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

The theme for this week is SUMMER! We've asked the team to create something cheerful, with bright colours. Let's see what they have come up with...

LEIGH...I'm celebrating 4th July for the Summer theme using this adorable digi stamp which is available in both black and white to colour or a precoloured version too if you need to make something fast!

ROBERTA...I used the digital "Winnie Starfish / Sandcastles - Relaxing Sunlounger" colored with alcohol markers (spectrum noir). I did the background with Distress Oxide: Broken China, Faded Jeans and Salvaged Patina.Then I glued some sand and shells that I took from the sea. I got the sentiment from the Lavender Tea stamp (code PDz7458).

ANITA...When I think of a cheerful summer past time, floating on a raft with a cool drink comes to mind. For this challenge I water colored in bright colors Winnie Starfish/Sandcastle – Float Away and paired her with a sentiment from Quotes - Winnie Special Moments. Sweet Winnie, in her teeny bikini, is really enjoying her cool lemonade as she bobs on the water!

Annette (Netty's Cards): I'm looking forward to the long sunny days of summer today with my seesaw themed rocker card using Seesaw Friends.  The papers are from the Eden Collection collection and they're watercoloured using Ranger Distress Ink Reinkers.

Myriam – Summer equals ice cream, lots of it! I’ve coloured Sparkle Unicorn with pencils and added glitter to her hair. These colourful papers are from Paper Heaven 3 Winnie Special Moments. The sentiment is a quote from the Winnie Starfish/Sandcastles bundle. Scoop it up!

DanniI chose Winnie Walking the Dog from the Starfish/Sandcastles Collection. She just seemed all summery with her big hat on and the cute dog just melted my heart with the sunglasses on. I used the digital papers from the Winnie Sunshine Delights Paper Pack 2 for my papers. They probably aren't quite as bright as I could have gone but they just made me smile and think of summer!


Maz - normally I colour my own images, but for this summer tag I decided to use pre-coloured Winnie Vacation from the Special Moments Big Kahuna Bundle. The sentiment words are from Super Sentiments Stamp Set. The flag banner is from Baubles and Banners Stamp Set (currently on sale!) Attached are some palm trees and a sun for that summery beach feel!  All details can be found on my blog post.


Maritza: Hello ... I made a Shadow box with a digital stamp Winnie Wonderland Flamingo, I have printed the image 2 times superimposed, I have painted them with colored pencils and cut out, then I have placed some mini birds feathers in pink. The papers are digital from the Vip Winnie Starfish / sandecastle collection, palm tree and embellishments are same collection.



Such amazing projects this week! We've definitely got that summer feeling now!

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

The theme for this week is to make something that moves. Ideally using bold colours and aimed at guys aged 14+. Let's see what our Design Team have created! 


LEE  - I just couldn't resist making a card with some movement for this adorable little Bananas About Ya monkey!! The card moves and the steps open up, although the paper makes it quite tricky to photograph! Nonetheless, he's bringing some colorful rainbow hugs and smiles your way! Along with the cute little Earlie Hedgehog Balloon!! I am totally in love with these Rainbow Papers and I use them so often. I hope this little guy brings a smile to your day!


LAURA -  For this week's challenge, I made a celebratory card for a teenager on passing their driving test. I used the fabulous Rocket Car Little Dudes Pre-coloured Digi Stamp. The cute brick wallpaper comes from the Rocket Car Little Dudes Digi Stamp set which includes amazing background papers and sentiments too.  I completed the card with a 'Fabulous News' sentiment from Winnie Sentiments 2. When you slide the car it reveals a little hidden message!




 Jane  I was asked to make a 21st birthday card for my sister-in-law’s nephew who loves cars, and this is what I made. The fabulous red roadster that I used is actually the wedding car from the WORK & PLAY 9 – LOVE & KISSES DIGITAL DOWNLOAD , I trimmed it down and added ‘21’ to the side of it from the STICKS & BONES COLLECTION. I used papers from WORK & PLAY 11, but the checked paper to make the flag is from LILY BUG LOVE. To add a fun element to this card both the car and the flag are on wobble springs.

Candace - For this week's challenge project, the theme is to make something that moves, bold colors and something for the guys aged 14+. I used the image, sentiment and one of the papers from Rocket Car Little Dude and also used one of the papers from Superhero. The Superhero paper is nice and bold colors which I also used on the rocket image. I thought the rocket image would make an adorable pull card. Super fun for the guys!


Sam - For my challenge card, I tried my first theatre card or also known as a sliding shadow box card. I used the very cool Drummer Troy Digi. To open the card, you pull out both sides at the same time to reveal the scene behind it. If you haven't made one of these before I definitely recommend you give it a go and I did notice there was a Drummer Girl in store too! Happy Crafting.


Madison - This is my penny slider easel card. Why have one card type/feature when you can combine the two. This guy has been coloured in using my alcohol markers and I've added mud splats all over him, definitely the sign of a good game. The football has been popped onto a penny slider element, to give the illusion of him kicking it. I've also used some bold papers to really make the card pop. All finished off with the perfect sentiment. 



Such amazing projects this week! And let us know if you loved seeing those GIFs of the cards moving!!

THE WINNERS OF OUR LAST CHALLENGE ARE AT THE END OF THIS POST
---------------------------------------------

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

We are VERY excited to introduce some new team members today! A huge welcome to AnitaRoberta and Marzena - we love their work and we think you will too! Make sure you follow all our team on their blogs and social media - they're all amazing crafters!

Anita - For today’s challenge “Smell of the Sea” I created a fun watercolored shell card using Winnie Starfish/Sandcastles - Seashells along with a cute sentiment from Winnie Starfish Quotes “Facebook Free zone”! These digital stamp shells are so versatile in that they can be resized to create a background and also a focal point. I can smell the sea!

Roberta - For my project, I used Meribelle Mermaid Pearl with paper from Winnie Starfish/SandcastlesI used the Meribelle Mermaid Pearl digital stamp which I colored with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers.

For the background I used the distress Oxide in the shades Faded Jeans, Broken China, and Salvaged Patina; once dry I sprayed some water droplets, and then with a stencil, I created the waves of the sea with a glitter paste. In the foreground, I have included some designs cut from Winnie Starfish / Sandcastles digital papers on which I glued some small transparent microspheres.


Marzena - For the Smell of the Sea card, I chose the mermaid Meribelle and coloured her in with Copics. For the background, I first punched out a large circle and glued the border to the main card and made clouds with the stencil and Distress Ink Mermaid Lagoon.
The saying is from the setThe life ring is here - I also coloured it with Copics and attached it with a hole punch to the tag from the set Winnie Starfish and Sandcastles with a white thread. I blended the tag with Distress Ink Mermaid Lagoon.


Annette (Netty's Cards) - I love living by the sea and try not to take it for granted. We're close enough to be able to walk to the harbourside for a meal or indulge in a gelato ice cream, followed by a meander along the promenade overlooking the bay before walking home again.  My card for today's Polkadoodles Digi Choosday is based on this theme, featuring Bella Bear Milkshake on an ice cream shaped cardbase using Eden Papers. I achieved the criss-cross wafer look on the cone by using the score lines on my envelope maker and added faux doodled stitching around the papers. The image is watercoloured using Ranger Distress Ink Reinkers.


Maz - Oh I can't wait to be beside the sea again! For this project 'Smell of the Sea' I used Winnie - Building Sandcastles and Relaxing Sunlounger. The backing paper is from Peeling Paint paper pack. I attached a few Tropical Palm Trees. The sentiment is from Winnie Mermazing Mermaid Quotes. The sky and sand are water coloured. More details on my blog.


Rose - Hi friends, I love the theme for this challenge, it's been a while since I visited the beach side. Hopefully one day! Today I am using Winnie Starfish/Sandcastles - Rocco Dinghy  with  Winnie Starfish/Sandcastles - Papers 2 printed the sentiment together with other embellishments. Read more details on my blog here.


Danni - The design team was challenged to create a card with the theme of "Smell of the Sea". Nothing screams the sea to me like a pretty mermaid!

My mermaid is the gorgeous Meribelle Mermaid digital stamp and the pretty papers are from the Winnie Starfish/Sandcastles Collection. I bought the VIPXXL Edition that came with tons of digital products! The collections are really such a great way to get amazing Polkadoodles digital products that all coordinate together. 


Maritza - Hello my crafty friends. This week the theme proposed to the design team is fantastic: Smell of the Sea. I made a shadow box using digital papers and embellishments from the VIP Winnie Startfish / Winnie Sandcastle download collection. The image I have used is pre-colored Meribelle Mermaid Swishy. I have printed it twice and added dimension.

Myriam – When I think about the sea, I imagine an underwater scene with a mermaid and lots of colourful fish swimming happily around. Like the scene with the song 'Deep in the sea' from the Disney movie The Little Mermaid. I colored the cute digital stamp Lil Miss Mermaid with pencils and mounted it with foam pads. I’ve used papers from different collections: Paper Heaven 3Winnie Sunshine Delights & Plain Distress ink papers. The sentiment is one from Winnie Starfish/Sandcastles Quotes.


Such mermazing projects this week! And welcome to the team, Anita, Roberta and Marzena!
