So let's see what the Design Team have been making this week...we asked them to show some inspiration for Purple and lilac colours...


Candace - For today's challenge project, the theme is February Birthday - Amethyst, use puurple and diamond shape. I created this February Birthday card using the image Pisces Digital Stamp and Zodiac Paper Pack. I used a diamond shape die cut to cut out the pattern papers and purple cardstock.

Jane – My diamond shaped card is to celebrate my mum’s birthday, and as her birth stone is amethyst our DT theme this week was perfect. I have watercoloured the beautiful FLOWER MEADOW digi deal and added the ‘Mum’ from the WINNIE SUGAR SPRINKLES QUOTES KIT and the ‘Birthday Wishes’ from the WANDA SENTIMENT BUNDLE.

KIM STEWART -For our Design Team Project this week it was using my Favourite colour purple. Yippee. I bet you think I'm going to use Winnie since i love her so much eh? HA! fooled you, not this time. I chose Serenity Fairy Earthstar for my card front. I love her wispy hair and dress. I printed her out quite big so she fills up most of the card, which i typically do 6" X 6". I added some diamond AB jewels to the card front, and Diamond glitter glue to make her wings sparkle. A simple little birthday wishes tag that hides behind the image. My paper selections come from the Lilac Haze set. They fit perfectly with my purple/lilac fairy.

Martine Bruinings - A Darling Bud.... that is what i used this time. There are several of this gorgeous lady's. All with differend flowers.This is Marigold . I added some gorgeous flowers to it ... all in purple. Hope you like it!

Jennifer - Hello again crafty friend! I hope the new year has been good for you so far. For my first project of the year, I made an Amethyst inspired birthday card with Polkadoodles, "FreddyFox" printable image.This was a very easy card to put together. I was able to print the "Freddy Fox" image and color him with alcohol markers to go with the amethyst aesthetic I was going for. I really love how he came out! After Freddy was finished, I needed a background panel to put him on. So I used my cricut to design and cut an argyle inspired stencil. I used design space to create the 1st stencil layer, which is just a 6x6in. panel, with a bunch of diamonds in a checkerboard pattern. Then I designed the 2nd stencil layer by making another 6x6 panel with diagonal stripes. After cutting both stencils, and Freddy, I ink blended the argyle pattern on 80lb white cardstock. I used distress inks 'shaded lilac' & 'wilted violet' for the diamonds, and 'twisted citron' & 'mowed lawn for the strips. After cutting out the sentiment, it was time to assemble everything. I trimmed the argyle panel down to 4x5¼, and matted it onto an A2 panel of light purple cardstock. Then I popped Freddy up with some foam tape and stuck him onto the card. I ended up putting the sentiment onto a shadow layer, that was cut from the same light purple cardstock. I popped up the sentiment with more foam tape, and the card is finished! I really enjoy making projects with Polkadoodles digital stamps. I hope I've inspired you to try something new this year! Have a creative day! Jennifer S @pueen_queen

Samantha Pfrimmer - It’s time for another Digi Chooseday Challenge and the design team was asked to use the color purple with a diamond shape. For my make, I started with the Watercolour Flower Stem digi . This flower was so lovely I wanted it to be the main feature of my card design. I also selected a pattern paper from the Noodle Panda Set 2 digital paper collection, opting for an indigo paper with a subtle floral diamond design. Once I started Copic-coloring my main image I thought it would be nice to add a little paper piecing detail. I ran my printed pattern paper back through the printer with the flower and shaded a few petals in gray. I next fussy cut my petals and glued them to my floral image that I had colored. I then matted the completed image also using the same pattern paper and finished with a sentiment selected from the Birthday Sentiments and Greetingsdigital stamp set. The final touch, a few diamond shaped embellishments.


Huge thanks to the design team for all their inspiration today - we hope we've given you lots of ideas to use in your own cards - remember! We LOVE you to copy the ideas we show you, it's what we're here for!

So let's see what the Design Team have been making this week...we asked them to show some inspiration for Valentines...


CHRISTIN The next special day this year is Valentines Day. I took the Love You bunches and colored it with my alcohol markers. For the background a used a stencil, some Distress Oxide, the PhotoFrame and some enamel dots. So that it doesn’t get too crowded on the card I made a slimline card.

Wendy - Hello everyone I hope you are all well - Do you make Valentine's Cards or even Galantine's card? This week the team was asked to create a Valentine's card using and image from the Lucy Monkman Collection or Gil Rabbit collection.


Monika - I chose this gorgeous Stylish Dog by Lucy Monkman - its just the sort of card my Hubby loves, simple and stylish and they come as black and white or pre-coloured. I've used a paper and sentiment from the Lily Bug Ladybird collection for my simple and stylish Valentine's Day card....Have a lovely week xx Monika - Hi all crafters, it's Monika. It is that time of the year when we start to get ready for the loveliest day of the year! Today, I'm sharing with you a Pillar Double Bridge Card I created with no cutting dies. All you need is the most adorable digi stamp 'Love you Bunches' and some absolutely gorgeous design papers from 'Coffee Tea and Cake' and 'Winnie Celebrations 1' bundles. These two collections are just perfect for St.Valentine's Day so you can easily mix and match them. I also used a sentiment from the 'Love Birds Greetings Valentine' bundle which has perfect sentiments for this special occasion.
Happy crafting!

So let's see what the Design Team have been making this week...we asked them to show some inspiration using 3 squares of paper...

Samantha - It’s time for another Digi Choosday Challenge and the design team was challenged to use 3 squares of pattern paper. For my make, I started with creating squares using pattern paper from the Lily Bug Ladybird Papers 2 digi set. I loved all of the coordinating paper options in this set and it was a perfect choice for a Valentine’s card. Next, I Copic-colored the Love Bird Heart Basket Valentine image using similar colors found in my pattern paper. After fussy cutting out the image, I arranged the squares onto a pink card panel matted with a charcoal gray cardstock and I adhered my Love Bird image with foam tape for a little extra dimension. I finished everything off with a sentiment selected from the Love Birds Greetings Valentine sentiments and messages.

Kim Stewart - For my first Design Team project in 2024 I went with CAS because i was all carded out from my crazy Christmas card creating. I chose Freddy Fox for my card and some decorative paper (3 designs to be exact; two outside and one inside) as well as https://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/autumn-fall-paper-patterns-1-printable-craft-card-making-digital-downloads and https://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/autumn-fall-paper-patterns-1-printable-craft-card-making-digital-downloads/.  I Coloured cute Freddy up with my Copic markers, fussy cut him out and popped him up on a center circle. What's so fun is, if you aren't into colouring or don't have the time https://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/ has coloured digital images as well. So it's really quite easy to create a simple card such as mine with relatively minimal supplies.
Make 2024 the year you tackle digital images. You won't regret it. Have a Crafty Week!
Jane – Happy New Year everyone! I hope 2024 has started well for you! My first make for this year is a birthday card for my brother using the MUSIC RECORD GNOME bundle. I used some extra backing papers from THIS COLLECTION too.

Candace - For today's challenge project, the theme is 3 squares, use 3 different pattern paper squares. I used the image Snowman Elvis Wesley Moose as my focus and then used Posydoodles Square Dies to cut out 3 different pattern papers to go layered behind the image. The sentiment I printed at the bottom of the image before cutting out. The sentiment is from Christmas Greetings, Quotes and Sentiments. The pattern papers are from Happy Christmas and Spring into Easter.

So let's see what the Design Team have been making this week!

The team have been really busy again this week...we asked them to celebrate with the January birthstone 'Garnet' colours...

Christin - Welcome to the new year at DigiChoosday! For the new challenge I made a shaker card with this lovely Gnometastic Happy Birthday Gnom. I cut out an oval and stamped the happy birthday on the baseboard for making my shaking element. The gnome I colored with my alcohol markers.

Wendy - Hello everyone wishing you all a very Happy New Year! Today's card is for a January birthday and we were asked to use the colour Red and an oval. I decided to use one of the cute images from the January collection called Heart on Your Sleeve, coloured with my Promarkers. The Sentiment is from the Rebel Girl collection and the pretty polka dot papers are from the Lily bug collection...

Monika - Hi all crafters! It's Monika with an oval birthday card. This colour palette is very unusual for me but I have to admit that I absolutely enjoyed making this card. I used some red card and a beautiful design paper from the 'Winnie Celebrations 1' bundle and a 'Birthday Balloon' digi stamp. To add a sparkle I used a clear overlay and white gel pen for highlights. If you have never created a card with the red colour, give it a go, I'm sure you will like it!Happy crafting! https://www.instagram.com/quillinglady/, https://www.youtube.com/craftingwithquillinglady

kel - Happy New Year! I'm looking forward to another year of crafty fun!! For this week's challenge I'm using this adorable sweetheart Just Lovely - Honeypie and framed her in a simple scalloped oval diecut. I also backed her with the XOXO paper from the Wing of Love - Love Birds Valentine Papers and popped up this sweet sentiment from the Love Always Sentiments set. To finish it off I added some heart stickers and baker's twine from my stash. Thanks for joining us! Visit me at http://blog.scrap-photograffs.com
