Irre: Here I am with a Christmas card for you all. I started by coloring the cute Rudolph from the Winne White collection with Copics. Then I used the accents stencil on the background on Rudolph and on one of the papers from the vintage journal & ephemera paper collection. I attached them together. Then I die-cut out poinsettia flowers that I assembled and decorated the card with. I also glued some rhinestones in the middle of the flowers. 

 Next, I made a mixture of modeling paste and mini art stones that I added to the card here and there. Finally, I die-cut out a sentiment to the card. I hope you really liked my card, I'm so happy with it. 

Now for my big suprise. I've made a step-by-step video of me coloring the Rudolph. You can find it on my YouTube-channel or in my blogpost when you click on my name above.

Polkadoodles products used: 
Rudolph digital stamp - Winnie White Christmas
Poinsettia Lace - craft cutting die

Corry...This time I made a card with embossing. For the background I used alcohol ink. I dabbed the ink on the card. After that, I stamped the snowcrystals with embossing ink on the card.. I sprinkled it with white embossingpowder and heated it with the heat tool. Then I masked the card on three diffrent colors cardstock and I applied pearls around with the pearl pen.

So let's find out what the Design Team have made this month!...

Corry Hey there crafters.   This time I have made a card with the beautiful flower stamp pretty perfect...For the background I used distress inks and different stamps....At first I stamped the flower on the card.  I blended the leaves with chlorine bleach. After that, I stamped the flower again - I have colored the flowers and butterflies and then I cut it out and glued them on the card. Finally, I placed some glitter on the flower and butterflies...

Terry: Hi there, This time I made a couple of Art Journal Pages, just love to play around with stamps on the background, started with Distress inks, after that I played with all kinds of smaller stamps, from the Honey Daisy, Stampsoup Lemonade Fizz, Texture Gallore, Lavender Tea, Making Faces, Papillon. Bella Fleur, Regal Peacock and Funky Alphabet Stampset, stamped the girls on both pages and colored them with pencils and with inks. With a stencil I placed the swirls and used Modelling Paste for it and mixed orange acrylic paint in with it. And last but not least I stamped some sentiments on the art journal pages.

Irmelin: Hi everyone. Today I'm sharing a canvas I've made with one of the many digital stamps that are in the store. The one I chose was from the Stick & Bones collection. I colored this one with Copic Sketch. The colored image I glued to one canvas and started to add elements. I added fiberglass tape, wood bits from the canvas, string, and branches. I also made a mixture of art stones and glue that I adhered to the canvas. I colored the canvas with ink sprays and decorated with flowers. Finally, I added a title. Hope you will enjoy my project this month!

Jane – I love my art journals at the moment and played with my A6 version today. I used glitter pens and watercolours to create a crazy coloured background and added lots of lovely Stamp Soup stamps for interest. 

The focal point is one of the stunning Oddella digis coloured with pencils.

Here's the products the team used...

Gorgeous projects as always!

Corry This time I have made a card with this lovely stamp Pip Monster Costume Onesie


For the background I have used distress ink and sprinkled it with water. After that I used delicate doodles-clear-stamp on the background and colored the Pip monster with zig markers.

The Polkadoodles products that I worked with are

Graceful Flower Girl 3 Polymer Stamps
Magical Corner Polymer Stamps
Textures Galore Polymer Stamps
Magical Grasses Stencil
Ribbon/Gift Frames & Corners Die Set

Terry: I have created a simple card this time with lots of fabulous clearstamp sets from Polkadoodles, love the flowers and colored them with aquacolors. The flower on the bottom of the card has been curled up to give it a 3D effect. After I stamped the flowers, I stamped some hearts on the card and colored them with half the waterpaint and with the Sparkle Pen from Spectrum Noir Last but not least I placed the sentiment.



The Polkadoodles products that I worked with are:
Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pens
Perfect Wishes Clear Stamp Set
Pretty Perfect Clear Stamp Set
Every Wish in the World Clear Stamp Set

Lou Sims: I have made a mini art book using lots of elements from the Creative Doodles Collection coloured with water colour acrylic inks ...

Front cover

Book opened



Polkadoodles products used:
Creative Doodles Collection
Colour Me card stock complete collection
Textures Galore Stamp Set
Funky Alphabet A5 clear stamp set
Making Faces stamp set
Daler Rowney Acrylic inks

Nikky...I wanted to share with you this super cute little A6 pocket book thingy I made using products from our new Making Faces collection which is part of my new Foundations range... 

 There's a closure which is held with magnets I inserted under the front cover so it has that really satisfying magnetic snap - am I the only one who cant stop closing that kind of thing? lol, open, close, open, close, open close....
The weird shaped stripey closure arm with the flower attached is actually just one of the doodles cut straight from the cardstock sheet (bottom right) - the card is 350gsm so really nice and heavy and perfect for book making...

 I inked up the inside with a mixture of different inkpads and followed the doodle lines on the same sheet to create 2 curved pockets which I glued in. I fussy cut some of the extra bits on the sheet to make embellies and just glued those in after I inked them up a bit...

 ...and then finally I Stamped the girls face and assembled the body clothes and doodled some curly hair onto her. I adore those specs, so cool and funky! I really love this little book it only took about an hour to make but there's something about it I really love, probably the stripes because I'm a spotty stripey girl (as my wardrobe will tell you).
I used:

Making Faces collection 

Gorgeous projects as always! Thanks team, you're awesome!
