Polkadoodles - Quick Cards and a HUGE Sale!

Good morning everyone! I wanted to put up a quick post with some BIG SALE news over at the Polkadoodles shop! Nikky has given a sale code good for 50% OFF all the Work & Play big bundles. You get SO MUCH in each of these kits - this is a truly awesome way to grow your Polkadoodles digital collection! The code is THANKSEVERYONE and you can find all of the bundle options for Work & Play kits right here. 

Not all cards have to be complicated and time consuming! I whipped up these cards using pre-colored elements and papers from Work & Play 1, Work & Play 3, and Work & Play 12 in a matter of MINUTES! I kid you not. Sentiments are from W&P3, Helga Hippo and Winnie Sugar Sprinkles. I made 4 of each of these designs, and sent them in to work with my hubby, who is in healthcare construction and currently managing projects at a hospital in our area. He's been instructed to give them to some of the doctors and nurses he interacts with to help brighten their day!

Don't forget your discount code - THANKSEVERYONE. I so appreciate all the first responders, doctors, nurses, grocery store clerks, pharmacists, and other essential personnel working hard to keep us safe and healthy during this crisis. Virtual hugs!

Time For Tea Designs - Pandimonium Birthday

Good morning friends! Today I'm sharing my weekly inspiration project for Time For Tea Designs. Don't forget that you can (and should) play along in our monthly challenge, for your chance to win free digis! Everyone loves free digis, am I right? The theme for our challenge is Anything Goes. My favorite! It's so easy to enter - just make something using your Time For Tea Designs images and post them! Share with the hashtag #timeforteadesigns so we can find them, and you're entered to win! Challenges run monthly, and we will have a spotlight and a prize winner at the end of each challenge. Oh, and I have a discount code for you to use - T4TJENNIFER10 will save you 10% on your order from the Time For Tea shop! Yayyyy :)

From our March release - Pandimonium Party clear stamps and coordinating dies. I used Distress Oxide Inks and Blender Brushes to lay down a light base (Twisted Citron and Spiced Marmalade) on my A6 white card base, then I went over with the darker colors (Peeled Paint and Ripe Persimmon) using the Check Me Out 6x6 stencil. I ran it thorough my Gemini using the Dotty Hearts cover plate die for a little extra interest. I oversprayed the background with water and also gold mica spray from FSJ.

My main image background squares are cut using the Quilted Square Nesting Die set. Sky, bamboo and panda are colored/shaded using Copic Markers - I buy all of mine at Scrapbookpal.com for their low prices and fast shipping.  

I'm IN LOVE with every product from this latest release - so cute!! 

I hope you enjoyed my project today. If you've got a moment, head over to join our FB community, follow us on Instagram, and don't forget to play along with our monthly challenges by tagging #timeforteadesigns - so easy! Thanks for stopping by!
