Polkadoodles Challenge–Anything but a Square Card

Hi everyone, time for me to share some inspiration for the current Polkadoodles Challenge. All our challenges are

Anything Goes

while for an added challenge the DT's are creating anything but a Square card.

For my DT inspiration this week I have made a delightful Easter basket featuring Helga Sitting Pretty.

I made the basket using a 12x12 sheet of cardstock and then punched strips from another 12x12 sheet to make the handle and side decorations.

Now all that's left to do is to hide the chocolates ready for the hunt on Sunday morning!! Happy Easter everyone, hope you all get a chance to relax and enjoy the break.

Polkadoodles Challenge - Something New

Hi everyone and welcome to another brand new Polkadoodles Challenge. All our challenges are

Anything Goes

while for an added challenge the DT's are featuring a something new in our creations.

I have used a really cute image from the Winston Bear collection - Winston Bear Celebrate and made a Happy New Year card - I think this image is just perfect for celebrating the New Year with friends. 

Here it is:

I printed the image using my Canon inkjet printer and then coloured it in with my copics. The colours I used are: E57, E55, E53, E51, E50, E47, E35, E33, E31, E30, E0000, BG0000, W00, Y26, Y23, Y21, Y00, YG67, YG63, YG61, G20, R21colourless blender ink.

, 

I then used an oval die cut to cut out the image and layered it onto a lace heart doily and some olive card. I cut out the card to match the shape of the doily. I tied a double bow and tucked it under a couple of wild rose flowers and attached it to the top corner.

Happy New Year !!!

Polkadoodles challenge - Summertime

Hi everyone and welcome to another brand new Polkadoodles Challenge. Our theme for this challenge is 

Summertime 

For my DT inspiration this week, I decided to use the gorgeous stamps from the Summertime and Daisydays collections. 

I stamped one of the Summertime flowers in gold over my red card as a background and then stamped the same image in red over some white card as a background. I then added a layer of summery orange vellum. I then stamped 2 butterflies and a flower and coloured them with copics, before fussy cutting them and adding them with a bright red bow.

The card is a sliding pop up card that I learnt to make in a class many years ago when I first started stamping.

Here is my card:

The copics I used are: Y12, Y14, Y15, Y35, Y38, R22, R24, R27, R89.

The best thing about these cards is they easily lay flat for folding:

And here is another side on view showing the pop-up:

Happy stamping until next time...

Polkadoodles challenge - Birthday Celebrations

Hi everyone and welcome to another fabulous Polkadoodles challenge. Our new theme is 

Birthday Celebrations

For my DT inspiration this week, I have made a cake card, because really, what is a birthday celebration without cake. To decorate my cardboard cake, I used a background paper from Winnie Fruit Punch for the icing, added a die cut sentiment and then decorated the cake with some toppers from Winnie Sugar Sprinkles and of course the candle embellishments  which I found in the Winston Collection. I also added some pearls, a rose and some ribbon and bows.

Here is my card:
