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

We are very thrilled to welcome the talented Julie Nagle to the team this week - make sure you head to her socials and follow her blog!


Julie - I am super excited to have joined the Polka Doodles design team, and what better way to start than with a Mother's Day card. This card has layers of dimension with ink blended clouds and grass, gorgeous flowers and a sparkly butterfly from Butterfly Flowerpots. The inspirational sentiment from Perfect Peony definitely spoke to me after losing my mother just 2 short months ago. This card was most certainly inspired by her. My Instagram...

Merja - On my card I used beautiful Flower Meadow digi image. I layered two images with a text editor program, printed it and coloured with alcohol markers. I wanted to keep the card otherwise simple, so I just added some green cardboard and added a sentiment made with All About Her Sentiments stamp set.

Nunzia: In this period I'm totally in love with these adorable Elephants. This card is dedicated to Mother's day and I coloured Family Love Elephant digi with alcohol markers and I surround it with a combination of Spring tons-of-love patterned bundle and some flowers cut off of a paper from Flower Meadow. The sentiments are from Mothers-day-messages-and-sentiments bundle.
Wendy - Hi everyone! It's Mother's Day and I can't think of a better way to celebrate than with flowers. The Darling Buds Daffodil Flower Girl from the Darling Buds Flower Girl Bundle, is a gorgeous image that embodies spring. All of the ladies in this collection are so beautiful and fun to color. Thank you for looking!

We are thrilled to announce a new member to the team today - big hello to Christine, we are looking forward to sharing all her amazing projects with you all! Make sure you follow her social media, she'd love to hear from you and follow you back!

Judy: My DT project for this week is a Mother's Day card using Bluebell Flower Girl Darling Buds. I printed this pretty digi and colored with Prismacolor Pencils before trimming to a rectangle shape. This piece was matted with silver metallic card. I added ribbon to the upper left and lower right corners. The image was framed with a die cut and added to the card base where another ribbon was added and the sentiment printed. I added pearls to complete my design.

Renske - Hello, Crafty Friends! In this edition, I've crafted a heartfelt Mother's Day card. I used the digital stamp "Bunny Rabbit with Mum greetings card",and coloured it with my alcohol markers.The backdrop is fashioned from the Love always printable papers 3 bundle, wich boasts a charming heart-shaped window to frame the sentiment, 'Happy Mother's Day. May your day be as special as you are.' You can find this sentiment in the "Spring Flower Mothers Day Friends Greeting Sentiments" set. With careful assembly and the addition of extra blooms from the digital stamp, this card is sure to bring a smile to your mum's face. Hope you like it. Happy Crafting! My Instagram: @renske.wishes.you

Christine - Hello everyone, I'm super excited to join the Polkadoodles team so for today I have made two cards. The task was to create a card for Mothers Day and for my first card I chose this cute Butterfly Tree Fairy and colored her up with my Copic markers. For my pattern paper I chose three different sheets from the Alcea Hollyhock Flowers bundle. The sentiment is from Spring Flower-Mothers Day-Friend sentiments.

ENRICA - Hello crafty friends! This week I had no doubts about the subject to use for my card… My mom is passionate about gardening and, to be honest, her flowers are really beautiful! For her card I used the b/w image and papers from the Dahlia Flower 2 - digital stamp download, SVG, papers, greeting bundle, colored with Copic. The sentiment is from the Spring Flower Mothers Day Friends greetings sentiments set. I’m pretty sure she will like it!

Irre - Hello everyone! I made this cute tag using this fun Rebel digital stamp. I added lots of texture to give it a mixed media feel.

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


Pam - I selected Polkadoodles Lilac Haze Watercoloured Flowers. and made bright bold red flowers with monochromatic leaves that coordinated with the background paper from the digital package. After adding the solid background matting, I cut the coordinating red cardstock to wrap around the card. Once the flaps were secured, I added the tiny die cut scalloped edging and then the sentiment in the center of the 'v' to complete the card design.


Merja - I've wanted to use this beautiful Natures Beauty Girl image ever since I saw it first time 💚 I wanted to try something different and do a little messy look so I chose to play with Ecoline Brush Pens and water - even though there were the change that the printer ink would start to spread. But it didn't spread so much, maybe because I printed the image few weeks ahead. It was a nice change for using something else than alcohol markers and I think that messy look fits perfectly with this image.

RACHAEL - Have you been asked to make some wedding cards, invitations, save the dates, or other table wear for a wedding? This clear stamp set called Wedding Season is perfect for making them. For this invitation, I used a gatefold design with a wraparound front, embellished with the stamps in the set. To make matching backing paper I used the tiny heart in the set to randomly stamp making perfect matching papers! simple but elegant!

Nunzia - I created this card using the Happy Cactus collection which is so cute...

Wendy L - I created this pop up box using precoloured digital stamps from the Perfect Peony collection - unusual for me not to color myself but sometimes you just need to make something different to the norm. Hope you like it!


Janelle: Hello crafty friends! Today I am sharing this super cute Bathtime Elephant. I just can't get over how sweet this one is and how fun it was to color!!
