Naomi - Hello everyone! This week’s challenge is one of my favourites – it’s a colour challenge! For my card, I picked the Gil Rabbit Gardening digi stamp. As for the sentiment, I picked a matching sentiment from the Spring Gnome sentiments. This cute little Rabbit is coloured using my Ohuhu markers.Please follow My Instagram here...
I used the following colours: Rabbit: E400, E380 WG01, CGII00, R18, R19, Rabbit’s shorts BR2 E240 E210, Rabbit’s Shirt: BG4, BG5, BG68, Pot: Y4 YR2 YR2, Leaves: G7 G5 G9, Pumpkin: Y4 YR3 YR190

Pam - For the Fall theme with our color pallet challenge, I've selected Careful - Winnie Special Moments. They are colored with Copic markers then I added the Polkadoodles Stencil, Heavenly circles with Cracked Pistachio Distressed Oxides in the background. I've mounted them on papers from the In love with Autumn paper pack and finished the card with the sentiment and a sunflower wax seal.


Merja - On my card I used the pumpkins from Scary Boo Stamp Set and Grab Your Broomstick Stamp Set. I coloured them with alcohol markers and added some white gel pen. The background paper is from Halloween/Autumn Printable Papers and I mixed it with a black cardboard to create this fun card base full of stars. The text is from Scary Boo Stamp Set and I heat embossed it.




Nunzia: Autumn is coming and I enjoyed to colour lady bug on her leaf with autumnal shades. I glued the panel with double foam tape onto a background made up of a dot paper and a scalloped frame cut from Love Always printable Papers and Cute Lily Ladybug paper bundles respectively. The sentiment is part of Cute Lily Ladybug Ladybird themed messages.



Irre - Hi, sharing today a tag that I created for Polkadoodles with the digital stamp called Verocia from the Little Monsters collection. I colored the stamp with Copics. For the background of the tag, I used distress ink and stamped it with several stamps from the stamp set Doodle dragonfly. I also did some edge stamping. I added the Verocia stamp and added white splatters with gesso. Finally, I added a green ribbon to the tag.




Wendy - Hi Everyone! Who's ready for Fall? I know I am. We're playing with Fall colors on the blog today. I used Country Road Scene Background and colored it in amazing Fall colors and then added this adorable Autumn Wheelbarrow Halloween Gnome to complete the scene. I colored everything with Copic markers. One of my favorite things about Fall is all of the beautiful colors and I love bringing cards to life with them. I can't wait to see what you create! Thank you for looking

Rachael - Hello crafting friends. Rachael here with more inspiration. It's now September which means those rich browns, reds, and oranges can be used in our card making. I used this die called Foxy fun paired with a gorgeous teal for a pop of colour on a stenciled background. The stencil is called leafy craft. A tip to bring our critters to life is to use a bit of distress ink around the edges to add dimension. Enjoy!

Let's see the inspiration from the team - today we've been creating lots of lovely sweet treats inspiration for you!... 


Judy: This week's DT card is all about Halloween, which will be here before we know it! I have used the Mummy Boo Halloween Printable as my focal on this simply designed card. It was colored with Pencils and fussy cut. The background papers are from the Boo Halloween Printable Background Paper Bundle.I printed one of the sentiments from the Boo Halloween Sentiment Bundle. Twine, enamel dots, die cut ovals and a hand punched border were added.

Renske - I am happy to share my Design Team project for the 'Halloween is coming' theme! I enjoyed using the adorable Winnie Wednesday Pumpkin digital stamp. I coloured her in with my alcohol markers. I used three different patterned papers from the printable background paper set "Boo Halloween". On one of the pattern papers was a pattern with kittens, bats, witches' hats and pumpkins. This seemed like a lot of fun to use those pictures as elements for a shaker card. So I cut them all out. I finished the card with the sentiment "just hear for the candy" from the set "Halloween Trick or Treat printable greetings". Hope you like it. Happy crafting!

NataliaIt's only a moment before Halloween and we already have some inspiration for you for this occasion. I prepared a round card with my favourite digistamp Oddella with bag Ickyink Art, and the background is one of the printable Word art from the Halloween Trick or Treat set. Everything was colored with alcohol markers. 


Sabina - Hi! Today I'm sharing a little Halloween bag. I combined it with paper from Happy Cactus Succulent printable paper patterns 1 and the Little Monsters Dohh digi stamp which I coloured with Ohuhu markers. The sentiment is part of Halloween Trick or Treat printable Greetings.


Enrica - Hello everyone! Are you ready for the most spook-tacular time of the year? For my project this week I made a slimline card using the fun Boo Ghost Halloween Gnome digital stamp colored with Copic and my son created the background, colored it with watercolors. I added a scary sentiment from the Halloween Trick or Treat printable download Sentimentsset. We won't be caught unprepared this year!

Sonja - little Winnie Wednesday Skull is reminding me that Halloweenin is coming soon and I need to get started to prepare. The card flaps are from Halloween Trick or Treat and from Halloween Trick or Treat printable Word Art the paper is from Halloween Trick or Treat printable papers bundle 1 this card is easily done and has a cool wow effect.

Wk 34 - Card making & paper craft challenge - Anything Goes creative craft challenge at Polkadoodles

Welcome to a new Craft Card making Challenge!

The winners of our last challenge are at the bottom of this post!

Let's see the inspiration from the team - today we've been creating lots of lovely sweet treats inspiration for you!... 

Irre - Hello everyone. Sharing today a tag for Polkadoodles. For this project, I used a digital stamp called Lavender. I colored her with Copics. For the background, I colored in the tag with Distress ink and added some more through the number collage stencil. I did some edge stamping too, with a stamp from the stamp set Special times. Then, I added some black twine and decorated it with black stones,  a metal flower, art stones, and a rhinestone. As a sentiment, I used one from the Rebel easy snip message strips. Finally, I added a black ribbon. Instagram: @scrapbyirre


Pam - We're having a Gnometastic Birthday Surprise with this Over the Hill Easel card. I've colored the gnome with Copic markers and added a '40' in the balloon. I've used the balloon papers from Polkadoodles Birthday Fun Paper pack behind the image and for the two strips at the base of the easel card to hold it standing. What a fun triple challenge this week!



Merja - I used the Party Little Dude image and coloured it with alcohol markers. The background paper is from the same set and I added some numbers from Number Circles Digi Stamps on it before printing. Text is stamped with Birthday Celebrations Stamps Set. I just love these Little Dude images 💙

Nunzia: I thought this Lazy Panda would be perfect for a teenager's birthday. I used a paper from Noodle Panda set as a background and cut two squares from two other patterned ones included in the same bundle. Finally, I glued some strips coloured with alcohol markers to complete te design. The whole composition was glued onto a blue base blended with distress oxide ink. The number is part of Winnie White Christmas Alphabet, while the sentiment is one of Winnie Celebrations sentiment Kit2.

Rachael - Hello again crafting friends. The thing about using digital stamps is that you can make them as big or as small as you like. I love this wizardry magic stamp from the little dude's collection. Perfect for a child's birthday. This one I made as large as a DL card with a giant number 7 in the background from the bonus printables that come with this stamp! Simple and yet really striking for a mantlepiece.

Wendy - Hi Everyone! We're playing with numbers today for the Polkadoodles challenge. I used the Coffee and Cake BIG Bundle with Birthday Candles (for my numbers). I couldn't resist getting the entire bundle - I love all things coffee. I used the paper, sentiment, and both a cupcake and coffee image for my card. I usually color everything myself, but the pre-colored images were just too cute and made it so easy for me to assemble. Thank you for looking!
