Rachel - For my Challenge piece I've used a tent fold to create a bit of depth and add a 3D  effect to my card, Ive used distress inks, for the background with Little Kingdom Stamp Soup which Ive paper pieced with Blushing Blooms paper.  I've popped a step by step tutorial over on the main blog if you want to know more. I can't wait to see everyones challenge pieces.

Hi everyone, Susie here - with my very first tutorial for Polkadoodles!  I've created a lovely wall hanging featuring Birdcages...I hope you like it!...theres a full tutorial over on the Polkadoodles blog if you want to find out more...


Irre: Hello everyone. Another challenge, and for that I've made a bow card. I used papers to the bow from the Bright & Beautiful paper pack. Stamped a sentiment in the middle and added a mixture of clear gesso and flower pot stones. For the background I used stamps from the Amazing texture stamp set. 
Feel the inspiration yet?

Jane – Hello everyone hope you are keeping safe and well! Today I have a card to share that I made for my lovely sister-in-law’s birthday. 
I have added a VERY discrete ’60’ just in case she thought I had forgotten how old she will be LOL, and I have a picture tutorial on my blog.
All Polkadoodles products used:
Sentiment: PERFECT WISHES
Paper:  BELLA FLEUR


Lou: I recently made my own junk journal and simply couldn't resist using a whole host of Weirdre Mixed Media stamps to create a double paged spread. I've stamped on to the journal pages themselves and also on to a few Gelli Plate prints. This collection of stamps really stands out on any mixed media surface.


I have also have a video on my YouTube Channel showing the pages "coming to life" HERE & on my blog, close up photos of my pages sharing greater detail,

Nikky...I made this large A4 size project using the latest Stamp Soup sets Garden GLory and Surprise which we launched on Hochanda in May.  Can you believe this amazing face is made with the most bizarre looking stamps?

Irre Hello everyone. Today for this challenge I chose to make a folded card, and I did a double tri-fold shutter card. I had a lot of fun with the folding, stamping, coloring and played a little bit with one of the new stencils.

Down below can you see how the card looks all folded together.

The main focus is the new character Weidre. I just loved coloring her. I hope you enjoyed this card, I did.
Polkadoodles products used:Adorable Florable - stamp set
Posydoodles basics - Tags dies



Terry I have made a giftbag, I played with the fabulous vintage papers and some beautifull flowerstamps and the Snowball stencil to accesorize the bag. I have colored the flowers with aquacolor pencils and the centre of the flower is done with glossy accents. Last but not least I have placed a sentiment in the front. 

The products I have used are:




Jane – Hope everyone is keeping safe and well! Today I have decorated an art journal page with some of Polkadoodles fabulous, funky and fun clear stamps.
