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

Today we are excited to welcome new Teamie Eve to the team! We know you'll love seeing her amazing projects every week and we're thrilled to have Eve with us here at Polkadoodles! Welcome, Eve!

Eve - Hello everyone! I'm excited to be on the team! I used Polkadoodles Winnie-sugar-sprinkles-springtime-design-sheet and fussy cut some of the elements. The polka dot backing paper is from Polkadoodles -udderly-cute-love-digital-papers which I layered onto some pink card. Then I used my sewing machine to stitch around the edges. Finely I added some yellow glitter glue and gems. I hope you'll follow my blog - I'd love to follow you back!

Zel - This card is a fantastic blend of whimsical and a relatable Mother's day card perfect for working Moms. First I printed this precoloured digi stamp Wanda on a 300 gsm matte photo paper and then Scanned and cut it through the Brother Scan n Cut machine.
Next , I printed papers from the SET 1 Wanda printable digital paper patterns to a piece of a white cardstock then ran it through a die cutting machine with a scallop die. I did the same for a pink cardstock, I die cut it with a scallop die and glued the patterned paper and pink cardstock together to make a layer. I adhered the patterned paper to a slant position. Before I glued a Working Wanda digistamp, I first colored her clothes with a pinkish palette as well as colored the chair with grayish Prisma colored pencil. Once I am done coloring her, I used tombow Glue to adhere her on top of the patterned paper. I then adhered the layer on a gray cardbase. Next thing I did was to print this Winnie Sugar Sprinkles Sentiment on a white cardstock and cut it into square shape and adhere it to my card with a foam tape. And for the last step, I added pinkish brown enamel dots to create a visual balance.My facebook is also: https://www.facebook.com/springklewithcards

Kathie - Hello and welcome to Digi Choosday! It’s time for a new challenge for me once again. Mother’s Day will be upon us before we know it or it could be Mum’s birthday. The colour palette we were given to work with was completely outside my comfort area but it’s taught me to think outside the square. So if you have that special lady in your life here’s the chance to make a wonderful card for her. I chose this image knowing it could be used for multiple genres from Polkadoodles image Flower Celebration Cake - this image comes black & white for you to colour as well as a coloured image. The design papers used were Love & Kisses Paper. Our brief was the colour palette, all I could think of was oh no! The image was coloured with the following Copic Chio markers: C1, C2, E02, E04, E11, E25, E35,RV13, RV21, RV42, YG91. I must admit once my card was finished with added embellishment set on Kraft Card, I was really happy with my final results and I look forward to commenting on whatever you make. Happy crafting everyone. You can find my complete instructions on my blog kathiezkardz.blogspot.com/

Wendy - Hello everyone I hope that you are having a wonderful crafty month. We're back today with more inspiration for the current Digi Choosday blog challenge and this week its all about those Mother's Day cards. I don't make many of these cards so I've made a thinking of you card using the fabulous Udderly Cute Collection. Nikky asked us to stick to a pink colour palette so I thought the ephemera from the collection would be perfect! I chose one of the floral papers from the paper pack 1 for the background of my card and added white and grey arched panels and a circular panel with a sentiment stamped from the Funky Rosy Posy stamp set.The ephemera was cut with my ScanNCut machine and then layered up for a a dreamy look of an Afternoon Tea - My Mum would have loved this card . I finished of the design with lots of sparkle on the Macaron and hearts and sparkly pink sequins. Have a wonderful week. Love and crafty hugs from Wendy x

Jane - Hi everyone! For my Mother’s Day card I have chosen to use the TONS OF LOVE collection that is full of super adorable elephants. This particular image is called LOVE FLOWERS and I coloured her with Copics and then cut her out with a heart-shaped die. To mimic the heart on a string that she is holding I used off cuts from a flourish die and added a tiny bow too. Some doodling around the edge (xoxo = hugs & kisses) and a pink heart gem finished off the design.

Ana - This week’s Digi Choosday DT prompt is Mother’s Day or Mom’s Birthday, paired with a soft and pretty pink color palette, and I created a quick but heartfelt project… a Mother’s Day Coupon Book.
This little booklet is filled with sweet, thoughtful coupons that moms can redeem anytime. It’s the kind of gift that focuses on love, effort, and time, making it extra meaningful and perfect for Mother’s Day or even mom’s birthday.
I designed the cover and pages using Canva, then brought everything together with pretty Polkadoodles digi elements. For the background of the booklet cover and coupons, I used Winnie Celebrations 2 – Papers 2. The cover features the adorable Bella Bear Morning Coffee Digi Stamp.
The coupon book includes 10 coupons, but you can easily add more to personalize it even further. It’s a fun, easy project that can be customized for any mom and recreated in no time. Check out more coupon ideas here! I hope this project inspires you to create something special for the amazing moms in your life.

Judy - My inspiration card for this this week was created with Heartfelt Wishes - Udderly Cute. This cute digi was printed, colored with Prismacolor Pencils and cut down to fit a slimline card base. One of the papers from Udderly Cute Printable Paper Pack 4 was used on the bottom of the card. I used 2 papers from Udderly Cute Printable Paper Pack 3. One was placed on the top of the card. I fussy cut flowers from the other to use as embellishments. The sentiment is from Udderly Cute Printable Greetings. It was printed and cut with an oval die. I matted and placed over a banner strip.


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

Nina - 

Kim S - For my design team project this week, I wanted to create a card that mooved! Haha I couldn’t help myself. I know 😝 Sending you Moo-ch LOVE today. ❤️ There is nothing quite like a surprise to make someone’s day, and this slider card is full of them. The front features a sweet pair of cows sending MOO-CH LOVE  your way. I chose one of the pre-coloured images this time from the new Udderly Cute digital download set called Just for Moo . But once you open it, a fun slider element pops up with a heart balloon and a LOVE MOO SO MOO-CH sentiment! I paired the interactive part with a classic red and white polka dot background for that extra festive pop. My paper selections come from Theo Penguin coordinating set and from Wings of Love pack 3. Hope I’ve inspired you to try a slider card this week ♥️ 


Kaye - This week's challenge is to make a slider card for that special Man in your life and I couldn't resist making it cute by using the bunnies from Love All Love Always Bunny Rabbits. I sliced and fuzzy cut the image in such a way that one bunny could move and slide on the tennis lawn. I used distress oxides for the background, colored our bunnies using Ohuhu Alcohol Markers and Voila! it's one cute card I'm sure even the man in your life couldn't resist interacting with. Enjoy! Instagram: @kayeskraftivitee_

Ana - For this Digi Choosday Design Team project, our prompt was to create a slider card. I’ve seen so many fancy slider cards over the years, but this time I really wanted to try something simple, no complicated mechanisms, just a fun and satisfying reveal. I used the cute Polkadoodles “Nuts About You – Too Cute” digi stamp, which features a cute little squirrel holding an acorn. The card starts off looking very plain, with the squirrel printed in black and white on acetate. But once you slide up the white cardstock insert, the image suddenly turns fully colored - from blah to colorful in one easy move! To create the effect, I layered printed acetate, frame layers using plain cardstock and a pattern paper from Polkadoodles Love & Kisses Papers 2, plain white cardstock, and another piece of white cardstock with the same-sized squirrel image, colored with alcohol markers. The sentiment “Nuts About You” (also from Nuts About You – Too Cute digi stamp!) was the cutest finishing touch, because of course, the squirrel is holding an acorn! This is such an easy slider idea to try if you’re curious about interactive cards but don’t want anything too technical. My Instagram: @my.cat.and.crafts | Facebook: My Cat and Crafts

Mary - I thought about what could make a fun, masculine Valentine slider card. Of course, I had my coffee next to me (and chocolate) and started to cut the base for the card with my patterned paper. I took a 5 ½” x 8 ½” piece of card stock, found here, and scored at ½” and 4 ½“. I used another complimentary masculine red pattern paper for the sliding part. The item was trimmed to measure 3¾ inches by 5½ inches. Next, I fussy cut my Bride & Groom and sentiments that I placed on coordinating paper for a whimsical touch. Next, I cut my 3 ¾“ slit in a position about the middle of the husband banner, which would raise our bride, along with the sentiments. This also makes for a wonderful reveal for the recipient. I took my 3” x ½ “strip of scrap cardstock and put it through the slit, with my stopper in place, and glued it to my sentiment paper at the right height for everything to work well. I then used double-sided tape to seal the card front and keep the sentiment paper inside. I added sparkle hearts and champagne glasses for extra bling. I attached the pull ribbon at the top, using materials I already had in my stash. 

Kim D - Hello, Kim here with my Valentine's card. I am using the latest release this particular image is Gifts for Moo. These cows are just the cutest! I had a lot of fun with them. And how about this paper!!!!
I used this one but good luck deciding, I think you need them all Ha!

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

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

Kim S - I am so excited to share my latest Design Team project for this week’s Digi Choosday challenge. If you love combining snowy scenes with romantic textures, this card is for you! For this project, I stepped away from the traditional rectangular card base and went with a stunning circular card. At the heart of the card is a sweet winter scene featuring Mabel bundled up in her finest red coat and scarf, sharing a moment with her snowman friend. I layered a red circular mat on the back of my card plus a circle mat I cut from glitter paper that I topped with a red/white striped decorative paper from Santa Claus paper pack 2 .I used a large, shimmering red glitter paper heart that I matted on white as a backdrop to add height and a pop of sparkly colour. I coloured Mabel and her snowman friend using my Copic markers in a red/white palette with a little pop of blue. My Copic markers were R27,R29,R37 and a smidgen of R39. I used the cool greys for the white parts. 

Wendy - Hello everyone and Happy Digi Choosday ! February is already here and its definitely time to think about sending Love and Valentines Day. Do you send Valentines cards ? The theme set for the DT this week is Valentines using Red, Pink, Black and White so I thought the brand new Udderly Cute Collection would be prefect for this. It's a simple Pop Out Gatefold as I wanted to really show off the cute pattern papers and fabulous ephemera from the collection. The Just For Moo digital stamp was coloured with promarkers and popped onto the centre panel of the pop out so the recipient gets a surprise when they open the card. If you want the card measurements these are over on my blog. Have a great week ! love and crafty hugs Wendy x


Kathie - Good morning & welcome to Digi Choosday. It’s time for a new challenge once again. That’s right, Valentines day is just around the corner and it’s time to start making those wonderful cards for the special people/person in your life. This card is going to my great niece for Valentines. That’s why I chose this wonderful Polkadoodles image Flying Balloon Elephant DLPD9607 and the design papers used were Love Bird Valentines Wings of Love DLPD9096 Set 3. Our brief was for Valentines and we had to use Red, Pink and Black. Use an animal that moves. This wee Elephant is definitely moving through the sky. The image was coloured with the following Copic Chio markers: C1, C2, B000, RV02, RV06, RV10, R27,R29, R85. How am I going to make this Elephant move. I remembered, that I had purchased plastic spring things for the backs of cards to make your image move or wobble. I didn’t think it would work to start off with but YES it did, next time I would double the thickness of the image cut two circles as I feel that my card is a little flimsy. Happy crafting everyone. You can find my complete instructions on my blog.


Zel - Hi everyone! For this Challenge, I chose Helga Hippo for my digi which I print to 4x6 watercolor paper. Here's how I incorporated Pink, black and red - use an animal challenge them for my project:
For my Pink - I use pink water color to color Helga's Ribbon , Flower and Dress
For My Black - I used black soot distress oxide and ink up Tim Holtz Cling Stamps - Spills and Splatters and stamp it to the water color paper. I made sure to do some masking technique to cover Helga when I stamped.For my Red - I did the same technique when I used my black ink but this time, I stamped the image to distress oxide Festive Berries. I also used red Albertch Durer water color pencil for her eye shadow. For something that moves, I printed out the words My Love sentiment from Love Always printable Sentiments and stick on an action wobble spring to make my sentiment move.

Judy: My inspiration project for this week is a Valentine's card created with the Hearts & Flowers - Utterly Cute Digital Stamp. I printed this cutie with Prismacolor pencils and fussy cut. He was added to a background of 2 patterned papers from Utterly Cute Paper Pack 5 and Utterly Cute Paper Pack 3. I added Utterly Cute Printable Ephemera. The sentiment from the Utterly Cute Printable Greetings It was printed onto one of the ephemera pieces.

ANA - For this week’s Digi Choosday project, I created a cute peekaboo interactive card, something I haven’t done in years, featuring a cute Polkadoodles character, Scruff Dog with Heart Cookies. I love how interactive cards always add an extra element of surprise, and this cute and sweet pup was perfect for a design that reveals as you pull the card.I used patterned papers from the Polkadoodles 2 Love and Kisses Papers Collection to keep the card bright and on theme, while sticking to a white and pink palette for this week’s DT prompt. For the sentiment, I chose “Love you always” from the Wings of Love Greetings set. To tie everything together, I paired it with a heart cookie design, which complements Scruff Dog (with heart cookies) perfectly and adds cuteness and sweetness to the card.Hope you like this card and that you will join us weekly here at Digi Choosday! Don’t forget to follow my socials for other fun and cute crafts - IG: @my.cat.and.crafts | FB: My Cat and Crafts


Jane Hi everyone! For a sweet Valentine’s card look no further than the brand new UDDERLY CUTE COLLECTION. In fact, these gorgeous cow images are just perfect for nearly every occasion. For my circular card I began in Word then inserted one of the designer papers and placed the image TOGETHER on top. Adding a shadow behind the image lifts it off the page to give the illusion of dimension without the need for fussy cutting. Once I had printed off my design, I coloured with Copics, cut it out with a circular die and added a couple of hearts from the EPHEMERA BUNDLE and a sentiment from the PRINTABLE GREETINGS.


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