So let's get to today's inspiration... 

--------------------------------

Monika - Hi all crafters - I want to share with you my first project. I created a winter wedding card using a 'Bride & Groom' digi stamp which is so much fun to work with. This digi stamp is perfect to colour in using a variety of media; for my project I used alcohol markers and metallic watercolour paints to add some sparkle. For the background I used a beautiful 'Winnie Wonderland Paper Heaven 5' design paper and a sentiment from 'Barista Coffee/Cake Bundle'. To embellish the project, I used a snowflake punch. Happy crafting! 


Shruti
 - Hello! I"m excited to be here with my first project! I've made card for Pancake Day. 
I love to bake Cake 🎂 and specially cupcakes 🧁 for my sweetheart daughter and always get fascinated by cake designs and frosting 😍. She has only chosen this cupcake with heart shaped waffle 🧇.Keeping that in mind I thought of designing this card with multiple layers, doilies, ribbons 🎀  etc. To make this I've used the Waffle Cream Cupcake digital stamp, printable papers from the Coffee and Cake collection & Sentiments too.

Catrin - My Card inspiration today is using the image 'Pancake Heaven - Miss Sugarpops' coloured with Promarkers. I have used several layers of backing paper from Horace & Boo Paper Heaven pack 3, adding lace and some stamped and die cut Baking utensils. The sentiments are from the Pancake Sentiment Pack.
Lorena - To start the year I show you a Valentine-themed rocket card. I have chosen Bobby Bear with his garland of hearts since he is adorable! This time I have colored and made the background with colored pencils. And I have chosen the greeting from a download of Love Always printable sentiments here. Do you like the result? Hugs! x
Candace - For today's challenge project, the theme is Pancake Day, and use any image but Christmas images.  I used Pancake Oopsy digital image, colored her with markers.  The sentiment is from Pancake Sentiments and the pattern papers are from Paper Heaven 1 and 10 from Work & Play Collection and Paper Haven 2 from Winnie Sugar Sprinkles Collection.

Martine Hello, here is my first card for 2023... Pancake Day in the UK... I don't know what it means because we do not celebrate this day in my country lol. But i believe it has something to do with eating pancakes....? So... i colored up this beauty.. Pancake Oopsy . And added that text... i love that phrase : "Just sugar coating your day" , from the sentiment package Pancake Heaven . As always colored with distress ink , and the flowers are frommy stash. So let's eat pancakes!! I love it !

Kim Stewart - Happy Pancake Day! For my Design Team challenge project this week I picked Sparkle the Unicorn(she’s so adorably cute)  I chose Sparkle Unicorn Surprise 

My decorative papers come from Winnie Celebrations Kit 3 - Papers 2 downloadable printables as well as these Pretty Winnie Daisy papersI added coloured embellies from the Helga Hippo Embellies download bundle - I had to add lots of glitter and sparkle to her mane and tail.  Her name is after all Sparkle Unicorn. Have a crafty week!


MariaG - Hello everybody, I hope you had a lovely holiday season and you received lots of new crafting goodies that I'm sure you can't wait to try out. For this card I have used the Daisy Heart Gnome, she looks so cute holding that heart. I have used my colour pencils to colour Daisy and cut her out and 3D mounted onto a background using the Love/Romance Love and Kisses paper bundle 3, which I matted onto 3 layers. I added some silk paper and pink card and added the Love is in the air sentiment which I downloaded from the Love Always Printable Sentiments big bundle and finished off with some gem embellishments. I hope you like the card and have a go at making one yourself. Bye for now, MariaG.

Super fun projects from the team this week - thanks so much for all your inspiration ladies!

Sonja Magnusson
 - Hi everyone! I'm so excited to have joined the Polkadoodles team and this is my first project! Saying Thank You can be so easy this quick card is simple and done in no time. For today's challenge I used the sweet Love Heart - Honeypie digital and positioned the text I got from Winnie Sunshine Delights Sentiments Bundle directly on the lovely paper which you find in this Work & Play 10 Collection - Paper Heaven 7 on top I used the Thankyou - Sentiment - Happy Crafting!

Jacqueline here and today I'm going to share with you how to create a card you should always have in your stash. A get well soon card, for just in case! Polkadoodles recently began releasing a 'Stamp of the Month' which are amazing bargains at a ridiculously low price, and are often those stamps that you may not need every day, but are must haves for just when you need to create something special to show you care...

Sarah - Diamond Easel Cards are such a fun thing to create - I decorated mine with the BEAUTIFUL Spring surprise patterned papers and the largest butterfly from the Butterfly Trio dies.
ENRICA - Hi everyone! Hope your new year has started well! For my first project this year I've made a simple Z Fold Card using the super sweet Gnometastic Sunny downloads.  Patterned papers are from the Pretty Winnie Daisy papers And the sentiment is from the Winnie Sunshine Delights Sentiments Bundle.  Happy crafty new year!! x
Donna - For this weeks’ card I used the Winston Bear Sewing digital stamp and paper from the Adalene Paper Pack to create a simple iris fold behind a circle aperture. I used alcohol markers to colour the image to coordinate with paper pad and I doodled some faux stitching to add some interest.

So let's get to today's inspiration... 

Candace - For today's challenge project, the theme is December Birthday, make anything for a boy.  Slip & Slide Ice Skating Elvis Wesley Moose image was perfect for a boy birthday card!  I used Posydoodles Circle DiesAll About the Dudes paper pack and the sentiment is from Elvis Wesley Moose themed sentiments.


Catrin - HI Everyone!For todays card December Birthday Boy I have used this adorable Gnome and snowman image from the 'Gnomeazing Christmas Stamp set' and coloured with Promarkers before fussy cutting. I have then used different Sizes of Oval nesting dies and backing paper from 'Winnie White winter paper pack 3 and 2. I distressed the top of the sky oval with Chipped Sapphire and the bottom with Stormy Sky distress ink and splattered with White and gold watercolour paint. I then added the Gomes and Snowman and stamped the sentiment, from the same stamp set, on to Vellum. I finally added some snowflakes and gems to complete.

Melanie - Morning All, this week the design team have been challenged to create a project for a December Birthday and anything for a boy. For my project I have created a birthday card with a bit of a twist. I first created my background using Wild honey, pine needles and abandoned coral Distress Oxides. I then used the tree from The Tweetest Christmas stamps and stamped repeatedly on to the background using tone on tone inks. For my digital image I used the Party Little Dude Digi and to finish off the card I did a mashup of sentiments which reads – ‘Merry Birthday’ both parts cropped from other sentiments using the Winnie white Christmas and the Zodiac collection sentiments. Happy Crafting! Mel

ENRICA - Hello everyone! For my project of this week I've made a square easel card using the super sweet Birthday Gifts - Winnie winter celebration digital papercrafting download colored with Copic markers. On the inside I made a paper rosette and added a few precoloured gifts from the Baked With Love - Embellies digital craft paper download. Happy Birthday to those who celebrate these days! xx 

 Judy:  My DT project for this week's challenge is a card that is perfect for someone with a Christmas birthday! I used the Wonderful Christmas Clear Stamp SetThe large poinsettia from the set was stamped 3 times with Versamark ink and embossed with gold embossing powder. The flowers were colored with Castle Arts Pasteltint Pencils. I layered the flowers onto a die cut background and added a sentiment from Winnie Celebrations 1 Sentiment Digital Kit, which was printed and die cut with a label die.

Natalia - Christmas time is a beautiful time and it gets even more special when you also celebrate your birthday. For this occasion, I created a Christmas shaker card, albeit at the same time sweet, shiny, and ideal for a birthday. The Rockin Robin Christmas stamp was perfect for this. The whole front page is painted with Distress and splashed with water. Inside the card, I placed a tiny gold hologram glitters. Hopefully ... you like this idea.
Sarah - Christmas Birthdays can be hard, so for this card I chose a wintery birthday card with just a little hint of Christmas with that cute little robin! 
Sarah - Christmas Birthdays can be hard, so for this card I made a wintery birthday card with just a little hint of Christmas with that cute little robin! It was very simple to make, I just created a soft background using the Land & Sea stencil, then added lots of die cut trees. I finished it with a cute little robin from the Christmas Tweetings stamps & a sentiment.
Jane – This is a birthday card I made for one of my brothers using the fabulous CAPRICORN digi from the ZODIAC collection.  I played around with the image in Word and added a hat and bear bottles from the GNOMES FOR MEN bundle. I also cut away the flowers and added some balloons from the BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS stamp set where I also got the sentiment. The paper is from the ALL ABOUT THE DUDES paper pad.

A great selection of Christmas inspiration for you this week - thanks so much to all the team!
Ariadna  - I love this little Cable Car digistamp from the new Theo Penguin collection - it's the perfect image for this challenge and I loved using it! I outlined the image with a fine liner pen to give it a more mixed media look, I hope you like it...
Rachael - I'm not really a winter sports kinda person, but I can see how much fun these two cute penguins are having skating and sledging.  They are from a stamp set called Latte Christmas tweetings paired with the tree from Curly Christmas and  a sentiment from Merry & Bright christmas greetings.   I decided to make a different shape of card so it really stands out on someone's mantle this Christmas!
