THE CHALLENGE IS 

ANYTHING GOES

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

Deborah - Hello all! Deborah here and I am working on my Easter cards for my granddaughters. They love everything that's cute and pink 💕 and this cute Winnie Easter Bunny definitely hits the mark! For this postage edge, oval shaped card, I selected the un-colored digi stamp Winnie Easter Bunny. I feel in love with this cute little Winnie all dressed-up in her cute little onesie. I decided to color her with alcohol ink markers using a playful rainbow of pastels. This digi stamp is also available in a pre-colored version, if you prefer. I finished the card by adding some printed papers from the Just Lovely Honeypie Printable Paper Bundle, a bow, and some embellishments. Listed below are the Copic Alcohol Ink Marker colors that I used to color this digi stamp.

Tinne - Hi everyone! For this challenge I created a soccer card using the Soccer Football Gnome precoloured image. I glued 2 white rectangle stitched cardstock pieces on top of a slightly bigger white base card. I cut out 2 little tags. One out of navy cardstock, and one out of a paper from the Work & Play Paper Heaven 1 paper pack. I glued them on top of each other, showing just a litte bit of the navy tag. I cut a grass border out of green cardstock, and inked it with Lucky Clover and Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide ink. I sprinkled it with water. Once drie, I sprinkled some Evergreen Bough and Ground Espresso Distress Oxide ink over it. I glued the grass border on the tag, and glued this on the card. I put foam tape behind my gnome image and a sentiment from the Winnie Daisy Greetings, Quotes and Sentiments pack, and also glued them into place. I made a bow out of twine, and glued it on the top of my tag. I hope you like it! Instagram page: Tinne Peeters (@robinette_crafts) • Instagram-foto's en -video's

CHRISTIN - I feel like spring and so I had to work with light colors for my next card for the new DigiChoosday Challenge. I have chosen a yellow flower paper from the Watercolor flower stem collection. In front of it I layered the Daisy Dance Flower Fairy which I colored with my alcohol markers. With the sentiment it’s a perfect card for mothers day.

Wendy - Hi everyone I hope that you are all well. Today I'm here to share a card that I've made that would be perfect to send for Mother's Day, especially to let someone know that you care about them...Mothers Day can be a difficult time for many of us. It's a simple thinking of you card using a gorgeous image from the January collection. This sweetheart is Glass Half Full coloured with Promarkers. I've created a simple popup card from teal cardstock and combined this with dotty papers from the Happy Cactus collection. The sentiment which I have foiled is from the Honeypie Just Lovely greetings bundle

ENRICA - Hello everyone! Today I’d like to share with you my teapot using papers and digital stamp from the adorable Bella Bear Morning Coffee bundle, the little “Time for Tea” sticker on the tag is from the Work & Play 12 Design Sheet - Barista girl/coffee/cake/waitress. This teapot is actually a small box (inside there are 4 tea bags), it could be a nice idea for a little gift or a place card. Hope you like it! Xx

Nat Martin - This time I have created a XL special tag with lot of color and lots of love :) I found marvellous the digital papers included with the stamps....so so beautiful!!!!!

For the project I have used this beautiful designs called Watercolour Stem and this Mothers day message...Hope you like It! Huge kisses, Natalia

We are thrilled to introduce Betsy to our team of talented crafters this week - we love her work and hope you'll follow her blog and social media too for some GORGEOUS projects she's going to be sharing with us all!

Betsy - Hello everyone! Bringing a little sparkly goodness in the middle of winter! I've used the Butterfly Flower Pots to create this card. I printed it on thin (90lb) watercolor paper. I colored the images with Copic markers and then highlighted the lines within the imageswith glitter watercolor paint. I added little mirror gems here and there and diecut the panel with a die from my stash. I mounted

the colored panel onto periwinkle glitter stock and then adhered to a white A2 size top folding note card. A perfect touch of sparkle for these cold gray days of February!

THE CHALLENGE IS 

ANYTHING GOES

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

Janelle: Hello Crafty Friends I’m back with a super cute valentine bear card. For this card I used TooCute digi stamp, Pretty Winnie Daisy Paper and Winnie Daisy Sentiments

• Bear: E 30, 31, 33, 34, 35
• Bear shirt: BG70, 72, 75
• Nose/ears: R01, 11, 20
• Hearts: R11, 20/ B000, B41/ BG70, 72/ G40, 43/RV 91, 93

Candace - For today's challenge project, the theme is February Birthday - Amethyst, use puurple and diamond shape. I created this February Birthday card using the image Pisces Digital Stamp and Zodiac Paper Pack. I used a diamond shape die cut to cut out the pattern papers and purple cardstock.

KIM STEWART -For our Design Team Project this week it was using my Favourite colour purple. Yippee. I bet you think I'm going to use Winnie since i love her so much eh? HA! fooled you, not this time. I chose Serenity Fairy Earthstar for my card front. I love her wispy hair and dress. I printed her out quite big so she fills up most of the card, which i typically do 6" X 6". I added some diamond AB jewels to the card front, and Diamond glitter glue to make her wings sparkle. A simple little birthday wishes tag that hides behind the image. My paper selections come from the Lilac Haze set. They fit perfectly with my purple/lilac fairy.

Renske - I am excited to share my latest creation - a shaker card featuring the adorable digital stamp 'Hippo Helga Bedtime'. Since I wanted to make a get well soon card, this digital stamp of Helga in her pyjamas was very appropriate. To match the digital stamp perfectly, I coloured Helga in pink shades. I used the pink paper with hearts from the 'Hippo Paper Heaven 4 digital paper set. Although the card is simple, the shaker element adds an extra touch. Additionally, the sentiment 'Feel better soon' from the 'Helga Hippo Sentiment' set helps to convey a sincere message. The heart pattern on the paper can also send some love to someone who is feeling unwell. I hope you like it. Happy Crafting! My Instagram: @renske.wishes.you

Jane – My diamond shaped card is to celebrate my mum’s birthday, and as her birth stone is amethyst our DT theme this week was perfect. I have watercoloured the beautiful FLOWER MEADOW digi deal and added the ‘Mum’ from the WINNIE SUGAR SPRINKLES QUOTES KIT and the ‘Birthday Wishes’ from the WANDA SENTIMENT BUNDLE.

Deborah Hello all! Unfortunately, sometimes I need a card for someone who is not feeling well. It's always a good idea to have a few of these in my stash for when the need arises. For this week's card, I decided use Sparkle the Unicorn un-colored digi stamp which also comes with cut files. I decided to color her with alcohol ink markers using a playful rainbow of brighter pastels. She is also available in a pre-colored digi version, if you prefer. I finished the card with a sentiment from the Winnie Daisy Fairy Collection . Check out all the other digi images from the Sparkle Unicorn collection... they're adorable. There are so many cute ones, you can get a great deal by purchasing the Sparkle Unicorn Big Kahuna bundle.

NATALIA KUZAK - Today, I would like to show you something completely different. I've been wanting to create something from the delightful Winnie Wonderland collection for a while now. It is available at the Polkadoodles store in various options, ranging from individual digital stamps to toppers and themed sets. I used the largest set for more flexibility in choosing elements, resulting in an interactive card with spinning wheels inside, perfect for this theme. All elements were printed and placed on the wheels, also decorating the entire card. How do you like it? Let me know!

Wow!! Lots of gorgeous inspiration for you this week to use - we hope you'll share what you make with your Polkadoodles products on our Social Media! Share in our Facebook group here...

THE CHALLENGE IS 

ANYTHING GOES

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

Kim Stewart - For my first Design Team project in 2024 I went with CAS because i was all carded out from my crazy Christmas card creating. I chose Freddy Fox for my card and some decorative paper (3 designs to be exact; two outside and one inside) as well as https://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/autumn-fall-paper-patterns-1-printable-craft-card-making-digital-downloads and https://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/autumn-fall-paper-patterns-1-printable-craft-card-making-digital-downloads/.  I Coloured cute Freddy up with my Copic markers, fussy cut him out and popped him up on a center circle. What's so fun is, if you aren't into colouring or don't have the time https://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/ has coloured digital images as well. So it's really quite easy to create a simple card such as mine with relatively minimal supplies.

Make 2024 the year you tackle digital images. You won't regret it. Have a Crafty Week!

Jane – Happy New Year everyone! I hope 2024 has started well for you! My first make for this year is a birthday card for my brother using the MUSIC RECORD GNOME bundle. I used some extra backing papers from THIS COLLECTION too.

JANELLE - Hello crafty friends! Here's a belated winter card using Ski Theo Penguin and Theo Penguin Greetings/Sentiments . It's so hard to remember birthdays in the midst of holiday season! As always for more inspiration be sure to check out my IG @sparkle.craft.happiness and Facebook.

Copic colours:

Penguin:BV 20, 23, 25, 29

Penguin Inside: C00, 0, 1

Penguin nose/chest: Y11, Y00Penguin Scarf/hat: BV000, 00, 02

Penguin sunglasses/skis: BG70, 72, 75

Merja - On my card I used this cutie Eli Elephant with Snowflake Balloons image and coloured it with alcohol markers. To the background I used Tangled Layering Stencils, Snowball Snowflake Bubble Dots Stencil & Distress Inks, acrylic paint, and a couple different pastes - so there's lots of stuff and layers 😁 The sentiment is stamped with Big Birthday Surprise stamp set.

Deborah - Hello crafty friends, Deborah here and for this week I chose to make a birthday card with the Octavia Thinking digital stamp in honor of Nikky's Birthday. I colored her dress with pink and orange Copic markers to give her a warm look. The digital sentiment is from Winnie Celebrations 3 and the digital papers that I used came from the Honey Pie Just Lovely Paper Bundle https://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/just-lovely-honeypie-18-printable-paper-download-bundle/ and the Eden Collection Paper Heaven Bundle https://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/eden-collection-paper-heaven-1-10-digital-craft-download-bundle/. If you would like to use the same Copic colors that I used to color Octavia, I have listed them below.

• R: 32, 43, 81, 85
• RV: 11, 13, 14, 23
• YR: 02, 61
• E: 00, 11, 13
• BV: 20, 23, 25, 29
• G: 24
• YG: 17

Judy: This week's DT card is created in honor of Nikky's birthday! Her favorite color combo is pink and orange and she loves slider cards. I've used Winnie Sunshine Delight Bouquet as my focal image and colored with Prismacolor Pencils before die cutting into an oval shape. I used 2 patterned papers for the background. The floral paper is from Spring into Easter Printable Paper Patterns Set 1. The striped is from Winnie Sunshine Delights 6x6 Printable Paper Pack 2. Pre-colored flowers and a b/w butterfly were fussy cut and added. They are from the Winnie Sunshine Delights Embellishment Bundle. I chose both of my sentiments from the Rose Budd Craft Download Bundle. My slider is pulled up from the top center of the card and the butterfly on the right slides up a channel cut into the card. I added ribbon and some pink pearls.

Renske - Happy Birthday Nikky! We have created all projects with Nikky's favourite colours, pink and orange, as it's her birthday soon. I don't used these colours much together, so it's a nice challenge to use them this time. Nikky loves slider cards, so I made a birthday slider card using the digital stamp "From all of Us" and coloured it with alcohol markers. I used a cheerful background paper from the Winnie Celebration paper set to make it even more festive. I printed out the digital stamp multiple times to use the balloons to attach to the slider mechanism. This way a beautiful bunch of balloons comes out from behind the girls. To make it complete, I used the sentiment "Celebrations" from the set Winnie Daisy greetings, quotes and sentiments. I hope you like it. Happy crafting!

My Instagram: @renske.wishes.you;  Facebook: Renske.wishes.you; 

Tinne - Hi everyone! We are celebrating Nikky’s birthday, and this is the card I made for this occasion. I used the beautiful Flower Meadow digital stamp, and coloured it with my Copic markers. 

These are the combinations I used:

• Top left flower: R24, R22, R20, R01 and R000
• Top right flower: E17, R22, R20, R01, R000
• Middle flower: YR27, YR24, YR21, YR000, E44
• Bottom left flower: the same combination as the middle flower
• Bottom right flower: R35, R32, R30, R00, Y38, Y32, YR24, YR21, YR000, E44
• Greens: G46, G43, G40 and G28, G24, G21, G20 and G19, G16, G14, G12 and YG17, YG13, YG11

After I coloured everything, I cut the image to the right size and sprinkled some black paint over it. Once drie, I glued it on a white base card. Next I cut out a thin frame, using sparkling golden paper and white cardstock. I glued them on top of each other to create strength and dimesion. I white heat embossed some sentiments from my stash on black sentiment strips, put some foam tape behind them, and glued them on my card. I hope you like it!

Irre - Hello everyone. I'm back with a new project for Polkadoodles. I chose this time to create a small canvas. I created this with the digital stamp called Rebel Rebel Girl. I colored her with Copic alcohol markers. The background of the canvas I colored with ink spray and acrylic paints. I decorated the canvas with sewing thread behind the colored stamp and framed the canvas with black flower pot stones. I added some more textures with art stones and added with splatters to the canvas. Finally, I added a title from the Winnie Daisy greetings, quotes and sentiment pack.  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/scrapbyirre. Instagram: @scrapbyirre
