Hello and happy Thursday everyone... I hope that you are having a great week.
I'm so happy that the weather has finally cooled off, still lots of lovely sunshine, a little bit of rain and definitely cooler mornings and I've even had to put a jumper on today LOL.
We've still not made the move to a duvet on the bed yet though and had the window open too all night but I'm sure to won't be long.
We had lunch on Tuesday with our friends from Glasgow and then on Wednesday with friends from the village which was lovely to catch up as always but with all the increasing cases of Covid and flu around we tried to keep isolated (no hugs and Kisses) as were trying hard to keep well and Covid / Flu free before our trip to Japan.
I'm not quite ready for Halloween yet so decided to create another Autumn card using the new release from Polkadoodles called Winnie Autumn Wishes. I have to say its gorgeous !.
The collection is perfect for card making, colouring/colouring, junk journals, printable stationery, scrapbooking and digital scrapbooking. Colour the black and white digi stamps with Copics, Spectrum Noir or Ohuhu/alcohol markers, Prismacolor pencils and watercolour/watercolour pencils, or choose the ready-to-use coloured clipart and pre-coloured images.
The high-resolution 300 dpi PNG files are easy to print, resize and use in your favourite projects, with transparent backgrounds where applicable. Look out for SVG and cutting files for Cricut, Brother Scan N Cut and Silhouette Cameo too. Create beautiful handmade cards, colouring pages, junk journals, planners, printed stationery, and digi scrapbooking projects with original, unique Polkadoodles artwork designed to mix and match throughout the collection.
There's loads of inspiration for you to see in the Inspiration Gallery on the Polkadoodles Website.
I've been really enjoying using the pre-coloured images for a change so I have carried on with this collection. My next project today is a stunning little z-Fold card using the pre-coloured image Posting Happy Mail Who doesn't love getting some Happy Post just because and the sentiment I have used was perfect for those just because times too.

My next project today is a stunning little z-Fold card using the pre-coloured image Posting Happy Mail Who doesn't love getting some Happy Post just because and the sentiment I have used was perfect for those just because times too.
I started off with an A7 or 5" x 7" Kraft card blank adding a simple fold in the centre of the front panel, matting and layering teal card and papers from the collection onto the panels of the card.
Next I resized the pre-coloured image of Winnie Crafting to suite the card size adding the sentiment into the top corner of the panel before printing out. I have die cut a panel of the teal card with a stitched edged die measuring 4" x 5 1/4" and then the image panel is slightly less than that, using the next die down in the set. Before adhering the image to the teal card I carefully blended a little blue and pale grey distress ink over the background.
I created a similar panel for the inside of the card, using one of the Polkadoodles stencils to add a little leafy detail around the edge and matting this with teal and rust card.
I decided to embellish the card little more adding die cut leaves from the teal and rust card and fussy cutting some of the little embellishments from the ephemera set, layering these on to the card with glue and foam to create different dimension.
The little tag was attached to the front of the card using a sparkly orange brad.
To finish off my card today I've added a little orange sparkle to the leaf of the little envelope in the sentiment and coloured in the hearts with a fine liner pen.
I hope that you like my project today and you'll enjoy the next that I share from Polkadoodles.
Hasta luego 👋
Enjoy the rest of your day !
