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

Ana - Hi crafty friends! Today I’m sharing a sweet and springy Easter Egg Mini Album featuring Polkadoodles digital goodies.For this project, I created an egg-shaped mini album base using my cutting machine and layered it with patterned papers from the Winnie Celebrations 3 Set. I cut multiple egg pages, adhered smaller patterned egg layers on top, and left the backs blank for journaling and photos that is just so perfect for Easter memories! For the focal point of the album cover, I used the beautiful (and versatile!) Love Bird Letter Valentine - Wings of Love digi stamp and colored it with alcohol markers for a spring look. I paired it with sentiments from the Spring into Easter Messages collection, using a print-then-cut feature to create tags and other embellishments. I finished the album off with trims and ribbons on the binding rings for extra flair.This mini album is such a fun way to document Easter celebrations, spring photos, or even gift to someone special And if you’d like to see more of my projects, you can follow me: Instagram: @my.cat.and.crafts, Facebook: My Cat and Crafts

 

 

 


Kim D - Hello Kim here today sharing this adorable party time bear. He is ready to celebrate Mom's special day! With his little gift and had how do you not love him. I colored him up with copics and added some balloons to make him even more festive. My background paper is from the digital Birthday Celebration paper. Isn't every mom a star?

JANE - Jane Hi everyone! The DT had a gorgeous colour palette to work with this week, and it is definitely one I will be using again. My floral card features this super cute gnome from the GNOME FOR EASTER COLLECTION called HAPPY EASTER BANNER. I teamed him with pretty papers from the WINNIE DAISY 2 BIG KAHUNA BUNDLE, printing him directly onto the paper so I could cut him out using a die and then colour him with pencils. I added lots of flowers including the sweet tulips from the CUP OF KINDNESS die set.

Wendy - Hello everyone and happy Digi Choosday - today our thoughts are turning to Spring! I'm definitely ready for it after the cold Winter. One of my crafty goals this year is to learn how to use my ScanNCut machine and there are some perfect kits available in the shop so I decided to create a 3D pop up card for today using the Spring is Here Print & Cut file.  It took me a few attempts as I wanted to recolour the image to match the colour palette Nikky asked us to use but I'm really pleased how its turned. So why not take the plunge and have a play with one of the fabulous downloads - you'll be hooked in no time! Once all the elements has been cut out and the card shape too I assembled the pieces together adding a little distress ink shading here and there. The papers I used for the card base are from the new Udderly Cute collection and the Flower Meadow bundle.  Love and crafty hugs Wendy x

Kathie - Good morning crafty friends from far and wide. Welcome to another Digi Choosday. This fortnight our team were challenged by Nikki for a Spring or Easter creation. I was like a child in a sweet shop when I saw our colour palette to use, they were my colours, I like to use. Mauve, Apple Green, Purple, Teal and Yellow. When I saw this wonderful Polkadoodles image I knew it was one for this challenge. Image DLPD 9204 Butterfly Chick Spring Into Easter. I used the Black & White image which I coloured, but it’s also available as a pre-coloured image especially if you’re in a hurry. The design paper used was DLPD9948 Bee Buzzy Flowers & Plains. This cute image was coloured with the following Copic Chio markers: C1, YG00, YG03, YG06, YG23, W0, W1, W2, W3, Y00, Y02, Y38, YR07, BV000, BV00, BV04, B05, B12, and a black & white gel pen. I look forward to commenting on your entries this month. Happy crafting everyone. You can find my complete instructions for this card on my blog here

Zel - It is time for a memorydex card for Digi choosday spring theme. Here's the quick step how I made this project. Background: I trimmed my mixed media paper to 4x4 and used Heidi Swapp MemoryDex Hole Punch to punch the holes. I then sprayed Salvaged patina distress spray, sugar spun, and twisted citron to have spring feels. I also randomly added light green acrylic paint to add texture. then used tarnished brass as my splatters for my Focal point. I printed out Winnie Fruit Punch Embellies and layer the honey jars and the cute bees and adhere Sweet talker sentiment from Winnie Sugar Sprinkles Sentiment. Products used: Winnie Sugar Sprinkles Sentiment

EVE - Hello everyone! Today I used Winnie Sugar Sprinkles Springtime DESIGN SHEET 1 and fussy cut lots of different elements. I mounted the main image onto a white scalloped circle. The heart background paper is from Pretty Spring papers. Lastly, I added gems to the centre of my flowers and used my sewing machine to stitch around the edges of my card.

Judy - I've created a twisted easel card in spring colors for this week's inspiration project. One of my favorite Polkadoodles digis is Primrose from the Darling Buds collection so I just had to use her. She is colored with pencils and fussy cut. I adhered her to some paper doilies with foam tape onto the card front. Silk flowers from my stash and a bow were added.  Pearls were added to the flowers on Primrose.The sentiment acts as the stopper for the easel. It is stamped and die cut. I also added a beaded border.

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

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


Nina - Today it’s DigiChooseday again at Polkadooles – and this time everything is all about Easter. Spring and Easter simply belong together for me, so I chose the beautiful watercolor-style digi paper from the set Spring into Easter Set 2 . With it, I created a cute little Easter treat bag – perfect for chocolate, gummy sweets, and other small goodies. The centerpiece of the bag is the cute bunny from the set Cute Bunny Rabbit Easter Egg Basket. This image comes in two versions: a pre-colored one and another version that you can color yourself. I went with the pre-colored option this time because it’s quick, easy, and still looks so sweet. To finish it off, I added the sentiment Happy Easter from the set Spring into Easter messages. I also decorated the bag with a small tag and a few leafy branches. And just like that, you have a lovely little packaging idea for small gifts or Easter treats. I hope you like it! Love Nina

Kim D - Hello it's Kim here! Today is all about Easter and spring animals. So of course I am showcasing this adorable sheepy sheep! How cute right?
I used this cute digi:

This set has everything to design all the cute spring cards you need. Of course I paired my image with this sweet paper pack to bring out all the Easter feels.

Kim S - Hello everyone! I’m so excited to share my latest Design Team project for Polkadoodles. With Easter just around the corner, I couldn't resist playing with some of the easter digital stamps and clip art to create something sweet and spring-like. For this card, I focused on a soft pastel palette of purples and yellows. I used the adorable pre-coloured digi from the Spring into Easter set called Eggcited for Easter https://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/eggcited-chick-precoloured-spring-into-easter-cute-printable-craft-digital-stamp-download/ and added the cute In the Nest Chick to my design layout. https://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/in-the-nest-chick-precoloured-spring-into-easter-cute-printable-craft-digital-stamp-download/
I kept the colouring soft to match the whimsical feel of the illustrations. The tulips and butterflies which I added from the Springtime Smiles called Garden flowers I kept the colouring soft to match the whimsical feel of the illustrations. The tulips and butterflies add that perfect touch of spring nature. add that perfect touch of spring nature.
My paper selections come from Noodle the Panda set 2 https://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/set-2-noodle-panda-bear-cute-printable-digi-stamp-clipart-with-svg-outlines-for-card-making-crafting-printable-planner-sticker/ and Springtime Smiles https://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/pretty-spring-papers-printable-clipart-digital-stamp-digistamp-for-cards-cardmaking-crafting-and-stickers/ . To give the card some wow factor, I created a floral cascade using paper roses in varying shades of lilac, plum, and sunny yellow. It frames the central image perfectly!


Kaye - How apt for spring that we use this cute Chick with Balloon for this weeks' challenge. With a central theme of Easter of being grateful and feeling blessed as the new season ushers in. Here, I colored our chick using Ohuhu Markers and cut out pentagons as the backdrop to add interest. Enjoy!
Instagram: @kayeskraftivitee_

Ana - For this week’s Digi Choosday challenge, our DT theme is Easter featuring a sheep or spring animal, so I created a cute little house-shaped mini album using the adorable digi Honeypie Spring Lambs. I designed the house base in Cricut Design Space and cut multiple pages from white cardstock to form the album. Each page was layered with pretty patterned papers from the Winnie Sunshine Delights Paper Pack to give it that bright and happy spring feel. I added Cricut cut embellishments using the same pattern paper, colored the digi with Ohuhu Colored Pencils, and finished it off with enamel dots for extra cuteness. If you’re a Cricut user, I’ve also created a Design Space template to make it easy for you to recreate this mini album.

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


Wendy - Hiya everyone I hope that you are having a lovely week. Time for some more inspiration for our Digi Choosday challenge and today I have a pretty card to send someone special to tell them how much you love them. It's a Fence or Lattice style card and I thought it was perfect to showcase the wood panel papers and flowers in the Udderly Cute Collection. Its a really easy card to create and the measurements are on my blog if you want to know how I made it. The daisy ephemera, sentiment and the papersare all from the new collection. I finished off the card with lots of sparkly gems and clear sparkle pen for a special card. Love and crafty hugs Wendy x


Eve - I used Polkadoodles Lilac Haze watercolour flowers download and printed it 3 times so that I could fussy cut the flowers to add layers. I added some yellow glitter glue to the centres and layered them onto purple card. The background paper comes with the download as well as 6 other pretty papers. The flower image that I used is pre coloured but there is also a black and white image if you wish to colour it yourself. The sentiment is Spring Flower Mothers Day Friends greetings sentiments which I fussy cut and layered. The 'Mum' sentiment is from Mother's Day messages sentiments - again fussy cut and layered. The beautiful tag which I just had to buy after seeing Nikky on Hobbymaker TV channel is called Ribbon tag heart dies which I mounted and fussy cut onto purple card. Finally I added a Pretty Flower Flourish die with a brad for the centre and used my sewing machine to stitch around the edges of the card.



Kathie - Good morning and welcome to all my crafty friends and welcome to another Digi Choosday. It’s time for a new challenge for me once again. Our design team theme is Mother’s Day or a Mum’s birthday. We had free range with the colour palette which made me happy. I’ve made a birthday card for a special friend who loves the garden and tulips. I chose this image knowing full well she will love it. She has kept every card I’ve ever made for her. This wonderful Polkadoodles image is DLPD 9225 Butterfly Flowerpots this image comes black & white for you to colour as well as a coloured image and it also includes sentiments. The design paper used was DLPD 9391 Flower Wreath #8. The image was coloured with the following Copic Chio markers: 0, C0, C1, E11, E33, E35, RV02, RV13, W05, YG00, YG03, YG06, YG63 and a black gel pen. I look forward to commenting on whatever you make. Happy crafting everyone. You can find my complete instructions for this card on my blog here.


Jane Hi everyone! It was my Mum’s birthday last week, so I made her a card featuring thegorgeous elements from the PARTY TIME collection. I used this super cute PARTY BALLOON BUNNY RABBIT as the main image, then in Word I created a little scene around her with the elements from the PARTY BUNDLE. I used my favourite technique of printing my scene directly to the patterned paper, adding a shadow behind each image to give it some depth.

Zel - I Printed Helga hippo flowers and foliage and have it cut through my scan and cut machine to be mu focal point .For my layers I prepared a 4x5 green textured cardstock and a piece of 2x5 textured yellow card stock . For my card base an A4 white cardstock will do. I first adhere the green cardstock to my cardbase making sure that it is centered . I adhered the yellow cardstock on top of my green cardstock but this one is a little bit off centered. I also wanted to have layers of my focal point thats why I adhere the leaves on top of each other and added foam square to my flower and adhere it on top of my leaves. I added pearl embellishment to create a motherly look and for the final touch I adhered Sending Happiness sentiment from Winnie Sugar Sprinkles Sentiment. I used the Flowers and Foliage colour clipart for this project and Winnie Sugar Sprinkles quotes. Would love it if you could follow me on social:

Judy - For my inspiration card this week I am sharing a birthday card perfect for your Mum or Mom.
Using Sending Love - Udderly Cute. I colored this adorable digi with Prismacolor Pencils and fussy cut. My shaped card is backed with papers from Udderly Cute Printable Paper Packs 3 & 5. Pieces from Printable Ephemera - Udderly Cute were added as embellishments.

LIZ - Are you ready for Spring? I am ready to feel a little warm sun and see the lambs in the fields, so I couldn't resist using the Secret Garden Shelf Sitter mdf kit, which I coloured with some markers from my stash, adding bits of added dots for the blossom and toadstool caps,The flower effect on the front wall was created using the Wild sunshine stencil with some white ink through, a few more dots were added too, lolThe paper I used is from the Daisy Daisy paper pack, used on the right hand side to match with the flower effects in the scene,As it's Spring I couldn't resist adding some Rabbits and a sheep from my stash, Have Fun!!


ANA - For this week’s Digi Choosday DT prompt, we were to create something for Mother’s Day or Mom’s birthday. I decided to design something that could work for both occasions, a fun and thoughtful Do Not Disturb door hanger just for Mom’s special day! This project features the adorable Honeypie Sweet Flower Bouquet and Winnie Sunshine Delight Cheeky digi stamps, which I colored with alcohol markers for a bright and cheerful look. I paired them with a pretty pattern paper from the Happy Cactus Succulent collection for a fresh, bright, floral and happy background. To make it even easier for fellow crafters, I created a ready-to-use Design Space template for Cricut users (note: the digi stamps are not included here, you have to upload your preferred digi yourself). It’s a quick and versatile make that can be customized for either Mother’s Day or a birthday celebration, or just like me - both. If you’d like to see more of my crafty projects (and a few cat photos too), I’d love for you to follow me on my socials! Instagram: @my.cat.and.crafts Facebook: My Cat and Crafts
