As always, lot's going on here, so let's see the inspiration from the team for this week - this is our last challenge of 2025!

Maria - Even Winter Birthdays Deserve a Little Magic!
Of course, Polkadoodles has the perfect images for winter birthdays too! I mean, what else would you call these adorable little creatures from the Snowball Kisses set? I’m absolutely in love with them!
I coloured them again using my trusty Polychromos pencils (numbers 108, 113, 115, 132, 151, 154, 156, 187, 223, 233, 235) and added a few highlights with a white Gelly Roll pen.
To give the background a more playful look, I layered several pieces of patterned paper, added a little banner, and doodled around the edges. And hey – of course, I couldn’t resist adding a few polkadots! I just can’t craft without them. Here's my instagram, facebook and YouTube - I'd love to follow you back!



Rosanna - Hello creative friends! It's Saturday again, the day of this wonderful team. Today is dedicated to birthday wishes. I used a digital stamp that I really like, I find it joyful and cheerful. How much joy is there in that girl in jeans jumping for happiness? Do you like it? It's the digital stamp Jump for Joy. I used a die to make cloud-shaped edges and vellum paper with delicate white dots. I then made some white hearts that I used at the bottom, while near the girl, I left the vellum visible underneath. It was coloured with Copic markers. I hope you liked it, big hugs.



Julie - Happy Friday, friends! Today’s project is all about keeping things cool — literally! I created this frosty Iceman Snowman Birthday Card using one of the gorgeous printable winter backgrounds from Polkadoodles, paired with a few extra hand-colored ice blocks for added chill. The shimmery icicles at the top add the perfect frosty sparkle, while our cheerful snowman steals the show, glistening with a touch of Stickles and a smooth coat of clear glaze to bring those icy details to life. It’s the perfect mix of cute and cool — and a fun reminder that winter birthdays deserve a little shimmer too! My Blog, Instagram, Facebook



Taty - Hi friends, I'm sharing my DT inspiration for this challenge. I created a happy birthday card using the Birthday Mouse color image. After printing, I cut the square with a die with irregular edges and embossed two sides with a grid pattern. The phrase is part of the Winnie Celebrations 1 sentiments collection.

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.

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

Maria - Not a card - nothing easier than that, especially when I get to wrap up these adorable little gnomes! And what could be more perfect for the job than the wonderful Let’s Go set? The matching sentiment comes from the Christmas Fishes set. First, I designed a triangle box in the right size and decorated it with that beautiful Oval Trellis die, which makes it look just like a delicate doily, doesn’t it? I colored my image with Polychromos pencils (numbers: 103, 108, 118, 121, 130, 131, 132, 140, 145, 146, 152, 153, 154, 155, 199, 217, 225, 230, 232, 234, 247, 270, 271, 272).As always, I added my little Polka Dots — I just can’t finish a project without them!I hope you like my little goodie as much as I do! Here's my Instagram, Facebook and Youtube.


Liz - How fabulous is this 3D Forever Angel MDF kit, she looks fantastic coloured up in Christmas colours but I think she also makes a great gift for a special Birthday too! The skin and hair is coloured with Zig markers, the dress is acrylic with a thin layer of white pan pastel over the top and I used a little of the gorgeous Ocean Sparkles stencil butter on her wings. The metallic effects are some Metallic water paints from my stash - hope you like her! Please give me a follow on Instagram and Facebook, I'd love to follow you back too!

Julie - When it comes to Christmas prep, I love keeping things quick, cheerful, and handmade — which is exactly why I chose to create these festive tags for my Design Team project! I started by printing a sheet of the gorgeous ornaments from Winnie Winterland Embelies and pairing them with the beautiful coordinating pattern papers — from the Winnie Winterland collection. After that, it’s just trimming the paper to desired tag size, layering the precolored images with foam tape for dimension, and tying on a ribbon or two for that festive sparkle. A light splatter of white or gold paint gives that magical finish we all love. It’s such an easy, fun-filled way to dress up gifts and share a little handmade magic this season. Visit my Blog for a full print then cut tutorial to create these tags.

Taty - Christmas is approaching, it's time for preparations, and with the colorful digital image of Winnie Winterland, I decorated a little box for giving cookies or chocolates. I printed the image in color and cut it out precisely. For embellishments, I added the poinsettia from the same collection and the chipboard lettering. I used Velcro to close the box. Have fun, have some creative fun!


Rosanna- Hello creative friends! Time flies and it's Saturday again, the day our team makes its presentations. Once again, I used a quick and easy digital stamp: the charming hot air balloon with an extra sweet kitten looking at the world from above. Do you like it? It's the Jasper Hot Air Balloon” digital stamp. It has been coloured with Copic markers, and I added clouds of different sizes and various embellishments. Don't be fooled by the photo, this is not a small tag, but I made this project with two oval dies measuring 16 x 12 cm (6.5 x 4.8 inches). At the top, I added a small white lucky bell.
I hope you enjoyed this, big hugs. - Rosanna
