We are thrilled to welcome Lorraine to the Design Team - we love her makes and know you will adore them too! The lovely Catrin is also back with us after a little while taking a break...welcome to the team ladies, we are SO excited to have you with us!

Lorraine - Hello there! For my first project with the Polkadoodles team I created this card using the Winnie Fairy Wings digi stamp. I coloured her with Copics and Promarkers and added lots of glitter to her fairy wings for sparkle. finished the card with these Pretty Scallop oval dies and made up the foliage using the lovely Poinsettia & Holly Flower Craft Cutting die set. The papers are from the Theo Penguin digital papers set 3 and the sentiment is from the Snow & Sparkles Christmas Holiday Snowman Clear stamps.
Copics used - E25, E29, R59 G29
Promarkers used - Lipstick red, cardinel red, Burgundy, Ruby, Oatmeal, blush, Coral, Leaf green, Meadow green, holly.,
Also used Pretty Scallop Ovals - PD 9198
Poinsettia & Holly Flower Craft Cutting die set PD9052

Catrin : Hello! It's great to be back on the team. Today I have used Tim Holtz Spun Sugar distress oxide and then used the Christmas Trees Layering Stencil and the Sugared Pink Butter Frosting texture paste to add texture to the card. I cut the larger snowflake from the Sparkling snowflakes die set.
I printed and fussy cut the Winne White Christmas Lantern digi stamp and coloured with Promarkers: Hat and Cloak: Sky Blue, Duck Egg,Cool Aqua, Ivory and OatmealDress: Pale Pink and Pink Mittens Lantern: Cool grey 6 5 and 3. I'd love you to follow my social media so I can also follow you back!

Renske - Hello everyone! For this Christmas card, I combined the Rudolph Reindeer Wreath digital stamp with the Christmas Greetings Quote Sentiments and Elvis Wesley Moose themed papers. I coloured the elf and reindeer with Ohuhu alcohol markers and created a double-sided envelope pocket using two coordinating digital papers. The pocket holds a little North Pole Special Delivery tag, making the card extra special. For the background, I used a textured wallpaper sample to create a snowy winter feel. I finished the card by letting the coloured image overlap the envelope, adding dimension and bringing all the elements together. I hope you like it. Happy Crafting!

Revati - Hello again! For this holiday card, I used the Cute Christmas Penguins digi stamp, but gave them a fun twist by coloring them bright yellow instead of traditional penguin shades, completely inspired by Tweety Bird! To keep the focus on these cheerful little characters, I went with a clean and simple layout paired with two sentiments from the Christmas Greetings digi stamp set. While it’s hard to catch fully in the photo, I finished off the design by adding Glossy Accents to their cozy winter hats and dusting on some white glitter for the perfect festive sparkle.

Ana - Hi friends! I've been wanting to do a little mixed media lately, so for this week's Polkadoodles project I created this sweet (and super cute!) autumn card featuring Winnie Autumn Wishes!
I played with this collection a few weeks ago make a card sketch. I loved how it turned out and loved even more that it received such lovely engagement on my socials, with a handful of people commenting on how cute it was, so of course, I had to play with Winnie Autumn Wishes again.
This card is actually really quick and easy to put together. I started with patterned paper for the background, added a layer of gauze for texture, tucked in my colored Winnie digi stamp, and added few floral embellishments and a sentiment. Those simple mixed media elements add just enough interest to make the card feel extra special without taking a lot of time.
If you'd like to recreate this card, you'll find a step-by-step tutorial over on my blog HERE!
Thanks so much for stopping by today! If you make this card or are inspired to create your own mixed media project, I'd love to see it. Don't forget to follow me on Instagram, Facebook, and my blog for more cardmaking inspiration, tutorials, and crafty fun!

Nelly - This week for my DT card I’ve chosen to use a Winnie printable from Polkadoodles. Isn’t she super cute holding all those gifts? I added a pocket to the front of the card so I had the perfect place to tuck in some tags for a birthday surprise. I left the backs of the tags blank too, so the recipient can reuse them afterwards – a little extra gift in itself! I hope you like this card!

Thanks so much to the design team for their gorgeous inspiration this week - wow!

So let's see what the team have made for you this week - of course it's all about

HALLOWEEN!

Hello, Rachael here with the some warm and cosy Autumn inspiration. Check out Winnie, I want to join here at this cute picnic. I coloured her with Ohuhu markers and added fine details and shading with Polychromos pencils. After fussy cutting her out, I used dies from the Winter Botanical Bits (Sparkling Christmas collection) and a banner sentiment at the bottom to cover up where I had cut her out. I think this made it look more finished. Add this to a textured background and the project is finished!

Julie - This little Halloween treat box started with a piece of colored cardstock and a little magic. A few simple cuts and score lines, some folding, a dab of glue and—abracadabra!—we have a box! Add some Creepy Halloween printable paper, an adorable little ghost, and a sentiment from Ghastly Ghosts and it’s ready for your favorite trick-or-treaters. Visit The Paper Artist blog for the full magic spell—including the dimensions, instructions, and a few spooky secrets to make these treat holders quick and easy to create.

Maria- It’s finally spooky season, and that means one of my favourite excuses to sit down at my craft table. One thing I absolutely love is transforming existing stamps so they look like they’re dressed up for Halloween. This time, the adorable Shining Star - Winnie Heavenly Clear Stamp set got her spooky makeover — on my card she’s dressed as a little bat!I coloured her with alcohol markers and Polychromos pencils, and gave her two cute bat ears to complete the costume. If you look closely, you’ll also spot a tiny spider dropping down near her eye. I added highlights with a white gel pen to bring everything to life.To make the background perfectly eerie, I blended purple, light green, and dark blue inks together. Then I applied silver paste through the Night Stars stencil for that magical, shimmering night‑sky effect.Wishing you all a Happy Halloween — may your crafting be spooky, sweet, and full of fun!

So let's see what the team have made for you this week!

Renske - Hello Everyone! I had so much fun making this autumn birthday card with the Polkadoodles Apple Barrel Autumn Fall Fox digital stamp.I coloured Freddy with my Alcohol markers in autumn colours. For the background I used a warm Distress Ink palette. I adde the inks with a blending brush and added splatters. I coloured the leaves with distress inks and water. . I wanted to add a little surprise, so I made a slider mechanism that lets Freddy pop up from behind the pumpkin when you pull the tab. I finished the card with a sentiment from the Polkadoodles Everyday Sentiments and Quotes set, cutting the words apart and arranging them playfully around the main image. I love how the finished card combines a cosy autumn feel with a fun interactive element. Hope you like it too. Happy Crafting

Revati - For this project, I wanted the Halloween Trick or Treat digi sentiment to take center stage as my main focal point, so I paired it with a couple of sweet pumpkins from the Autumn Fall Digi Stamp set peeking out from behind. After printing the images onto white cardstock, I brought them to life with my Ohuhu alcohol markers and fussy cut them out with scissors before adhering them over a soft, patterned orange backdrop printed from the Autumn Fall Digi Paper set. To tie the whole spooky theme together, I finished off the design by scattering a fun mix of black bat and iridescent star sequins all around the central panel for a little dimensional magic!

Liz - Hello again! Today I'm sharing this MDF House which is part of the MDF Journals Kit. I LOVE the way the numbers are cut into the roof area! I used my go-to Stone/Brick stencil to create lots of texture with some stencil paste and then added die cuts from the Chamomile Flower Dies and Winter Botanical Bits dies (definitely not just winter!). To finish I added the toadstools which are also in the MDF kit, make sure you check it out, if you love journaling you will LOVE this MDF set, there are 3 journal covers included and pieces to decorate with, it's fab! 

Nelly - Hello! This week myself and the team have made projects with Autumn in mind! This card was made using the Hello Autumn clipart, its so easy bring you images into whatever program you use and print, cut them out, arrange on a card and go! Perfect for the last minute cards. The backing papers are from Paper Set 2 in the same collection - there are some BEAUTIFUL papers in this download kit, make sure you take a look if you love downloads! 

Enrica - this week I've made this Autumn card using a digi stamp called Squirrel & Bear Acorns from the Hello Autumn collection. This has been a real favourite since it was released in September, the images are adorable and it has gorgeous papers included too. See you next time!
