Let's see the inspiration from the team - we've been creating lots of gorgeous projects for you... 

Wendy L - Hi there! We were asked to make something with leaves and a digi of a bear so I created and coloured this scene using Noodle Panda with Watermelons and this great 'Park'  colouring scene in the store...

Enrica - Hi everyone! My project for this week is an Easter garland made of paper rosette and some cute Easter digital stamps colored with Copic: Bunny Rabbit with Spring CarrotsButterfly ChickCute Bunny Rabbit sitting on Easter Egg. Digital papers are from different sets: Gnome holding carrots gardening, Coffee Tea and Cake paper patterns bundle and Pretty Spring papers. I’ve added ton sur tone laces and a few enamel dots from my stash and sentiments from the Darling Buds bundle.Stay crafty!

Kim S - Beginning to look a lot like spring....nah just joking....Stlll winter here 😉 For my Design Team Challenge project this week with the theme Unicorns and Not a card I chose to create artwork for the wall. Sparkle the Unicorn was coloured with Copic markers and i added touches of Glitter glue to give her lots to sparkle about. I chose Sparkle Special Time and Sparkle Hooray .Finally some sweet pastel flowers to decorate the frames with and add a bit of whimsy to finish them off.

Judy: My Polkadoodles inspiration project for this week is a pillow box treat holder with a tag. The pillow box was created with a punch board. I covered the pink box with a patterned paper from Pretty Spring Papers Printables. The same paper was applied to the tag. I used Bunny Rabbit with Spring Carrots Colour for the focal on the tag. The sentiment is from Easter Greetings, Quotes and Sentiments Printables.

Kerri - I've made this sweet card using the Love Heart Die here and the Hey Lovely stamp set
Wendy J - Hello everyone I hope you are having a great week - It's time for some more inspiration for our current 4 week Digi Choosday Challenge and this week the team was asked to create something with a Panda or a Bear and include leaves.
I couldn't resist using my favourite Noodle Panda - who can resist him.... he's such a cutie. I decided to use the Noodle Hanging on a tree branch image, coloured with my Promarkers and fussy cut out and create him an aperture to hang in amongst lots of leaves. Its a simple pop-up frame card layered with papers from Noodle Panda paper set 3 and behind the aperture there is a leafy paper from the Freddy Fox Collection. The two sentiments are from the Noodle Sentiment bundle and I have foiled these in gold honeycomb foil. Finishing touches were lots of leave die cut from green card stock. There are more details over on my blog - have a lovely week xx

Great inspiration from the team this week, thanks everyone for your hard work! We hope you'll share what you make with your Polkadoodles products on our Social Media! Share in our Facebook group here...


So, just a reminder....

the challenge theme is ANYTHING GOES.

Let's see the inspiration from the team - we've been creating lots of gorgeous projects for you... 

Leah - Hello everyone, it's Digi Choosday again so grab those bargain downloads! Today I'm sharing this card I created using the Sweet Moments collection, I love this dog with his bone phone!

Judy: It's all about Boys/Men for the DT's inspiration projects this week!I created a card featuring Bob the Dog in a Boat. The image was printed and colored with Prismacolor Pencils. Strips of a patterned paper were handout to form waves and I die cut another patterned paper for clouds. The sentiment was printed from the Bob in a Boat Set and die cut.

Wendy - I have an adorable card to share with you today using the latest digi release Birthday Celebration bundle. I used the adorable Party Time Bunny and one of the flowers for this sweet card. What I love about digital stamps is it's so easy to resize and manipulate all of these elements to fit perfectly on my card. I resized and rotated the flowers to create a beautiful border around the bunny. It was really fun to design this way.


Carrianne - Hello friends! Today, I’m sharing a clean and simple card that features the beautiful Alcea Hollyhock Flowers, which I thought would make the perfect choice for a Mother’s Day card. I paired it with a lovely sentiment from the Spring Flower Mother’s Day Friends Greetings set—this set is packed with so many wonderful sentiments, making it perfect for all your floral card creations! I began by resizing and printing the image to suit my design, then colored it with Copic Markers and fussy cut it out. For the background, I used a diagonal stripe window die, which I adhered to a white A2 card base for a bit of texture. I added the image on foam tape to give it some dimension and make it pop. The sentiment was printed, trimmed, and also adhered with foam tape to give it a little lift, tying everything together beautifully.
Copics used:
V12-V15-V17
Y13-Y15-Y18
YG61-YG63-YG67


Renske - Hi everyone! For this card, I created a fun slider design with a football shooting towards the goal. I started with the Soccer Football Gnome for Men digital stamp. I coloured it with alcohol markers and added highlights with a white gel pen. The background was made using distress inks for the grass and sky, along with a cloud stencil for a soft, textured effect. I made the footballs from the Gnome Men Soccer Football Printable Pattern Paper and finished it with a sentiment from the Gnome Men Greetings, Quotes, Sentiments set. Hope you like it! My Instagram: @renske.wishes.you, Facebook: Renske.wishes.you
Julie - I created a card using this sweet trio of printable bunnies - find out more on my social here
Kerri - I've been busy coloring this cute puppy stamp this week. I added this lovely border from the Scallop frames dies, and a gorgeous paper from the Devine paper pack. You can get the stamps and dies here...see you next time!

Let's see the inspiration from the team - we've been creating lots of gorgeous projects for you... 

Renske - Hi everyone! I'm excited to share my latest Mother's Day card creation featuring the adorable Bunny Rabbit with bunch of flowers digital stamp from Polkadoodles. Using my alcohol markers, I coloured this sweet image with a palette of purple, pink, yellow, and white tone. The background showcases a dreamy blend of Picked Raspberry distress ink with floating hearts, while layered grass details add depth to the scene. The sentiment "picked just for you" from the Spring Flower Mother Day friends greetingsset perfectly complements the bunny proudly displaying its bouquet. Happy Crafting! My Instagram: @renske.wishes.you Facebook: Renske.wishes.you


Julie - This adorable wide eyed sheep brings fun to this interactive card as she actually jumps over the fence into this pretty little meadow. The images from Polkadoodles Sheepy Sheep collection were colored and perfectly paired with a sentiment from Spring Into Easter messages. Details to create this super fun card can be found on my blog. Instagram, Facebook

Adam - Being a huge Taylor Swift fan, I immediately thought of using the Polkadoodles Crafts new Just My Type dies to create a card inspired by "The Tortured Poet's Department" as performed during the Eras tour. This typewriter die is very reminiscent of the one from the props during the concert. This card and the die should resonate with all the Swifties of the world.


Nunzia: When I think about Spring, the first animal that comes in my mind is the rabbit, so cute and furry. For this reason I made this interactive card, with these 3 little bunnies closing the card that when opened magically shows a sweet message. Papers and message are included in the same bundle.


Leah - Hello friends, I am back today to share another sweet, sweet stamp and die set from the new Sweet Moments Collection by Polkadoodles. This stamp set is called Hello it's Me and includes this cute bear and frame. I've paired this image with some paper and stamps from the Pretty Flowers Collection: Thanks a Bunch stamp, Hello Pretty stamp, and Pretty Colourful Paper...as well as some of the new chipboard embellishments from Sweet Moments Collection! Wow, that seems like a lot, lol, but it all came together perfectly!
