Megan - Hi! Today I am sharing a simple stepper card featuring this Birthday Wanda digi. I used the Spring into Easter pattern paper for the background layer. I gave the paper an inky edge to help bring it forward. The present is from the Accessories Digital Stamps, there are so many fun digis to use as supporting images. To finish the card I used a bit of a sassy sentiment from Winnie Daisy greetings.

KM: For this week’s challenge, I had so much fun creating a card for Father’s Day using the Little Dudes Superhero digital stamp—it’s such a versatile design, perfect for celebrating the everyday heroes in our lives! I cut out the word “DAD” using my cutting machine, added some stenciling with Distress Oxide inks, and finished it off with a touch of sparkle using glitter markers. Then, I added a black cardstock as the base. Since this is giving a comic vibe, it inspired me to go with primary colors to make it pop! To all the amazing dads out there—Happy Father’s Day!

Kaye - For this project, I wanted to commemorate my daughter's dance recital so I decided to make a picture frame making use of the Just Lovely- Honeypie Printable Papers and to accent the frame, I added textures using a gauze sprayed with Distress Oxides, and twisted it some of it to create a flower shape. For the main focal point, I used Dancing Queen Honeypie because she reminds me so much of my daughter in the recital, happy and cute!

Wendy - Hello everyone wishing all a lovely week - we were asked to create a card suitable for Father's Day so I decided to use an image from the very cute Horace and Boo collection to create a fun pop out card. This is Horace and I've coloured him with promarkers. The papers I've used come from the Winnie Daisy Fairy 2 paper bundle 2 and I chose a sentiment from the Gnome Feeding Bird kit. Just a few sequins and some die cut balloons to finish off my more masculine card for today.I love how all of the collections work so well together to create just what you want. Have a fabulous week. Love and crafty hugs Wendy x

Jane – For my card today I have used brown ink through the HEAVENLY CIRCLES stencil onto Kraft card to create a subtle background then added images from the GNOMES FOR MEN collection.
Rachael - I LOVE all the new Polkadoodles MDF and chipboard! I have to admit it's always been a bit out of my comfort zone but I am embracing it fully and am now completely addicted! This is a set of journal covers (you get 3 different ones) and I've painted it then added papers, the amazing Green Fingers chipboard and some lace and dies, this is all for me, me me!




Nikky - I made this mixed media card using our new Honey Bee dreams digital collection and teamed it up with some MDF and chipboard from the new Honey Bee Farm MDF craft kit - I LOVE this kit so much! 






and this co-ords with this amazing Home is Where the Heart is MDF kit too - so cute!

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

 


Julie - Hi everyone! I decided to use this fun plaid pattern paper for my card this week. The apron design is enhanced with mouth watering BBQ food images from the BBQ Chef Cook Bundle. I added apron strings for dimension, and the sentiments are perfect. Details to complete this card can be found on my blog. Instagram, Facebook

Carrianne- Hi friends! My card this week was created for my uncle, who is retiring, and this BBQ, Chef, Cook Gnome digi stamp was just perfect for the occasion! I had so much fun coloring him and bringing him to life. I used some patterned paper for the background, layered a stitched scallop die to make the gnome pop, and added a few fishtail flags to celebrate his big milestone. Here’s to grilling up some relaxation and flipping to a new, exciting chapter in life!
Copics used:
Gray: C00-C01-C02-C04-C05
Red: R35-R37-R39

Rachael - I had lots of fun making this birthday card, I really like how it turned out. this was so easy to make, I just coloured the rainbow lines with Copics, then stamped and masked lots of balloons from the All Occasions stamps & dies together. I cut around the balloon edge with scissors and then just attached to the card. I think I'll use this technique again!

Wendy - Hello everyone and happy Digi Choosday - the best day of the week. Today its all about Coffee and Drinks and my favourite coffee when I was at work was a large skinny latte from a well known outlet so here's my version. I used the very versatile Coffee Tea and Cake collection, resizing the Latte Coffee Cup to fill an A6 card front. I added a couple of the puns to the image before printing out and then coloured with Promarkers. After adhering the image to the card panel I fussy cut out on the right hand side and then added some red check paper to the inside panel. Just a few pieces of card candi, some coffee coloured splatter and a little glossy accents to make the perfect card to send to someone you love. Have a wonderful week. Love and crafty hugs Wendy x

Kassi - I created this cute dinosaur themed card using the Sticks and Bones collection - this is an older collection in the store but I love diving back and seeing all the lovely things I've missed for a long time!...


Linda - Hi! I created this circle card for a star lover - I adore this cute image from the Little Dudes collections - you can also get this as a clear stamp too! 

Jane – This sassy little lady is called WANDA SODA POP and she sits on a heart cut from the WANDA PAPER SET 2. I have surrounded her with die-cut bubbles and added the punny sentiment from the MESSAGES & QUOTES bundle.

Taty - Hello creatives, today I share my DT inspiration for the new picnic/BBQ themed challenge. I created a card using the BBQ, Chef, Cook Gnome For Men digital stamp, really fun and perfect for inviting friends to a spring barbecue. I colored the image with Prismacolor pencils and then cut it out precisely. For the background I used an embossing folder and finally I embellished the card with die-cuts of cooking utensils, ladles and a chef's hat.

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...

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

Enrica: Hi crafty friends! For my card this week, I’ve colored with Ohuhu markers the sweet Butterfly Fairy Winnie Daisy digital stamp and paired it with the Garden Fence and Birdhouse Country Scene background. I love how these two images match together—hope you like them too! Big hugs xx


Jenny D - Today, I’m sharing this sweet Mother’s Day card made with beautiful Polkadoodles digital supplies! The adorable cute girl with flowers stamp and the garden watering can are from the digital stamp collection that are digitally colored with soft, springtime hues. The background paper comes from the Spring into Easter digital pack, adding a fresh and cheerful touch. The heartfelt sentiment is from the Spring Flower digital set, perfect for celebrating the most special women in our lives. Handmade cards make Mother’s Day extra meaningful—what creative projects are you making for Mom this year? I'd love for you to follow me on Facebook and Instagram as Crafting with Jenny

Wendy - Hello everyone and happy Digi Choosday! Today I have a magical Mermaid card to share made using the fabulous Winnie Mermazingcollection, its such a sweet image called Collecting Shells - something I still love to do at the beach when we visit. I teamed the image with one of the papers and a sentiment from the collection and also added the little pod of dolphins from Coral Mermaidand the seashells from the Starfish & Sandcastles collection, all coloured with Promarkers in fun pastel colours. Have a fabulous crafty week and don't forget to join in the challenge. Love and Crafty Hugs Wendy J. x

Kerri - Today I am sharing a card I made using Hey Lovely, Love Heart Die and Cup of Kindness Die. I stamped multiple images of the flowers I then colored them with Inktense Pencils. While flowers were drying I cut out multiple leave die cuts from Cup of Kindness. Love Heart Die I cut one of those as well. Once everything was cut out and dry I put the card together on a white base.
