 So let's see what the Design Team have been making this week...

Ana - For this week’s Digi Choosday, I created festive Christmas Paper Rosettes using some of my favorite Polkadoodles products. I used the adorable Ice Skating Theo Penguin and Earmuffs Theo Penguin digi stamps, along with the gorgeous Pretty Poinsettia (my fave Polkadoodles Christmas digi!). For a fun sentiment, I fussy-cut FALALALALA from the Icy Winter Papers Set 2 Theo Penguin. These stamps and papers made it so easy to create cheerful, dimensional rosettes full of color and really cute Christmas fun!

Jane Hi everyone. Today I have a fun card to share using this cheeky image from the GINGERBREAD HOLLY COLLECTION called HOT CHOCOLATE.

Kathie - Hi, it’s Kathie here, and I’m enjoying a gorgeous spring day in New Zealand. I love making Christmas cards with fun, non-traditional colours. They are something a bit different. For this one, I used the super cute DLPD9545 Santa image, with his sacks full of gifts. The digital papers I picked were DLPD9914 Set 1 Winter Theo Penguin and DLPD8408 Let’s Hang Out. Santa was coloured with a bunch of Copic markers: E00, BV00, BV02, BV04, C0, C1, C3, C5, C7, Black 100, YR03, YR23, BG10, BG15, BG23, BG49, plus black, white, silver, red, and purple gel pens. I added some sparkling white glitter for the fur on his coat for a bit of sparkle. The sentiment used was from Christmas Geeting’s DPLD9562 Festive Wishes from this house to yours.
When I was little girl, I always wondered why we received Christmas cards showed kids playing in the snow and beautiful Robins in winter scenes, especially since Christmas in New Zealand is usually all about sunshine, BBQs, and heading to the beach. At the age of 4 or 5 I didn’t realise the difference between the Northern and Southern hemispheres.
KM - Happy Digi ChoosDay, crafty friends! Today, I’m sharing a cozy Christmas card that’s a little different from the usual red and green — this one’s all about nontraditional color play! I used complementary orange and blue to create a fun, eye-catching contrast. My scene features the cutest penguins from the Theo Penguin Toasting Marshmallows digital stamp paired with a sentiment from the Theo Penguin Greetings collection. To add that magical winter sparkle, I used glitter texture paste for the snow and background. For a festive vibe, I added a few touches of glitter markers on their beanies and scarves. This challenge made me realize that stepping away from traditional colors opens up fresh creative possibilities.

Ana - Hi everyone, Ana here! This project started as a pair of Christmas tags, but they turned out so cute that I decided they could double as Christmas ornaments too! For the prompt non-traditional Christmas color, of course, I went with my favorite — pink! I used Polkadoodles Bella Bear Delivering Gifts, Bella Bear with Lots of Gifts, and Pretty Poinsettia. The base was painted pink, stenciled with Glitter Snow, and finished with lace, trims, and a touch of sparkle (with diamond adhesive!) for that sweet, pink, festive look. I love how soft and cheerful these tags turned out — perfect for gifting for special loved ones or hanging on the tree!

Wendy - Hello everyone I don't know about you but I always seem to run out of time making my Christmas cards so here's one I've created for this season, that's quick and simple to recreate. I love the non traditional colours at Christmas especially the cooler tones so that was my palette for today. I created an alcohol ink background on vellum and then added electric blue foil while the ink was still tacky - it creates a fantastic look. I added more flake glue splatters and a bit more foil too - you can never have enough. The image and coloured sentiment are both from the Theo Penguin collection, the cute image is Big Hat Day, coloured with promarkers and fussy cut out. The sentiment, from the bundle, I thought would suit a simple Winter card for anyone that doesn't celebrate Christmas. Have a fantastic day, love and crafty hugs Wendy J. xx

Thanks so much to the team for their GORGEOUS inspiration this week!

 So let's see what the Design Team have been making this week...
Nina - This year, I created a very special Christmas card — for a truly magical first Christmas.
I fell in love with the adorable little bear from the digital stamp set - Gift box parcel Bella Christmas bear. He’s peeking out of the gift box with the lid playfully resting on his head — just too cute to resist!
I colored everything in soft shades of pink and warm grey-brown, paired with a rosy polka-dot paper — gentle, sweet, and perfectly festive. The Happy Christmas sentiment adds a lovely touch of sparkle and the delicate white bow border ties it all together — matching the little ribbon on the present.

Ana - Hi everyone! For this week’s Digi Choosday project, I made a decorative box frame inspired by children’s alphabet blocks. It features the adorable Bauble Hat Bella Christmas Bear and is designed to hold baby’s Christmas photos on each side. It can be displayed as a keepsake, used as a tree ornament, or even gifted—since the top opens like a small gift box! I used Polkadoodles’ Bauble Hat Bella Christmas Bear digi stamp and Christmas Paper Patterns 2 to decorate all sides. I colored Bella with alcohol markers and added sparkle with glitter pens and Aleene’s Glitter Snow plus a sprinkle of glitters! Want to make one too? Visit my blog for full step-by-step instructions!

KIM STEWART - Hard to believe were in already into November. Do you have your christmas cards started? Are you a wait to the last minute christmas card creator? For our design team project this week, it's all about baby's 1st Christmas. I chose Bella Bear-y Christmas as there are so many cute images to choose from. I picked Bella Bear No Peeking which i coloured with my Copic markers and added glitter glue to the star and the bows as well as Bella's hat trim and pom pom to make my card all sparkly.My paper choices came from Jolly Santa pack 1 as well as Theo paper pack 1. I added some glittered snowflakes behind my image for extra sparkle. And finished off my card with a few christmas- mulberry flowers for that final special touch.

Thanks so much to the team for their GORGEOUS inspiration this week!

 So let's see what the Design Team have been making this week...

Kathie - Hi everyone, I worked with this beautiful image Alcea Hollyhock Flowers. As soon as I saw it, I knew who this card was going to be for as she has a birthday in November. The image was coloured with Copic Colours: C0, C01, YG03, YG63, G000, RV000, RV13, RV34. Y35. I used the lovely Floral Wreath Papers 07,08 and the Happy Birthday sentiment was also from the Alcea Hollyhock Kit as there are sentiments and papers included to make your card as well as pre coloured images.

Wendy - Hello and happy Digi Choosday everyone - today its all about those November birthdays! it's still officially Autumn until 21st December and I'm clinging on to those autumn colours for as long as I can so I have used and image from one of my favourite collections Freddy Fox. This is Birthday Balloons, coloured with promarkers and its for my BFF back in the UK as her birthday is November. I added pre-coloured butterflies from the ephemera bundle to one of the pretty papers and then layered these onto my DL card to create a little scene for Freddy. I love adding the ephemera to papers like this to make a pretty but very simple card. A simple sentiment strip and some iridescent sequins for a touch of magic. Have a wonderful week, love and crafty hugs Wendy J. xx


ANA - Hi everyone! For this week’s Digi Choosday, I created an arch tri-fold birthday card featuring the adorable Party Bear with Cupcake digi stamp. I paired him with patterned papers from Noodle Panda Collection and themed sentiments from the Noodle Panda Themed Sentiments to build layers, pockets, and a fun pop-up element inside. The pockets can hold decorated inserts, or you can switch them out for gift cards or cash for an extra special surprise! I colored Party Bear with alcohol markers and added finishing touches with vellum bunting, balloons, and Polkadoodles sentiments to complete the design. Come and join the fun at Digi Choosday, we’d love to see your creations! Don’t forget to follow me for more crafty inspiration: Instagram: @my.cat.and.crafts Facebook: My Cat and Crafts
Jane using an image, paper and ephemera from the FREDDY FOX BIG KAHUNA KIT You can get the image called PARTY GIFTseparately if you wish.




KM - Hi crafty friends! Today’s project is a colorful birthday memory dex card featuring Rebel Birthday Cake digital stamp and a cheerful sentiment from the Winnie Daisy Fairy Everyday Greetings collection. For the background, I used glossy acrylic sprays from Dina Wakly and added stitched-like borders using Ohuhu acrylic pen. I then colored Rebel using Ohuhu Pupe markers and Ohuhu glitter pen for her crown. With bright fun colors and that sassy Rebel vibe, this mini card reminds me that every birthday deserves to be remembered with sparkles and creativity!

 So let's see what the Design Team have been making this week...

Ana - Hi, crafty friends! Ana here from My Cat and Crafts with this week’s Digi Choosday project. The theme is to create a set of notelets to gift or sell—and I decided to finally make one just for me! (Okay… I made another set that’s not for me too, of course). I created this personalized notelet set to use for swap mail I’m sending to the Philippines. That’s why I chose Message Letter Fairy Winnie Daisy—the little envelope she’s holding is just perfect for all the happy mail I’ll be sending to my swapmates. I’ll be using these to write sweet notes and tuck them into my outgoing swaps.For this project, I used the pre-colored Message Letter Fairy Winnie Daisy digi stamp along with printable paper from the Rebel Pretty collection. I laid out the design using Cricut Design Space, then finished it off with florals, gauze, and a matching envelope box created with the We R Memory Keepers Punch Board. Want the full tutorial? Head over here for all the step-by-step details.

Kim S - Let the christmas card creating begin 🙂 I'm thrilled to share my latest Design Team project for this week! I've been playing with the adorable Bella Bear Christmas big Kahuna set and I created a full coordinating set with matching decorated bag and 5 unique cards. I coloured Bella as a polar bear as I really love the look for christmas. I love how versatile this Bella Bear set is! Each card has a slightly different look and sentiment, but they all share that cheerful holiday charm. From the cute little lanterns to the Santa hats and Christmas trees, this set is perfect for all your holiday crafting. My paper selections come from Gingerbread Holly pack 2, Jolly Santa 1 & 2 papers and Theo Penguin 1,3 & 4. I added a tag that i created using ephemera from Gingerbread Cookie Flowers and Foliage set

Kaye - As the Holidays are drawing closer, it is much more meaningful to MAKE a gift to your friends and family, as every piece you make is a piece of you. In this week's challenge, I have made interactive shaker cards inside a "gift" using Honeypie Just Lovely Digital Stamp and colored her into Christmas colors. These notecards, can be sold as a set or to give them. Enjoy! Instagram: @kayeskraftivitee_

Nina - I made this cute Note set using the Family Love Elephant & Hello Elephant from the Tons of Love collection


Ana - For this week’s Digi Choosday challenge, I created a set of handmade 3x3 Christmas notelets, complete with a coordinating flip-top box - especially perfect for gifting or selling this holiday season! I used Polkadoodles Christmas Paper Patterns 2 for the background and Happy Happy Christmas from the Christmas Greetings Sentiment Printable Stamp for the sentiments. I added glitter cardstock layers, buttons, enamel dots, and finished everything with a sparkly velvet ribbon for the box. Everything was cut and assembled by hand (plus a little Cricut for the sentiments!). If you’d like to see the full step-by-step instructions and measurements, head over here!
