 So let's see what the Design Team have been making this week...

Kerri- Hi everyone! This week I've been making with the gorgeous new Mabel collection - omg she's a must have! I love how Nikky always tries to include images that can be used for other Winter occasions like birthdays etc as well in all the Christmas collections...it really makes them so much more versatile. Check Mabel out - she's on offer right now so don't miss her!

Wendy - Hello everyone wishing you all a wonderful week ahead, not long to wait now for Santa!
My card today is for a December birthday and I've used the very cute Theo Penguin Collection - I just love this collection and its perfect for loads of different occasions - definitely not just for Christmas.
This is Theo Just for You, coloured with Promarkers and fussy cut out. I added some subtle red stencilling in the background and a strip of paper from the Classic Winter Paper set. The special December birthday sentiment is from the sentiment bundle too. This is my final project for this year as the team is having a well earned break for a few weeks but wishing you all a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year xxx

Ana - Hi everyone! Here’s another fun fold card for Digi Choosday! I’ve been loving fun folds lately. I find that they’re not just cute but so satisfying to make! For this week’s DT theme, Sparkle and Shine, I created a Double Arrowhead Fun Fold Card featuring the elegant Winnie Celebrations – Champagne Celebration digi. I added touches of glitter markers and mirror cardstock to make it shimmer, because sparkle makes everything better and fancier! The papers I used are from Winnie Daisy Fairy and Wanda - Plain Janes collections while the sentiments I used are from Winnie Celebrations 2. That’s how easy it is to mix and match Polkadoodles' products. Follow me on IG: @my.cat.and.crafts and FB: My Cat and Crafts for more fun fold ideas and crafty inspiration!




Kathie - Greetings to all and best wishes for a pleasant Digi Choosday. I know several friends whose birthdays fall on Christmas Day and New Year's Day. Dates that are truly unique given there are 365 days in the year. To mark one of these occasions, I selected an older image from my collection titled Watercolour Flower Stem digi which is available over at Polkadoodles. This elegant flower is fitting for a range of celebrations, including birthdays, anniversaries, and Mother’s Day or even a Sympathy card. The kit contains both pre-coloured, black and white images, along with beautifully designed design papers and sentiments. For this project, I used a black and white image, resized it, and grouped it into three, a process made so easy by the versatility of PNG files. I coloured the image with the following Copic markers: C01, BV000, BV00, BV02, YG00, YG03, YG63, V000, E33, Y17, and finished with a black gel pen. The design paper also originated from this kit. There are so many different creations that could be designed with this one kit and none of them would be the same.

Natalia - Hello, everyone! Welcome back to the Polkadoodles blog. I'm excited to share a beautiful new Christmas card project that truly shines! This design focuses on creating a beautiful, luxurious feel using a blend of highly detailed stenciling, metallic accents, and traditional festive imagery.
The foundation of this card is truly rich. Using the intricate Baroque Stencil, I created a deeply textured pattern on the background. This highly detailed design, paired with a generous application of the magnificent Gold Stencil Butter, transforms the card base into a shimmering, golden surface. The rich, raised metallic finish provides an incredibly warm and elegant backdrop, setting the stage for the holiday features. To complement the detailed background, the center features a bold, layered floral display. The beautiful multi-layered flower is made using the Dotty Poinsettia Die. I used vibrant reds and pinks for a bold holiday feel, which stands out perfectly against the classic gold background. Framing the flower is a striking arrangement of leaves created with the Holly Berry Die. I opted for a beautiful icy teal/mint shade for the leaves. This cooler colour provides a wonderful contrast to the warmth of the red and gold, making the entire composition feel sophisticated and balanced. The simple, high-contrast "FROM THIS HOUSE TO YOURS" sentiment perfectly completes this elegant and festive design.If you want to see the full creative process for this project, you can find the detailed video tutorial on the official Polkadoodles YouTube channel as well as on my personal channel, NataliaKuzakArt!

Thanks so much to the team for their GORGEOUS inspiration this week!

 So let's see what the Design Team have been making this week...

Ana - For this week’s Digi Choosday DT challenge, our prompt was to make a gift that holds chocolate, and I created this diagonal lid gift box — perfect for sweets and treats, a box but with a unique lid opening! I used Polkadoodles’ Icy Winter Papers Set 2 – Theo Penguin for the base and decorated it with the adorable Beary Christmas Topper Sheet. To make it extra festive and sparkly, I added a glittered poinsettia embellishment! It’s such a fun and elegant way to level up your gift giving this season!

KIM S - Happy Digi Choosday everyone, Christmas creating mode is in full swing. Have you finished all your Christmas crafts? My personal cards are usually the last to get done sadly. And always late. 😂
For my design team project this week I created a bag/purse/satchel to hold lots of yummy Christmas treats. I haven't used my favourite girl for awhile so I chose Winnie from the White Christmas line called Fairy Gifts. I also added a tag using one of the pre-coloured Winnie White Christmas images called Snowballs and Snowmen which comes in handy for quick little projects if you don't want to colour. I added a piece of decorative paper to the front of my bag to add a bit of interest and break up all the red from the Jolly Santa line from paper pack download 1.I added some extra little details like white faux stitching along the trims on the bag using my white gel pen. And finally some die cut greenery and red and pink mulberry flowers to finish my project off. Lastly some gold glimmer mist to make everything sparkle.

Nina - I just love giving little treats at Christmas – and what could be better than chocolate in a cute, handmade package? This year, I’m accompanied by the enchanting gingerbread girl from the digital stamp set Gingerbread Cookie. With her red dress, big bow in her hair, candy cane, and colorful lollipop, she simply radiates pure Christmas joy! To match, I used the digital paper with candy canes and colorful sprinkles from the same set – everything perfectly coordinated. Inside, there’s a little chocolate bar, lovingly wrapped with a belly band and decorated with the sweet gingerbread boy – and on the lid it says: Gingerbread Kisses while inside, a Sweet Christmas Wish is waiting for you.
 

Kaye - They say you can make life sweeter by giving chocolates, But I'd like to think making your own packaging would make it sweetest. For this weeks' challenge, I used Bella Bear Hot Chocolate -Too Cute Digital Stamp to vamp up a milk carton box inspired chocolate box. You can just feel the sweetness exude from the box down to it's contents. Enjoy! Instagram - @kayeskraftivitee_

Ana - Hi everyone! For this week’s Polkadoodles Digi Choosday challenge, our DT prompt was “Make a Gift that Holds Chocolate.” And I like it so much that I made 2 different projects.For my second project, I created a standing gift box easel for holding a hot chocolate packet and candy cane, or even mini notebooks and notepads! I used the Icy Winter Papers Set 2 – Theo Penguin and the Beary Christmas Topper Sheet to decorate this cute and functional little gift. Handmade packaging like this makes gift-giving even sweeter and more special this holiday season! You can also find me at Instagram: @my.cat.and.crafts | Facebook: My Cat and Crafts

 So let's see what the Design Team have been making this week...


Wendy J - Hi everyone! Today I'm using this cute digi collection called Theo Penguin - make sure you check it out these are just the cutest and definitely not just christmas images, penguins can be used all year round!

Jane Hi everyone. Here is PICKLES HEDGEHOG JUMPER being the sweet angel on top of the Christmas tree. I used the PERFECT PARCELS dies at the bottom too and the HEAVENLY CIRCLES STENCIL in the background

Ana - Hi crafty friends! This week’s Digi Choosday theme is December Birthday! December babies share their special day with all the holiday cheer, so I wanted to make something extra fun and festive for them, much more than our ordinary card.I created a Double Column Fun Fold card using Winnie Celebrations – Baked You A Cake and Winnie Celebrations 2 – Papers 2 from Polkadoodles. I went with a pink and green color combo - still giving that Christmas vibe, but with a sweet twistThis fun fold design stands up beautifully for display and folds flat for mailing, a perfect way to make any December birthday feel special! Follow me for more inspiration: IG: @my.cat.and.crafts | FB: My Cat and Crafts

Kathie - Welcome to Digi Choosday everyone, this week the design team have created Sparkle & Shine creations, a perfect theme for the festive cheer and inspiration for the holiday season. I’ve created a Christmas Bauble card that stars this adorable Noel Christmas Mouse PD8216, one of the very first Polkadoodles images I ever purchased. The image is of a charming Christmas Mouse riding on top of a sparkling Christmas bauble, perfectly capturing the festive spirit. The Christmas Mouse was coloured using Copic markers in the following shades: C0, C01, C02, C03, C05, RV10, YG03, YG63, G82, and BV13. For additional details, I used gel pens in red, white, black, and silver, adding definition and highlights to the image. To enhance the festive feel, the bauble was coated in glue and sprinkled with glitter that matches the pink glitter card base and a little bit of white for his hat and pompom. His hat and coat were coated in Glossy Accents. For extra sparkle, I incorporated holographic card, a variety of gems, and silver cord to complete the design. These elements work together to make the card truly shine with this cute image.

Ana - Hello crafty friends! I’m back with not one, but two coordinating projects for this week’s Digi Choosday, where our DT theme is December Birthday! Since December babies celebrate during the Christmas season and often end up with just one gift for both occasions, I thought they deserve something extra special. So, I created a Zig Zag Fun Fold Card paired with a matching Gift Pouch for tucking in sweets, treats, or a small surprise! I used the adorable Winnie Celebrations – Surprise! digi, Winnie Celebrations 2 Sentiments, and Winnie Celebrations 2 papers to make everything bright, cute and cheerful. You can check out both tutorials on my blog for Zig Zag Fun Fold Card and Matching Gift Pouch. Follow me for more crafty inspiration: IG: @my.cat.and.crafts | FB: My Cat and Crafts
