Today is our last challenge of 2022 and we're giving the team a little break, but we'll still be opening up the challenge right up so you can continue to enter through the holidays so keep popping in for our great weekly offer & lots more inspiration too! Our next challenge will start again on Tuesday 10th January.


So let's take a look at the Design Team's creations this week - they were asked to give you inspiration for a New Year celebration - they can make anything but have to use this color palette:

We are very excited to welcome a new Design Team member today - please say a big hello to Lorena, and we hope you'll all love her projects, please follow her blog!..

LorenaHello! I'm Lorena and this is my first project for the Polka Doodles design team. I have used this spectacular fairy digital stamp that I have colored with alcohol markers and then I have tinted with colored pencils. For the first plane of the card I have used a paper printed with small polka dots belonging to pack zodiac co-ordinates. To complete the set, a small sentiment dedicated to the new year 2023. I hope you like it and it inspires you in your creations. All the best for Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Catrin - Todays Inspiration I am using the image Theo Penguin 'Sleigh Time'. I coloured the image with Nuvo Markers and then fussy cut around the top part of the image leaving a slope at the bottom half. I then die cut a square from the Snow backing paper taken from the Theo Penguin Paper Bundle 3 Pack. Using foam pads I added the penguins over the snow backing paper. The happy Holidays sentiment is taken from the Theo Penguin - Greetings/Sentiment pack and I have uploaded it onto my Cricut to cut it out.
Melanie - Morning Crafters, Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas when it arrives. The design team were asked to create a project with the theme New Year using a particular colour palette. Today I have made a card for New Year. Firstly I created an ink blended background using my distress oxides in the colours of seedless preserves, faded jeans and Peacock feathers. I then created a card mat using the Circle star numbers and the zodiac chart from the Zodiac collection, I used numbers 20 and 23, I then added the sentiment 'Best Wishes for the New Year' which is from the Winnie white Christmas. I purposely left the Zodiac chart and numbers black and white so that the background stood out. To finish off the card I coloured the stars in a gold colour and added some glossy accents to the bigger stars.
Happy Crafting and I hope Santa is good to all of you.  Mel x
Jane – My fairy tale New Year’s card is based on the Cinderella story and stars WINNIE FAIRYTALE DREAMER. As you can see, she is fleeing down the staircase as the clock strikes midnight leaving her shoe behind. I made the sentiment by cropping and adding ‘Best Wishes for a Happy New Year’ from WINNIE WHITE CHRISTMAS (which is also where I got the numbers) and ‘Fairy Tale’ from the SERENITY SENTIMENT PACK. The background was created using the CONFETTI LAYERING and CELEBRATION stencils. As this is my last post of 2022 may I wish everyone a very happy Christmas and a safe and healthy New Year! See you in 2023! xx
Candace - I used the image Tweet Sounds - Winnie Angel, sentiment from Winnie White Christmas and different paper packs to go with color palette. I also copic colored the image to reflect the color palette. Love how this card turned out to be just more than a New Year's card!!

Martine - Hello everyone...this year is almost over and so i have a New Years card for you. I have used Winnie Sugar Sprinkles Springtime for it .And i have used a lot of sprinkles! In the papers that is lol. Well... i hope you all having a wonderful Christmas and New Year...and stay crafty for the next year!!
More great ideas from the team this week - we hope we gave you lots of inspiration!

So let's take a look at the Design Team's creations this week - they were asked to give you inspiration for a Winter Wedding - let's see their great ideas!   

Today we have a new DT member to introduce - please welcome Monika to the team, we're excited to see her work & hope you'll follow her blog & social media! 

MonikaHi all crafters! Here is Monika and 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!

Wendy - Hello everyone - today I have created a card for a Winter Wedding, I've used the Wedding Car digital stamp from Work and Play 9 - Love and Kisses, coloured with Promarkers. The sentiment is from the Winnie Daisy Greetings bundle and the Wintery papers are from the Rose Budd Collection.

Christin How do you imagine a winter wedding? In my imagination a black wedding suit and a dark red dress is a beautiful eyecatcher on a snowy winter wonderland. That is why I coloured the bride and groom stamp in this way and made this wedding card. For the background I used a beautiful paper from the Winnie Winterland Paper Heaven 5.

Rose Andrew  Hello crafty peeps, welcome! Today, I am using digital image of Bride & Groom from Work & Play 9 Collection  with digital paper collection from the same I am using a PRE Coloured digital image, fussy cut around the image and adhere on 3d pop dots into the circle. Handmade paper bow together with printed sentiment. 

Maritza:  Hello my crafty friends, for this week our theme for team is Wedding Winter, and I love this theme. I got married at this time, a few years ago.For my card I used the digital  collection Work Play  Love Kisses, I used precolored image Bride & Groom. I have created some dimension in the dress, print the image 2 times and add lace. Digital papers are Wizardy Magic Little Dude. Happy crafting!


More great ideas from the team this week - we hope we gave you lots of inspiration!

So let's take a look at the Design Team's creations this week - they were asked to give you December Birthday inspiration for a Boy - let's see their great ideas!   

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

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.

Madison - For todays challenge was to create a Birthday card for a boy. I have used the ever so cute Winnie Yummy Gingerbread image, as I think the little boy eating the gingerbread man is so sweet. Excuse the pun there. I have coloured him and then fussy cut and added him to the tri-fold card I have created with a sheet of white card and a mat layer of Elvis Wesley Christmas papers. The 'Birthday'  sentiment has been added to finish off the card. 

Martine - I have used this gnome and cute snowman for it.... Snowman Gnome Festive Fun 
Then that sentiment.. it's for free ! You can get it here Those little gifts is a cutting die from a Swedish brand and i add a little snow on the whole card.
Kim Stewart - Winter themed birthday card for Design Team challenge this week.   I chose one of the new penguin digis.  They’re soooo cute.  I picked Theo Penguin Wrapped up.  
My decorative paper choice also from the Theo Penguin bundle added a couple sentiments and some snowflakes to add to the winter theme.  Have a crafty week ❤️
More great ideas from the team this week - we hope we gave you lots of inspiration!
