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

Wendy - I hope the weather is being kind where you are and you are having a great week. I think Autumn is my favourite time of the year where I live as the colours around the mountains and in the garden are wonderful ans the high temperatures have started to subside ! What is your favourite season of the year ? I decided to use one of the perfect digital stamps from the Freddy Fox Collection today - what could be better than a super cute fox - this is Apple Barrel Fox, coloured with my Promarkers in Autumnal shades and then fussy cut out. I created an ink smooshed background using lots of orange and yellow distress inks on watercolour card and then added little stamped and stencilled details in distress oxides and gold acrylic paint. Next I chose a couple of the leafy papers from the collection adding strips of these below my inked panel with torn edges on each layer. I love the added texture this gives the design.
I had some little mushrooms from another project that I coloured with alcohol pens to coordinate and also stamped some extra leaves, adding this to the design.
The finishing touches for my card were sparkly gems and white Gelly roll pen highlights around the design
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.

Ana - Hi crafty friends! This week’s Digi Choosday Design Team challenge prompt is all about Yellow & Orange and Fall/Autumn is Coming, so I brought back one of my all-time favorite Polkadoodles characters - the ultimate fall cutie, Fall Fox! I created a mixed media card by layering an embossed background, patterned paper, autumn leaves, and pompom trim before popping Fall Fox up with foam tape. To finish everything off, I added splatters of Distress Oxide Spray in Walnut Stain for that perfectly imperfect autumn feel. Fall Fox was colored with my trusty Ohuhu Alcohol Markers.

Paula – I am so excited to make this card because Autumn is really coming! I don’t love the heat of the summer months and Autumn, for some reason, always boosts my creativity. Just the thought that Autumn is coming makes me happy. For this card, I chose to use the pre-colored image and bring out the Autumn colors of yellow, orange, and brown to help highlight the adorable fox.

Jane - Hello everyone. I hope you’re enjoying the hot weather, I know I’m not. Anyway, to look forward to autumn (and I cannot wait) I have a card inspired by the team theme of ‘Yellow & Orange’. I have created an oval shaped card working with the fabulous BUZZY BEE COLLECTION using Word to insert and arrange my images directly onto some patterned paper, adding shadows and then printing out to colour with Copics. I cut the words up in my sentiment so I could add the ‘You’ on top of the flower. I also cut them at quirky angles to add some interest. To finish off the design I layered some green card at the bottom which I cut using a grass die.

Kathie - Good morning and welcome to all my crafty friends and welcome to another Digi Choosday. This time our design team’s theme is Autumn Colours. Here in New Zealand it’s the middle of winter, we’ve had a few frosts lately and they are noticeable especially when you’re not used to them. Nowadays where we live, frosts are few and far between. I’m looking forward to spring as I think it’s my favourite month. This cute Gnome image I used from Polkadoodles is called Gnome Holding Carrots. This image comes black & white for you to colour as well as a pre coloured image. This set also comes with four design papers as well two sentiments. One of the design papers used was part of the Gnome download and I also used the orange paper out of Set 3 Wanda Papers. The image was coloured with the following Copic Chio markers: C0, C1, C2, C3, C5, E000, E00, E02, E35, E37, YG03, YG06, YG63, YG91, YG95, Y08, Y17, YR04, YR07, YR16. I look forward to commenting on whatever you make. Happy crafting everyone. You can find my complete instructions on my blog here.

Eve - Hi there, it’s time for another challenge at Digi Chooday and the theme is Autumn is coming.
I decided to make a stepper card today with the ever so cute Pumpkin Autumn fall fox pre coloured image. The sentiment is from the Autumn fall greeting sentiment download which has got so many lovely sentiments for all occasions. My backing papers are from the Autumn Fall paper patterns 3 and the cute pumpkins are the Autumn fall bundle of colour clipart. I finished off my card with my sewing machine, corner punch, and some brads. I was going to add some decoupage layers but decided less is more! I hope you like my card and good luck if you enter the challenge.




Thanks so much team!! What lovely makes we have today!

We hope we've inspired you to enter the challenge - we'll be back next week with more inspiration for this one - good luck!

We'll be back next week with the winners of the last challenge!

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


Ana - Hi Crafty Friends! This week’s Digi Choosday Design Team prompt is Use Acetate or Vellum, and I created these soft and dainty floral cards using embossed vellum.
For my cards, I used patterned papers and coordinating sentiments from three beautiful Polkadoodles collections: Flower Meadow, Dahlia Flower 1, and Lilac Haze. Instead of using the digi stamps this time, I let the pretty floral papers take bloom on these 3 different cards.
To soften the vibrant designs, I embossed a piece of vellum using an embossing folder and layered it over the patterned paper before adding the sentiment. It’s a simple technique that adds lovely texture while creating a softer, more elegant look.
If you’d like to recreate these cards, I’ve shared the full step-by-step tutorial on my blog.

Kim S - Today I'm absolutely thrilled to share this brand new custom card featuring a completely darling digital stamp from the Bee Buzzy digital download set called Bee Buzzy girl gnome buddies. I also added some fussy cut flowers from the Party Time Ephemera digital set for added dimension and texture. My paper selections come from Fluffy Friends paper pack 1  as well as Coffee Tea and Cake.
I had so much fun losing myself in the soft pastel shades and adding tons of gorgeous glittery shimmer to the fairy's wings and all the flower details. I layered the fairy over a stitched pink gingham tag which i added a die cut vellum tag to tie into the shimmery ethereal affect on the fairy wings. Finally accenting with the baker's twine which i wrapped around the middle card stock and paper layer.

Natalie - I coloured the Bee Cute - Bee Buzzy Gnome with Copics. For the wings I traced the outline of each wing, so they each had 4 wings, and cut it out leaving an extra long end so I can adhere it to the back of the image. Made a slit the length of the wings and slipped the vellum through. A mutli liner pen was used over the vellum to finish off the hair and gives the impression some of the hair being in front of the wings. Finish with some stardust Stickles over the wings and behind the vellum the wings are slightly coloured with BV01 and BG11.

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



Kathie - Good morning my crafty friends and welcome to another Digi Choosday. This fortnight our design team’s theme is Back To School. Thank goodness my boys have passed their school days, but hopefully one day I’ll have grandchildren going off to school. We had free range with the colour palette. I’ve made a back to school card for my Great Niece who will be starting school in early March 2027. I’ve used this very cute image Cute Girl with Stationery. This image comes black & white for you to colour. There is also an image that is pre coloured to purchase if you need to make a card in a hurry. The design paper used was Graduation Schools Student Paper Bundle. The image was coloured with the following Copic Chio markers: C1, E000, E00, E02, E31, E33, E37, E43, E50, RV10, YG03, G02, G05, G07, B05, BV02, Y06, Y35, YR04, R27. The embellishments were buttons I had in my stash, so I photocopied them and fussy cut them and mounted on foam tape. The blackboards inside the card were handmade. I look forward to commenting on whatever you make. Happy crafting everyone. You can find my complete instructions on my blog here https://kathiezkardz.blogspot.com/

Ana - Hi Crafty Friends! For this week’s Digi Choosday Design Team project, I created these fun and colorful Glitter Shaker Bookmarks perfect for the back-to-school DT theme!
I used the adorable Cute Boy and Cute Girl Students digi stamps from Polkadoodles and colored them using Ohuhu Alcohol Markers.To make these bookmarks, I created transparent plastic pouches using my We R Memory Keepers Fuse Tool, inserted the colored digi images, added shaker bits, then sealed everything together to create fun interactive bookmarks. After that, I put cute, polka dot ribbons for an extra cuteness!For the full list of materials and step-by-step instructions, be sure to check out my blog: https://mycatandcrafts.blogspot.com/2026/07/digi-choosday-project-back-to-school.html

Eve - Hello there and welcome to another Digi Choosday challenge. Today’s theme is Back to School.
For my card I used the Cute Girl with stationary pens pencils pre coloured image and cut out several layers using my scan and cut machine. I also decoupaged a few things by printing the image a few times and fussy cutting them out to add dimension. The back to school sentiment is from the Graduation School Student ephemera download and I added my own script. My background papers are from the Udderly cute love and Bee Buzzy stripes. I added a strip of washi tape for the tape measure and some brads. Finally, I finished off my card by machine stitching around the edges.
This cute girl looks so excited to be going back to school - something I never was!! Sunday night Scaries was definitely a thing in my house growing up!
Thanks for visiting and good luck entering the challenge.

Wendy - Hello everyone wishing you a wonderful week and I hope that you are enjoying the Summer. Not wishing time to fly but i'm sure some of you will be starting to think about the children going back to school so this weeks theme for the DT of Back to School is perfect. Why not make a Back to School card for someone special using the perfect Graduation School collection. It's packed with perfect images, papers and sentiments. I decided to create a Teepee card and chose one of the cute apple papers to cover the card base I had created from green cardstock. I used the very sweet Cute Girl with glasses, coloured with promarkers and fussy cut out buy hand, I also coloured a couple of the apples from the digital stamp bundle too, to tie in with the paper I had used. I printed out several pieces of pre-coloured ephemera, some word art and a sentiment too and used these the layer onto the card for extra interest. To finish off my Back to School card I added lots of gold confetti around the design, white gelly roll pen highlights and glossy accents to the little girls glasses.
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.
I would love it if you could follow me on social: https://olivefarmcrafts.blogspot.com/

Jane - Hello everyone. We are mid-way through the school summer holidays here in the UK so now would be a great time to make those encouraging cards for the beginning of the new term. I have used this sweet student from the GRADUATION/SCHOOL collection, just look at her adorable face. I added her to one of the fabulous papers in this set and then created a banner by layering a piece of the EPHEMERA and a flag sentiment from the OBJECT BUNDLE then printed it all out as a single layer design. I do love a shaped card so I broke out my hexagon dies and added some punched stars as she is definitely a star student.

Paula – I love to prepare the kids in my life some encouragement as they embark on something new. That includes the first day of the school year. It’s always sad summer break is over and maybe a little scary as they start the new year maybe even in a new school. I made this bright and colorful card with sparkly holographic stars that will include a special message for a young lady.
Products used:
I used Ohuhu markers - colors used: BR2, BV48, CG01, GG03, R12, R18, R19, R23, R29, RV01, WG01, Y2, Y3, YR209
Hope you like it! See you next time - I’d love to follow you on Socials, here’s mine if you’d like to give me a follow too!

Thanks so much team!! What lovely makes we have today!
We hope we've inspired you to enter the challenge - we'll be back next week with more inspiration for this one - good luck!
