So let's get to the inspiration for today's new Card Making & Paper Craft Scrapbook challenge...

Samantha - It is Digi Choosday time again, and the DT team was asked to make projects featuring Halloween. I was excited for project because I am pretty sure Halloween is my all-time favorite cardmaking season. Yes… I love Halloween cards even more than Christmas cards, but it is close. For my project, I chose the haunting Oddella with bag and I paired her with images from the Poppy Flower bundle. I Copic colored both Oddella and the poppy flowers in shades of purple and dusty violet and fussy cut each image. For the poppies, I colored a few select petals from duplicate poppy images that I then fussy cut and adhered to my main image with foam tape to create depth and dimension. I placed everything onto a dark ink-blended background and added a border using paper from the Halloween/Autumn Paper Heaven 1 digital paper bundle and a sentiment from the Halloween Trick or Treat printable Sentiments bundle. I hope you find this card as spooky fun as I do.

Jennifer @Pueen Queen - Hello crafty friend, For today's project, I've created a bright colorful Halloween card using some great digital downloads from Polkadoodles. For the background, I began by heat embossing a spiderweb onto smooth white cardstock. Then, I chose some bold distress inks to ink blend a background that pops. I started by blending a touch of carved pumpkin into crackling campfire. Then some fired brick, villainous potion and finally chipped sapphire for a dramatic gradient. For the main image, I just had to use this adorable mummy trick-or-treater called "mummy boo halloween". I paired him with a cute pumpkin candy pail and 'BOO' banner from the new digital printable halloween release "hocus pocus". I was able to print the images I chose in any size I wanted. Which is such an awesome aspect of printable images! I colored all 3 elements with alcohol markers and added a few finishing touches with a white gel pen and a glaze gel pen to add some shiny details.
I cut down my background panel to 3½" by 4¾" to have a chunky black boarder. I arranged my images so they were laying beyond the inked panel, onto the black boarder, so they really draw your attention. The digital printable stamps from Polkadoodles are so fun an versatile to work with. Having the ability to resize your images is my favorite part of the process. The possibilities are endless! I hope you like this spooky cute card I created today. Have a creative day!...Mummy boo imageHocus pocus printablesDistress ink

Wendy - Hi everyone! I have another adorable box card for you today. I used a couple of adorable images from the Christmas Bear bundle as well as one of the amazing backgrounds that come with it. I combined the Decorating the Tree and Sweater images with one of the wintery backgrounds for a stunning scene. I colored everything with Copic markers. I love coloring these adorable bears and making scenes for them. Thank you for looking!


Naomi - Hi Everyone! That time of year is coming, and I, for one, can't wait for the Holiday Season!! This week's card features Carol Singing - Elvis Wesley Moose! For the sentiment, I used Theo Penguin -Greetings/Sentiments Bundle, greetings #33. I coloured him using my alcohol markers. I also added some sparkles and framed the card on red glitter cardstock to give him a little extra shine. Thanks so much for reading. I can't wait to see what everyone makes this week!

  • Tree: GY4 GY3 G2
  • Hat: R1 R3
  • Body: BR1 E280 E210 E220
  • Snow: CG2 CGII04

Mayte - I used the beautiful digital stamp Elvis Wesley Moose  and the wonderful sentiments for Christmas...I coloured with pastel markers and Polychromos pencils. Finally I used blue distress ink to look like the winter season !

Janelle - Hello! I absolutely love, love the color combination for this challenge. I decided to use the Buying the tree stamp set! I hope you enjoy it too! As always you can see more inspiration on my IG @sparkle.craft.happiness and Facebook.

Jane – There’s some spooky goings-on on my card today. I have used the fabulous new HALLOWEEN KITS to create a little midnight scene. The cat is from HOCUS POCUS WITCHES, the ‘dangling’ ghostie is from GHASTLY GHOST and the bat & moon are from HALLOWEEN TREAT. The gorgeous digital paper in the background can be found in TRICK OR TREAT BUNDLE 1.


Kim Stewart - Halloween has to be one of the funnest holidays; especially now I have grandchildren. I can't wait to go out trick or treating with them this year. For our Halloween Themed Design Team Project this week I created a Pop up card with a Belly Band. The belly band has one of the coloured digis attached to it from the Hocus Pocus digital set Inside i used bats and pumpkins and little kitties plus another cutie witch for the pop up part of my card. I put the bats on acetate strips so they look like they're flying. Everything was coloured with my Copic markers. My paper choices come from Wanda Paper digital paper pack 3, Gnome Trick or Treat Halloween digital paper packs 2 & Gnome Trick or Treat Halloween coordinates digital paper pack . My sentiments come from the Ghastly Ghosts download bundle You can find me at https://www.Instagram.com/lady_kashmir

So let's get to the inspiration for today's new Card Making & Paper Craft Scrapbook challenge...

Misty - Hello friends! I’m excited to announce that I’ve been invited to join the Polkadoodles Design Team! I’m very appreciative of this opportunity and excited to share with you my first project! In this project, I’ve created a fun and whimsical Halloween card. Y’all know that I had to go non-traditional for this one…it’s what I do! The fun gnome is on an action wobble and I love his little costume! I found a fun shape in my Silhouette library to add layers and finished it off with some glitter gel pen! Check out the video here: https://youtu.be/-nUXPNQP-mQ and thank you for joining me! Supplies used: Candy Boots Halloween GnomeHalloween Trick or Treat printable papers bundle 2Halloween Trick or Treat printable papers

Nat Martin - On this occasion I created three candy boxes and have coloured three Boo collection digi stamps 🤣. I started with one of them and then I couldn’t stop coloring ….ha ha ha ….It was really addictive as they are wonderful designs and I fell in love with all of them 😍

Maz - for my Halloween Icons tag, I used Sunflower Broomstick from the NEW Hocus Pocus Witches collection. I removed her broomstick and sat her on top of a trio of pumpkins from Ghastly Ghost collection. Coloured using ProMarkers. I created the background by using Terrifying Skulls Stencil. I finished off by adding a few cobwebs from the Spooky Hat Die Set and a distressed black bow. All details can be found on my blog.
Jennifer @pueen_queen - It's starting to get chilly outside, so I decided to make a COOL interactive winter scene card. I used the the Theo Penguin digital stamp along with the Theo penguin paper bundle to start off. I used this beautiful blue snowflake background to set my sky, and then I took some white glitter paper from my stash for the hills. After I figured out my card layout, I used a peice of scrap card, matching the one I want my characters to sled down, to cut a matching hill. Then I used a die to cut out the path they'll take. You can also cut a slit with scissors or a cricut, as long as your foam dots will slide through. 
I glued another small peice of card to the back of my sled, to work as an extension & then stuck it to 2 foam dots, placed on the pull tab, with the die cut hill between them.
After that, I could assemble all of my pieces with some thin foam tape between the hills to ensure my pull tab slides easily. Finally, I printed a sheet of sentiments from the Theo penguin greetings pack and chose a couple that fit my card best. I put the "brrr!" Sentiment on my pull tab as an extra surprise when my trio comes sledding down the hill. I matted the "happy winter season" on some blue card and vellum to match the snowflakes in the background to finish up. This card works great for all winter holidays, no matter what your recipient celebrates! I hope you're inspired for the chilly upcoming season! Have creative day!

Samantha - I used this lovely Octavia Wistful digistamp - she's one of the older images in the store but I LOVE this range so much and they can be used all year round just by changing the colours. I forgot about our theme of no red or green but the colours suit this so perfectly I just went with the flow and got carried away. Hope you love it!


Catrin - Hi everyone! sharing with you today my card using Shopping Wanda - Coloued with promarkers. I have also cut and pasted the digital Shopping bags from Wanda Ephemera Bundle onto some of the papers in Set 3 - Wanda Printable Ppaers and fussy cut. The sentiment is taken from Messages and Quotes - Wanda

Christin - Now it's almost halloween so today I have a witchy project for you! I coloured this wonderful Matilda Witch only in black and purble - I love this combination for halloween. What do you think about my Distress background? It's a little bit like she teleported on my card;)
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!

Wendy J - This week I created a slimline card with a lovely dark and spooky inked background teamed up with the newest Halloween digi collections which have just been released! Check them out here!

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
