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! 

🌟 Gorgeous Inspiration, big thanks to the team!

Nelly - Happy Saturday everyone! …. This weeks task was to creat an interactive project using a colour palette, this inspired me to create the envelopes with the said palette, to compliment this I created 4 interactive notelet cards, I have placed a spring, wobble behind the images so the toads wobble when you flick it with your finger! I do hope you like these and inspire you to create them they really are so simple to make. If you love the toads stamps set be quick they have been reduced to only £1 each set, an absolute bargain!!

Enrica - Hi crafty friends! For my project this week I went back to one of my favorite characters, Rebel!
Maybe it's because I see so much of myself in her, but I find her irresistible!
I made a z-fold card, and this is the list of what I used:
Milkshake Drink Rebel
Rebel with Attitude Easy snip message strips
Rebel Messages with attitude
Accessories - Sparkle Unicorn

Renske - For this interactive train card, I started by creating a soft ink blended background using warm orange and pink tones to complement the colours of the train. I coloured the Polkadoodles Train Driver Digital Stamp with Ohuhu alcohol markers, using a mix of orange, pink, lilac and blue shades to create contrast and bring the little train driver to life. I added the Bon Voyage sentiment from the Quotes and Sentiments Digital Stamps set and combined it with a second sentiment from the Everyday greetings and quotes - Winnie Daisy Fairy printable digital stamps set for the pull-tab reveal mechanism. The interactive element was created with a simple slider behind the train, allowing the hidden message to appear when the tab is pulled. Finally, I added layers, foam tape for dimension and a few finishing touches to complete this travel-themed surprise card.

Revati - I am so excited to share my latest creation: a vibrant, interactive z-fold card made entirely with digital products! For the main focal point, I featured the stunning floral pot and butterfly from the Butterfly Flowerpots Bundle. To bring everything together, I paired it with a gorgeous pink, subtly textured floral pattern from the Spring Tons of Love Paper Pad Set, and backed the focal image with a pretty orange striped paper from the Winnie Daisy Fairy Paper 1 Set. For the perfect finishing touch, I cut out small sentiments from the Graduation School Student Sentiments Bundle and inked them up in matching pinks and oranges to seamlessly tie into the overall color scheme.

Jenn B - The DT was tasked with creating an interactive card this time and I enjoyed the challenge! I made a "peek-a-boo" style card using the adorable Sweet as Candy - Love Always digi. I started by printing out several digi papers, then I printed out the image on Neenah Solar White cardstock. I colored with Copics and some pink fluffy glitter, fussy cut, and attached with foam dimensional tape. I used nesting dies for the sentiment and added a little ticket die cut from the DP which went perfectly with the carnival theme look of this card!

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

Ana - Hi crafty friends! Today I’m sharing another fun card featuring the adorable Pickles from Polkadoodles’ new Fluffy Friends collection. If you’ve seen my previous Fluffy Friends projects, you probably already know how much I’ve been enjoying creating layered cards with these cute pattern papers. I love mixing different prints together to create fun and playful backgrounds, and since I’m definitely not a minimalist crafter, more layers always make me happy! Hehe!
For this card, I used several pattern papers from the collection to build a layered background, adding a scalloped border, string, and little banners. I then added the super cute Pickles Dog Flower Bouquet 3 digi stamp and paired it with the sweet Friends Make Life Pawsome sentiment. Both were popped up with foam tape to make the cuteness stand out.
I love love how bright, cheerful, and pawsome this card turned out!
Products used:
Fluffy Friends Pretty Papers Set 1
Fluffy Friends Pretty Papers Set 2
Fluffy Friends Pretty Papers Set 3
Fluffy Friends Greetings and Sentiments
Pickles Dog Flower Bouquet 3 Digi Stamp

NELLY I simply love colouring up little fishes, it’s something about how their personality bursts into life! So for this weeks project I have taken the fish digital stamp from Winnie starfish and sandcastles digi download and coloured with zig watercolours. A little stencilling in the background and textures using texture paste created the ocean feel. I also used The Scribble Heart dies and the Heavenly Circles stencil. I thought this card would work perfect for an anniversary card? What do you think?

Maria - Hello again! I’ve been wanting to try these wonderful Pretty Shutter Window dies for such a long time, and now I’ve finally got around to it! I’ve created this lovely card using them. Combined with the magical Adalene Craft Papers designer paper, it gives a beautifully romantic, dreamy view into the evening sky. I added a brickwork texture to the paper using a stencil and purple ink. The sentiment from the Everyday Sentiment Strips pack is the perfect finishing touch for this handmade thank‑you card.

Robbie - Hello everyone! Who wouldn't love to see a mermaid? Well if you can't see one in real life you can create with them. I used various alcohol markers to color this underwater scene digistamp and Coral mermaid. Some blue ink was blended on the underwater scene panel to look like it is underwater. The Coral Mermaid paper made a great mat behind the scene. I shrunk the sentiment, printed, and then I cut it out. It was mounted on the same mat paper. The mermaid was fussy cut and then mounted on a spinner so she spins like she is swimming through the water. Who wouldn't smile when they open this card and the mermaid spins around!

Julie - Hello! Today's project is simple and easy to create. I started by printing an Ocean/Sea themed sentiment from Winnie Starfish Sandcastle about 1/3 of the way down on a card front. There are many sentiments to choose from so pick one that suits the mood of your card. I then cut a piece of printable paper from Winnie Starfish Sandcastle, and cut it at 4 1/8 x 3 1/2. I cut the 4 1/4 side across into a wavy design and attached it to the bottom of the card front. I chose a couple of vibrant colored fish from the Winnie Starfish Sandcastle Embellies and printed them in different sizes. I added some glitter to the fish before adding them with some foam squares into the water. I drew in a few bubbles and added some pieces of coral cut from a random die. I finished the card off with a few sparkly blue gems to coordinate with the water. I added a small strip of the water paper cut in the same wavy design to the card inside with an additional sentiment. The card was quick, beautiful and sends out a fun, relaxing vibe! Give it a try!
