So let's see what the Design Team have been making...
Ana - Hello crafty friends! For this week’s Design Team theme, Christmas in July, I created a festive set of 12 Christmas gift tags and 12 coordinating note cards using the beautiful
Poinsettia Wreath Bundle. And obviously, based on how much I was able to make, this gorgeous collection just made Christmas crafting so much fun!
You can find my full tutorial here. I used the
pretty poinsettia images, festive foliage, coordinating patterned papers, and sentiments to create a variety of designs while keeping everything beautifully coordinated. The tags were cut using my Cricut Maker and embellished with ribbons, trims, gem stickers, and twine for extra sparkle and texture. I also created simple note cards using the patterned papers and sentiments from the collection, then completed the set with handmade envelopes created using my envelope punch board. The
Poinsettia Wreath Bundle is perfect for creating all kinds of Christmas projects, from cards and tags to gift packaging and holiday décor. The images and papers coordinate effortlessly, making it easy to create beautiful Christmas projects in no time. I hope you’ve enjoyed today’s project! Be sure to join this week’s Digi Choosday challenge for your chance to win and share your creations with us.

Eve - Hello crafty friends, for today's card I used my Scan and cut to cut out the adorable
Bella Bear with lots of parcels pre coloured image. I mat and layered it onto some brown and white card to make it pop. Then I fussy cut and layered lots of elements with foam pads to add dimension. I added Glossy Accents and glitter pen to make it sparkle. The background paper is
Christmas paper patterns 2 which I die cut with some stitched square dies. The sentiment is from
Bella Bear Christmas greetings set. Thanks for visiting and good luck if you enter Digi Choosday!
Paula - I really try to make a holiday card every week but Christmas in July is the perfect reset to remind me to get on it because December will be here quicker than I realize. Here I am starting with this very merry
Santa card. I colored with alcohol markers and used a white acrylic marker for the snowfall. I love the bright colors and the whimsy for the holiday season.
Products used:
Sentiment ;
Papers I used Ohuhu markers - colors used: 0, 120, BG2, BG4, BG68 CGII00, C2, G7, NG06, R1,R3, R8, R18, Y2, Y3

Zel - I'm leaning into the "less is more" style with this Christmas in July card.With The trees and centerpiece ribbon from the Baked With Love Embellies digi set as my focal point.To make the digis color vibrant, I colored it with Ohuhu Alcohol markers, Then I took a random Christmas sentiment to make it more festive and adhere it under the tree.
Here are the measurements for cardbase and layers:
Card Base: Red cardstock (A2 size)
Layer 1: Red cardstock (4”x5” inches)
Layer 2: Black cardstock (4 3/8" x 5 1/4" inches)
Focal Point: Baked With Love - Embellies digis (the trees and ribbon), brought to life with Ohuhu alcohol markers for maximum vibrancy, grounded with a little strip of brown cardstock as it’s "soil."
To create the card:
Adhere your focal point to the first layer cardstock then add your sentiment. Once done, adhere your first layer cardstock to your second layer cardstock ( black cardstock ) and finally adhere them altogether to your A2 cardbase.

Our theme this week from Nikky was Christmas in July - really hard to get Christmassy in the Summer but it’s good for us crafters to get ahead! I decided to use the super
sweet Gingerbread Cookie collection for my 6” square Criss Cross Star card as it’s definitely one of my favourites. The card base was created from a Kraft card blank, simply cutting away the bottom left and right corners. I chose pretty papers from the collection to layer onto the card base and the off cut triangles before adhering these to the card base to form the star shape. I decided to add a smaller strip of card at the bottom too to make the card more stable. I coloured the littl
e Gingerbread Star Cookie with my promarkers before fussy cutting out along with some of the pre-coloured clipart which I used to decorate the card. The finishing touches was lots of glossy accents to the icing on the little gingerbreads icing.
I hope you like my card and will join in the fun in the blog challenge this week. Have a fantastic week. Love and crafty hugs x.

Jane - Hello everyone. As Christmas is a mere 6 months away it’s time to get making those festive cards. There are so many wonderful Christmas collections in the Polkadoodles store that you really are spoilt for choice, but today I have decided to use the super cute
PICKLES HEDGEHOG. This particular image is called
CANDY CANE, and I coloured him with pencils on tan-toned paper. I used a die from the
VINTAGE SNOWGLOBE DIE SET to make the shaped card and heat embossed a sentiment from the
LET IT SNOW stamp set in gold.
Kathie - Good morning and welcome to all my crafty friends and welcome to another Digi Choosday. This fortnight our design team’s theme is Christmas in July. Isn’t that scary to think it’s less than 6 months to go before Christmas is here again. Where has 2026 gone too? We had free range with the colour palette. The design papers I chose were in the teals and aqua’s. It’s always handy to have extra Christmas cards on hand. This cute Polkadoodles image I chose is
Candy Cane Gnome Festive Fun and this image comes black & white for you to colour. The design paper used was
Set 2 Christmas Printable Digital Paper and the sentiment came from
Christmas Greeting, Sentiment. The image was coloured with the following Copic Chio markers: C1, E000, E00, E02, E25, E31, E33, E37, E43, YG03, YG17, YG23, BG09, BG13, BG15, BG49 and a white gel pen. I look forward to commenting on whatever you make. Happy crafting everyone. You can find my complete instructions on my blog here
