Polkadoodles Back to School card

Hello there and welcome to another Digi Choosday challenge. Today's theme is back to school:

For my card I used the Cute Girl with stationary pens pencils pre coloured image and cut out several layers using my scan and cut machine. I also decoupaged a few things by printing the image a few times and fussy cutting them out to add dimension. The back to school sentiment is from the Graduation School Student ephemera download and I added my own script. My background papers are from the Udderly cute love and Bee Buzzy stripes. I added a strip of washi tape for the tape measure and some brads. Finally, I finished off my card by machine stitching around the edges.

This cute girl looks so excited to be going back to school - something I never was!! Sunday night Scaries was definitely a thing in my house growing up!

Hello crafty friends, it's time for Polkadoodles Digi Choosday challenge and the theme is Christmas:

Then I fussy cut and layered lots of elements with foam pads to add dimension. I added Glossy Accents and glitter pen to make it sparkle. The background paper is Christmas paper patterns 2 which I die cut with some stitched square dies. The sentiment is from Bella Bear Christmas greetings set.

Hi there crafty friends.

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.
