Now onto the fabulous inspiration from the Design Team....

Tina: I´ve made a door wreath for you. For that i have printed the beautiful Winnie Winterland Paper and cut a lot of stars out of it. The stars were folded in 3D and then glued to a cardboard ring.

In the lower center I put then Mr. & Mrs. Claus, colored with Polychromos and applied some glitter. I like the whole Winnie Winterland Bundle very well. But the selection is really not easy.

Bev here with a flip flop card. I use Winnie Winterland and Ribbon/ Gift dies to decorate.

Angie J - I've made some gorgeous Name Place Tags for Dinner table using Winnie Winterland Collectiion. I've used 2 Digital Papers from the Winnie Winterland Papers Collections Paper Haven 7 and Paper Haven 3 for the Rosettes and Name Place matting. Also used the Design Sheet 13 for the Toppers.  

Michelle - I have used Festive Christmas Collection I have used the pre coloured images and tag and just added some glitter and some Chrissy lights.

  

Scatty Jan - For my card this week I have used the wonderful clear stamp set Christmas Poinsettia/Holly. I stamped the poinsettia twice so I could raise a few of the petals.

Claire C  - I've altered an old clock to make a shaker Christmas Decoration. I coloured the image with Lyra Pencils, it's called Skating Around and you can find it as a digi here or you can get the whole Winnie in Winterland Collection here. I cut the image out, layered it over one of the beautiful backing papers with 3d foamm and added some hills made with torn paper and glitter. I popped in some 'snow' and replaced the glass of the clock with acetate. To decorate the outside of the clock I used white crackle paint and made lots of flowers with foamiran and Polkadoodles cutting dies. I used Flower 1, Flower 2 and Flower Flourish.

Such fabulous creations!.....

Now onto the fabulous inspiration from the Design Team.

Ruth:  I've gone back to the wonderful collection that is Belle Papillon Collection and teamed it with the versatile Flowers 2 Die.  I've layered up one of the butterflies and curled the wings for extra depth.  The flowers have been layered with left over papers plus some blue and white tissue paper that I found in my stash.

Jacki - For my card today I have used the new release Ula's life collection I have really enjoyed using these images in the last week I have coloured her in using Polychromo pencils and then added papers from Octavia collection and added the die border Toadstool I finished off with a floppy bow to complete my card.

Helen - Well what can you say about the fabulous Horace and Boo Collection, so much cuteness all in one place and delicious papers and embellies to. I've teamed them up with some of Nikky's fabulous dies to. I've used Bubbleicious and the Ribbon Gift dies you can find them here at the store.

Pauline - I've used papers from the Belle Papillon Vintage CD to create my card.  The daisy is from the Daisy Daisy Stamp & Cut Set, I stamped and fussy cut it because I didn't want the white border that is left by the die.  The sentiment is from the Daisydays CD and my die cut element is the largest die from the Ribbon/Gift Frames & Corners die set.

Karon - I have used the wonderful Lavender Tea Collection for the papers in my card today.  My flowers are cut using the Flowers 2 Die, along with the Elegant Flourish Die and the Flower Flourish Die to add some leafy elements.  Also just had to use the Elegant Nesting Dies - set of 3 to layer up.

Lisa - I have made a card using papers and elements from Belle Papillon Big Kahuna Download. I have also used a one of the dies from the Elegant Nest Dies but I changed it up a little by cutting out the middle of the die cut.

Carol - I made a card using paper from Winnie Starfish and Sandcastles Paper 3 download and the gorgeous Friendly Cuddles from the Horace and Boo Collection coloured in with copics. Using dies to cut my scalloped oval and lacy decorations for the card, topped off with some tulips and a bow.

Such fabulous creations!...

Our New Challenge this week is

ANYTHING GOES

Closes Noon, GMT, Friday 19 May.  
Our random winner will receive a $10 voucher to the Polkadoodles Digi Store. 
You do not need to use Polkadoodles Products to enter our challenges but we do love seeing your fabulous creations with Polkadoodles images.

We only have a few little rules and they are over there in the side bar ------->

Have you seen our amazing new DIGI STAMP release? 

It's all about our amazing new character ULA - she's a real stunner and perfect for all kinds of crafting especially if you love to get a mixed media feel with your projects.... 

 Check them all out here!

Now let's see what wonderful inspiration the Design Team have for you this week....The DT's twist on the challenge theme is Use a Die Cut and if you want to join in with that theme then go for it :-)

Tina: For my card I used "Dollie Daydream Goes East" and colored with Polychromos. A little bit glitter on it and so "You Can Do Anything. 

Anjie - I used the Polkadoodles Bubbleicious die set for this make. I cut the two frames from watercolour card and then left the die in place and used a distress ink to add some colour around the edge of the die. I mounted the frames onto 3D foam and stuck them down. I then stamped out the Flamingo, flowers and foliage from the Tropical Paradise Flamingo stamp set, also onto watercolour card. Again I used the distress ink to colour them in. I then sprayed the flowers and leaves with water so the card became pliable. I then shaped the flowers and leaves, added some stamens to the flowers and glued in place on the card.

Bev  with a cute little easel card made using Winnie Starfish/Sandcastles Collection. Great minds think alike as I too used the Bubbleicious Frame Die. My image is coloured in with Prisma Pencils.

Claire C I've used stamps from the beautiful Bella Fleur A5 Clear stamp set to create this little wildflower meadow. The butterfly is from Belle Papillon Stamp Set and I've used the matching Butterfly Doublet Die to create the butterfly using acetate and glitter on the back.

Michelle For my project I have used the brand new ULA the one I have used is called ULA Life Journal  and for my die cuts I have used Ribbon gift frames and corners dies 

Lou: I've used stamps from the Tropical Flowers stamp set and the following dies: Ribbon Gift Frame & Cherry Blossom Branch. The stamped images have been watercoloured and mounted on to the branches. I have also extended the Ribbon Gift Frame to make a much longer panel. The sentiment is from the Belle Papillion stamp set.

 

 Lots of fabulous creations to inspire you....

Our Winner and Top 3 of our Anything Goes Challenge Weeks 16/17 will be announced next Friday.

Now onto the fabulous inspiration from the Design Team.

Tina - I have created a small garden. There are lots of flowers, but also trees, a pair of birds, many butterflies and bees. The form for the garden consists, incidentally, of an empty tobacco can, which I have cut in length. For my work I have used a lot from the "Winnie Fruit Punch" - Big Bundle. 
Winnie Dandelion Day and the Bee House is colored with Touch Twin Markers. Here you will also find individual components: "Dandelion Days - Winnie"  and "Dandelions" Design Sheet"

On my Blog you can find much more details and photos.

Bev here with some floral inspiration for you. I used the oh so cute Helga Flower Girl. The added flowers & sentiment are available on the Big Kahuna Bundle. I coloured everything up using my Prisma Pencils. Then matted it onto matching card stock & added 2 decorative Corners.

Scatty - For my card this week I have used one of the lovely stamps from Winnie Sugar Blossom , how utterly lovely is she, You can pre-order the Winnie stamps and paper pad collectors edition right here. I have coloured up using pencils, and the flowers and paper are from The Summertime collection.

Michelle - I have used the Daisy Day Stamps Clear stamp set for my project I have stamped them with versa mark and then embossed with white embossing powder, then painted them with water colour paints and iridescent medium.

Claire C - I've used one of the gorgeous Winnie Sugar Blossom stamps (you can preorder them here) and lots of lovely Polkadoodles dies (Elegant Lamplight and Gate, Flowers 1, Flower Branch Doublet Die Set, Bubblicious Frames for the roof and Versatile Door/Window/Flap die)

Lou: I have used my Bella Fleur stamps to create my project but couldn't resist sneaking in one or two stamps from the Belle Papillion collection too. My mount is from the Ribbon Frame Gift Frame & Corners die set.

Anjie - I used the fab stamps from the Daisy Days collection. You can get the stamps on their own HERE if you wish to. I did lots of masking and used different inks to stamp the images with onto watercolour paper. I then used my Kuretake Zig Art and Graphic pens to water colour the flowers and background. I added a couple of squiggly lines with a black fine liner pen and then mounted to picture on to 3D foam. More info on my blog.

Tina - This time I designed an elves house. I used the Belle Papillon Kahuna Bundle and for the shield on the roof the middle size of the oft the Die Cut Set Elegant Nest. The house is made of a chips roll and for the roof I did Cardstock curled up and covered with many small pieces of paper.

A corner of the squares was rounded and wiped with stamp ink. A few half beads, a miniature frame, some glitter and real moss make the house to a dreamy shelter for small elves. 

Anjie - For this card I have used the paper pad from the Bella Papillon crafting kit. You can also buy the paper on it's own HERE. I have then stamped the flower from the Bella Fleur craft kit. You can also buy the stamp set on it's own HERE. I have then cut out a frame using the Elegant Nest set of 3 dies. I used the same die to cut out the flower and trimmed it down to size. I then added a bow and some flourish die cuts behind it.

Michelle - For this card I have used Lavender Tea Collection this collection is beautiful such gorgeous colours I have also used Polkadoodles Dies Ribbon Gift Frames and Corners these dies are just beautiful to use.

Scatty Jan use a die cut , so easy with the new range of Polkadoodles dies that are now available - The die I used is a doublet die , absolutely adoring these dies with matching stamps. The papers used are from the new collection and the mannequin is from the CD - Find all the goodies here.

Claire C with so many gorgeous new dies available from Polkadoodles choosing my dies was the real challenge here lol.  I've used papers, stamps and dies from the Belle Papillon Papercrafting Kit and added some flowers from the Bella Fleur Paper craft Kit to make this shabby chic card.

Bev here, I decided to make a birthday card for my Step Dad using the adorable Winston Download Collection and for the dies I used both the Super Sprigs and Ribbon/Gift Frames & Corners.

Lou: I've used the wonderful Belle Papillon and Bella Fleur stamp, paper and dies collections to create my card. Images coloured with pan pastels with a light glitter finish.

Gail - I've used the delicious Belle Papillon printable collection, available on CD-ROM or as a download, along with the Elegant Nest die and co-ordinating Belle Papillon stamp set and dies, Butterfly die and Elegant Flourish die.

Our Winner and Top 3 of our Anything Goes Challenge Weeks  42/43

This week we are sharing with you a lovely project made by Sandra you can visit her lovely blog here.
Sandra won one of our competions that we hold over on our Facebook group and has become our November Fest GDT - keep watching to see more of Sandra's lovely work over the next few weeks
This wonderful advent uses many different collections from Polkadoodles and atands at an amazing 2ft tall!!

Now onto the fabulous inspiration from the Design Team.

Ruth:  I've printed two of the silvery grey papers from Winnie Winterland and used these to weave a background - I lightly distressed the edges of the strips before weaving for a more shabby chic feel.  The image is also from the same download (pre coloured), printed onto linen effect white card.  Everything else is from my stash

Tracy - I have used Festive Christmas collection. I love the rich colours in this collection and are having a lot of fun playing... and weaving!

Scatty Jan For my weaving of papers , I made some little hanging ornaments, very simple just using 12 small slices of paper, great to use some of those oddments you have hanging about - Papers and images all from Winnie Winterland

Gail - I've created a star wreath with a simply origami fold, using the delicious papers from the Festive Christmas collection and also the Bubbleicious die.

Bev here with my inspiration. I decided to create a festive notebook for my Christmas card list using Baked with Love

Anjie - Well, I've never done paper weaving before so this was new to me. Of course I'm on with making my Christmas tags so thought I'd try it on one of those so I didn't get overwhelmed. I have used the Festive Christmas Stamp Soup collection for this, both the CD and the stamp set. As always lots more details and photos on my blog.

Claire C I've used papers, embellies, flowers and one of the gorgeous images from the Winnie Winterland collection to make my card. You can also get the image on it's own here.  I got in a bit of a tangle with the paper weaving but managed to crack it in the end lol. The image has been coloured with Graph'It Markers, I've coloured the fox in creams to make it a lovely puss cat and I've used Polkadoodles dies to cut the flowers (Flowers 1) and the focal image (Bubblicious Frames). 

Michelle  I have used Baked with Love Gingerbread Bundle  this is the cutest bundle and so much fun to use I have also The new Dies Ribbon Frame and corners  and Bubblelicious frames and fancies

I also used Paper from the bundle and cut it into strips to weave it together 

Such fabulous creations.
