Digi Choosday Challenge with Polkadoodles

Hello my crafty friends!!  

It's Tuesday and it's time for a new ANYTHING GOES challenge over on the DIGI CHOOSDAY BLOG!  It's also time for a new DISCOUNT  for the POLKADOODLES SHOP to get awesome deal.  Head on over to the blog and grab the discount code!

For today's challenge project, the task was to make something using at least 3 tags and a hero image.  I love the new Winnie Sunshine Delights digital paper pack so I used those papers as a starter for my card. I used two of the papers for tags and the base of the card.  Next I added the sentiment and nurse image from Winnie Heroes - Printable Digital Download Bundle.  Great card to send to one of my nurse friends!!

Digi Chooseday Challenge!

Hello my crafty friends!!  

It's Tuesday and it's time for a new ANYTHING GOES challenge over on the DIGI CHOOSDAY BLOG!  It's also time for a new DISCOUNT  for the POLKADOODLES SHOP to get awesome deal.  Head on over to the blog and grab the discount code!

For today's challenge project, the task was to make an Easel card with a difference and use an image featuring dinosaurs.  I started out with this fun fold Easel card base, it's more of a twist on the traditional Easel card.  I downloaded the file:  Dragon Onesie Little Dude - Little Dudes which I used the pattern papers from this set.  (will use this little dude later as he's too  cute!) After I printed off 2 of the papers, I used circle die cuts with them.  Next, I printed off Sticks & Bones - Design Sheet 1 and cut the images I wanted out. I matted the dinosaur and little guy with the cut out circles and attached to the easel card flap.  I used the paper from this design sheet for the bottom of the card and pop dotted the sentiment oval to anchor the easel card flap.  I also embellished the bottom with pieces from design sheet and the top circle with leaf die cuts. These cards are so fun to make and easy to mail because they fold flat!! 


I hope you liked my card for today and will join us with this challenge over at the DIGI CHOOSDAY BLOG!

Have a great day!!

Lil Patch of Crafty Friends Challenge ~ #131

Lil Patch of Crafty Friends Challenges are Anything Goes.  This month's sponsor is:

** Exclusive Sponsor **
Prize ~ 3 Images

I used the image Rainy Day Girl with Umbrella by Lemon Shortbread.  I printed out image and then used a rectangle die cut to cut out the scene.  I printed out another copy of this image and used my silhouette to cut around just the girl so I could pop her up on scene.  I used distress oxide inks for background and copics to color girl.  Super fun to try different techniques!!

Desk Calendars

I found some notepads with matching pens in my project stash so decided to make some desk calendar notepad holders.  I matched papers to the design/theme of the notepads and pens. Three of them have 2020/2021 calendars and the other three just have 2021.  I wanted to use up the 2020 calendars I had left as the year is almost half over!  Love how they turned out!!  Interested in buying one???  Check out my Etsy Store.
