Let's see the inspiration from the team - we've been creating lots of gorgeous projects for you... 

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!

Judy: It's all about Boys/Men for the DT's inspiration projects this week!I created a card featuring Bob the Dog in a Boat. The image was printed and colored with Prismacolor Pencils. Strips of a patterned paper were handout to form waves and I die cut another patterned paper for clouds. The sentiment was printed from the Bob in a Boat Set and die cut.

Wendy - I have an adorable card to share with you today using the latest digi release Birthday Celebration bundle. I used the adorable Party Time Bunny and one of the flowers for this sweet card. What I love about digital stamps is it's so easy to resize and manipulate all of these elements to fit perfectly on my card. I resized and rotated the flowers to create a beautiful border around the bunny. It was really fun to design this way.


Carrianne - Hello friends! Today, I’m sharing a clean and simple card that features the beautiful Alcea Hollyhock Flowers, which I thought would make the perfect choice for a Mother’s Day card. I paired it with a lovely sentiment from the Spring Flower Mother’s Day Friends Greetings set—this set is packed with so many wonderful sentiments, making it perfect for all your floral card creations! I began by resizing and printing the image to suit my design, then colored it with Copic Markers and fussy cut it out. For the background, I used a diagonal stripe window die, which I adhered to a white A2 card base for a bit of texture. I added the image on foam tape to give it some dimension and make it pop. The sentiment was printed, trimmed, and also adhered with foam tape to give it a little lift, tying everything together beautifully.
Copics used:
V12-V15-V17
Y13-Y15-Y18
YG61-YG63-YG67


Renske - Hi everyone! For this card, I created a fun slider design with a football shooting towards the goal. I started with the Soccer Football Gnome for Men digital stamp. I coloured it with alcohol markers and added highlights with a white gel pen. The background was made using distress inks for the grass and sky, along with a cloud stencil for a soft, textured effect. I made the footballs from the Gnome Men Soccer Football Printable Pattern Paper and finished it with a sentiment from the Gnome Men Greetings, Quotes, Sentiments set. Hope you like it!

Julie - I created a card using this sweet trio of printable bunnies - find out more on my social here
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!

Let's see the inspiration from the team - we've been creating lots of gorgeous projects for you... 

Renske - Hi everyone! I'm excited to share my latest Mother's Day card creation featuring the adorable Bunny Rabbit with bunch of flowers digital stamp from Polkadoodles. Using my alcohol markers, I coloured this sweet image with a palette of purple, pink, yellow, and white tone. The background showcases a dreamy blend of Picked Raspberry distress ink with floating hearts, while layered grass details add depth to the scene. The sentiment "picked just for you" from the Spring Flower Mother Day friends greetingsset perfectly complements the bunny proudly displaying its bouquet. Happy Crafting! My Instagram: @renske.wishes.you Facebook: Renske.wishes.you


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 blog. Instagram, Facebook

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.


Nunzia: When I think about Spring, the first animal that comes in my mind is the rabbit, so cute and furry. For this reason I made this interactive card, with these 3 little bunnies closing the card that when opened magically shows a sweet message. Papers and message are included in the same bundle.


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 Collection: Thanks a Bunch stamp, Hello 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!

Let's see the inspiration from the team - we've been creating lots of gorgeous projects for you... 

Leah - Hello my friends! I am sharing a card today that I created using the Thinking Rebel digital image from Polkadoodles. I coloured this image using my Prismacolor Premiere Pencils and layered it on some digital paper from the Winnie Special Moments Paper Heaven 4 collection. I created the sentiment with my Cricut Joy. I love how bright the colours on her turned out!
Judy: My inspiration card this week is Spring themed. I used Butterfly Flowerpots as the focal which was colored with Prismacolor Pencils and fussy cut. My background is comprised of white card stock on which the sentiment from Spring Flower Mothers Day Friends Greetings Sentiments Printable was printed. The bottom of the card is a patterned paper from Winnie Daisy Fairy Printable Paper Patterns 4. I added 3 gems to complete my card design.
Enrica - Hi everyone! Spring is almost around the corner and it’s time to think about taking care of the garden. For my card I used the amazing digital image and patterned papers from the Cute Gnome feeding bird and mouse value bundle colored with Ohuhu markers. I love this gnome, he is simply delightful taking care of his little friends as he prepares to plant seeds in his garden! Happy crafting! xx

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

Christin - For upcoming Mother's Day I made some different paper rosettes. They are versatile, you can use them as plugs, pendants or embellishments for gifts or cards or something like that. For decorating them I used the beautiful pre-colored Darling Buds, the Daffodil, the Hyacinth and the Primrose flower girl . I made the rosette for each girl from cardstock in a matching colour. Finally I used some sentiments from the Tons of Love greetings collection.

Kerri - Hello today I am sharing a bookmark I made using the digital stamp called Flower Fairy Sitting On A Toadstool. Image was printed onto card stock colored with Faber Castell Polychromo Pencils. I also used the Physical Stamp sets called Special Times and To Gnome You Is To Love You. I stamped the background trimmed the image and put all of it together.

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.
