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



Kim S - I just can't get enough of these cute gnome digis from the Bee Buzzy set. Aren't they just the cutest?Which one(s) are your favs? I love Daisy Delight. For this weeks design team challenge I chose the What's the Buzz set . Just so cute. Coloured in him in yellow and black and then added some floral stems that i chose from the flower digital pak that is also part of the set. My flowery paper selection comes from Winnie Daisy Fairy ll pack 4. After fussy cutting everything out, I layered all my pieces onto a round card and added my sentiment. Don't forget to enter this week's challenge. Prize money to be won. We'd love to see what you've been working on this week.
Kaye - This week Technology takes the centerstage and what better way to present this by using Tech/ipad/phone/tablet - Lil Miss Sugarpops and placing her on a card with floating pixels behind her. This digi stamp reminded me of how looking at my phone makes me want to message my friends which is why I added the sentiment "Missin' You". So go on, message or ring your friends, I'm sure they miss you too. My Instagram: @kayeskraftivitee_

ANA - Hi crafty friends! Today I’m sharing a cute and functional Notepad and Pen Holder I created using Polkadoodles goodies! I used the adorable Texting Girl digi stamp, which I colored with alcohol markers and glitter pens. The patterned papers are from the sweet and cheerful Winnie Daisy Fairy printable collection — I chose a lavender color with subtle flora patterns to complement the hair color of the girl, and I really like how it turned out. This little project makes a great desk companion or gift idea! If you’d like to recreate it, I’ve shared full step-by-step instructions (with measurements and scoring guide) here. Don’t forget to join us over at the Digi Choosday Challenge for fun weekly inspiration and prizes!

Martine - Hello, back for you with another card. I have got Knowledge is everything for you colored up. As always colored with my Distress inks. And you might ( maybe) not see it on the picture, but i filled her glasses with Dimensional Magic from ModPodge. You get that great look of real glass !Then i used that great looking snips.... Rebel with Attitude Easy Snips ..that is. There are some realy quarky snaps there! Lol...
Nina - Shopping is my cardio! I've been getting creative again – this time with a cute little card featuring the lovely Wanda from the digi stamp set Wanda Working.
Let’s be honest: who doesn’t love a cozy shopping session from the couch, filling up the cart with fabulous finds and totally losing track of time? That’s exactly what Wanda is doing – hard at work on her laptop while treating herself to a little online shopping bliss! This card is perfect as a gift voucher – whether for a fun shopping day in the city or a digital spree from the comfort of home. I designed it using the mint green digi paper in a charming shabby chic look from the Pretty Printable Papers 2 – Helga Hippo set. And the quote “Shopping is my cardio” comes from the Messages and Quotes – Wanda set. Could it be any more fitting? It’s like it was made for shopaholics!

Ana Hi crafty friends! I’m Ana from My Cat and Crafts, and I’m so excited to share another fun make with you today! You can find me on Instagram @my.cat.and.crafts and on Facebook at My Cat and Crafts.Today’s project features none other than the fabulous Wanda, and I just had to pair her with this hilarious (and oh-so-relatable!) sentiment from the Wanda’s Messages and Quotes sentiment pack:“My favourite emails are the ones that say my order has shipped.” Honestly, isn’t that the truth? For the background, I created a colorful slimline card base decoration using layered die cuts of patterned papers from the Winnie’s Let’s Hangout bundle — so many cute prints to play with! I colored Wanda using alcohol markers and glitter markers because, let’s face it, Wanda is a sparkly, spunky girl who deserves to shine! To make the sentiment pop against the white, I layered it on vellum, and for a bit of extra color, I added enamel dots and used foam tape to raise both Wanda and the sentiment for dimension. If you want to see the full step-by-step guide for this card, hop on over to my blog. And don’t forget to follow me on my crafty adventures on Instagram and Facebook for more projects and inspiration!


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

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


Kerri - Hi everyone! Here is a card I made using the Digital Bundle called Ephemera Autumn Fall Fox. I used multiple images from this set. I printed Image onto Kraft card stock colored with Ohuhu Markers and did some shading with Prisma Pencils. The sentiment from the Perfectly Perfect Sentiment stamps was stamped onto white card stock and cut out with the matchable dies. 


Wendy - Hello everyone ! Are you ready for a some spooky fun ? Why not have a look at the fabulous Hocus Pocus collection as its perfect for all those spooky projects.
My Halloween pumpkin themed DL card uses pumpkins from a couple of the sets, Ghastly Ghosts and the Hocus Pocus Witches. I merged the 5 different pumpkins on my computer before printing out and colouring with promarkers. The sentiment is also from the collection and I have applied gold foil to this after blending distress inks to create my spooky fun background. For an added bit of spookiness I used some fluorescent gel pens to colour the eyes and mouths and added black sparkly gems.
Why not create something spooky and join in with the challenge. Love and crafty hugs. Wendy J x


Jane - I made this pumpkin shaped card and decorated with the Boo Halloween download bundle - there's so much in the kit you're spoiled for choice!
 
KM - Have you watched the next season of Wednesday? Inspired by the spooky vibe of the show, I designed a Halloween handmade card featuring the Winnie Wednesday digital stamp and a sentiment from the Trick or Treat printables. For the background, I stamped a graveyard scene in pigment ink and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder to give it texture. Using Distress Inks in black soot and seedless preserves, I blended the colors together to create a moody night sky. To add an extra spooky effect, I splattered white acrylic paint across the scene, making it look like ghostly orbs floating above the cemetery. Would you try this style on your next spooky card?

Ana - Hello crafty friends! It’s Ana of My Cat and Crafts. For this week’s Digi Choosday inspiration, I created a cozy Autumn Wood Slice Decor featuring the adorable Pumpkin Autumn Fall Fox digi stamp from Polkadoodles. I colored the image with alcohol markers and mounted it onto a wood slice, layered with Cricut-cut autumn leaves made from paper scraps. I tucked the leaves under the digi for dimension and added a cluster of ribbons and trims to finish it off. I loved making this because it was a perfect scrapbusting project plus a quick and fun way to decorate for the season! Be sure to join us every week for Digi Choosday—you’ll find exclusive discounts, inspiration from the team, and tons of crafty fun! See more of my makes over on Instagram, @my.cat.and.crafts and Facebook, My Cat and Crafts. Happy crafting!

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


Kaye - Christmas is fast approaching, and what a perfect time to create a new christmas decor for your home. and I did exactly that, using Honeypie Cutiepie, I colored her in Christmas shades to get into the Christmas spirit. Then I placed miniature Christmas lights to accentuate her into the snow globe. Enjoy! My Instagram - @kayeskraftivitee_

Ana - I created my first Christmas project for this year - an easel card with a clear acetate front, featuring the adorable Winnie in this White Christmas digi stamp and Seasons Greetings sentiment from Polkadoodles, it’s the perfect way to kick off holiday crafting. This card combines glitter cardstock, acetate, and an easel fold to create a dimensional card that stands up beautifully. The clear front adds a magical floating effect, and the popped-up sentiment acts as a stopper for the easel. I colored the digi stamp with markers and added a sparkly die cut border for that snowy touch. If you like this project, don’t forget to follow me on Instagram - @my.cat.and.crafts and Facebook - My Cat and Crafts and of course, @polkadoodles for more creative ideas and inspiration!


Ana - For this week’s Digi Choosday challenge I made a second project, a festive mini album using Polkadoodles’ Pretty Poinsettia - and Christmas Printable Paper Patterns 2. It’s ring-bound, so it’s super easy to make and add pages to later! I started by trimming white cardstock and patterned papers, rounding the corners, and layering them back-to-back. For the front cover, I stenciled with Aleene’s Glitter Snow, sprayed with Salvage Patina Distress Oxide, added a strip of painted corrugated board, then layered on poinsettia ephemera, pearl sticks, and trims. The binding rings are finished off with ribbons and lace. This project is perfect for photos, journaling, or memory-keeping this holiday season! 🎁 better yet, add numbers and a few more pages for a December Daily! Instagram: @my.cat.and.crafts | Facebook: My Cat and Crafts

Nina - This sweet Christmas card features the adorable Gingerbread Holly from the digi stamp set Christmas Cutie – Gingerbread Holly. She’s wearing a red dress and a bow in red with white stripes – simply sugar-sweet! To match the theme, I used the coordinating digital paperGingerbread Holly’s Paper 2 – filled with lots of tiny gingerbreads, perfectly complementing the image. The “Merry Christmas” sentiment is from the Christmas Greetings set and adds the perfect finishing touch. I decorated the card with white die-cut flowers and small berry sprigs – a winter dream come true!



Kim S - For our challenge this week it's all about Christmas. I chose my girl of course, WINNIE from the White Christmas set. So many wonderful images to choose from in pre-coloured and black and white. I decided on a non traditional Christmas colour scheme of pink and red(which has become my favourite for christmas cards right now) I added in some extra ephemera and my paper selections come from Bella Bear-y Christmas set 2 and Jolly Santa set 2. I added the bow ephemera from Gingerbread Cookie set and the present from the Bella Bear Christmas set. Don't forget to enter this weeks challenge. There's a money prize to be won.



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

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



Ana - Hi everyone! For this week’s Digi Choosday challenge, I made an Autumn themed one. I created a Gratitude Journaling Folio using the adorable Autumn Fall Fox digi stamps from Polkadoodles - this folio has 3! I used the following Polkadoodles digis and pattern paper:
This folio was made from one sheet of 12x12 cardstock, scored and folded to create pages and pockets. I added layered patterned papers, trims, doilies, and sentiment stickers, and tucked journaling cards and sticky notes inside—perfect for jotting down little things you’re grateful for or saving small keepsakes. All images were colored with alcohol markers. See the step by step instructions here! Follow me on Instagram: @my.cat.and.crafts and on Facebook: My Cat and Crafts.

Wendy J - Hello everyone happy digi Choosday and happy September too! So Autumn is just around the corner and it will soon be time to celebrate Halloween so what better way than to create a little spooky witchy card.
For my card today I've used several nesting dies to create the look of a cobweb with swirling magic added by blending distress inks through the Funky Vortex stencil - it's one of my favourites! For the little Witch and her Kitty, on my computer I've merged two of the digital stamps from the Hocus Pocus Witches bundlebefore colouring with promarkers and fussy cutting out.
Just a few highlights and some spook confetti to finish off my magical hocus pocus card. I hope that you will join in with the challenge. Sending love and spooky hugs Wendy J.



KM - Hello! For this spooky season, I brewed up a magical poster starring the Ravella Witch digital stamp and a sentiment from the Halloween Trick or Treat printables. The background swirls like a bubbling cauldron, thanks to shimmering Lindy’s Gang magicals, while water-based markers brought Ravella to life. A little eerie, a little playful—this piece is pure Halloween charm!

Kerri - Hi everyone! This week I've been coloring more of the amazing Graduation bundle digis - I just love how versatile these are, this cutie just passed an important test! Make sure you check out the bundle, it's a must have for your stash, it's definitely not just for school/graduation...
