Polkadoodles Challenge

Another Friday comes around and the first week of the kid's summer holiday has gone. Only 5 more to go groan!!

So the Polkadoodle Challenge theme for this week's challenge is

Make a Gift Card

I made a little credit card sized card.

Inside the gift card where the pockets sit

I've used papers from the Sundae of Seasons CD and I've inked the edges with peeled paint distress ink. The image is one of the girls from the Pretty Sweet CD and I've coloured her with Copics. The sentiment is from the Sugar Plum Daisy CD. To finish it off I use ribbons, gem brads and punched flowers from my stash.

The other DT girls have made some great gift cards for you to look at and you can see them all here on the Polkadoodles Challenge blog.

We'd love you to join in and you could have a chance of winning a prize!

Sugarplum Daisy Part 2

So here's the last 2 samples of the Sugarplum Daisy CD from Polkadoodles.


I've used a shaped card and covered it in papers from the CD. For the background I printed out one of the scenes and used a Spellbinders die to cut around it. I then printed out a black and white image and some of the birds. The image was coloured with copics and her wings have some lace stickles on them.I added a ribbon and a sentiment from the CD.


My second card has been made with the printed images. I printed a bigger one out and then die cut it and printed a second smaller one and cut around it to use as an embellishment. A Martha Stewart punch has been used for the borders and I made the flower by rolling it around a quilling tool. Some pearls and ribbon complete the card.

And if you're still reading then those are my 5 samples!

Have a lovely weekend.x

Sugarplum Daisy

Today I'd like to show you some of the samples I made for the brand new Polkadoodles CD, Sugarplum Fairy which was launched at Harrogate and was also shown on Create and Craft on Thursday.



For this one I used a preprinted topper and cut it out using a spellbinders die. I coloured one of the black and white images with copics and added some lace stickles to her wings. The sentiments are black and white so you can colour them to match your project, so I have used lavendar distress ink to colour mine. I also used a preprinted border.

The next one is an easel card.


I printed out papers, border, sentiment from the CD and also another black and white stampie. Again I coloured the image and sentiment with copics and distress inks.The heart border and butterfly are from Martha Stewart punches.

My 3rd project is a little bag.



I bought some cheap little white bags from Hobbycraft. I covered the front of the bag with papers and then printed out the stampie. I coloured the image again in Copics.Added some stickles to her wings.The flowers were made with a couple of punches and papers from Sugarplum Fairy CD. The sentiment was printed out and again I dusted over some distress ink.

I have 2 more to show but I'll save them for tomorrow. Hope you enjoyed looking at my samples.

Polkadoodles Challenge

Well did you watch the C&C programmes featuring the brand new CD Sugarplum Fairy from Polkadoodles? It's a very pretty girly CD and I've used some of the items on my Polkadoodles challenge card from the CD.

The theme is

Mother's Day

I used a blank easel card and covered it with some Sugarplum Fairy papers and a preprinted border. I also used a preprinted topper and punched out some flowers with contrasting papers. The sentiment is also from the same CD as is the beautiful butterfly. I then just added some of my own pearls, ribbon and gems.

The other DT girls have made some beautiful mother's day cards. You can see them all on the Polkadoodles Challenge blog. Hope to see yours too!!

New Polkadoodles CD

Just giving you a heads up for a brand new Polkadoodles CD which is being launched tonight at 9pm on Ideal World. It will also be shown on the Letraset pick of the day shows on Create and Craft tomorrow, all throughout the day and our Nikky will be showing it off.

I've been lucky enough to work with the new CD to make samples for the show and I've gotta say I just know you are gonna love it!! It's called Sugarplum Daisy and you can see a little preview here on the Polkadoodles store.
If you love fairies then this is definately the CD for you.

On Friday Nikky is again on Create and Craft showing off some brand new goodies from Kuretake and she promises us mixed mediaers (made up name) that it's one not to miss.
