So let's see what the Design Team have been making this week...we asked them to bring some inspiration for cards with folds - we hope you're inspired!...


Betsy - Lily Ladybug is so adorable sitting atop her mushroom! I printed out the image with the sentiment using Lily Ladybug Bundle 7 and Love Always Sentiments. I die-cut the panel before coloring. I colored her and added patterns to her clothing. I chose bright colors for my background panels and I added white gel pen highlights and tiny sequins to embellish!


Åsa -Hi crafty friends! This week´s theme was a Birthday card with a different fold. For my card I used three different digis, Flying Balloons Elephant, Birthday Cake Elephant and Flowers for you Elephant. Can you tell that I love elephants? I placed my sentiment among the balloons. I colored my images with my copics and added them to my little scene.

Kim Stewart - For our challenge this week it is make a card with a different fold. I created 2 flip cards, one vertical and one horizontal to show how easy it is to change things up. I chose the Watercolour Flower Stem. My paper choices were from Tons of Love paper pack 1 as well as Wanda Plain Janes. I added some pre-coloured flowers from Helga Hippo flowers/foliage download set as well as Lily bug Ladybird Ephemera Flowers download . Don't forget to enter our challenge. We'd love to see what you've been creating!






Martine - Hello everyone, I am back with this sweet Unicorn card.. I used Hooray Sparkle Unicorn for this one... Isn't she the sweetest? As always colored it with my Distress inks. Put it together with some awesome background papers... Coral Mermaid Printablepapers . And then added a few ( lol) waterdrops on it, witch a did with Mod Podge Dimensional Magic ... ( also on the digi it self ). I added some hearts as well on it and my card was finished !


Jennifer @pueen_queen - I don't usually make fold cards so this one was a little out of my comfort zone but it turned out great in the end, I think it's good to test yourself and change things up sometimes! I decided to work with the Wanda ephemera pack which includes lots of great printables that are 'things' and objects perfect for this type of card. I used the Rainbow digital paper pack for my background papers and the Birthday candle digital stamps and birthday sentiments digital stamps too = hope you like it!


Jane – What could be better than a cute sheep wishing you a happy birthday? Well a car full of sheep of course. This fabulous digi set is called SHEEPY SHEEP SHEEP (I kid you not) and if you are not keen on colouring it comes in a pre-coloured bundle HERE. I used background papers from HORACE & BOO and the sentiment is from the HOPPY BIRTHDAY CLEAR STAMP SET.

Huge thanks to the design team for all their inspiration today - we hope we've given you lots of ideas to use in your own cards - remember! We LOVE you to copy the ideas we show you, it's what we're here for!

So let's see what the Design Team have been making this week...we asked them to show some inspiration for Easter - it's only a couple of weeks away!...


CHRISTIN B - I used this Cute Bunny Rabbit with butterfly from the Lucy Monkman range in the Polkadoodles store.  

Maritza: Hello my crafty friends, for my Easter project this week, I have used a digital image Snowy Dog & Bird Lucy Monkman I have painted the image with colored pencils, I have used digital papers from the collection Pretty Winnie Daisy Papers, sentiments are Winnie Sugar Sprinkles

Nat Martin - Here I come with a new project. This month it’s about Easter and I’m using an image from the Lucy Monkman range. On this occasion I have made a slim card trying to put the focus into the coloring as I made a little scene with the stamps. The digital stamps and sentiments I used were The bunny and birds stamp, The cute bunny rabbit and Spring into Easter messages sentiments.
Wendy - Hello everyone I hope you are having a good week. It's not long until Easter now so why not have a look on the Polkadoodles website as there are some beautiful collections perfect for your Easter projects. Today I'm sharing a card made with one of the gorgeous digital stamps by Lucy Monkman. This is the Cute Hen and Chicks image and I think they really don't need a lot of colouring to make a fabulous and very arty card. I've teamed this with a gold foiled sentiment from the Spring into Easter Collection and some simple mat and layering for a lovely and classy Easter card.




Huge thanks to the design team for all their inspiration today - we hope we've given you lots of ideas to use in your own cards - remember! We LOVE you to copy the ideas we show you, it's what we're here for!

So let's see what the Design Team have been making this week...we asked them to show some inspiration for Easter - it's only a couple of weeks away!...

Åsa -Hi there crafty friends! It´s all about Easter gifts today and I made this candy box. I´ve used this adorable digi Cute Bunny Rabbit sitting on Easter Egg. I colored my image with copics and made some grass in the background. The sentiment comes from Spring Flower Mothers Day Friends greetings sentiments.

Betsy - Today's card features Gil Rabbit Growing Sunflowers. In honor of spring I've turned them into daisies! I composed my card in the computer using Winnie's Celebration Kit 1 Papers 2 for my background. I used an excess piece of the green stripe and die cut it with a grass border die. I colored up Gil using Copic markers. I used a side folding card base with a white scalloped panel, then the panel I popped up on foam. I adhered the sentiment to the top left. I embellished with a white gel pen, tiny iridescent butterflies, a heart button on Gil's overalls and tiny yellow flowers.
Copic colors used: Yg00, Y02, Y15, Y17, YG11, YG63, YG23, B000, B01, B93, B95, B97, Roo, R02, E33, E35, E37, B1, C3, C5, W0, W1, W3, W5

Jennifer - Hi again crafty friend, today's project is is a really fun one for giving Easter candy a one-of-a-kind twist! Let me tell you how I made 3 custom candy bars, so easily! I started with Polkadoodles digital products "daisy lily ladybug", "little bunny rabbits", "hoppy easter", and "rebel printable paper bundle 2". I measured my candy bars to find out how big to make each wrapper. I made the bunny 5¼x5¾", and the other two 4¾x6¾".
After I got the images I wanted layered onto the different pattern paers, I printed them all out as a single layer, on a color printer. To finish the designs, I just colored each of the little characters with alcohol markers.
Now that each wrapper is finished, I attached each one to some shimmery cardstock, from my stash. All 3 wrappers are now 5⅝" by 6¾". The bunny wrapper is a vertical design, so it only has a shimmer boarder of about ¼", where the two horizontal designs have a boarder of about ½". But the border is simply a design choice, and the entire wrapper can be done in a single layer, if you print your wrapper to be at least 5½"x6".
I used some double sided adhesive tape to attach my wrappers to the candy bars. The easiest way I found, was to put the adhesive directly onto the top side of the chocolate bar, then lay my custom wrapper on top. This way, I could be sure that my images were centered on the front of the bar. Then I added more adhesive to each side and folded them over the back of the bar. And that's it!
I hope you like this quick and easy custom candy wrapper idea! It can be great in easter baskets, stocking stuffers, valentines, and as party favors. You can use any pattern paper, and any images you want (even pre-coloured to make them even faster) to make them match your theme. Hopefully I've inspired some new crafty ideas for you. Enjoy your weekend, and have a creative day! ❤️Jennifer S @pueen_queen
***all dimensions are to fit a standard U.S. sized hersheys milk chocolate candy bar.

Candace - For today's challenge project, the theme is Easter and make an Easter gift or treat. I used the Bundle, Spring into Easter to make this darling treat basket. The bundle comes with black & white images, colored images, pattern papers and sentiments. It's an awesome bundle to have an all in one to make a project!

Martine - Hello everyone, i have got a new card for you and because it is almost Easter it is a eastercard! lol I made a basket and two of the same cards with a little basket between them. So you can put chocolate easter eggs in it and giving it away . I used a embossing fold to make it look like a basket and colored it with Distress oxide. I used Butterfly Chick for it . Isn't she cute? There are more of them in the store, under the name Spring into Easter . That word...easter... is from Doodlebug Design . And as always i colored it with Distress ink.
Have a great Easter time!.... and don't eat too many eggs ;)

KIM STEWART - Happy DIGI DAY! For our challenge this week it was "create a gift for Easter". Since my kids and now grandkids, All love Lindt Gold Bunnies i decided to create little baskets for them to sit in. I did 2 smaller baskets for the mini Gold Bunnies and a large square basket to hold a bigger bunny. Lots of piddly cutting but so worth it in the end; The baskets turned out so cute. I added a few mulberry flowers to the handles and die cut out some tags from the Spring Into Easter digi bundle https://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/spring-into-easter/ It has the cutest Toppers in the set. My paper are all from my extra pieces bin. Don't forget to enter the challenge. You might win. We'd love to see what you're creating this week.

Jane – I have decorated my Easter gift bag with these adorable chicks from the CHIRPY CHIRPY CHEEP CHEEP set and added a sentiment from SPRING INTO EASTER messages bundle.


Huge thanks to the design team for all their inspiration today - we hope we've given you lots of ideas to use in your own cards - remember! We LOVE you to copy the ideas we show you, it's what we're here for!

So let's see what the Design Team have been making this week...we asked them to show some inspiration for March Birthday cards...


Christina P - Hi everyone. This week's theme was using turquoise and a circle so for my birthday card I used the Ruby birthday cake digital stamp and next to her I added a sentiment using the Winnie Sugar Sprinkles Sentiment/Quotes Bundle. I coloured Ruby in using my alcohol markers then die cut the stamp into a circle. I then printed some of the beautiful papers from the Pretty Winnie Daisy papers. I cut some into circles to add in the background and used one of the papers as the back layer. I finished the card using some flowers and twine from my stash.

Maz - This week we followed a colour palette and used a circle. For my March Birthday card, I used Rebel Birthday Cake along with backing paper and a sentiment from the same collection. The presents were created using Sweet Birthday Stamp Set. The candles and balloons are from Birthday Celebrations Stamp Set. All details can be found on my blog.

Maritza: Hello my crafty friends for this week our theme is used circle and followed colour palette, I made a card using a digital image Ruby Looking Pretty, and papers digital are Autum /fall papers 3. This image painted with colours pencils. Sentiments are Winnie Celebrations collection...


CHRISTIN B - The design team was asked to make something for march birthday. The most days in march standing in the zodiac sign Pisces. Although my birthday is in February it’s also my zodiac sign. Therefore I wanted to make something with this beautiful pisces and combined it with the zodiac star sign circles. I printed it out in extra large to made a decoration for me with the tambour frame. I colored everything with alcohol markers, now some pencils are empty:).

Wendy - Hello everyone wishing you a wonderful week - today were making March Birthday cards so I decided to use the wonderful Pre-coloured Pisces image from the Zodiac Collection along with one of the sentiments. It's the perfect image as we had a colour palette to use too for this challenge and to include a circle! Did you know that March birthdays fall across two zodiac signs ? - Pisces and Aries. I printed out the image 3 times before fussy cutting out and decoupaging and then added lots of lovely sparkle to the design - you can never have too much sparkly don't you think?

Nat Martin - This time I could not resist using the cute Milkshake Drink Rebel digistamp, I love this one, she has so much attitude.  The background papers are from the Coffee Tea Cake Digital Paper kitHope you like It! ❤️

Huge thanks to the design team for all their inspiration today - we hope we've given you lots of ideas to use in your own cards - remember! We LOVE you to copy the ideas we show you, it's what we're here for!
