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

Julie - To create this sweet little card, I started with a standard 4¼" x 5½" card base. Using a large arch die, I cut the shape of the card, making sure the die extended slightly beyond the folded edge so the fold remained intact. This creates a fun side-folding arch-shaped card. I then used the next smaller arch die to cut a coordinating panel from the Winnie Fruit Punch pattern paper collection and adhered it to the card front. For the focal images, I chose Bella Bee, along with a beehive and bees from the Winnie Fruit Punch collection. After printing the digital images, I colored everything with Copic Markers before fussy cutting the pieces. I attached some elements directly to the card while popping others up with foam tape to add depth and dimension. As a finishing touch, I added a little glitter pen to the bee wings for a subtle sparkle.

Maria - Let me tell you, I grabbed the wonderful Birthday Fun craft papers to make one cheerful birthday card… and I just couldn’t stop! From a single sheet of designer paper, an entire set of birthday cards came to life – I’ve created a fabulous One Sheet Wonder! Every card shares the same cohesive look, yet each one is totally unique and different from the rest. Stay tuned to see exactly how each of the four designs turned out!
Here’s the first one in the collection:
I used the rainbow, butterfly, and sweet little mouse from the Grow On You stamp set. The background was created with the Starburst stencil and Papers from the Birthday Fun pack, and the lovely sentiment comes straight from the Birthday Celebrations stamps set.

Ana - Hi Crafty Friends! For this week’s Digi Choosday Design Team project, I created these fun and colorful Glitter Shaker Bookmarks perfect for the back-to-school DT theme!
I used the adorable Cute Boy and Cute Girl Students digi stamps from Polkadoodles and colored them using Ohuhu Alcohol Markers.To make these bookmarks, I created transparent plastic pouches using my We R Memory Keepers Fuse Tool, inserted the colored digi images, added shaker bits, then sealed everything together to create fun interactive bookmarks. After that, I put cute, polka dot ribbons for an extra cuteness!For the full list of materials and step-by-step instructions, be sure to check out my blog: https://mycatandcrafts.blogspot.com/2026/07/digi-choosday-project-back-to-school.html

Nelly - Are you a cat person? ….personally I'm allergic to cats but I absolutely adore them, so making a lovely cat card is somewhat comforting! This weeks team challenge was to create a shape down one edge, this card is a tri fold with a teardrop front panel, this was perfect to hold the fuzzy puff cat birthday image - he's called Jasper! He’s so adorable, right? I kept the colours a soft brown palette and used papers from the Great Outdoors Paper pack which also has cats and dogs in there - and i think it suits this card perfectly. The sentiments are stamped from the Super Sentiments clear stamps - it's a must have stamp for your stash! Hope you like it too!
