Let's see the beautiful projects from the DT this week!

Ana - Hello, crafty friends! For this week's Digi Choosday Challenge, I created a clean and simple birthday card with a little twist, I used a Christmas digi for a birthday card! It’s good to always remember that sometimes, all it takes is a different color palette and sentiment to give a seasonal image a whole new purpose. For this card, I used Mabel Christmas digi stamp and paired it with the Age is Just a Number sentiment from the Wanda Messages & Quotes collection. I also chose soft shades of purple. I hope this project inspires you to look at your digital stamps in a different way and stretch your stash even further. You might be surprised by how versatile they really are!
If you want to learn more about how I made this card, you can read about it HERE...

Maria - Birthdays are such a big part of our family’s autumn celebrations — and really, gold and shimmer feel perfect for any special occasion, don’t they? For this birthday card, I die-cut leaves from the Sweet Poinsettia flower Dies and used them as stencils to build my background. I blended yellow, orange and red ink across the panel, then added delicate gold speckles and traced over some leaf veins with a gold brush pen. Using the Nested Heart Dies, I cut out all sorts of pretty details from shiny copper cardstock and soft tinted white, then arranged them gently. To finish, I added the Celebrate sentiment die - sending the warmest wishes to whoever receives this one. Here's my socialmedia:

Vicky - G’Day Crafty Friends, I’ve created a fun Pop-Up Easel card for today mixing blues & browns. Perfect for celebrating that special occasion. The Flower Birthday Celebration Cake with Candles Digital Stamp comes coloured & non-coloured which means you have 2 choices. I went with the already coloured one & printed it out twice so that I could pop a couple of flowers with Foam Tape. It’s been teamed it with the lovely Bee Buzzy Stripes & Gingham Printable Paper Patterns. I think a perfect match! I love that you can mix & match the digi products. The sentiment is from the Birthday Sentiments & Greetings Digi Stamp which is full of lovely sentiments for birthdays. This fun fold is a great way to add that little wow factor to handmade cards. The dimensional design stands beautifully for display, while still folding down for posting & gifting. Enjoy your day. Vicky

Nat - Hello Everyone!! My card is using the Scorpio Digital stamp, I thought she was sooo gorgeous. I fell in love with her gorgeous hair, I'm not sure I could handle the brushing if it was my hair but I love her. I coloured with Copics, repeating the colour combination for unity. I used the Everyday Sentiment pack which has sooo many sentiments. One side is Christmas base and the other is Everyday sentiments and there is soo soo many in the pack.
Copics Used
Skin - E13, E00 and E50
Hair - E57, E47 and E41
Teal - BG18, BG13 and BG11
Grey - C5, C3 and C1
Shoes - 110, C9, C7 and C5

Kim - For my latest Design Team project, I wanted to lean into those cozy, crisp feelings of the new season using the gorgeous new Hello Autumn digital collection from Polkadoodles. This time around, I decided to work with one of their adorable pre-coloured cliparts, and I am just in love with how it turned out! I created an interactive easel card structure using soft pastel cardstock and patterned papers that perfectly complement the autumn theme. To make the centerpiece really pop, I printed an 2 extra copies of the gorgeous sunflower bouquet, did some careful fussy cutting, and layered portions of the flowers using dimensional foam.
The Star of the Show is this precious little hedgehog digistamp hugging such a massive, cheerful bouquet of sunflowers just melts my heart. I finished the focal panel with a delicate scalloped edge and some subtle sparkle.  The sentiment panel Nuts about you,
 also comes from the new Hello Autumn digital set and there’s so many fun ones to choose from. paired with matching pastel florals and delicate pearl accents to tie the whole pastel-and-autumn palette together.  My digital paper choices too come from the same set. Easel cards are so much fun to make because they fold flat for mailing but stand up so proudly for display on a desk or mantel. Happy crafting, everyone!


Ana - Hello, crafty friends! Today I’m sharing another cozy autumn card featuring Hello Autumn character digi, Bear and Mouse Scarf. I paired this cute digi with the coordinating Hello Autumn Pattern Papers Set A and a matching sentiment to create a warm card sending warm hugs that’s perfect for the season. I had a relaxing and fun time creating this design using a card sketch as my starting point. If you’d like to see the sketch I used and read more about how I adapted it for this project, be sure to visit my blog for all the details! You can read about this card HERE.  Don’t forget to check out the beautiful Hello Autumn Collection on the Polkadoodles website and join the latest Digi Choosday Challenge, we’d love to see what you create!

Cute Penguin handmade card made by Wendy
 
Hello everyone! Have you started making your Christmas cards yet ? I've made a few this year but it's definitely time to make a few more so our theme this week from Nikky was Christmas using a Snowman and Animal was perfect to give me a nudge to crack on LOL. I knew instantly I had to use my absolute favourite Theo Penguin and luckily there was a perfect image with his Snowman friend.
So I chose a christmassy paper from the collection and used this to layer onto a lime green, book binding Z fold card, die cutting an arched frame from the lime green card for my main focal panel. I added white glitter card into the centre of the frame, to coordinate with the snowman and then adhered the fussy cut out image onto this. The sentiment from the collection was cut into a simple strip and layered onto lime green card before adding to the bottom of the main panel.
The finishing touches for my Christmas card today were glitter to the snowman's hat, a few white gelly roll pen highlights and a scattering of teal confetti around the design. A really simple but I think fun card.
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.

Christmas card idea using Clear photopolymer stamps and digital stamps together by Jane

Hello everyone. I am sharing a little FROSTY WINTER SMILES clear stamp goodness today featuring this sweet little snowman digital stamp with his bird pal called NEW FRIENDS. I created a wintery scene using clear stamps from the JINGLE BELLS stamp set and coloured with Copics. I stamped the little ‘jingle’ bell from the set 3 times then hand drew a cord to make them into a garland spanning one of the trees and the sentiment. A little torn and inked paper at the bottom became a snow drift for all to stand on and I finished with doodling around the edges.

How to create a shaped triangle handmade card, by 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. I can’t believe Christmas is nearly here for 2026 where has the year gone? Did you know that we only have 13 Friday’s before Christmas day, that’s a bit scary isn’t it. I don’t know how many times I read our brief for this card, I knew it was Christmas, Snowman with animal/bird so what did I do I made a card with Santa and Penguins. So guess what, we all make mistakes, none of us a perfect, so I remade my card with what I was meant to do in the first place. I honestly must have been dreaming.
Today I’ve used this very cute Polkadoodles image SNOWFRIENDS from the Theo Penguin collection. A wonderful Snowman and this very cute Penguin friend. The design paper used was Bella Bear Christmas Set 2. This image comes black & white for you to colour, and it’s also available pre coloured to purchase. The image was coloured with the following Copic Ciao markers: C0, C1, C2, C3, C5, C7, 100 Black, YR16, Y35, E35, R37, R46, R59, B000, B12, B23, B24, G05, G17, White Gel pen. This card is definitely not traditional Christmas colours. I also attached a little Pompom on our Snowman’s beanie. I added a few crystal gems to represent snow falling. I look forward to visiting your blogs soon. Happy crafting everyone. You can find my complete instructions on my blog here.

Make a fun Santa themed handmade Christmas card...made by Eve

Hi crafty friends, it's time for my Digi Chooday design team card and today's theme is Christmas!
For my card, I used the Santa Snowman pre-coloured digi image and decorated it with Stickles to add a lovely touch of sparkle. I then used the gorgeous Merry Christmas Greetings Circle Wreath Dies to frame the image. I mounted this onto some light blue card which I had embossed using a snow embossing folder, adding a lovely snowy texture to the background. To finish my card, I added some pretty gems, a Poinsettia die and some corner punches, which completed my festive design.
Good luck entering the challenge!

Create a cute and fun Snowman card using cute digital stamps - handmade by Paula...

Hello again crafters! I made this cutie snowman and little birdie digistamp design into a wintery card that has so much texture and sparkle. I am not afraid of glitter – I embrace the sparkles! The background is an easy technique to do with pattern papers before printing it out. Adding special details can really give so much interest in your projects. I finished this with this lovely Christmas sentiment printable which i love. I used Ohuhu markers - color used: 0, BV29, BV31, BV38, R015, V13, V14, V18, V112, YR45, YR112, YR213

Adorable Handmade Trick or Treat bags made by Yvonne

Spooky season is almost here and I'm jumping in with these super cute, slightly spooky gift/treat bags and tags. I created the treat bag using my Silhouette Cameo first and added digital paper designs from the Gnome Halloween Trick or Treat digital set packs 1 & 2 . 
I printed and fussy cut Winnie Wednesday pre-coloured digital images Winnie Wednesday Skull as well as Winnie Wednesday Witch and Cat. 
These awesome little sentiment strips come from the new Hello Autumn digital set and aren't they just the cutest. 
These were easy to put together by utilizing a pre-coloured image for my tags and an svg file i cut out on my Silhouette for the treat bags. They are perfect for gifting halloween treats or adding a handmade touch to your spooky decor. Have a crafty day!
