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.

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.

Cute autumn hedgehog pumpkin card - made by Rachael - Hi everyone, Welcome back to another Digi Choosday challenge! This week I’ve been creating with the brand new Hello Autumn digital collection and I absolutely love these cute little characters. For my card I chose this adorable Cute Bear and Mouse Pumpkin Car image (available in black and white or precoloured), printed it out and fussy cut it ready to add to my card.I used the Scallop Rectangles die set to cut the larger panel from cream card, then used a smaller die to cut some watercolour cardstock. For the background I smooshed orange and yellow inks with a little water onto the cardstock, then added some green leaves cut using the Winter Botanical Bits dies. I finished everything off with a sentiment from the Hello Autumn collection, adding a little piece of washi tape and some foam pads for extra dimension before layering it all onto a cream card base.

Cute Halloween card with ghosts - made by Kim - Hi there! I’m back with my latest project for the Polkadoodles Design Team for the new Digi Choosday Challenge. This week’s challenge is a fun one Halloween!. So make sure to play along and upload some of you creative makes this week. We'd love to see what you've been creating.
For my project this week I decided to dive into the absolutely adorable Creepy Creatures collection and picked the ghost from the Cute and Creepy collection
I added a bit of clear glitter glue to the bottom of the ghosts’ sheets to give them a spooky sparkle, and on the centres of the swirling lollipops for some extra fun.
For the background and layering, I used coordinating papers from Creepy Creatures Creepy Fall Halloween pack 1a and papers1b. The scene with the spooky castle and bats is just perfect for framing our ghoulish friends! I layered everything up using different weights of purple and lilac card stock to give the card a lot of dimension and pop.
I also added extra digis such as the candies, the Boo sign and the witches hat from the Autumn Fall Halloween treat bundle
Don't forget to enter this weeks challenge. Have a happy, creative crafty week!

Cute Halloween witch card - made by Ana - Halloween crafting is always so much fun, and for this week’s Digi Choosday challenge I created a cute witch-themed card featuring Winnie Wednesday Witch and Cat. Instead of using patterned paper, I created a Halloween-y background with Distress Oxides and a stencil, making this a fun technique you can use for any theme.
I paired the image with the Halloween Trick or Treat Printable Sentiments, coloring the digi with Ohuhu Alcohol Markers and adding a little sparkle with glitter markers just for extra sparkle.

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

Wendy - Hello everyone, I hope that you are all having a lovely week and enjoying the weather where you live. Our theme this week from Nikky was to create a project with a Magical Fantasy theme
I am a card making addict, but I have so many cards..... I have more cards than I will ever use in my lifetime LOL so lately I've been looking at what else I can do to create and get my paper crafting fix. I decided to make myself a little 5" x 7" card inspiration book using planner discs and a planner punch I treated myself to.  I thought this week would be the perfect time to start off and create the cover for my new book so I decided to reach for the Serenity Fairy collection...oh my goodness its a beautiful collection and definitely a new one for me.
For my front and back book covers I cut 2 pieces of sturdy card, I like to recycle as much as I can so I used cereal box card, if your card is a little flimsy then simply glue 2 pieces together back to back to form each cover. To make the edges strong I adhered masking tape along each side, folding it over each edge and then trimming off the surplus where needed.
I chose a few pretty papers from the Serenity Fairy collection to decorate my book covers, adhering these to the front and back panels, over the masking tape. The reverse of each cover was covered with one of the floral papers from the Octavia Moonfly collection and then I used the planner punch to create the holes for my planner discs.
I chose the Serenity Fairy Princess digital image and a couple of sentiments from the collection, printing these out onto alcohol marker friendly card before colouring with my Promarkers and fussy cutting out. To create my front cover I started by adding pink distress ink around the edges and then used one of the new stencils to add little floral details here and there with cream acrylic paint. Once dry I adhered pieces of the patterned papers and purple card creating lots of details and layers, cutting one of them into a tag shape and adding some grosgrain ribbon at the top with a simple staple. My coloured Serenity Fairy Princess was added to the panel with foam tape and then lots of sparkly pen and sequins - you can definitely never have too much sparkle where magic is concerned LOL. Im really pleased with the front cover and cant wait to start filling my little book with pages of inspiration.
I hope you like my project 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/

Eve - Hi there, welcome to another Polkadoodles Digi Choosday challenge. Today's theme is Unicorns so here is what I made: For today's card I used the ever so cute Sparkle Unicorn Gift of Love pre-coloured image and cut it out with a stitched rectangle die. The sentiment if from Birthday Celebration Party sentiments and the papers are from Love Birds Valentine. I finished off my card by stitching around the edges and adding corner punches, stars, gems and a rainbow embellishment. I hope you like my card and good luck entering the challenge.


Paula – The design team was prompted to use a fantasy theme and I really wanted a mermaid so I am using this one from the Coral collection. I always think of bright colors and a lot of sparkle with mermaids and I love it all! I made an easel card using a mermaid digital design with matching printable papers and sentiments to make a birthday card any mermaid lover will adore. I added texture and sparkle with a chunky embossing powder and sequins in various colors.
I used Ohuhu markers - colors used: B21, B27, B28, E66, E612, G012, G210, R013, R16, RV08, RV35, RV111, RV314, Y14, Y27, YR00, YR06, YR33, YR34

Jane -Hello everyone. This pretty little Winnie fairy is from the gorgeous `FAIRY WINNIE DAISY collection and is called BUNNY RABBIT FRIEND. I have paired her with some of the paper from the WINNIE DAISY PAPER PATTERNS 1 bundle and a sentiment from the GREETINGS SET. I coloured her with pencils and added lots of white die-cuts for a monochrome look.

Kathie - Good morning and welcome to all my crafty friends and welcome to another Digi Choosday. This fortnight our design team’s theme is Magical Fantasy. Well Magical Fantasy, I love making feminine cards, I don’t know why as I’m surrounded by men in my household. But Magical Fantasy. So I had to get my inspiration from somewhere and the best person was my great niece, she loves Unicorns & Horses. Perfect she’s 4.5 years old and tells me that Unicorn aren’t real Auntie Kathie. I knew I had to use this very cute image from Polkadoodles it is Camera Shy 1 -Sparkle Unicorn, Sparkle is so cute. This image comes black & white for you to colour, and it’s also available pre coloured to purchase. She loves most colours but Teal and Mauve are her very favourite colours she tells me. The image was coloured with the following Copic Chio markers: C0, C1, C2, C3, YG03, Y08, Y17, BV000, BV00, BV02, BV04, RV02, RV04, RV10, R85, BG000, BG01, BG10. I finished the card with the Icy Winter papers set 1 from the Theo Penguin collection and these Wanda Papers.
I was so happy how Sparkles turned out and I hope my niece likes her card. I look forward to visiting your blogs soon. Happy crafting everyone. You can find my complete instructions on my blog here.

Ana - Hi crafty friends! This week’s Digi Choosday Design Team prompt is Magical Fantasy, and I made a pretty project using Winnie Mermaid Mermazing - Best Friends digi stamp. Growing up, Ariel was always one of my favorite Disney princesses, so a mermaid-inspired card was a must for this week’s challenge. 
For this project, I created a mixed media shaker card using papers and sentiments from the Coral Mermaid collection, then added beautiful floral die cuts from the Winnie Sugar Sprinkles Embellies Bundle. I colored the mermaids with Ohuhu Alcohol Markers and finished off with shaker bits and clear glass cabochons to make it more special. I finished with a greeting from the Coral Mermaid Sentiment Pack.
If you’d like to recreate this magical fantasy shaker card, head over to My Cat and Crafts for the full step-by-step tutorial, complete materials list, and detailed instructions.
