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

KIM - Cheers to all the amazing Dads out there! I'm stopping by today with my latest Design Team project and it's all about getting a head start on Father's Day card making! For this fun, masculine card, I used the absolutely adorable Celebration Party Gnome digital stamp from the Gnome Men collection. Isn't he just the cutest? I had so much fun bringing him to life with my Copic markers, making sure to add a little bit of sparkle to that big frothy beer mug. My paper selections come from this zodiac set, and this gnome set of papers and lastly some Winnie papers here. I layered our festive little friend over a stitched tag base and paired him with a vibrant mix of teal, green, and orange patterned papers. It's a great reminder that masculine cards can still be incredibly colourful, detailed, and full of fun layers.
Finishing Touches: Sparkly dimensional foam and a few coordinating gems(I added Stickles to the beer foam to make it sparkle)
Copic Markers Colour palette:
Skin: E0000, E000,E00,E21,E11,E4
Hair: C00,C0,C1,C2
Clothing: YR00,YR02,YR04,YR07

I’ve shared a full step-by-step Cricut tutorial over on my blog, so if you’d like to recreate this card (or learn some Design Space tips!), be sure to check it out.

Kara - Welcome to the cactus Garden!! our challenge was a fathers day card with bright colours so I could not resist creating this fun card using the Happy cacti digital stamps, they are my favourite. I coloured using ohuhus YG012, YG013, E49, E59 for the cactus and pots. Full instructions are over on my social media and I'd love it if you'd like to pop over and say hi!

Natalie - Hello Everyone! I love Gnomes and in Australia, like a lot of people we love our beer. Except me! So this card using this Dad Father Celebrate Relax Gnome digi for my Dad was a must! I used dies from my stash for the background and adhered them back together and sponged it with Twisted Citron. The gnome was coloured with Copics, including the Sentiment. The sentiment was a lot of fun to play around with. I also used this Helga Hippo digi.

Vicky - G’Day Crafty Friends, I have a bright & happy Father’s Day card to share with you today. This Retire & Snooze Gnome for Men digital stamp has been coloured with Copics & toned down a little with the digital paper from the Work & Play 10 Collection - Paper Heaven 2 Digital Craft Download Bundle and this great sentiment Gnome Men greetings, quotes and sentiments - printable clipart digital stamp. You may notice that the papers have been randomly chopped into 4 pieces, just to give the card more interest. The background was sponged with Ink for even more interest & then birds & grass added before fussy cutting my image & popping him up on Foam Tape onto the scene. Do you think he is enjoying a nice relaxing Father’s Day?

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

Zel - Hello crafters! To bring this Cute girl digi with spectacles to life, I hand colored her using Ohuhu markers before carefully cutting her out. For the background layer, I ran a beautiful teal cardstock through a geometric embossing folder to create a crisp, textured lattice pattern that adds tons of dimension. I used distress oxide to tone down the teal color a little bit. I attached an action wobble right behind the girl so she actually bounces and moves. To finish the card, I used my scan and cut machine to cut the Graduation school sentiment and ephemera and adhere it to my card.
My Social Media :

Eve - Hi there and welcome to another Digi Choosday challenge. For this week’s challenge were asked to make a Graduation card. I decided that I wanted to make a photo shaker card with the graduate on the front throwing her hat in the air! So, I die cut the photo frame, mounted it with foam pads, and filled it with glitter, sequins, and tiny stars. I then used my scan and cut to cut out the Cute Girl pre coloured image and stuck it on the front of the photo frame, with the graduation day sentiment. The background paper is from Pretty Spring Papers, and I finished off my card with a corner punch and some star stickers. I hope that you like my card – happy crafting!



Paula - Hi there! I made this sunshine bright graduation card today. The graduation cap is attached by using an Action Wobbler spring. When the card is removed from the envelope the spring allows the cap to pop up and wiggle as if it is floating in the air! Just a little fun to help this cute Cute girl Graduation Student digital stamp celebrate a big achievement. I also added the quotes from this set and the papers are from Noodle Panda -Set 3 printable digital paper patterns. I used Ohuhu markers - colors used: NG06, PB3, PB6, R2, R19, R20, Y2,Y3,YR4, YR5.
Hope you enjoy my project! I would love to see your version of 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!

Wendy - Hello everyone I hope that your week is going well so far with lots of lovely time to craft. Today the team was asked to create a project or card with the theme of Graduation, so I decided to create a colourful and bright card using the Graduation Student School collection. It's a jam packed collection of images, clip art, sentiments, word art and of course fantastic fun papers....perfect for lots of different celebrations. I created a simple 6 x 6 easel card, decorating this with fun and colourful papers from the collection along with yellow and burgundy card, creating a little rosette for the stopper of the easel.
Next I resized the Cute Boy image using Canva adding 3 piles of books for the boy to stand on and a couple of extra mortar board hats, printing this out and colouring with promarkers. I printed a couple of the sentiment strips from the collection on my laser printer and then applied gold foil to this to make it extra special.
To finish off my celebratory card I added white gelly roll pen highlights and gold confetti. I think he looks like he's on top of the world after all that hard work studying.
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. If you know a student that is graduating or leaving school this year it would be a wonderful idea to send them a special card of congratulations. My DL card features this sweet little miss called CUTE GIRL WITH GLASSES from the GRADUATION/SCHOOL collection that is just chock-a-block with amazing study related goodness. I took the fun apple paper into Word then added all my black and white images on top (using 2 sets of the books). I also added one of the coloured rosettes and wrote #1 on top. I coloured everything with my Copics and included a few paper-punched stars for a celebratory touch.

Kathie - Good morning and welcome to another challene. Graduation, this brings back a few memories of both of my sons Graduating and how proud we were of both of them. One Graduated in 2021 and the other in 2024. Today here at Digi Choosday we’re celebrating Graduation with a moving card. This was defiantly a brain drain for me as I don’t usually make moving cards. So I decided to make a Waterfall Card, only the second one for me ever. I’ve used this cute Polkadoodles image DLPD10008 Cute Boy Graduation this image comes black & white for you to colour. There is also a pre-coloured image which you can purchase separately. The design paper used was DLPD10004 Graduation School Student Paper Bundle. The sentiments used in the Waterfall was from DLPD 10002-P1-1 Graduation School Students Sentiments. The image was coloured with the following Copic Chio markers: E000, E00, E31, E33, E37, E43, E50, RV10, C1, C5, C7, B02, YR07, Black and a black & gold gel pen. Orange Ink for sponging. Brads, ribbon and gems from my stash. I look forward to commenting on whatever you make. Happy crafting everyone. You can find my complete instructions on my blog here.



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!

Nat - Hello Everyone, I made a circle card, something I haven't done for years!! I used the Party Time digital stamp. This image comes black and white and coloured so you can pick your level of craft. I coloured it with copics and teamed it up with a few things from my stash and the Helga Hippo Quotes and Sentiments. When making a shape card you need to remember to cut a little bit off the back of the card so it stands up! Hope you enjoy this weeks inspiration!

Nelly - The inspiration for this card came from my Granddaughter, she’s just turned 4 and graduates from nursery this year. So with her in mind, I chose to go cute. Using distress ink I stencilled the background in frayed burlap, and abc123-stencil I coloured up this image taken from the graduation bundle found here cute-girl-with-glasses-books--bag, other elements, pencils, sentiment, bunting and balloon was taken from the big bundle which you can find HERE you will find so much inspiration from this bundle.


Ana - For this week’s Digi Choosday, our challenge is to create a card that’s not a square or rectangle, so I made a beautiful butterfly-shaped card! I also created a Design Space file so you can easily recreate this design using your Cricut. I used the gorgeous Blooms 3 Flower Bundle, I’ve been meaning to play with this collection since I saw it (I just love the sunflowers and vibrant colors!). The design is simple but makes such a fun and unique card shape.

Kara - Today i have a super fun card to share with you using the desert cactus digi stamp and happy cactus papers. This is a 7x7 circle diorama rocker card using the prompt of not a square or rectangle card so I went with this quirky feminine card. The stamp is coloured using ohuhu markers YG012, YG013, E49, E59, R28,and Y615.
Full video tutorial is over on my YouTube Channel and written instructions on Facebook

Kim S - For this weeks Digi Choosday challenge project it was all about creating a card that wasn't a standard square or rectangular. What's a girl to do? I've done the circle cards and the oval shaped cards. So this week I decided on the beautiful arch shape, which i think adds such a lovely, soft touch to the design.
I featured Mabel today. Now even though she's technically a winter/christmas type digi this is what is so great about creating with digital images they can be anything you want them to be. I chose Mabel Christmas  and coloured her up in a trendy mauve and slate blue combo. I am especially happy with her strawberry blonde hair-what a pop of colour that is! It really complements the purple tones of the flowers.
I popped her up on top of the floral cake digi from the Party Time line that i also coloured in the mauve and slate blue combo.
I layered the coloured images onto of a decorative paper from Winnie Sunshine Delights Pack 2.  Speaking of Winnie. You do know Mabel is Winnie's BFF, right? All the more reason to go check out the rest of the Mabel collection, not to mention all the Winnie digis available.
Why i love this project so much? The arch shape just makes it stand out immediately on a display shelf. All the layered elements give it so much dimension. And lastly a great reminder that sometimes just changing the shape of your card base can give your digital stamps a whole new life.

Nina - Today it is DigiChoosday at Polkadoodles and I created a beautiful card in a shabby chic style.
Who knows this feeling? We all have lots of paper scraps lying around at home and often do not know what to do with them. For this card, I used a piece of brown corrugated cardstock and a leftover piece of white cardstock. I tore the white cardstock to the size I needed, inked the edges with brown ink and lightly distressed the surface to create the typical shabby chic look. Flowers always work beautifully with this style, so I grabbed some Printable Flowers and arranged them in different shapes and sizes on the card. This creates a soft and harmonious design filled with lovely details. As a special highlight, the sweet girl with her iced tea jumped onto the card. She fits the shabby chic theme perfectly and adds a charming focal point to the design. It is amazing how quickly you can turn a few leftover paper scraps into a beautiful and unique handmade card.
Products used:
Barista Coffee/Cake bundle kit
Coffee, Tea and Cake word art
Glass Half Full - January
I hope you like my card and that it inspires you to use your paper scraps creatively. Do you also keep all those little paper pieces because you think they might come in handy one day?
Make sure to stop by my Instagram and get inspired.

Vicky - G’Day Crafty Friends! For today’s card I’ve created an oval-shaped card to give it a unique & feminine feel, especially with the pretty pink stripe Printable Paper from the Bee Buzzy Stripes & Gingham Printable Paper Patterns set. Perfect for celebrating that special occasion. The paper gives it a sweet and timeless look. The fun digi stamp Flower Birthday celebration cake with candles
was printed onto Express-It Paper & coloured with Copics. I added a greeting from the Birthdays Sentiments & Greetings Digi. Warm pinks & soft florals coordinate perfectly with the paper. There’s just something elegant about stepping away from traditional square or rectangle cards & creating a design with softer, more delicate line. Have you tried creating a shaped card?
Copic colours:
Flowers – Y02, Y06, Y17, RV23, RV34, RV61
Leaves – YG63, YG67
Cake – R25, E29, E31
Icing – V93, V95

Enjoy your day!
