Leah - Hello everyone, it's Digi Choosday again so grab those bargain downloads! Today I'm sharing this card I created using the Sweet Moments collection, I love this dog with his bone phone!

Megan
 -
The ocean is a great love of mine, when I saw the Coast beach sea - Scene background for colouring I knew I wanted to use it for my project. From there I decided a rainy beach scene would be fun and Cute chick with umbrella and rubber boots would fit perfectly. The last image in the scene I colored was the lighthouse, and sadly there was an unfortunate incident with a red Copic marker. I was determined not to scrap the scene and start over and settled on covering it with glitter to give a nice shimmery rain effect. At this point in my life, I have decided glitter can fix everything. I love the font on the sentiment I used from the Winnie Daisy greetings quotes collection. I hope this card inspires you to roll with the oopsies.


Leah
 - Hello friends, I am back today to share another sweet, sweet stamp and die set from the new Sweet Moments Collection by Polkadoodles. This stamp set is called Hello it's Me and includes this cute bear and frame. I've paired this image with some paper and stamps from the Pretty Flowers CollectionThanks a Bunch stampHello Pretty stamp, and Pretty Colourful Paper...as well as some of the new chipboard embellishments from Sweet Moments Collection! Wow, that seems like a lot, lol, but it all came together perfectly!

Adam - Everyone's favorite drink "Dragon Fruit" (not coffee, silly) is the inspiration for this card made with these gorgeous Polkadoodles Crafts dies and papers. I made a multi-colored mug using the Love you a Latte dies and placed it onto a fun sheet of coordinating card stock from the Devine Hearts paper pack. I modified the sentiment by cutting off the bottom half and using only the "Love You".

Jane – I love these CUTE CHICKS from the SPRINGTIME SMILES COLLECTION and I drew round them with egg shaped dies to colour them with Copics using the ‘spotlight’ technique. The background is one of the fabulous SCENES that Nikky has in the shop and this one is called PARK.

Kerri - Sharing a card I made using the new stamp set called Do Small Things With Love along with matching outline dies which are called Do Small Things With Love. The embellishments were done with dies and the set is called All You Need Is Love Dies. I colored with Prisma Pencils.
Julie - This adorable wide eyed sheep brings fun to this interactive card as she actually jumps over the fence into this pretty little meadow. The images from Polkadoodles Sheepy Sheep collection were colored and perfectly paired with a sentiment from Spring Into Easter messages. Details to create this super fun card can be found on my blogInstagramFacebook

Merja - This time I wanted to do some stenciling. I started with white cardboard and added flowers with Wildflower Meadow stencil and paste I coloured with Distress Inks. I let it dry and then I added a few more layers of flowers with Distress Inks positioning the stencil differently each time. When I was happy with the flowers I coloured the background also with inks. Then I stamped the sentiment on tracing paper with Sentimentals stamp set and heat embossed it. I tore the tracing paper and taped it on the card. Lastly I added some Glossy Accents drops here and there.


Adam - Being a huge Taylor Swift fan, I immediately thought of using the Polkadoodles Crafts new Just My Type dies to create a card inspired by "The Tortured Poet's Department" as performed during the Eras tour. This typewriter die is very reminiscent of the one from the props during the concert. This card and the die should resonate with all the Swifties of the world.

Kerri - I've been busy coloring this cute puppy stamp this week. I added this lovely border from the Scallop frames dies, and a gorgeous paper from the Devine paper pack. You can get the stamps and dies here...see you next time!

Beautiful inspiration from the team - we hope you loved looking at our gallery of makes!

Adam - I Made a generic card using the Polkadoodles Crafts "Every Wish Stamp" and "Pretty & Pink Papers". This clean and simple card was basic stamping of the flower image and coloring it with alcohol markers. I added a few embellishments and layered it on a dark purple then onto the card base of Pretty & Pink floral paper.
Julie - This project was a little complex to show in a photo. For this reason I included a collage photo ( dropbox ) to capture the complexity of the notebook and how the Lavender Tea printables are showcased. Our design team challenge was Mother’s Day… not a card. Hmmm?! What could every mother use, handcrafted from paper using gorgeous digital images that would be heartfelt, beautiful and practical? Why a notebook of course!! Using the lovely Lavender Tea -This collection has so many papers, quotes, frames & tags (not to mention some really cool templates) that make it perfect for creating a Notebook.. and it’s easier than you think! Find all of the details for this project on my blog.

Wendy - Hello everyone I hope you are having a lovely week - it's time for some more inspiration for the Digi Choosday blog and this week we were asked to make something for Mother's Day but NOT a card...Hmm that got me thinking!I decided to create a little home decor piece as I know this is something that my Mum would have absolutely loved to hang up. I started with a small 5" wooden embroidery hoop, stretching cream fabric across this before coating with gesso to give a nice base to work on.
Next, I printed out the Pretty Flower Wreath digi deal once onto thin card and again onto vellum, die cutting out the card image and adhered this to the hoop using Mod Podge and then fussy cutting out the vellum flowers and butterflies adhering these with 3D glue gel. Finishing touches were some super sparkly crystals and purple twine to hang the finished piece. Love and crafty hugs.
Wendy xx
