OK, over to the challenge - let's see what the team have created for you today! 

Natalia - I've been busy creating with the brand new Sweet Moments collection which is just amazing - if you love stamps, dies, CHIPBOARD (yay!) and stencils you need to check it out ...I made this cute camera with the Chipboard kit which is incredible value for money and is packed with great stationery embellishments to play with...



Nikky - this month I'm in LOVE with our new MDF and Chipboard, I just can't get enough, so I'm sharing a couple of different projects I've been making...
First up is this amazing WOODIES kit - this is a brand new product line for Polkadoodles! Basically you get a printed sheet with die-cuts that just pop out and you attach them to the MDF outlines to create your own amazing embellishments! Of course, you don't have to use the pre-printed sheet, you can paper piece the shapes too and use them however you want, but you will LOVE these, they are just beyond cute! Each kit makes at least 2 cards and has loads of extra pieces like flowers and a sentiment too so it's ultra versatile...

Next up I've also been playing with this GORRRRGEOUS Hearts MDF collection - wow, so many things you can make with this, it's stunning! If you love 3D crafts you will love this and it's a HUGE kit with nearly 70 pieces!
So this is an A4 kit and makes this gorgeous triple layered A4/8.5 x 11" heart which can be used either as a journal book cover, OR you can add it to the open A4 box to actually create a lid and make a keepsake box - it's epic! You get so much in the kit you will be creating for ages with it!

SO gorge! And look at all the stuff you get in this set...great value!

Jane – This gorgeous HYDRANGEA STAMP and MATCHING DIE-SET make a great thank you card and is so easy to put together. I simply used white embossing powder and some loose watercolouring and added one of the pot shapes from the GARDEN DELIGHTS STENCIL. Ready in a flash…well almost. Have a wonderful Christmas everyone and a very happy 2025.



Enrica - Hi crafty friends, let’s start thinking of Valentine’s day! For my inspiration project I’ve made three tags using cute birds from the Wings of Love Valentine collection: Love Bird Rainbow Valentine, Love Bird Heart Bunting Valentine and Love Bird Rose Flowers. I’ve colored these sweet images with Copic markers. Digital patterned papers are from Bella Bear Morning Coffee Digi Deal, Bob the Dog in a Boat Digi Deal, Spring Tons of Love paper patterns 1 and Helga Hippo - Pretty Printable Papers 1. All the sentiments are from the Spring Tons of Love greetings and the embellies are from the Barista Coffee/Cake bundle kit. Hope you like them as much as I do!!


Megan - I had some fun with the assignment of Pancake day, not a card. I did something I don't normally do and colored SVG Cut files. I made a fun spiral notebook with lined paper to feature the images. I used the pre-colored images from Baked with Love and Pancakes Lemon Food for the background images. I added shading with Copic markers to the stars, stack of pancakes and the word sweet, by doing this it cut my coloring time in half. The girl from Pancake and Waffle time is an SVG file I cut in white cardstock and colored with Copic markers. I added all the images on a base layer of papers from Paper Patterns-2 Winnie Daisy Fairy. The project turned out light and fun and I love it.

Jenn B - I made a little tag for Valentine's Day, I used a piece of watercolor paper and used pink pigment powders blended on it, then sprayed some gold Mica spray. I used Love Bird Heart , colored with alcohol markers and fussy-cut then attached with foam dimensional tape. I added some glitter glue to the heart, eyelashes, & shoes. Finished off with some yellow & white floss-type ribbon.


Jenny - I am gifting the neighbors with a pancake basket and needed a tag to go along with it so I created one using the Polkadoodles digital Pancake Time adorable girl and the perfect sentiment from the Polkadoodles Pancakes and Waffles greeting bundle.
I colored the image using Copic markers: E29, E53, E00, E21, E000, E25, E35, B24, B12, B28, B26, C0, C3, Y11, Y06, R22, RV10
