THE CHALLENGE IS: ANYTHING GOES

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

Betsy - This gorgeous Floral Spray comes from the Blooming Lovely Collection. I printed the image onto glitter watercolor paper. I closely followed the colored version in the Collection for the flowers as I watercolored them, then added more bits of sparkle by using glitter watercolor as accents. I die cut the panel and adhered it to a card base and added tiny iridescent gems!

Julie Nagle -This Vacation themed card was so fun & easy to create using digital images from PolkaDoodles Winnie Starfish Collection, Work & Play 3 Collection. This whimsical Caravan Lady is ready to embark on a grand adventure, armed with her trusty passport, luggage, and a heart full of excitement! A lovely backdrop of beautiful blue sky digital paper provides the perfect setting for this postcard style greeting card. Her camera ready to capture all the unforgettable moments that lie ahead. She's got everything she needs for a fantastic vacation, and the sentiment: "See you soon!" passes on her excited vacation vibes! Safe travels!

Irre - Hello everyone. Today I want to share a new canvas with you. I created this for Polkadoodles and used a digital stamp for that. The one I used is from the Darling buds collection, and this one is names Primrose flower girl. I colored the stamp with Copics and cut out the stamp. I laid the stamp aside while I was working with the canvas. For the canvas, I added modeling paste through a stencil and then painted the canvas with gesso. Then, I started to decorate one of the corners. I decorated it with many different elements. After that, I painted all the decorations with white gesso. Next, colored the canvas with watercolors. Now, it was time to add the stamp to the canvas. I then, dry painted the decorations with white gesso to enhance the textures. I also added some splatters. Finally, I decorated it with some rhinestones. My Instagram: @scrapbyirre

Merja - I combined Bob the Dog in a Boat image and Coast Beach Sea background image with a text editor program, printed and coloured it with alcohol markers. I die cut the image and added a blue cardboard behind it. The background paper is from Starfish & Sandcastles paper pack and I added a fish net die cut on one corner and added some blue Distress Ink around the paper before taping it to white cardboard. Then I taped the image on the background paper. Lastly I added the sun, bees, butterfly and reed images that I stamped with Unfrogettable & Toadal Sweetheart stamp sets and coloured with alcohol markers.

Martine Bruinings - We all like shopping...isn't it? Well.... shopping is my cardio ! Hahahaha But... i'm certainly hope NOT that this will happen to me when i am old! This lady is a Funny Old Bag named Embarassing Moment ( this is were you can find all the funny old bags lol ) . And i have used Polka papers.. Paper Heaven 4 Horace & Boo . Well, have a nice shopping day...maybe here at Polkadoodles???

Wendy - Hello everyone and happy Digi Choosday! I hope you are having a good week so far. Today I have a birthday card made for a little boy using the super cute Birthday Elephant from the Tons of Love collection. This cutie was coloured with Promarkers and layered onto a simple card panel of papers from the collection along with a sentiment for my sweet elephant to sit on. He's definitely a little Prince for his big day !

Julie Barnes - For this card the challenge was Boys/Men and these are never the easiest to get inspiration for! I used the stamp set PD8146 Ready to Stumble and paper pack PD8194 Cheers & Beers. I made up a card base using a template I made in the shape of a bottle. I gold embossed the top to make it look like a bottle top and then ink blended the background. I cut out a 'label' stamped the glass and added some colour. Made a larger label with one of the papers from the pack and gold embossed the sentiments to match. I then made up a gift tag using the same stamp set and paper pack to make a matching set! Again I used my Faber Castell pencils. Colours used: 105 - 185 - 170- 171 - 112 - 140 - 232 - 231

CHRISTIN - For the theme friends I choose this super cute Noodle Panda with Melon and Donuts for creating my new card. I don't like sharing food, but I would share anything with my best friend. So it was a perfect match for me. I colored them with alcohol markers, also the diecut word in style of a melon.

Irre - Irre - Hello everyone. Today I want to share a new canvas with you. I created this for Polkadoodles and used a digital stamp for that.

Julie Barnes - Hello everyone, I'm hopping in to the challenge from the other team! Today I'm using a 6 x 6 card base and edged it with a copic pen. I then cut another topper slightly smaller and inked the edges to match. I stamped a selection of the flowers and elements from the stamp set Daisy days PDz7452 and embossed them in a variety of different soft colours. Using the stamp set Spring Wishes PD8043 I chose the sentiment and embossed onto another piece of card and fussy cut it out. Then for the star of the show I used the lovely Helga Hippo stamp set Cutest Hello PD7805. I stamped her onto card and coloured her in using my Faber Castell Polychromos pencils. I then fussy cut her out and mounted her to the card using foam pads to add some depth. I added a little liquid drops on the front for additional interest and then using the paper pack Blushing Blooms PD8044 I decorated the inside of the card and embossed another flower to the insert. I also made up a little gift card holder using the same paper pack and stamp set.

THE CHALLENGE IS 

ANYTHING GOES

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

Julie Barnes - Here is a card I have made using one stamp set called Great Day Florals PD7148. Such a lovely set and so versatile. The aim was not to use any pinks - that is hard! I started by ink blending a 6 x 6 card base and stamped several of the flowers and elements onto the card and shaded some. I stamped, coloured and fussy cut the larger flower head and toadstool and added to the front of the card to give it some depth. I then used papers fromVintage Candy paper pack PD8004 for the inside of the card, decorated the insert and envelope to math. I used my Faber Castell pencils for this make using the following colours:

• Cobalt Turquoise
• Light Cobalt Turquoise
• Emerald Green
• Light Green
• Light Cadmium Yellow
• Light Yellow
• Orange Glaze
• Cadmium Orange

RACHAEL - I've been working with the gorgeous new Botanical Bliss collection and this card was very simple to make but I think very effective, I love using inks and vellum together. The stamp from the collection is called Daisy Dragonfly and also has co-ordinating outline dies and layering stencils too!

Julie Nagle - This card radiates a playful vibe with a fun "I’m stuck on you" sentiment that perfectly captures the whimsical charm of this adorable design. The cute Desert Cactus image is colored with Copic Markers while happily showing off it’s smile against this flirtatious digital paper - Pretty Winnie Daisy Papers. Please follow My Instagram, My Facebook

Nunzia - I used this PRETTY FLOWER WREATH printable stamp which is from this amazing bundle - such great value and very versatile!

Wendy - Hi everyone! We're playing with flowers for this week's challenge and I just love this one! It's from the Watercolor Flower Stem Digi and it comes with this beautiful flower, sentiment and some gorgeous paper. Thank you for looking!

Wendy - Hello and happy Digi Choosday everyone ! Today I'm here with a vibrant floral easel card that I've made using the pretty Butterfly Flowerpots digi deal, its such a perfect set and included a pre-coloured version if you don't like to colour or you just need a quick card. I've included one of the papers from the recently relaunched Helga Hippo collection along with a sentiment from the very sweet Lily Bug collection. A really easy and quick card to create and I hope you like it! Happy Crafting !

Maz - For today's 'Flowers' theme, and not to use pink, I created a collection of floral projects using the NEW Botanical Bliss Collection using green and purple. For my large gate-fold card with belly-band and the tag, I used Radiant Roses. The stepper card was created using Hydrangea Ribbon All coloured using Distress Oxides and Zig Clean Color pens. More details can be found on my blog

Huge thanks to the design team for all their inspiration today - we hope we've given you lots of ideas to use in your own cards - remember! We LOVE you to copy the ideas we show you, it's what we're here for!

THE CHALLENGE IS 

ANYTHING GOES

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

Julie Barnes @the_stamping_heffalump - Here is a card I made for our May challenge with the theme Ocean. I used the gorgeous mermaid stamp Ula from the Ula Swishy Tail set PD7711 and stamped her onto some kraft card. I made up a round easel card and added some paper for the background from the paper pack Mermazing Ocean PD7952. I coloured her up with Prismacolour pencils using the following colours: PC1017 - PC1092 - PC939 - PC927 - PC928 - PC 948 - PC942 - PC1012 - PC914 - PC1072 - PC1070 - PC1068 - PC905 - PC992 - PC1104 - PC1001 - PC1033 - PC1014 - PC1018 &
PC948
I heat embossed the sentiment that comes as part of the stamp set, fussy cut it out and mounted it on some foam pads and then added to it to hold open the easel card. I then added some sparkle; cause mermaids have to have sparkle!

CHRISTIN B - Hello! Today I made an easel card in shape of an oval with this beautiful Coral Mermaid behind the rocks. I colored her with my alcohol markers and cut it out with an oval to put it on my card. The sentiment from the set Coral Mermaid quotes I made inside the card with dimensional pads for making the easel effect.

Wendy - Hello everyone Happy Digi Choosday! Have you been taking part in the MerMay events across social media - there's just a few more days to go so still time to join in - why not have a look at the Coral Mermaid Collection. For my project today I've created a 5" x 7" picture using one of the papers from the collection and the gorgeous Coral Mermaid on Rocks, coloured with Promarkers. I've added lots of lovely sparkle to her tail which I wish you could see as its magical. Have a fabulous day. Love and crafty hugs Wendy x

Please find me on Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest

Wendy - Hi everyone! We are in the full swing of summer in my neck of the woods, and what better way to celebrate than with mermaids!!
