - Hi crafty friends! Do you realize that Christmas is just over a month away? For my Christmas card this week I colored with Copic the cute Snow mail Theo Penguin digital stamp, together with the Colouring scene 1 Christmas printable craft card making coloring page for the background.

Hope you like this sweet snowy scene!

Jenn B - I really enjoyed making this card and I knew what I wanted to do with it the second I saw the Boy Gingerbread Cookiedigi! I knew I wanted to use him in coordination with a clear stamp set that I have that includes a mixing bowl and utensils. The papers are from the Christmas Paper Patterns 2 paper pack. I paper pieced the bowl, colored the gingerbread boy & utensils with Copics, fussy cut and attached with foam dimensional tape.

Revati- There’s something so special about working with pre-colored digi stamps — they’re perfect for quick projects and also serve as a great guide for adding your own shading and dimension.For this card, I chose the adorable Bella Bear Bauble Digi Stamp featuring a sweet little bear with a Christmas tree and ornament. Although the image came pre-colored, I enhanced it further using my Ohuhu alcohol markers — deepening the reds on Bella’s hat and brightening those rosy pink cheeks. A few white gel pen highlights added extra sparkle and brought the image to life.To complete the look, I added a tiny red cardstock bow to Bella’s hat and a Christmas Sentiment below the focal image, using the Christmas Sentiment Digi Stamp set. I framed the panel with a postage-style border, mounted it on a bright red card base, and finished it off with a touch of festive sequin mix for some extra holiday cheer. A clean, cheerful, and heartwarming card — perfect for spreading joy this Christmas season. More details on my blog.

Renske- When I think of Christmas colours, I think of green, red, and white. So that is what I worked with. I used the digital stamp "Escape Gingerbread Holley"for this. I coloured it with my alcohol markers. For the background, I used kraft paper with a wood grain texture, and at the bottom a plaid design paper from the Elvis Wesly Moose themed paper set. I completed the card with the text "Have a Jolly Christmas" from the Gingerbread Holley Sentiment set. Hopefully, this has inspired you again. Happy Crafting.

Judy: My inspiration project for this week is an ornament shaped card with Christmas colors. Red, green and gold are classic Christmas colors, in my opinion, so thats what I used. The ornament shape is die cut out of red glitter and a gold foil card stocks. I die cut a smaller circle shape for the card center. The poinsettias and sentiment were stamped from the Wonderful Christmas 4 x 8 Stamp Set. I colored the poinsettias with Prismacolor pencils. Gold "gem look" trim was added to complete my design.
