Rachael - Hello! Happy Saturday and Happy challenge day! Today I"m sharing a couple of cards I made with the new Bee gnome printable stamps - I love this collection, it's so cute!

Renske: For this graduation card, I got started with the Graduation You Passed digital stamp. I coloured it with my alcohol markers. I made the rolled-up diploma myself and treated it with Distress Ink and golden pearl glue. I also added dots to the background with this glue. I combined the image with the text “You Passed” from the Winnie Daisy Sentiment set. I hope you like it again. Happy Crafting.

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 and coloured them with Inktense Pencils. While the flowers were drying, I cut out multiple leaf die cuts from Cup of Kindness. I also cut one Love Heart Die. Once everything was cut out and dry, I assembled the card on a white base.

Ana - Here’s a star-spangled treat for the 4th of July! I made this fun hat-shaped treat holder using my Cricut Maker and decorated the brim with the Gnome Men Football USA collection—perfectly patriotic and Father’s Day-friendly (double win!). Just pop in some sweets or goodies, and it’s ready to spread a little sweetness this holiday!

Wendy - Hello everyone - Do you make and sell at craft fairs ? I don't as it's not really a thing here where I live but when we visit new little villages I always love wandering round the artisan markets.

Our challenge this week was to make something we could sell at a craft fair so I decided to use the gorgeous new Honey Bee Dreams collection to Up-cycle some drinks coasters - I think they would be perfect in a garden room, porch or even outside if you have lovely sunny hot days. I simply printed a few pages from the kit and adhered to my old coasters before covering with Exterior Mod podge. I added some of the new Honeycomb papers from the adorable Buzzy Bee collection to the bottom of each coaster and a little gold gilding wax around the edges too. Have a fantastic Day. Crafty Hugs Wendy J x

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...

Enrica Hello! Today I am sharing these 3 cute tags using the lovely Rebel collection. I used the colours from the main bundle as my inspiration because all the papers are so lovely! See you next time!


Renske: For this challenge, I created a tunnel card with a full 3D scene using the Toadstool Lily Ladybug digital stamp. I printed the image to fit inside the smallest tunnel layer and coloured it with alcohol markers. The background was ink-blended with Distress Inks to create soft grassy hills and a sky. I added extra details using die-cut grass, leaves, flowers, and a butterfly to complete the scene. The layers are built with foam tape to give the card depth and dimension. Hope you like it. Happy Crafting!

Judy - This week's inspiration card was created with the Birthday Celebration Party Bundle. I coloured the cake digi with Prismacolor Pencils and fussy cut it. One of the patterned papers was used on the top part of the card. The tag digi from the printables included in the bundle was printed and coloured. I printed one of the sentiments included in the bundle onto the tag. The tag was fussy cut and added to ribbon and a bow. Pearls were added for a finishing touch.



Jenn B I used 2 papers from the Winnie Sunshine Delights 6x6 paper pack, and I die-cut a crescent moon from the same paper. I used one of the cute witches & sentiments from the Hocus Pocus Witches Halloween set, coloured with Copics and fussy cut before attaching with foam dimensional tape.


KM: For this week’s challenge, I had the sweetest time creating with the Winnie Ice Cream digital stamp—she’s just too adorable, enjoying a sunny day with one ice cream cone in hand and another to share! I chose bright summer colors inspired by watermelon to create a clean and simple background that really captures those carefree, happy vibes. I finished the card with the sentiment “Let’s Hang Out” from the Winnie Daisy Fairy – Everyday Greetings and Quotes sentiment collection. It’s the perfect card to celebrate sunshine, sweet treats, and spending time with friends!


Kim S - Check out this sweet birthday card I created using the Party Time digital set. The set is jam packed with adorable characters and sweet elements. Be sure to check it out. Are you a physical stamper only? Have you tried digital stamps? They’re is so much more you can do with them. Digital set used: Party Time Digital paper used: Daisy Fairy ll pack 2


Leah - Hi! Today I'm sharing this cute Camera flip book which is from the Sweet Moments chipboard. I decorated this with the other ephemera in the chipboard set but I'll also be adding lots of digis to go with it and finish it off!

Natalia - I decorated this lovely journal cover with the new MDF Journal kit - I can't believe you get 3 journals, they are gorgeous! This one has 3 layers to it so it has a lot of dimension and will be great to gift...

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!

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...
