Today we're welcoming 2 super new crafters onto the team and we can't wait to start sharing their work with you all! So big huge welcome to Bea and Janelle!

Bea - Hello! I'm so happy to design for Polkadoodles this week! I used polychrome pencils to color the Spooky Kitty Cat Pumpkin digi and for the background a spider web stamp and Lindys pigments to give color. As a sentiment, one of the phrases from the Halloween Trick or Treat printable Greetings set.

Janelle - Hello! I’m super excited to be here with my first DT submission! I played with the Christmas color scheme with this precious duo of a snowman and teddy bear gone ice skating! I hope you enjoy them! As always you can see this on my IG @sparkle.craft.happiness and Facebook.
I used Copic Colors:
  • Bear: E30,31,33,35
  • Pinks:R 39, 81, 85
  • Greens: Y01, 03, 06
  • Blues: BG 02, 45, 53
  • Boots: C0, 3
  • Carrot nose: YR 18, 14
  • Snowman: B60, B0000
  • Ears/nose: R01, 11, 20

Merja - I designed this CAS card with a text editor program. I used the Lantern/Candle Light pre-coloured image and a sentiment from Christmas Greetings, Quotes, Sentiments and printed the creation when I was happy with the layout. I added some glitter glue around the lantern and glitter gel pen over the sentiment to create the sparkle.

Pam - I've selected Winnie Christmas Wishes, Friendly Cuddles and Winnie White Christmas Digital Printable Papers 2. I die cut the Polkadoodles Layering Trees out of a scrap of metallic gold card stock, then added the background strips and the colored image using the color palette we were given for this challenge. Lastly I finished the card with the peach organza ribbon and bow at the top fold of the card.

Nunzia: for today challenge dedicated to Christmas I made a card where the main character is Elvis, the cutest moose I've ever seen. I firstly colored him with alcohol markers, than I made a base with a paper from Printable Papers 2 - Winnie White Christmas and circles punched from Just Lovely - Honeypie paper bundle. The sentiment is part of Winnie Celebrations Kit 2.

Rachael - Hello, polkadoodles fans. not long now before the festive celebrations commence, so get ahead with this really simple design of card. I ink-blended a background and then using stamps called Winter Noel I used black ink to stamp over the top. super simple but very effective!

Wendy L - Hi everyone! I just adore the new Christmas Bear Bundle. I made the sweetest box card using several of the pre-printed images and the gorgeous paper. I love to color, but sometimes it's just so nice to have those pre-colored images ready to use. I used the Hang Stockings as well some of the extra trees and the sweet snowman included with the Kahuna bundle to create this adorable card. I would love to see what you create with this sweet little bear. Thank you for looking!

Naomi - Hi everyone! Welcome back. For this challenge, I used an Elvis Wesley Moose Carol Singing and a Digi paper from the Gingerbread Holly papers 2. I coloured Elvis Wesley with my alcohol markers and gave the Twinkle a shadow for a little extra colour. Elvis Wesley is ready for the Christmas Season! Follow my Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/craftingcardinal/

Mayte - I made a Christmas Card with Bauble-hat-bear using my alcohol markers and polychromos . The background was made with Distress ink !! Very easy!

Wow!! Lots of gorgeous inspiration for you this week to use - we hope you'll share what you make with your Polkadoodles products on our Social Media! Share in our Facebook group here

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

Jane Robinson - Hi there and thanks for taking a peek at my project today. I have my first DT projects for you and they're spooktacular... let me know if the puns are a little dated and annoying lol. This gorgeous and sassy lass has eyelashes to die for and I need them in my life. This is ScaryGloria and I love her. She is part of the Monsters Download collection and there are a whole host of different digi's that complement her. I also used Trick or Treat printable papers for the background. I printed her on 300gsm watercolour cardstock, then I used dye inks to watercolour her. The ink pads in particular are Catherine Pooler inks in the following colours: Flirty Fuschia, Something Borrowed, Aquatini, Pixie Dust, Buttercream, Spiced.




Enrica - Hello everyone! For my Halloween project this week I made a pumpkin shaped card and used the Pumpkins Halloween Gnome digital stamp, everything colored with Copic. I added a sentiment from the Halloween Trick or Treat printable download Sentiments set and a few embellishments from my stash.




Renske - With great pleasure I made this moon-shaped Halloween card. I colored the digital stamp 'Boo Ghost Halloween Gnome' with alcohol markers. For a striking moon, I used a purple pattern paper from the set of Boo Halloween printable background papers. I pasted this on black paper so that there is a black border around it. I used the sentiment EEK from the Halloween Trick or Treat greetings. I have adjusted the sentiment in Word. I made the letters green and printed them out. I pasted these letters on black paper for a black border. Hope you like it! Happy Crafting!




Judy: I've created a pumpkin shaped card for my DT project this week.
Patterned paper was printed from Halloween Trick or Treat Printable Papers,
die cut into 1 oval and 2 circles cut in half and glued together for my base. The focal image is Witch Cauldron Halloween Gnome. I colored her with Prismacolor Pencils and fussy cut. A few die cuts were added and the sentiment was printed from Halloween Trick or Treat Printable Greetings.




Natalia - We are continuing Halloween and I have another pumpkin-shaped card. I again used a giant pumpkin from the new collection - Ghastly Ghost Halloween as a house for Monster-mash- from a pack of Hocus Pocus Witches Halloween printable digital stamps. Everything was colored with alcohol markers.



Tinne - Hi everyone! This weeks challenge is all about Halloween shapes, so I created a pumpkin shaped card. I cut out 5 ovals in light yellow cardstock and inked them with different shades of orange Distress Oxide ink. I drew the stalk of the pumpkin on light brown cardstock, cut it out and also inked it with brown Oxide inks. The patch of grass was created by cutting is out of light green cardstock with a die and also slightly inking it. I coloured the cute little witch with my Copic markers, and added a sentiment from the Halloween Trick or Treat printable greetings. You can turn the pumkin into a card by tracing its shape on a card base, and cutting it out with some scissors. Glue it behind your pumpkin and you’ve got a card!


Deborah - Hello everyone. Are you ready to make some spooky cards? For this week's challenge, I decided to made a spooky Halloween easel card using the Cordelia Witch Digi and the "Hocus Pocus" sentiment from the Boo Halloween Digi Sentiments Set. 

I just love the moon's glow on Cordelia. I used Distress Oxide inks on the moon (Stormy Sky and Lost Shadow) and sky (Squeezed Lemonade, Twisted Citron, Chipped Sapphire, and Villainous Potion). The rest of the images were colored using Copics. If you would like to color her up like I did, I have included the colors I used below.

Cordelia Dress & Hat: YG 01, 05, 09 and G19
Stockings, Sash on Hat, & Hair: BV 02, 04, 08, 13 and C 1, 2
Boots: C 1, 2, 4, 7
Crystal Ball: BV 0000, 01, 02, 31
Skin: E 00, 11, 13 and RV 11
Rocks: C 1, 2, 4, 5, 7; W 1, 3; Y 00; B 34; BG 72; BV 23; E 54, 74



Sabina - Hello everyone. We're all for Halloween shapes. I made a coffin card. I used dark grey cardstock for the base and then covered it with papers from Halloween Trick or Treat printable papers bundle 2. Cute Little Witch Boo Halloween stamp is coloured with Ohuhu markers and die cut with Sizzix. The sentiment is part of Halloween Trick or Treat printable Greetings.

Today we're welcoming some super new crafters onto the team and we can't wait to start sharing their work with you all! So big huge welcomes to Mayte and Naomi!

Naomi - Hello everyone! Excited to be here, YAY! I did a gift bag for this week's "anything but a card" challenge. I picked Gnometastic Sunny for my main digi, with two digital papers behind him, which are Halloween Trick or Treat printable papers and the Halloween Trick or Treat printable papers bundle 2. The tissue paper for the gift bag was made by printing Polkadoodles printable papers on a sheet of tissue paper to match the background of the gift bag! The two cute acorns attached to the ribbons are from the fall-autumn Digi bundle. As for the sentiment, I picked a matching sentiment from the Spring Gnome fun puns, quotes and sentiments-printable stamps for cardmaking. Gnometastic Sunny is coloured using my Ohuhu markers. Please see below for the colours that I used. Follow me on Instagram. 
I used the following colours:
  • Hat: BR1, YR5, YR2
  • Shirt: Y10, Y4
  • Pants: BR1, YR5, YR2, & Y3, Y11, Y2, Y1
  • Beard/ Shoes: CG1100, CG1104, CG1107
  • Leaves: G1, G3, G8
  • Flowers: Y3, Y11, Y2
  • Accorns: BR1, YR5, YR2

Mayte Castañeda - hello everyone I'm so excited to be part of the Polkadoodles team! I made a cute Halloween Tag for this first post - I love this Witch digi so much! She is from the Spellbinding Witches collection and is called Cordelia - I look forward to following your blogs and hope you will also follow my social too!...

Sara Wyles - I've made this all-out purple card today using strips of embossed card and this super cute image from the Boo Halloween collection called Bat Girl Boo - she is SO adorable!

Pam ~ Our challenge this week was 'no cards - tags, books or gift bags. With Halloween approaching, I decided to make a tag to add to a gift or treat bag. I covered my 2" x 4" Kraft tag with the spiderweb paper from Polkadoodles Boneshakin' Halloween Craft papers. I cut and Copic colored a full moon for the background and secured it. Then I stamped and colored several of the images from the Scary Boo stamp set and fussy cut them out. I raised the bat, girl and top of the candle stick with foam and secured the other pieces at the base to completed the cute little tag.

Merja - This time I made a glittery flower tag. I used the Blossoming Rose stencil and glitter paint pens to create this beautiful flowery background (sorry, the glitter doesn't show very well, it's a pain to photograph). I think the pattern itself is so beautiful that I only added a congratulations text stamped on vellum (using the Sentimentals stamp set) and a black satin ribbon.

Irre - Sharing today a new project made for Polkadoodles. As a focal point, I used the digital stamp called Serenity Fairy kisses. I colored her with Copics and then cut her out. The background is made of watercolor paper. I colored it in with Distress ink, water splats, and stamps from Best day ever. I decorated with sewing threads, purple flowers, die-cut out leaves from the Super sprigs cutting die. I added a sentiment and added some white splats with white acrylic paint.

Wendy - Hi everyone! I'm stepping outside of my comfort zone today and NOT making a card. Instead, I've used the new super adorable Snow Globe Carol Singing Bella Christmas Bear to create a really fun double sided shaker ornament. I just love Bella and all of her adorable friends in the Christmas Bear bundle. It's that time of year when we need to get a move on and make those Christmas cards and crafts. Play along with the challenge today and start crafting with me. I can't wait to see what you create! Thank you for looking!



Nunzia: my project today is a handmade paper bag. I decorated it with a patterned sheet from Lily bug papers and flowers cut out from another piece of paper. I coloured this charming Girl with flowers in hair with alcohol markers, fussy cut it and glued to one side of the bag. The sentiment is part of Lily bug messages.

Rachael - Hello crafting friends!. Rachael here again with some more inspiration. You don't just have to make cards with your crafty stash. how about using some stamps and some card to make bag toppers for cute trick-or-treat bags. these could be for a party, or just to hand out. I used a stamp set called Fab-boo-lous but you could use any image for any occasion.


Wow!! Lots of gorgeous inspiration for you this week to use - we hope you'll share what you make with your Polkadoodles products on our Social Media! Share in our Facebook group here
