Let's see what the Design Team have created to get you inspired this week!...

Enrica Hi everyone! For my cold project this week I go on using another image from the Octavia Frosted Winter collection... Did you understand that I like it a lot? This time I used the Hot Chocolate together with the Colouring scene Mountains and glaciers digtal stamps, colored with Copic. Her ethereal and icy forest feel is perfect for Winter cards, it's very versatile! Big hugs x

Jenn B I had a blast creating this scene, these images are just so much fun to play with!I started by printing Snow Slide Playing Theo Penguin and the sentiment from the Christmas Greetings Kit on a piece of watercolor paper (I use Microsoft Publisher so I can put the images anywhere close together without overlapping) and then I created my background around the image. I carefully blended Stormy Sky Distress Oxide Ink on the top 3/4 of the paper, leaving some white around the little penguins so they'd pop. I colored with Copics, a white gel pen, and some Fluffy Stuff. I used some die cut snowflakes as accents, coordinating my coloring with the little guy's scarf. Don't you just want to go join them on their sledding adventure?

Sana Today we had the theme for winter. I was being cheeky and used the cute retire snooze gnome digital stamp. For me it was perfect for this theme and i used the Winnie paper pack for the background. I wrote the brrr sentiment. I made a half fold card this time. I think these kind of cards look really elegant for any occasion. Have fun

Revati I created this card around a cute, cozy winter scene that truly captures that bundled-up feeling of a chilly day outside. I began with the Helping Out the Birds digi stamp, printing the image and coloring it with my Ohuhu alcohol markers to bring the scene to life. Once the coloring was complete, I die-cut the image along with the sentiment from the Spring Tons of Love Sentiment stamp set, which I printed at the same time. I used a scalloped frame die to keep the focal point soft and charming. For the background, I chose a beautiful, lightly textured pattern paper from the Lilac Haze Flowers Bundle. To finish the card, I layered the scalloped focal frame over the patterned paper and added a black postage frame. More details on my blog.

Kerri I am sharing a card I made using Digital Paper, Digital Ephemera, and an adorable Digital Image. These two cute Cows are called Love Moo. The Pattern Paper is called Printable Paper set #4 Udderly Cute. The Daisies are from the printable Ephemera. I added a piece of lace in antique white. I colored with Prisma Pencils and Image was printed onto white card stock.Pencils Used: Black, Cool Grey 90, 70, 50, 30, 10 percent, Dark Umber, Light Umber, Sandbar Brown, Ginger Root, Tuscan Red, Crimson Red, Scarlette Red, Blush Pink, Dark Green, Olive Green, Apple Green, Golden.

Judy My inspiration for this week is a winter themed card created with Theo Penguin Cable Car. These cute penguins were colored with Prismacolor pencils and fussy cut. I used papers from Theo Penguin Paper Bundle 3 for the background. The sentiment is from Theo Penguin 109 Winter Christmas/Birthday Greetings Sentiments Bundle. It was printed and die cut with a stitched circle die from my stash, which is placed on top of a snowflake die cut. I cut it with Fancy Snowflake Cutting Die. I added twine and some snowflake gems to complete.

🌟 Gorgeous Inspiration, big thanks to the team! 🌟

Rosanna The cold weather has arrived in Italy too, so we're staying warm in our homes and, after a few stressful days, we're back to work. I've created a new project: the base is a raw wooden heart, which I painted blue with acrylic paints. It measures 13.5 x 15 cm and is 1 cm thick (5.5 x 5.7 inches). I used the PD7125 You're Flying High - Winnie Celebrations 3 digital stamp, which I coloured with Copic markers. I added the word “Love” (Valentine's Day is coming up), clouds and stars in shades of sky blue. To hang it, I used a thin cream-coloured string, and I used the PD8013 Flower Flourish die to make the flowers, which I glued on top, adding a small coloured pearl.

JulieThis bright and cheerful slider card was created especially to celebrate Nikki’s birthday — and it just had to include her favorite pinks and oranges along with a little interactive surprise! With layers of colorful, festive fun and a hidden sliding sentiment tucked inside, this card brings all the happy vibes as you pull to reveal the message. The image —Party Balloon Bunny Rabbit, is colored to match the playful palette and topped off with a few sparkly details. A joyful card with movement, color, and a smile built right in — just the way a birthday card should be! My Blog, Instagram, Facebook

Maria - Nikky’s birthday is coming up soon, and of course that called for a very special card!She loves orange and pink, and slider cards are her absolute favourite – so why not combine all of that in one project? As her birthday is in winter, the choice of theme was an easy one. I immediately thought of the adorable sledding trio from the “Most Wonderful Time” stamp set. In my mind, I could see the three of them happily sliding towards a big pile of presents from the “Pile of Gifts” set – and as you pull the slider, sweet birthday greetings are revealed one by one.For colouring, I used Stabilo Point 88/65, Stampin’ Blends (dark & light Petal Pink, Flirty Flamingo, Pumpkin Pie, Cinnamon Cider, Crumb Cake and SU1000, SU900) as well as Stylefile markers (452, 454, 458, CG0). I added highlights with a Gelly Roll pen, and the fluffy hat was created using puff paint.The slider mechanism itself is very simple – I just cut a channel and mounted everything using foam tape to create dimension for the stripe to pull out.The result is a bright, playful slider card that combines movement, winter magic and birthday cheer – I sure hope, the way Nikky loves it! Here´s my socialmedia: Instagram, Facebook, Youtube

Taty - Hi friends, today I'm sharing a pink and orange slider card. The flower is from the Perfect Peony color collection (DLPD9345), which I printed and precisely cut out to glue to the slider. The sentiment hidden under the flower is from the Spring Flower Mothers Day Friends collection. The sentiment and leaves I stamped on the white cardstock are from the Every Wish photopolymer stamp set. The final card measures 12 x 10 centimeters. As you can see, it's beautiful to combine the various Polkadoodles products; they have wonderful graphics. I hope you have lots of creative fun!

Kim D Today I am sharing this adorable birthday card using Mabel Starry Celebrations. She is perfect for any occasion that is a cause for celebration. I paired her with the Mabel Starry Celebrations paper pack. I colored her with copics and added a sentiment! She is ready for a party.

Rachael Hi everyone. Today I'm sharing this cute little project I made to send to someone special. This is a tiny little MDF embroidery hoop that is SO cute - get it here! I combined a chipboard watering can and stamped using the gorgeous Anemone Stamps and dies - this time, stamping onto the chipboard which is sized to fit if you don't have the dies. A really lovely little make that was super quick and easy. See you again soon!

🌟 Gorgeous Inspiration, big thanks to the team! 🌟
