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

Liz - Today I'm sharing an MDF project I made using the brand new Merry & Bright Wonky House MDF kit which is part of the newest Snow & Sparkles Christmas release which launched this week on Hobbymaker TV. This kit is fab! There are so many pieces and it's really versatile, you can either use it as a decoration or make it into a journal cover or add all the pieces to other things like cards and signs. I loved making this, it's just my style - wonky LOL! 

Nelly - It’s Saturday craftaday! This week I have made another Halloween card! The background design paper is from a Polkadoodles Autumn digital paper bundle and has some delicious autumnal/halloween papers that you can just print and go! The Manny monster digi came pre coloured which helps with those fast cards and glued some googly eyes for a softer character lol! the pumpkin and bats are from a stamp/die set called Happy Howloween and you can find the items below! Have a happy craft day!

Renske - Hello everyone! For this autumn card, I used the Polkadoodles Apple Barrel Autumn Fall Fox digital stamp as the main focal point. I coloured Freddy and his apple barrel with my Ohuhu alcohol markers. To create a fun falling-leaves effect, I cropped the oak and oval leaves from the same digital stamp, printed them in different sizes and coloured them to match the original image. I created the warm background by blending Distress Inks onto white cardstock. To finish the card I used the “Oh happy day” sentiment from the Polkadoodles Gnome Men Sentiments set. I added the leaves at different heights with foam tape to give the card extra dimension and a playful autumn feel. Hope you like it. Happy Crafting.

Liz - I'm here again! I made this classic Noel card for Christmas, created with the awesome Noel text die sets from the Sparkling Christmas collection. It comes with two separate dies for you, so you can create a border around in a different colour or cardstock as I have done here. I used gold Mirri card for the outer die with a mat red in the smaller dies and also used the Gold Mirri for the delicate Ivy leaves and red for the berries which are from the Winter Botanical Bits dies.

Revati - Fall crafting is in full swing, and today I’m sharing a cozy, spooky card featuring the adorable Pumpkin Autumn Fall Fox digi stamp as my star focal point! I printed the cute critter onto white cardstock, brought him to life with vibrant blending using my Ohuhu alcohol markers, and carefully fussy cut him out with scissors. For the background, I paired patterned paper from the Halloween/Autumn digi Paper pack—featuring a sweet orange polka dot print—and digitally printed the Happy Halloween sentiment straight from the Halloween Trick or Treat digi set directly onto it. To wrap everything together with a festive finish, I popped my fox onto the card and scattered a mix of black and orange sequins around him for the perfect touch of Halloween sparkle!

Enrica - Hi crafty friends! I don't know about you, but after a scorching summer like the one that just ended, I really can't wait for autumn to arrive. I love the warm colors and the crisp morning air—though I’m a little less fond of raking up the leaves in the garden! For this week’s card, I colored the stunning Autumn Market Stall scene using Copic markers. Did I stop there? Absolutely not, the Hello Autumn collection has so many wonderful images that I also added the adorable Cute Bear & Mouse in a Pumpkin Car digi too. Big hugs, Enrica x

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

Liz - The weather has turned cooler so time to craft! Christmas is coming so I created a star shaped card, then decorated it with the fabulous Sparkling wreath and stars dies. I die cut it out of gold mirri card, even though the die is so fine and it cut so well first time through the mirri card. 
On the kraft card base I added some stars with the Night stars stencil using some of the fabulous Sunbeam Shimmer stencil butter/. Once it was dry I built up the card using the wreath and the Sweet Poinsettia die which I cut from white mixed media cardstock, sprayed with festive berries oxide distress spray, then highlighted areas when dry with Lumberjack Plaid oxide distress ink. I adhered this in place on my card, simply adding some of the Winter Botanical Bits dies here and there around the Poinsettia, to create a classic looking Christmas card.

Maria - This week’s challenge theme is Food and Drink, and since I urgently needed a few birthday cards, it felt only natural to choose the best kind of food: birthday cake and muffins! The adorable treats come from the Big Birthday Surprise stamp set. I coloured them with alcohol markers and added highlights with a white gel pen to make everything pop.
Of course, I wanted to showcase the matching Birthday Fun paper as well, so I decided on a split triangle card design to really let those patterns shine. I stamped the sweet little bunting from the same stamp set onto the cardstock for extra detail. A sentiment from the set and a few Polka Dots 3D enamel dots embellishments as accents — and just like that, I ended up with two wonderfully cheerful cards guaranteed to make someone’s day. Crafty, colourful, and full of birthday joy! Products I used:

Julie - I kept this card simple and let the fun fall details do the work! I started with two strips of patterned paper from Freddy Fox Paper 3, matted them on coordinating cardstock, then printed the precoloured pie and leaves from Autumn Fall Halloween Treat Bundle, cut them out and layered them onto the card front. A little gold sparkle splatter, some gold twine and a few embellishments finished things off. The big “Thankful” sentiment is a FREEBIE from PolkaDoodles—so definitely grab it and give it a try! I typed up my own “for pie” and “(and you)” underneath because, really, being thankful is important…but so is pie!

Liz - I created this using one of the fabulous MDF trees from the Create and Decorate Christmas MDF Stacker Tree blanks kit.

I painted the tree with a cream coloured acrylic paint and then when it was dry lightly sanded it back here and there to distress a little. I kept the NOEL in it's natural colour which is also part of the kit - it's huge, you get a ton of MDF so if you love having bits and pieces to decorate it's a must have buy (and an amazing price for what you get too!) I created a floral arrangement as a focal point along with a die which I cut down for the top using these dies which have been my go to's on my desk so far this year, they're all so useful I can't stop using them: 

Sparkling Wreath and Stars dies

Elegant 25 December dies

Winter Botanical Bits

Abundant Holly Cutting Dies

Nelly - Another Saturday, it comes around so quickly! This week I have for you a food and drink project, yummy yummy! I wanted to create a soft palette for this birthday card so I chose sage green and soft pink. I stencilled the background of the centre panel using the Stone/Brick stencil, again using the pink and green theme. Next I stamped, coloured and cut out the images from the Birthday Celebrations Stamps and placed them onto the 3 squares. I also used the glasses/drink stamps from the Ready To Stumble Male set of stamps which is just so great and usable for life!  The backing paper is from the Not so Plain Kraft paper pack too. There you go another card for you all…..did someone say cake?

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

LATEST POLKADOODLES RELEASES!...

Let's see the beautiful projects from the DT this week!

Beautiful Autumn Card by Rachael...

Hello! Rachael here, sharing one of the cutest images from our latest Winne release using the super sweet wishes in the wind stamp. I wanted the image to be the star of the show so I printed it onto a card panel slightly smaller than A6 size and coloured it with a combination of markers and pencils for detail. Don't be put off by the colouring; there is detail showing where you can shade, or if colouring isn't your thing - there are pre-printed images you can use. I finished it with a sentiment and stamp from my stash. Perfect for an autumn birthday, or even just to say 'hello'

Fun Pink Friendship Card made by Renske...

Hello everyone! For this card, I used the Ruby Flowers digital stamp as my main focal point. I coloured Ruby in a pink and peach palette, with a soft bouquet to bring the image to life. I paired her with the Spring Tons of Love pattern paper, using the pretty dotted design as the first layer. The background for Ruby is a light textured panel to give Ruby some space to stand out. I finished the card with a sentiment from the Noodle Panda themed Messages set. I kept the design simple so the beautiful Ruby Flowers image remains the star of the card. Hope you like it. Happy Crafting!

Gorgeous Pink Friendship Card by Revati...

To create an uplifting friendship card instead of a traditional birthday greeting, I colored the Ruby Birthday Cake Digital Stamp with alcohol markers, framed the image, and foam-mounted it offset to the right over a soft floral pattern from the Bee Buzzy Flowers and Plains Digi Paper Pad. To build a flowing, encouraging message, I arranged multiple sentiment strips time to celebrate, you are amazing,  and  you are incredible from the Graduation School Student Sentiment Bundle in a gentle cascade across the design. Finally, lightly inking the edges of both the focal panel and the sentiment strips tied every sweet element seamlessly together.

Gorgeous Mixed Media style Friendship Card by Nelly...

Morning everyone, hope you’re enjoying the cooler weather! This weeks team theme is friendship, I used to Ruby Gift digital image from the Ruby collection and you can find it by clicking HERE. I coloured with alcohol markers and created the background using Ruby ons. The heart is from the Scribble Heart die - she’s quite a cool character isn’t she?

Colourful Ruby Girls Friendship Card by Enrica...

Hi there! This week the DT was asked to celebrate friendship using the Ruby collection and for my card I’ve colored with Copic the beautiful Ruby Gift with glasses/specs, Ruby Party Girl and Ruby Oo-la-la
digital images. I’m quite sure my friends would be happy to receive such a sweet card! Big hugs x Enrica x

Whimsical Woodland MDF Craft Project by Liz...

I love the colours this time of the year so I used one of these great journal book/folio covers to create a decorated house.  I added some texture with a brick/stone stencil, then painted over with some acrylic paint and sanded back parts for more texture once it was dry. The toadstools are part of the MDF kit and again, I painted them with acrylic paints. I added some die cut leaves from the Winter Botanicals Bits dies which are amazing, added some enamel Polkadot embellishments and a little moss from my stash. I used the Chamomile flower dies to create the flower near the window along with some stuff from my stash.

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