Polkadoodles Winnie Fruit Punch

Hi there crafty friends.

It's time for another Polkadoodles Digi Choosday challenge and today's theme is shopping:

I made a stepper card with the ever so cute Winnie Fruit Punch 'Shoes & Shopping' download. After cutting out lots of elements I mounted them onto black card. I finished off my card with some black gems. I'm not sure if I have overdone it with today's card as it seems to have everything but the kitchen sink! A little too much do you think?!

Polkadoodles Shaker Graduation card

Hi there, 

it's time for another challenge at Polkadoodles Digi Choosday and we were asked to make a graduation card:

I decided that I wanted to make a photo shaker card with the graduate on the front throwing her hat in the air! So, I die cut the photo frame, mounted it with foam pads, and filled it with glitter, sequins, and tiny stars. I then used my scan and cut to cut out the Cute Girl pre coloured image and stuck it on the front of the photo frame, with the graduation day sentiment. The background paper is from Pretty Spring Papers, and I finished off my card with a corner punch and some star stickers.

Polkadoodles die cut flowers

Hello lovely crafty people!

For today's Polkadoodles Digi Choosday challenge we were asked to make a wraparound card and here's what I came up with:

I wanted to make my card look like a bunch of flowers wrapped in tissue paper so, I die cut lots of Pretty Starburst Flowers dies and Pretty Flower Flourish dies in various pink and white card. The white leaves are from the Christmas Cracker die set and the bow and hearts are from the Ribbon Tag Heart dies. My sentiment is from Spring Flower Mothers Day Friends greetings which was mounted onto a labels die.

When my hubby saw my card he said, "it's very pink" !! Make of that what you will!!

I hope that you like my PINK card and have a great week.

I printed and cut out several images so that I could layer them up with foam pads. The background papers come with the image so they co-ordinate perfectly.

House Mouse decoupage card

Hi there, I hope that it's sunny wherever you are 🌞!  I have made a House Mouse card today:

I printed the images from the House Mouse decoupage CD Rom and then cut them out on my scan and cut machine - I absolutely love this machine! It saves so much time fussy cutting and cuts out such tiny images that I couldn't do with my scissors ✂. I layered all the elements with foam pads and added some glitter. The sentiment is from Pink Petticoat (very sadly closed). To finish off I machine stitched around the edges and used a corner punch and heart stickers.

Polkadoodles Butterfly Flowerpots

Hello everyone! It's time for my Polkadoodles Digi Choosday design team card and here's what I made:

When I make cards for my mum she very often frames them so that gave me the idea for today's card. I decided to frame the beautiful Butterfly Flowerpots image using a wood effect paper from the Udderly Cute love digital papers and attached a piece of Acetate to represent the glass of the picture frame. The sentiment is from the Spring flower Mother's Day Friends Greetings set, and I finished off my card with some gems and a tiny sprinkling of glitter.

Polkadoodles - Gil Bunny Rabbit Growing Sunflowers

Hello there and happy Wednesday!

It's time for my design team card over at POLKADOODLES  DIGI CHOOSDAY CHALLENGE

For today's card I created a little scene using Polkadoodles - gil-bunny-rabbit-growing-sunflowers-precoloured-digi-stamp which I cut out using my scan and cut machine. Along with some sunflowers from Autumn-fall-bundle-of-colour-clipart-printables and added some glitter to the centres. The cloud background paper is from Pretty-spring-papers and the gingham paper is from Perfect-Peony , which I used to die cut a grass border. My greeting is from Christmas-everyday-sentiment. To finish off my card I used my sewing machine to stitch around the edges and added Glossy Accents to the watering can and brads in the corners.

Thanks for visiting and good luck if you enter the challenge at Digi Choosday!

Challenges:

CD Sunday challenge - A/G using cd rom or digi image

as you like it challenge -favourite-embellishment-and-why? - this is a tough one for me as I like to throw everything but the kitchen sink at my cards (and very often have to sit on my hands or walk away from my card!!) But if I had to chose I think it would be brads or gems to finish off the corners of my card - they also disguise my wonky stitching!!!
