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

Kim S - Happy Digi Choosday. For our project this week I chose one of the super cute lady Gnomes from the new digital set Bee Buzzy called Daisy Delight which i layered on top of the cutest teacup mushroom also from the new set which i coloured with my Copic markers and added some subtle touches of Wink of Stella glitter pen to the teacup and mushroom. I dream that she's enjoying her sweet day among the flowers.I chose one of the sentiments out of the set that just pairs perfectly with the images. The vibrant yellows and purples give it such a happy, celebratory feel I think.

Ana- I made this 3D Envelope Box Card using only basic crafting tools—no dies or machines needed! I used the cute Rebel Pretty Printable Craft Paper from Polkadoodles and the adorable Love Bird Letter – Wings of Love digi stamp, which I colored with my markers. I added the sentiment “Happy You Day” from the Winnie Daisy Fairy Everyday Greetings and Quotes by cutting it in vinyl sticker using my Cricut Maker.This card may look detailed, but it’s super easy and fun to make - and once you’ve got the base down, you can decorate it with any embellishments, themes, or designs you like! Check out my blog for the full step-by-step tutorial with measurements and photos. If you make one, please tag me - @my.cat.and.crafts and of course, @polkadoodles! We would love to to see your creations!


Kaye - for this challenge, we made a pop up birthday card featuring the Love Bird Heart- Wings of Love as the main star of this card. Then I hand drew a cake with a Bee Buzzy Flower Digital stamp as a candle on top of the yummy cake. I hope the receiver of this Birthday Card will be delighted with the not so usual cake.

Nina - Hello crafters! Today I made a sweet card using this Love Bird Rose Flower from the Wings of Love collection - it's so pretty, I will use this collection many times!

Martine - I used this very cute Chick digital stamp for my make this week and added a few embellishments from my stash and a background paper from a digi collection (sorry i cannot remmber which collection!)

Ana - Who says Valentine digis are just for February? I turned Polkadoodles’ Love Bird Owl Heart Valentine into a sweet and floral birthday shaker card! 💌🎉I used dies for the floral frame, added shaker bits, and finished it off with a vinyl sentiment from the Winnie Daisy Fairy Everyday Greetings and Quotes collection. Check out the full tutorial on my blog for a step-by-step guide!If you make one, please tag me — @my.cat.and.crafts — and of course, @polkadoodles!

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



Wendy - Hello and happy Digi Choosday everyone. I hope the week is going well for you.
Today I've got a little decorating card to inspire you to join in with the challenge. I've used the super new Painting and Decorating bundle to create my fun card today, using one of the sentiments, a paper, pre-coloured ephemera and the sweet little decorator boy coloured with promarkers. He looks like he's having fun getting that wallpaper to stay on the wall....we've all been there I'm sure.... LOL. Anyway have a fantastic week. Love and crafty hugs from Wendy J x


Jane - Happy Wednesday everyone! I'm using this super cute Handy DIY guy from Work and Play 1 digi collection. Work & Play is an oldie but it's a real goodie and needed in your stash, each collection is full of jobs and hobbies for all occasions! check it out - see you next time!



KM -  This week I've made this cute card which looks like a cleaning sign - using the NEW Painting & Decorating bundle which is really cute - just what I needed for this card which is for a DIY crazy lady!


Kerri - Hey crafters, happy Digi Choosday! Today I'm sharing another card I coloured using the Graduation/You Did It bundle of printables - this kit is epic and packed with so much stuff, if you are into print and cut or planners and scrapbooking you'll love this bundle. It also includes this character as a digi stamp or in a precoloured version too if you don't like coloring...hope you like it!






Ana - Hi everyone! This week for Digi Choosday, I created a bright and cheerful card featuring Polkadoodles’ Female Painter digi stamp, colored with alcohol markers. I paired it with a rainbow watercolor background, epoxy stickers, and sentiments that say “you paint my world happy” and “thank you”—a little tribute to the people who bring color and joy into our lives. I had so much fun making this, especially getting to play with watercolor and use my label maker - something I rarely bring out and use but always love. Don’t forget to join the Digi Choosday challenge and check out the other amazing DT creations. You can find more of my crafty projects on Instagram, @my.cat.and.crafts and Facebook, My Cat and Crafts.

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


Martine - Did you know that witches are have to go to school as well? So i made this notebook.
I used Ravella Witch and used some Halloween papers as well : Halloween Trick or Treat paper bundle 1 . Then I put on a broomstick { it's from Tim Holtz} , a big black paperclip and some black mosquito netting...which is very handy for this kind of occasion.

Ana - This notebook is one of my favorites so far! I used a detailed Science Girl Polkadoodles digi stamp, printed large for extra impact, and colored it with Ohuhu markers. The cover from the Happy Cactus Succulent collection, paired with solid cardstock for the spine. For the pages, I cut standard 80gsm A4 paper in half using my trusty Cutterpillar Pro. Everything is bound using my thermal cinch, which gives it a neat, book-like finish—perfect for stacking. I finished the cover with the colored digi and a cute Polkadoodles Work and Play Design Sheet for a little extra cutesy fun.It’s simple, colorful, and functional—wish I had these skills of notebook making and cutesyfy-ing back when I was still in school! Instagram: @my.cat.and.crafts Facebook: My Cat and Crafts

Kaye - Going back to school? Then why not vamp out your notebooks to make them cute and interesting? This week, I made a notebook from scratch and decked it out looking like a locker making use of printable background from Noodle Panda Plains and Reach for the Stars Rebel decorating her own locker, I also sketched out her school essentials on the floor, with this kind of decorated notebook, who would lose it? Instagram: @kayeskraftivitee_

Kim S - Hi everyone! We were asked to decorate a bookcover this week with a school theme to get ready for September. I chose this cute new digi in the store which is from the new You Did It bundle - hope you like it!

Nina - I had the joy of creating a personalized school notebook for my friend’s daughter – full of little details and designed with love in a playful vintage look. I used different sizes of note-style die cuts, layered slightly offset for a fun and dynamic effect. For the background, I combined the brown polka dot digi paper from the "Bee Buzzy Polka Dots" set with the pink-and-white striped paper from "Bee Buzzy Stripes & Gingham" – such a sweet combo. The highlight is the cool girl from the "Knowledge is Everything – January" digistamp set – wearing sunglasses, with a flower in her hair and a book in her hands. I also added a die-cut paintbrush and paint splatter for that creative vibe. And of course, the perfect quote from the "Messages and Quotes – Wanda" set: "Born to sparkle, forced to work." I’m sure the little schoolgirl will be so excited to start her school year with this one-of-a-kind notebook.

Ana - Back-to-school vibes - nerdy but still cute and cool! I made these coordinating mini notebooks using Polkadoodles’ Studying Wanda digi stamp, Happy Cactus Succulent printable papers, and fussy cut elements from the Work & Play 12 – Scientist/Geek Girl sheet. I colored Wanda with markers and bound the pages with my Mini Cinch — easy, fun, and perfect for notebook lovers or little gifts! 💖 Instagram: @my.cat.and.crafts Facebook: My Cat and Crafts

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


Wendy - I made this card using this lovely stamp set called Hearts & Flowers. I used printable backing paper from the Flower Meadow download bundle inside and out and then stenciled over it with the Wildflower Meadow stencil which is just gorgeous. I then just stamped and coloured these lush butterflies and popped them on the pop up!

Jane – When I’m in a hurry and need a card quickly pre-coloured digis are my go-to. This lovely image is one of the super value DIGI DEALS called BUTTERFLY FLOWERPOTS. I used the image twice, arranging them top to toe in Word, then reversing and making the bottom image more transparent to create a reflection.

Ana - Here’s a sweet little card I made using one of my favorite Polkadoodles characters — Winnie! I colored her with alcohol markers and added touches of glitter using glitter pens for some extra sparkle. Then I layered everything on soft pink cardstock with floral paper from the Winnie’s Let’s Hangout Paper Bundle. I also created a soft vellum window, added some die-cut butterflies (in both cardstock and vellum!), flowers, and pearl stick-ons for that dainty, dreamy feel. If you love pretty layers and sweet digi stamps, you can read more about this card on my blog! Follow my crafty adventures over on Instagram and Facebook — I’d love to see you there!

KM - Today, I'm sharing a cheerful card I made using the Butterfly Flowerpots digital image— perfect for brightening someone's day! I colored the image with a mix of water-based and acrylic markers, then added texture to the background using a stencil and some textured paste to complete the garden scene. To finish it off, I included a sweet sentiment from the Winnie Daisy Fairy Everyday Greeting and Quotes collection. Isn't it just wonderful to be loved by friends?

Ana - Hi everyone! I’m Ana from My Cat and Crafts and I’m so excited to be sharing one of the poppiest-uppiest pop-up cards I’ve ever made! You can find more of my crafty makes on Instagram @my.cat.and.crafts, on Facebook at My Cat and Crafts, and over on my blog.This project might look complicated, but once all the scoring and cutting is done — it actually comes together pretty easily! The result is a super duper dimensional card that’s full of fluttering butterflies and sweet good vibes!For this pop-up card, I used the Winnie Sunshine Delights Embellishment Bundle of Digi Scraps. I love that this bundle includes both pre-colored and black & white elements — perfect if you enjoy coloring your own pieces. Since this card needs lots of butterflies, I went with the colored ones to save time and still get that vibrant layered look.For the card cover, I used pattern papers from Winnie’s Let’s Hangout, the Grateful sentiment (which is currently FREE on the Polkadoodles site!), more elements from the Winnie Sunshine Delights Embellishment Bundle, and finished it all off with some enamel dots.If you want to try making this fun pop-up style yourself, I’ve shared a step-by-step tutorial here — give it a go! Happy crafting and see you soon!

Kerri - This is a card I made using the set Hello Pretty. I stamped the images onto card stock colored them with Prisma Pencils. The background was done with a stencil and glitter paste. The die cut Hello was used I cut it twice to make it thicker..


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