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

Leah - Hello my friends! I am sharing a card today that I created using the Thinking Rebel digital image from Polkadoodles. I coloured this image using my Prismacolor Premiere Pencils and layered it on some digital paper from the Winnie Special Moments Paper Heaven 4 collection. I created the sentiment with my Cricut Joy. I love how bright the colours on her turned out!
Judy: My inspiration card this week is Spring themed. I used Butterfly Flowerpots as the focal which was colored with Prismacolor Pencils and fussy cut. My background is comprised of white card stock on which the sentiment from Spring Flower Mothers Day Friends Greetings Sentiments Printable was printed. The bottom of the card is a patterned paper from Winnie Daisy Fairy Printable Paper Patterns 4. I added 3 gems to complete my card design.
Enrica - Hi everyone! Spring is almost around the corner and it’s time to think about taking care of the garden. For my card I used the amazing digital image and patterned papers from the Cute Gnome feeding bird and mouse value bundle colored with Ohuhu markers. I love this gnome, he is simply delightful taking care of his little friends as he prepares to plant seeds in his garden! Happy crafting! xx

Wendy - Hello everyone I hope you are having a lovely week - it's time for some more inspiration for the Digi Choosday blog and this week we were asked to make something for Mother's Day but NOT a card...Hmm that got me thinking!I decided to create a little home decor piece as I know this is something that my Mum would have absolutely loved to hang up. I started with a small 5" wooden embroidery hoop, stretching cream fabric across this before coating with gesso to give a nice base to work on.
Next, I printed out the Pretty Flower Wreath digi deal once onto thin card and again onto vellum, die cutting out the card image and adhered this to the hoop using Mod Podge and then fussy cutting out the vellum flowers and butterflies adhering these with 3D glue gel. Finishing touches were some super sparkly crystals and purple twine to hang the finished piece. Love and crafty hugs.
Wendy xx

Christin - For upcoming Mother's Day I made some different paper rosettes. They are versatile, you can use them as plugs, pendants or embellishments for gifts or cards or something like that. For decorating them I used the beautiful pre-colored Darling Buds, the Daffodil, the Hyacinth and the Primrose flower girl . I made the rosette for each girl from cardstock in a matching colour. Finally I used some sentiments from the Tons of Love greetings collection.

Kerri - Hello today I am sharing a bookmark I made using the digital stamp called Flower Fairy Sitting On A Toadstool. Image was printed onto card stock colored with Faber Castell Polychromo Pencils. I also used the Physical Stamp sets called Special Times and To Gnome You Is To Love You. I stamped the background trimmed the image and put all of it together.

Adam - I Made a generic card using the Polkadoodles Crafts "Every Wish Stamp" and "Pretty & Pink Papers". This clean and simple card was basic stamping of the flower image and coloring it with alcohol markers. I added a few embellishments and layered it on a dark purple then onto the card base of Pretty & Pink floral paper.

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... 

Judy: Hello there! My card for this week's post was created with Radiant Roses Clear Stamps Radiant Roses Outline Dies. I stamped the roses and leaves and colored with Spectrum Noir Markers before die cutting. A paper weaved panel was added to the white background. I used 4 different card stocks cut into 1/4 inch strips weaved diagonally. The die cut roses and leaves were adhered to the background. My sentiment was stamped with the Splendored Love Stamp Set from the Timeless Rose Collection.

Wendy - Hello everyone I hope you are all well - its time for some more inspiration for the current Digi Choosday blog and this time as we're approaching Valentines, its all about love.... Do you make or send valentines cards?  If you do then there are loads of wonderful images on the website, definitely something for everyone.  
For my card today I've used the Love and Kisses image from the Work and Play 9 collection.  Shes such a sweetheart and I chose to colour her with a turquoise and red palette using promarkers.  The papers are from the Wings of Love collection and I chose a sentiment from the Love Always collection.  Sending you all love and crafty hugs for a wonderful week.






Kerri - Sharing a card I made using the Digital Image Bride & Groom from Love & Kisses Work and Play 9 collection. I printed the image onto white card stock and then colored it up with Prisma Pencils. The sentiment is from the Clear Stamp set called Sentimentals but this set is not in stock.


Thanks so much to the team for their stunning inspiration this week!

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


Leah - Hello friends! I am sharing a Valentine's Day card featuring the Bunny Rabbit with Bunch of Flowers digital stamp set from Polkadoodles. I have paired this with digital paper from Bella Bear Morning Coffee and a digital sentiment from the 3 Little Bunny Rabbits set.
Carrianne - Hi friends! Today, I'm sharing a super fun card for this week’s theme—Pancake Day! There are so many adorable images to choose from, but I couldn’t resist Flipping Pancakes Digital Image because she totally reminds me of myself when I try to flip them. I always end up making a mess! I colored the image with alcohol markers and used a stitched square die to cut it out. For the background, I chose the Paper Patterns 2 - Winnie Daisy Fairy for a fun and playful touch. The sentiment is from the Pancakes and Waffles Greetings Bundle, which was the perfect finishing touch for this card.
For more inspiration, be sure to follow me on Instagram @crafticarri. I’d love to connect and share more creative ideas with you!

Wendy - Today on the Polkadoodles challenge, we're celebrating one of the yummiest holidays - "Pancake Day". It's not an official holiday in the states, but it should be. For my card, I used the black and white digital stamps from Pancake Waffles Digital Stamps and colored them with my Copic markers to create a delicious breakfast fit for this holiday. I'm getting hungry! Have fun creating and good luck!

Kerri - Hi everyone! I'm Sharing this card I created using the Digital Stamp called TOGETHER ALWAYS. The pattern Paper you see is from the collection BAKED WITH LOVE PAPER HEAVEN. Image and paper was printed onto White card stock. Bunnies were colored with Prisma Pencils.

Jane – Not a digital project today but I hope that’s ok. This gorgeous HYDRANGEA STAMP and MATCHING DIE-SET make a great thank you card and is so easy to put together. I simply used white embossing powder and some loose watercolouring and added one of the pot shapes from the GARDEN DELIGHTS STENCIL. Ready in a flash…well almost. Have a wonderful Christmas everyone and a very happy 2025.

Nunzia: It'a a real good idea to have a pancake party, they are so delicious. And a themed greating card is perfect for any occasion. That's why I decided to choose this cute precoloured Pancake time image adding just some sparkle on the dress and flowers. Than, I prepared a background with a paper from Noodle Panda Set, cutting out some elements to create a flower in the corner. For the sentiment, which is part of Pancakes and waffles greetings bundle-1, I would to print it in a large size to give more interest to the tag.
Megan - I had some fun with the assignment of Pancake day, not a card. I did something I don't normally do and colored SVG Cut files. I made a fun spiral notebook with lined paper to feature the images. I used the pre-colored images from Baked with Love and Pancakes Lemon Food for the background images. I added shading with Copic markers to the stars, stack of pancakes and the word sweet, by doing this it cut my coloring time in half. The girl from Pancake and Waffle time is an SVG file I cut in white cardstock and colored with Copic markers. I added all the images on a base layer of papers from Paper Patterns-2 Winnie Daisy Fairy. The project turned out light and fun and I love it.
