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

Today we are welcoming new Design Team member Sana – please follow her social media for all her lovely inspiration! Welcome to the team Sana! 💕

Sana I have made a really cute envelope for any occasion – you can also use it for junk journaling or scrapbooking. So-o many memories to keep! Here I have used Nature’s Beauty – a beautiful coloured Digi image with the sentiment which comes with it. The background paper for the envelope is from Helga the Hippo. The envelope size is 7 3/8 inches on both sides and I made it using an envelope maker. It’s the easiest project you can work on! The paper backgrounds are just so gorgeous in real life with vibrant colours. I did do some shading on the Beauty image with Distress Watercolor Pencils to make the image look more realistic. You don't have to if you don't want to – the coloured image is beautiful as it is!

Enrica  Hello! Today I am sharing these 3 cute tags using the lovely Rebel collection. I used the colours from the main bundle as my inspiration because all the papers are so lovely! See you next time!

Jenn B  I used 2 papers from the Winnie Sunshine Delights 6x6 paper pack, and I die-cut a crescent moon from the same paper. I used one of the cute witches & sentiments from the Hocus Pocus Witches Halloween set, coloured with Copics and fussy cut before attaching with foam dimensional tape.

Revati  Hello, crafty friends! Today I’m sharing a sweet and cheerful birthday card that just radiates summer vibes. I used the Butterfly Flowerpot Bundle digi stamp to create a vibrant scene filled with bright blooms and an adorable little butterfly. Coloured with my Spectrum Noir TriBlend Markers and enhanced with a touch of sparkle from a glitter brush pen, this card is full of colour and charm. The sentiment – “Sending Birthday Wishes” – comes from the Alcea Hollyhock Flowers digi stamp set, which also includes lovely coordinating papers and playful sentiments. To tie it all together, I mounted the panel on a bright yellow patterned paper from the Spring to Easter Printable Paper collection for an extra pop of sunshine. More details on my blog.

Renske: For this challenge, I created a tunnel card with a full 3D scene using the Toadstool Lily Ladybug digital stamp. I printed the image to fit inside the smallest tunnel layer and coloured it with alcohol markers. The background was ink-blended with Distress Inks to create soft grassy hills and a sky. I added extra details using die-cut grass, leaves, flowers, and a butterfly to complete the scene. The layers are built with foam tape to give the card depth and dimension. Hope you like it. Happy Crafting!

Judy - This week's inspiration card was created with the Birthday Celebration Party Bundle. I coloured the cake digi with Prismacolor Pencils and fussy cut it. One of the patterned papers was used on the top part of the card. The tag digi from the printables included in the bundle was printed and coloured. I printed one of the sentiments included in the bundle onto the tag. The tag was fussy cut and added to ribbon and a bow. Pearls were added for a finishing touch.

 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!

Natalia - I decorated this lovely journal cover with the new MDF Journal kit - I can't believe you get 3 journals, they are gorgeous! This one has 3 layers to it so it has a lot of dimension and will be great to gift...

Julie - This Father’s Day Gift Bag started out with one of my favorite Polkadoodles paper packs - Gnome Fishing Printable Paper. I used one pattern for the gift bag and a 2nd paper to create the trim around the top of the bag, then added some coordinating ribbon for handles. This gift bag needed something else… A tag of course! I used more of the pattern papers from this pack to create an adorable gift tag featuring images from the Fishing Gnome Bundle and a “Reel-y” cute sentiment included in the Gnome Men Greetings. I’m loving that super glossy fish! Visit my blog for all of the details to create this super fun bag & tag. Follow my Instagram & Facebook....

Carrianne - Hi friends! I’m excited to share my latest Polkadoodles Design Team project! This week’s challenge was to create a Father’s Day gift—but not a card, so I made a bookmark for my dad, who loves mystery thrillers and golf. He tends to crease his book pages (which drives me a little crazy), so this Golf Gnome bookmark is a perfect double win—fun, useful, and totally him! It's a tee-rific way to mark his place! For more creative inspiration, be sure to follow me on Instagram @crafticarri

Taty - Hello creative friends! My DT inspiration for the new Father's Day themed challenge is an explosion box, perfect for giving a tie, a belt, chocolates or whatever you want. To decorate this box I used the digital stamp BBQ, Chef, Cook Gnome For Men which I printed in 2 sizes, a small one for the inside and a larger one for the lid of the box. The images are colored with Prismacolor pencils. I added embellishments such as hearts, kitchen tools and the phrase “Happy Father’s Day”.

Rachael - I LOVE all the new Polkadoodles MDF and chipboard! I have to admit it's always been a bit out of my comfort zone but I am embracing it fully and am now completely addicted! This is a set of journal covers (you get 3 different ones) and I've painted it then added papers, the amazing Green Fingers chipboard and some lace and dies, this is all for me, me me!

Nikky - I made this mixed media card using our new Honey Bee dreams digital collection and teamed it up with some MDF and chipboard from the new Honey Bee Farm MDF craft kit - I LOVE this kit so much! 

and this co-ords with this amazing Home is Where the Heart is MDF kit too - so cute!

Enrica - Hi crafty friends! For my sunshine themed card this week I’ve colored with Ohuhu markers the sweet Flower Fairy on a Scooter digital stamp and paired it with the Garden river Country Scene background. Winnie is just adorable riding her motorbike and relaxing in this sunny day! Big hugs xx

Jenn B - The background papers are from the Paper Patterns 4: Winnie Daisy Fairy bundle - I printed Sunbathing Days Theo Penguin out on Neenah cardstock, colored with Copics, and used a die cut frame to nest inside another die cut frame. I added some Cottontail Flock to the trim on his hat and Fluffy Stuff to the snow/snowballs. I added a die cut sun from the same yellow paper I used for the mat. Peace.

Revati - Hello, crafty friends! Today, I’m excited to share a beautifully simple scene I created using the Gardening Lily Ladybug digi stamp. I paired it with a cheerful yellow patterned paper from the Spring to Easter Printable Paper collection and added a sweet sentiment—“Let Your Dreams Blossom”—from the Winnie Daisy Messages Digi Stamp. I thought it complemented the adorable little ladybug perfectly! To finish it off, I added a soft ray of sunshine behind her, tying everything together in a bright, uplifting theme. For more details, visit my blog.

Renske - For this challenge, I created a bright summer card featuring the Winnie Summer Dreams digital stamp and a sentiment from the Spring Flower Mother's Day Friends greetings set. I coloured the image with alcohol markers and fussy cut it for layering. The background was made using a sunbeams stencil with Distress Ink blending in warm yellow shades. I added depth with die-cut grass inked in green tones, then finished the card by adding extra elements like butterflies and flowers from the main image. The result is a cheerful card that's perfect for sending sunshine and smiles. Happy Crafting.

Judy: This week's inspiration project is a card created with Toadstool Mushroom Winnie Daisy Fairy. I colored the image with Prismacolor Pencils and fussy cut. The background paper is from Winnie Daisy Fairy Paper Patterns 4. A frame was created by cutting the center of white card stock to let the background paper show through. The sentiment from Winnie Daisy Fairy Everyday Greetings and Quotes was printed and trimmed to a banner. I added some butterflies created with a punch.
