Polkadoodle Challenge 50 - For The Christmas Table

It's time for a new Polkadoodle challenge and the Design Team were asked to make something for the Christmas table!

I've used a church candle and printed one of the papers from Here Comes Christmas onto some vellum then added some red velvet ribbon I've had in my stash for ages.  The clock and flowers are from A Home For Christmas and I've used the decoupage version.  To make it fit better round the candle, I gently rolled it over the edge of the table.

Good luck with the challenge - for more details, pop over to Polkadoodles!

Polkadoodle Challenge 48 - It's A Sketch!

There is a new Polkadoodle challenge and this week there is a sketch to play with!  For all the details, pop over to Polkadoodles.  I changed the star element and decoupaged the cute bear from A Sundae of Seasons:

The sentiment ticket is from A Home For Christmas and I've used my fab Memory Box die to create the top and side snowflake border.  Ribbon is from my stash along with the three pearlescent stars.  Stickles around the edges of the card and ticket and the card is complete!

Good luck with the challenge!

Polkadoodle Challenge 46 - Shaped Card

Hope you're keeping up with all the posts today and with a bit of luck blogger will be publishing them correctly too! I've been having trouble with the internet and proxy servers and this means that my blog posts are duplicated a number of times or don't even publish!

Anyway, the current Polkadoodle challenge is to make a

Shaped Card

But with no die cuts! So I've gone for one of the cute images from A Home For Christmas cd, enlarged it so that two would fit on a sheet of A4 card, cut them out and then decoupaged it!

I've added a bit of red glitter to the berries in her hair and stickles on her dress, and that's it! Really quick and simple and the images don't distort even when enlarged! Good luck with the challenge!

Polkadoodle Challenge 44 - Anything Goes Christmas

Time for a new Polkadoodle challenge!  The Design Team were challenged to make a Christmas Gift Box but the challenge on the blog is Anything Goes Christmas!

I've used the fab A Home For Christmas cd and printed off one of the box templates onto white linen effect card from the Papermill Direct.  I then added a band of velvet red ribbon (got ages ago from the Scrap store!) and then added one of the little cute images from the same cd that I'd decoupaged.

It didn't take a lot of time to make the box so great if you need quite a few!  Good luck with the challenge!

Polkadoodle Challenge Week 42 - Christmas Is Coming

Time for a new Polkadoodle challenge!  The theme for the week is:

Christmas Is Coming

And here is my card! It's another one ticked off the list of orders and then I need to think about the ones I'm going to send...... Probably will be rather quick and simple to make as the list is rather long!! Apologies for the naff photo but I've not been seeing much daylight these days.

All the papers are from A Home For Christmas cd and I've made the multi-fold card myself so it stands quite long (if you see what I mean!) I've added ribbons from my stash and also Marianne Die snowflakes (added half pearls too). The die cut on the blue parcel is part of a Memory Box die cut. The sentiment tag is also from the same cd. It does all fold flat (well, almost flat!) so its easy to post.

Good luck with the Polkadoodle challenge!
