So let's see what the team have made to inspire us this week!

Ana - Hi Crafty friends! The new Fluffy Friends collection from Polkadoodles is finally here, and of course, I couldn’t wait to create with Peaches Cat! As a cat lover, this adorable character immediately stole my heart - because, well… cat! For today’s card, I paired Peaches Cat & Nibbles Mouse with layers of patterned papers and tag elements to create a fun dimensional design. One of my favorite things about this layout is how it turns patterned papers into embellishments, making it easy to add texture and interest without needing lots of extra supplies. The sweet Peaches Cat image is the perfect focal point and works beautifully with a variety of paper collections and embellishments - both from the Fluffy Friends collection and some from your personal stash. Be sure to check out the new Fluffy Friends release from Polkadoodles and discover all the adorable furry friends waiting to be crafted with!

Nelly - I really enjoyed making this card, it’s called a double flap card and it was perfect for the stamps I had in mind for this using this perfect stamp set Beers and Cheers from Polkadoodles which you can find HERE and it’s in the sale!! I coloured them up with watercolour pens. The design papers are called not so Plain Kraft and you can find them by clicking HERE. The scribble heart die can be found HERE and I used the star circle die on the design papers, HERE.


Enrica - Hi everyone! Let's celebrate Father's Day with a simple card made by coloring with Copic the busy Gardening Gnome together with some cute images from the same bundle.
Under the flap is hidden the greetings message. You can find all the printable images, sentiments and patterned papers at https://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/gardening-gnome-for-men-bundle-of-printable-clipart-digital-stamp-digistamp-for-cards-cardmaking-crafting-and-stickers/

Pd8145 Not so plain Kraft design papers
Pd9088 scribble hearts die
Pd9083 ribbon/heart tag die

Renske - For this Father’s Day card, I wanted to build a rustic pub-style scene. The focal point is the Dad Father Celebration Party Gnome digital stamp, which I coloured with alcohol markers in warm, earthy tones. I paired him with three sentiments from the Gnome Men Sentiment set to complete the design. The interactive beer mug flap is created from light yellow cardstock, traced from a small box and finished with Distress Ink blending in Mustard Seed, Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain.
To complete the scene, I added a wooden background panel made from kraft cardstock and Distress Ink for a worn, rustic finish. Hugs Renske

Revati - Looking for a fun, interactive way to celebrate Father's Day? I created this playful interactive card featuring a surprise flap that lifts to reveal a hidden Father's Day greeting! To bring this scene to life, I started by printing, fussy cutting, and alcohol-marker coloring the adorable Road Trip Car Bee Buzzy Gnome digi stamp from Polkadoodles. I also printed two sentiments from the Gnome Men Greeting Digi stamps set—one to sit perfectly under our driving gnome on the card front, and a second hidden gem for the inside of the flap. For the background, I paired a vibrant green grass paper from the Bee Busy Flower and Plains paper pad with a beautifully textured blue sky paper from the Spring to Easter paper pad. By creating a little grassy hill border for the interactive flap and mirroring a similar hill border hidden inside, this little gnome driving his carriage is ready to deliver the perfect Father’s Day surprise!

Jenn B - I used 2 separate sets combined to make my Father's Day card, the first set is called Dad Father Celebration Party Gnome for Men and the second set is called Dad Father Celebrate Relax Gnome for Men. I printed out my gnome images and colored them with Copics. The beer stein papers are from the Party Gnome set. The Have a Great Day b&w papers are from the Knight & Dragon Little Dudes set. I liked the contrast of the bright colored beer mugs against the black and white paper. This was a fun card to make!

Ana - Hi crafty friends! For this week’s Design Team Digi Choosday Father’s Day with Bright Colors challenge, I created a fun and cheerful card featuring an adorable beer-loving gnome from the Gnome Men collection.

So let's see what the team have made to inspire us this week!

Nikky - Hey everyone! Just stopping by with a little make I did on my last Livestream using our brand new MDF kit...

This great kit is packed with 21 XL pieces of MDF that you can decorate as you wish - whether it's making cards, home decor or journal pages and sublimation these pieces are designed by a papercrafter so they're sized for all the possible projects you'd like to make...all you have to do is decorate with inks, papers and get stamping!
This concertina tag book was made just by joining these 3 tags on the back with card and they fold up. I added pocket layers using inked up papers and added some die cuts. These are quite big tags, the tallest one is 5-6" so it makes a decent size and would be great for a grab book (remember those???) or to add to a gift or a card, they're all so versatile and there's a good range of sizes to get stuck into!


Nelly - Do you enjoy making fun fold cards? This week I created this different fold which is A2 in size, i cut from corner to corner on the front flap and added in love with Autumn paper pack you can find HERE, next I added a square piece of card and glued it in on the right hand side, I placed another piece from the autumn paper pack and coloured up a flower stamp, butterfly and added a sentiment stamp taken from big-birthday-surprise-stamp. Finally I embossed the wood grain stencil and coloured with distress ink, I coloured up Having -a-giraffe-clear-stamp-set-for-card-making-craft-scrapbooking/ the leafy-fronds-die cuts was coloured also with green distress inks and the big-hello-sentiment-die-was added to finish this card off...





Maria - I’ve rediscovered the wonderful bow pop-up card and have been making them non-stop lately! It’s such a quick project to put together, yet it always looks so impressive and elaborate. You can find a full step-by-step tutorial for it over on my YouTube channel, MarieleMakes. For this design, I used the gorgeous Adalene Craft Papers — their style complements the dragonfly from the Daisy Dragonfly set perfectly, creating such a dreamy, harmonious look. I coloured both the dragonfly and the leaves with Faber Castell watercolours to give the whole piece that soft, delicate watercolour finish. The dragonfly is mounted on a thin strip of clear acetate, so it appears to float and hover right in mid-air!
What makes this card extra special is its clever design: you can stand it up on display beautifully, but it also folds completely flat, making it really easy and convenient to post or send to someone special.
Products I used:
Adalene French Vintage Shabby Chic 6 x 6" Paper pack
Daisy Dragonfly clear stamps, outline cutting dies and layering Stencils bundle
Here´s my socialmedia:

Robbie - Hello everyone, this sweet Bunny rabbit image and a fancy fold makes an adorable birthday card. This image was already colored so I didn't have to color anything, I just used papers from Graduation school student Textured polka dot paper bundle 2 . The Happy Birthday sentiment was one I shrunk down and added it to the card using editing software. I fussy cut some flowers to sprinkle on the outside and inside. I finished the centers with some Nuvo glitter drops.
My Social Media Links

Liz - I'm loving the new MDF blanks, they are fabulous for creating mixed media pieces, either on their own or grouped together, so I couldn't resist using this one for my first project,
After giving the MDF a coat of white Gesso, this lightens any colours you add later on, I then used some acrylic paints for the base colours. I stamped the image from the Be Your Original Self stamps onto Rice Paper, then after glueing it down used the Alphanumeric stencil around using distress oxide inks, I then coloured the face and flowers with slightly deeper acrylics keeping in the same tones.
More stamping from the set around the image gives added interest and layering without bulk,
A little white embossing powder on the script stamp from the set gives another layer, I then used the small dots stamp from the Just A little Note stamp set as it fit in perfectly, using it again here and there,
Some torn Sari silk finished off the project, but you could use some rings if you decided to make it as a cover for an album.

Julie- A birthday in June or July? This card features the Zodiac animal for June/July, the crab, atop a yummy cupcake. The card started with an easy to create faux step card design. The assembly for this card literally takes less than 5 minutes to cut, score and glue together. Then it's just adding the Zodiac/Horoscope Printable Papers and coloring the Crab/Cupcake Image in bright, playful colors to coordinate with the pattern papers. Lastly adding a sentiment or 2 from Zodiac sentiments and a few colored gems for added sparkle. Don't forget to decorate the inside panel with some of the scraps of pattern paper. This small detail adds such an extra wow to the card. Measurements to create the card can be found on my blog.


Taty- Hello creatives today I'm sharing my DT birthday themed inspiration. I created a double fold card and the top side cut diagonally. I covered each side of the card with patterned paper filled with green leaves and decorated the front with the adorable color image Gift parcel Noodle Panda and the inside part with the color image Hanging on tree branch - Noodle Panda. In the central fold I glued the phrase Happy Birthday by die-cutting the green glitter paper, I also used glitter paper to die-cut some leaves to alternate with the white ginkgo leaves to decorate the card.

So let's see what the team have made to inspire us this week!


Liz - I love to make a card using a tag shape, so for my hubby's 70th Birthday I created this cute themed tag card, I love the Vintage ephemera stamp set, which I also used with the Sending Love stamp set. I used the All in the Numbers stamps for the finishing touches.


Enrica - Hello everyone! Today's card is made using the Flower Meadow digi collection, I do love how this turned out i'm really happy with the colours I used and how they match the paper from the collection too.


Revati - I created this gate-fold card using the gorgeous Alcea Hollyhock Flowers Bundle. This set is a dream if you love products that coordinate perfectly! It features stunning floral arrangements, matching patterned papers, and versatile sentiments. To hold the gate-fold in place, I designed a wrap-around belly band featuring the "Sending Birthday Wishes" sentiment and a few fussy-cut flowers. While I left the inside blank for a personal message, I added a small floral accent to beautifully carry the design through to the inside. For more details, visit my blog.

Jenn - We were tasked with creating a card with a wraparound, and I had the perfect idea for my middle granddaughter's birthday, which is one week from today!I used the digi Gemini, colored with Copics and mounted on a piece of black cardstock. I used Kraft cardstock for the base of the card and printed out the giraffe pattern to trim down into the wraparound the piece. I stamped the balloon and sentiments on the wraparound from the Do Small Things with Love clear stamp set with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. The "Gemini" sentiment is from the Zodiac Signs and Months words set. My IG @craftywitchyjenn




Renske- For this challenge I created a soft and cosy wrap-around design featuring the sweet Suki Cat/Kitten with Mail & Lollipop digi stamp. I used the cloud patterned paper from the Pretty Spring papers to create a light sky background and added envelopes. On the belly band I made enveloppes with hearts and arrows to match the theme of the digital stamp. The sentiment from the Spring Tons of Love greetings Set was resized and layered onto the belly band to make the wrap the real focal point of the design. I also added dimensional elements and alcohol marker colouring to give the card extra depth while keeping the overall look soft and playful. Hope you will get inspired by this.Happy Crafting.

The sentiments was taken from the strip sentiment panel HERE Whatever you’re up to have a great weekend everyone and carry on crafting folks!
