A cute Christmas Card using a Santa digital stamp hand coloured by Natalie...


Hi All, I'm trying to get ahead of Christmas cardmaking. I like to make all different cards, purely self centred :) This is the Santa Merry Christmas Banner Digi Image and I have teamed it up with the Set 2 Christmas Papers from Bella Bear Collection. It isn't really a stand upright card but it is held closed with the little stripy triangle as a tuck spot which I thought was fun. The image is coloured with Copics with lots of added bling with stickles. Here's a video of how I made this...

A Pretty, clean and simple interactive Christmas card made by 
Vicky...

G’Day Crafty Friends, I’ve created a fun, yet festive card with non-traditional Christmas colours. The pre-coloured Pretty Poinsettia Flower Holly Digital Stamp has been fussy cut prior to adhering to the card front with Foam Tape. The Sentiment is from the same download - Don’t you love it when the sentiment and image are paired for you?

The paper is from the Theo Penguin Paper Bundle 3 which I think suits the card perfectly. The interactive latch adds a playful touch, allowing the card to open and close!

Autumn/Fall card with a cute Fox - made by Ana....

Ana - Hello, crafty friends! Today I’m sharing a fun Halloween-inspired card featuring Cute Fox Witch Pumpkin Halloween Digi Stamp from the brand-new Hello Autumn Collection! I paired this sweet image with the coordinating printable paper patterns and embellishments from the collection to create a pretty card full of autumn charm. The Sentiments are also the same collection too!

Cute Autumn card with a Fox pulling a cart by Rachael...

Hello everyone! I love colouring but sometimes theres just not enough time to sit for a few hours so I've had a blast using the coloured clipart images from the new Hello Autumn digi release this month. I printed the coloured image called Autumn Rides and cut it into a rectangle, then matted and layered it with blue/grey cardstock. For my card base, I created a Z-fold card and added some pretty lilac and blue background papers from the collection. One of the papers (from my stash) has some lovely silver foiling, which adds a little extra interest and shine. I also die cut some stitched flowers and added these to the background for a little more detail. To finish my card, I printed and cut a sentiment from the collection and added it to the bottom right-hand corner.


A pretty wintery snowflake gatefold card with a wrapper, made by Kim...

Hello! For our challenge project it was all about cards with closures, so I chose to do a square 6" x 6" square gatefold card with a belly band closure. I created my glittered snowflake focal point that i attached to the belly band. For this i used the new Sparkling Snowflake die set that's part of the stunning Sparkling Christmas release Polkadoodles just dropped recently. Be sure you check everything out. So much eye candy you'll wanna play with. I added a piece of soft muted decorative paper from Theo Penguin Icy Winter papers pack 1. This soft slate blue and purple paper just blends in behind the sparkly glittered snowflake and vellum accent band perfectly.  Have a crafty week!

Kathie - Good morning and welcome to all my crafty friends and welcome to another Digi Choosday. This fortnight our design team’s theme is Friendship. What does friendship mean to you? To me it means, lifelong bonds across many years & countries, choice, trust, sharing, support helping each other in good times and bad. Just being there for each other. Special friends. We had free range with the colour palette. I’ve made a feminine card using this image and design papers from Polkadoodles. This lovely Polkadoodles image comes from the 
Bee Buzzy Flower Set. Because they are PNG images I added two items together to get the desired look I was wanting. These images are so versatile. It’s a brilliant set as it has 7 different black & white images to colour. The design paper used was Love Birds Valentines Paper 3. I just love working with plaid design papers, polka dots, ginghams and stripes they are so under rated. This image was coloured with the following Copic Chio markers: C1, RV13, RV14, RV10, YG00, YG03, YG63, Y15 and Y28. I do hope you like this design and make. Wishing you all a wonderful week, happy crafting and I look forward to commenting on your creations. You can find my complete instructions here on my blog.

Pretty flower friendship handmade card using printable digital stamps

Ana - Hello, crafty friends! This week’s Digi Choosday Design Team theme is Friendship, and I couldn’t resist creating a pair of colorful shaker gift tags for two of my closest friends in Manila. I’m sending them coloring books from Saudi so I thought nice tags would make the gifts special. Since they’re fellow crafters, I wanted to make their gift tags just as special.
For these tags, I used Honeypie Best Friend Hugs together, the Winnie Celebrations 1 - From All of Us digi stamp and lastly, added sweet sentiments from the Spring Sentiments collection. After coloring the images with my Ohuhu Alcohol Markers, I created shaker pouches using my Fuse Tool, added sparkly shaker bits, and finished everything with ink-blended backgrounds, ribbon, and personalized beaded charms.
These cheerful tags are such a fun way to add an extra handmade touch to any gift, especially when it’s for someone special!
If you’d like to recreate these shaker tags, you’ll find the full step-by-step tutorial, complete materials list, and more photos over on my blog here - https://mycatandcrafts.blogspot.com/2026/09/polkadoodles-digi-choosday-project.html

Cute handmade tags friendship handmade card using printable digital stamps

Eve - Hello crafty friends, it's time for another Digi Choosday challenge and today's theme is Friendship. I used the very cute Rascal Racoon & Rusty Fox pre coloured image and added the sentiment from Winnie Daisy Greetings. I felt there was a lot of love between these two cuties, so I added 3 small, punched hearts! Next, I cut the image out and layered it with grey card using some stitched square dies. My background papers are from Fluffy Friends pretty papers set 1. I finished off my card by adding a piece of ribbon, stitching around the edges, and adding corner punches and gems.
I hope you like my card and good luck entering the challenge.

Paula – I made an adorable friendship pop-up card suitable to send to the good friend you really miss. Life gets busy, let them know you’d like to catch up. The girls are colored with Ohuhu alcohol markers. I used the patterned paper designs as my color palette inspiration. The inside message pops-up and is sure to cause a smile on your friend’s face when she opens it. I used this super cute Winnie image and these Greetings and Quotes. 
I used Ohuhu markers - colors used: E05, WG10, Y42, Y45, Y49, Y412, Y415, YG36, YR00, YR03, YR04, YR06, YR34, YR39, YR43, YR55

Cute friendship handmade card using printable digital stamps
Jane - Hello everyone. Today the team are celebrating friendship, and my card uses elements from the newest Polkadoodles digital collection FLUFFY FRIENDS. There are so many gorgeous pre-coloured images in this set that I decided to use one of those which really does save on time if you’re in a hurry - Monty bear & Rusty Fox. Using my favourite PERFECT STAMPING & PRINTING PAPER, I printed the coloured image and sentiment straight onto one of the pretty backing papers and added a shadow to everything to give some depth then grounded the image with a little grey pencil. Once I had printed and die cut my design, I decided that the bottom right corner could do with a little extra something, so I used one of the smaller dies in the BOTANICAL FOLIAGE set to create a little tree full of paper punched hearts.

Wendy - Hello everyone it's the beginning of September and after a long and very hot Summer I'm definitely ready for the cooler days and nights of September, maybe even a little rain too. This week our theme is Friendship so I have decided to make a card to send to my best friend in the UK whom I miss seeing.
I have used the adorable 
Udderly Cute Collection - Gift and Balloons Digital stamp for my 5" x 7" double Z-fold card choosing a couple of papers from Udderly Cute Collection - Paper - Pack 3Udderly Cute Collection - Paper - Pack 5, the  to mat and layer onto the kraft card base with some chocolate brown card - I love the contrast of the pretty papers and the darker card.
I chose to use the Gift and Balloons digital stamp, adding one of the sentiments from the 
Udderly Cute Collection - sentiment bundle over the top of the image before printing out and colouring with my promarkers to coordinate with the papers.
To finish off the card I added a few pieces of the pre-coloured ephemera, little brown hearts and some tiny pink gems.
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.
