Let's see the inspiration from the team - we've been creating lots of gorgeous projects for you... 

Today we're thrilled to welcome Carrianne to the design team - we look forward to sharing her amazing projects with you all - welcome Carrianne!

Carrianne - For my first challenge, I had to choose between an Autumn or alloween card. I chose Halloween, as I love scary things. I have created a cute, not-so-scary card featuring the Mummy Boo Halloween digital image. The sentiment is from Halloween Trick or Treat Printable Greetings. I colored the image with Copic markers and then cut it out using my Scan N Cut machine. The background was created with distress oxide inks using the smooshing technique. I finished the card with purple sequins.

Copics used:

Skin: E000-00-11-02

Mummy: W3-2-1, BV000

Hair: C6-5-3

Julie - Halloween - My most favorite theme to create cards for! Today’s design team card is crafted to resemble an eerie tombstone using an arched die and a few quick snips with scissors for the card bottom. The mystical background is blended with spooky ink tones, a touch of metallic splatter and hints of ghostly whispers. A chilling haunted house looms in the foreground - Polkadoodles Spooky House. I colored in the windows with yellow tones and clear embossed the house to create the sinister glow of the house in the darkness. Creepy bats and tattered tombstones were included in the Spooky House download and were perfect for adding an unsettling charm to the scene. The bottom of the tombstone card reads “Happy Halloween” - one of the many sentiments from Ghastly Ghost Printables. I can’t wait to send out this ghostly greeting! My Instagram/Facebook

Rachael - For this weeks challenge my inspiration is using one of the cool gnomes from the recent release called Autumn gnome trick or treat  I love the sentiments and papers in this pack too they are all perfect together !

Kim Simpson - For this week’s challenge, I made another Halloween card, this time using the oh-so-adorable Mummy Boo digital stamp.   I loved coloring up this cutie with Copics and layering it up with some fun digital papers!  I just love this image so much!  How about you?

Gaby - For this slimline card I used Flower fairy sitting on a toadstool digital stamp and Winnie Daisy greetings, quotes and sentiments. This illustration it´s perfect for autumn cards. 

Ana - I love the Halloween period of the year! For my project this week I have chosen Witch Broomstick Halloween Gnome digital stamp and fantastic Halloween Trick or Treat printable papers. I made a shaker card and I hope you like it!

Wendy - Hi everyone! It's finally here - Halloween month! I just love this holiday. Halloween cards are some of the most fun to create. For this challenge, I used the Autumn/Fall Halloween Treat Bundle to create this fun shaped card, and colored it with my Copic markers. It was so much fun to make. Thank you for looking!

Merja - I used Isadora Witch image and coloured her with alcohol markers (and some white gel pen) before fussy cutting her. Then I cut the crystal ball with the Snow Globe die and coloured it with Distress Inks and white gel pen. I also used Starry Nights stencil with gold glitter paste to bring some more magical feeling. The base of the crystal ball is die cut from black cardstock and I added some white details with white gel pen and white paint pen. When the crystall ball was ready I taped Isadora on it with foam tape and added a Hocus Pocus sentiment from Boo Halloween Sentiment bundle.

Let's see the inspiration from the team - we've been creating lots of gorgeous projects for you... 

Judy: The design team was asked to create an October birthday card for this week's challenge. So, I thought one of the images from the Zodiac Collection would be perfect!

I, myself, have an October birthday and I'm a Libra, so I used Libra Digital Stamp. My background was done with inking and the Starry Nights Stencil. The sentiment was printed from the Birthday Sentiments & Greetings. I fussy cut before adding to the card. 3 pearls were added to complete my design. I hope you like it!

Renske - Hello everyone! This time, we were asked to make an October birthday card. I used the adorable Cupcake Autumn Fall Foxdigital stamp, which truly captures the spirit of fall. I combined this charming image with elements from the Nuts About You clear stamp set and the Fall Greetings sentiment set for a delightful finishing touch. I created a fall wreath from the leaves, mushrooms, and an acorn, perfect for a birthday celebration in autumn. I hope this card inspires you to get creative with these products and join the fun! Happy Crafting

ENRICA - Hi everyone! For my birthday project this week I’ve made a simple shaker card using the super cute Flower Fairy holding a toadstool balloon - Winnie Daisy Fairy digital stamp, colored with Copic, and just added a sentiment from the Winnie Daisy greetings, quotes and sentiments set. Such a cutie doesn’t need to add more, don’t you think so?

Christine- Hi everyone, I have made a birthday card using this lovely Cherry Cream Cupcake that I colored with my copic markers. This is the perfect stamp for birthdays all year around. The pattern paper is from the Pretty Winnie Daisy digital paper collection. These papers are so soft, pretty and versatile as backgrounds for cards. My IG: CKN Design_craft

Copic Colors I used are:

Ising: R85-83-81, RV000

Cherry: R59.38,29,24,20 and white gel pen

Cupcake: E37-35-33-31

Wrapper: G99, YG67-63-03

Irre - Hello, for this challenge I created a tag with the digital stamp Milkshake drink Rebel. Of course, I colored her with Copic alcohol markers like I always do. For the tag, I covered it with one of the papers from the digital pack Winnie Starfish/sandcastles paper 8. Then, I used different stamps, a stencil with modeling paste and embossing powder, and art stones that I colored with watercolors. I added a net behind Rebel, added a pink ribbon, and used one of the sentiments from Rebel snip messages strips pack. After that, I added my stamp to the tag with a net underneath it. I also decorated the tag with some art stones that I colored with watercolors. Finally, I added a pink ribbon to the tag. Have a crafty day! My Instagram: @scrapbyirre

Let's see the inspiration from the team - we've been creating lots of gorgeous projects for you... 

Julie Nagle - Today’s design team project is a festive holiday card featuring a coffee mug with a hidden pocket - perfect for tucking in a gift card. The card starts with a free Polkadoodles mug template. I added a beautiful pre colored image Winnie White Christmas - Shopping to the front of the coffee cup (which doubles as a gift card holder). A holiday sentiment adds Christmas cheer to the coffee cup. 2 printable holiday papers and a glimpse of a popular Christmas carol complete the background. Seasonal foliage was the perfect embellishment for this card front. All of the products used were included in the Winnie White Christmas Printable Collection. How excited will the card recipient be when they find a coffee shop gift card in the mug? If you want to know more, follow my Instagram & Facebook.

Wendy - Hi everyone! Who's ready for Christmas projects? I've recently discovered Memorydex cards and it's been so much fun creating them. These types of cards are on the smaller side, and the precolored images that Polkadoodles offers are so much easier than trying to color tiny places. I used the Time To Give - coloured image from the Winnie White Christmas Big Kahuna Bundle. I used some of the beautiful papers to create the Memorydex envelope base, the pre-colored image to add a card to the inside of the envelope and one of the adorable toppers to create a magnetic envelope seal.

Merja - I got an idea of a Christmas tea cup card/gift combination. I used the background paper, cute penguin and sentiment from Winnie White Christmas big kahuna and a cup from Cactus Cup (I just cut the cactus part away). I coloured the cup with Distress Inks and a metallic gold brush pen. The penguin is precoloured but I added a little more colour to it with alcohol markers. The sentiment part is also coloured with Distress Inks and then taped over a tea bag. After everything was coloured I taped the cup to the background so that the tea bag fits there perfectly and comes out when you pull the tea bag string upwards. Great card/little gift for a tea lover 😊

Rachael - Hi everyone. I wanted to make a card that looks really complicated but is actually simple and easy to make, especially for mass production. There are loads of shaped and interactive dies out there, so why not use them with one of our kits such as this one called Winnie White Christmas. These have all the coloured images, and backing papers meaning you don't have to worry about colouring or matching the colours. Print, cut and stick, for the most stunning card that looks like it took hours to make!
