For Someone Special

It's Tuesday, that means it's Digi Choosday.  I'm no longer on the team, but I had my make ready to go, so I decided to post it anyway.  This week, the theme is "Mother's Day."  Those Brits celebrate the holiday earlier than we do here in the U.S. 

I haven't played with the Winston Deluxe Papercraft Collection (also available in CD) in awhile, and it's one of my favorites, so I went a-hunting there for cuteness, and I found it!

Everything on this card is from the Winston Deluxe Paper Collection  or CD-- insert, design sheet, sentiment, pre-colored image.  I digitally merged some of them, and fussy cut others to create this card, placing them on a Kraft card stock base. 

I'd like to enter this in the following challenges:
Digichoosday Challenge -- Mother's Day
Crafty Boots -- something for the lady
Melonheadz Friends -- Add an Animal
Crafty Cardmakers -- For a Special Woman

You're My Best Friend -- for Digi Choosday

It's Tuesday.  It's Digi Choosday!  It's Digi Discount day at Polkadoodles, and it's time for a new challenge!  This is a BIG day!
Today's challenge theme is "The color Green &/or Nature".

I am having a great time using the new Polkadoodle's Sticks & Bones Collection, so I used it again today to make a card for my BFF.

My "Green" themed card uses walk the dinosaur (colored with Copic markers), papers, and a pre-colored sentiment from the Sticks & Bones Collection.  It's available in CD or Digital Download.

The card base is from the Silhouette Design store.  I cut it out on my Silhouette Cameo.  I used two Top Dog dies on the image and the sentiment. The ribbon is from 3 Girl JAM. 

I hope you join us for our Digi Choosday "The color green &/or nature" challenge. It will last for 2 weeks.  Our 'Animals & Insects' challenge is still happening for another week, so please join in on that one, too.

Sending Bugs & Kisses -- for Digi Choosday

It's Tuesday, and that means it's Digi Choosday, and that means a discount code for you, good for only 24 hours!  And, it means great inspiration and a new challenge over on the Digi Choosday Challenge blog.   For the next 2 weeks, the theme is 'Animals & Insects'.  Oh!  This sounds like the perfect time for the new Polkadoodle's Lily Bug Love collection!



I colored Lily Bug Love Heart Balloon with Copic markers.  The sentiment and backing papers are all part of the Lily Bug Love full collection, available in CD or digital download.  I used a cutting die from Craftin' Desert Divas to cut out Lily Bug Love, and a die from Paper Wishes to cut out the large tag behind her.  Fibers are from Close To My Heart. I think Lily Bug Love Heart Balloon will be perfect on a gift or just as a "pick-me-up" gift for someone special.

The dies &/or punches challenge is still going on for another week at Digi Choosday, so join in on that one, too.  Then, join our 'Animals & Insects' challenge.  There's great prizes to win and I want to see what you create!  Join our Digi Choosday Crafting group on Facebook, too.

Light My Fire -- a tutorial for Digi Choosday

It's Tuesday, and that means it's Digi Choosday!  It's time for a new challenge over at the Digi Choosday Challenge Blog, AND it means there's a big discount code available for 24 hours only at the Polkadoodles store.  Take advantage!   Our theme at Digi Choosday, for the next 2 weeks, is "All You Need is Love."  Aw, just in time for Valentine's Day.

Today, I'm showcasing the new Sticks & Bones collection, (CD) , Digital Download) and showing how I use dies to make a card base, and use a die to ink the edges of my image. 

First, arrange the die over the image. I colored this adorable image with Copic markers. Secure -- I use washi tape:

Using a sponge and distress ink, with the die in place, ink the edges of the image:

Gather supplies, choose papers, dies, sentiment, card base:

Fold card base in 2 (fold is on the left in the picture below), overlap folded edge slightly with die, and run everything through a die cutting machine. 

Assemble the layers, embellish as desired:


This is going to be my husband's Valentine's Day card.  It's not traditional, but I think he'll like it!

Come join the Digi Choosday "All You Need is Love" Challenge going on for 2 weeks.  The "Anything But a Card" challenge goes on for another week, so there's still time to join us for that one, too. While you're joining in the fun, join our Digi Choosday Crafting Facebook group, too!

Fixing to Have a Great Day -- for Digi Choosday

It's Tuesday, and that means Digi Choosday.  That can only mean 2 things -- another awesome challenge starts today at the Digi Choosday Challenge blog, and an even more awesome digi coupon is good for 24 hours only in the Polka Doodles store.  Digi Choosday

My good friend and her husband spent well over a year remodeling the main floor of their house.  It is virtually complete.  I made this card in her honor.  I used this image from the Work & Play 11 collection (CD) & (Digital Download). The female painter/decorator image is available here.  Papers are from the same collection.  Since this week's theme is stitching -- faux or real, I faux stitched around the image, and chose a slightly different pattern to faux stitch around the sentiment.  I kept the rest of the card CAS to draw attention the the image, Copic coloring and faux stitching.



The Cool Blues challenge at Digi Choosday goes on for another weeks, and this Faux or real Stitching challenge will last 2 weeks.  Please join us!  Join our Digi Choosday Facebook group, too!

Birthday Wishes - and a Tutorial -- for Digi Choosday

It's Tuesday, and that means Digi Choosday, with the awesome 24 hour digi code -- take advantage of this! Our theme for the next 2 weeks is Winter Blues.  It's also my turn to share a short tutorial with you.
First, the finished card:

This awesome digi is from the Twiggy & Toots Collection, found here in CD and here in Digital Download.  Just the strawberry cupcake image can be found here. I colored the cupcake image using Copic markers.  The cool blue background paper is from the Frosted Winter Octavia Collection (CD or Download). Then, the fun begins.  To make your own rainbow ribbon, follow these easy instructions:

Gather your supplies.  This technique can be done with a varieties of white ribbons.  I've used either inks or alcohol markers.  For this ribbon I wanted a "soft" look, so I chose distress inks.

Alternating every inch or so, ink your ribbon.  I cut 13 inches of ribbon for this card.  Here I am, getting started on it.

Here's the completed striped, multicolored ribbon --

One more view of the completed card, now that you know what to focus on:


The card shape was cut out on my Silhouette Cameo, using a Lori Whitlock cutting file.  The stars and circles were made with a Minc foil machine. 

I hope you can join us the next 2 weeks for our Winter Blues challenge!  Our CAS challenge at Digi Choosday goes on for one more week.  Plus, don't forget about the Digi Choosday Crafting Group on Facebook.

You Make Me Smile -- for Digi Choosday

It's Tuesday, and Digi Choosday is back in swing! That means great inspiration, a new challenge, and a 24 hour discount code in the Polkadoodles store!  This week, our theme is CAS.  My cards generally lean towards a CAS style, but when I'm trying to do something, sometimes I overthink it.  Such was the case with this.  But, CAS it is!



The image and designer paper are from Polkadoodle's Nikky Digital  Stamp download.  It comes with the stamp and six(!) designer papers!  Isn't Nikky just so cute?!?  I colored her with Copic markers, and inked the edges of both papers.  The ticket is from the Work & Play 9 Collection, available both in CD and Digital  Craft Download.

The die cut heart has been sitting on my work desk for ages.  I cut it out on my Silhouette for another project, and finally found it's home!

I hope you join in on our CAS challenge this week at Digi Choosday!  Check out our Facebook group, too. There's loads of inspiration to be found there.

Christmas Ornaments -- for Digi Choosday

It's Tuesday, and Digi Choosday.  Today, we start the last Digi Choosday challenge before we take a bit of a holiday break.  This would be a good time to take advantage of the super duper discount code (say THAT 3 times fast!) and do a bit of shopping for digi products in the Polkadoodles store.  We'll all have more time for crafting after the holidays.  Won't we?  Please?

This time's theme is a favorite of many -- anything goes! We're ending the year with a bang!

I recently celebrated Christmas with my staff.  I made this same type of ornament for some of them several years ago, but I have some new staff now, and I wanted them to have one of my "signature" ornaments, too.  These were made entirely out of digi papers from the Polkadoodles store:




Most of the papers are from the Twiggy & Toots Festive Fun Collection, available in both Digital Download and CD.  One of the papers, left over from a former project, but matching perfectly, is from Work & Play 5 - Festive Hollybobs.   Again, this collection is available in both CD Rom and Digital Download.

Our Digi Choosday 'Christmas Decor' challenge is going on for another week, so please link up with us.  Then, link up with whatever your working on with the Anything Goes challenge.  Woot! Show off your makes in the Digi Choosday Facebook group, too!

Whoooo Likes Ornaments? for Digichoosday

It's Tuesday, and that's Digi Choosday.  I love this day of the week! It's time for a new challenge on the Digi Choosday Challenge Blog. It's also the day to get some really great savings on digital downloads at Polkadoodles.  Do some shopping -- you know you want to!

This week, the theme is Christmas Decor.  I've been needing to make some ornaments, so I took advantage of the theme to create these:


Both ornaments were created using a pre-printed image from the Twiggy and Toots Festive Fun Collection.  It's available in Digital Download, and CD.  Bauble Wishes is also available as a digital stamp. The papers I used on these ornaments is also from the Twiggy and Toots Festive Fun Collection.

The ornament shapes were created with Spellbinders dies.  There's a bit of Timeless Twine to hang the ornaments.  

I used a tree in my yard to photograph these.  Yes, we have snow!

The 'Traditional Christmas' challenge is going on for another week at Digi Choosday, so please join us in that one, and then enter your Christmas decor projects for this challenge!  I'd love to see what you make!

Traditional Christmas Joy -- for Digi Choosday

It's Tuesday, that means Digi Choosday.  Check out the awesome discount code, only available for 24 hours, and treat yourself to some shopping in the Polkadoodles store!

Our theme this week at Digi Choosday is Traditional Christmas.  I used traditional Christmas colors, and made a not-so-traditional card, using the Picknix 3 - Nordic Winter.  The collection is available in instant download or CD.



I also used the Adult Coloring Pages Alphabet 1 Bundle on this card, and colored with Copic markers.  My very good friend and her husband winter in Arizona every year, where there are butterflies and blooming flowers at Christmastime.  I thought this card would be fun to send to them -- Christmas in spirit, yet a reflection of what they experience. 

Don't forget, our Winter Birthday challenge is still going on for another 2 weeks at Digi Choosday.  Join us in either challenge -- or both!

It's Tuesday, which also means it's time for a new challenge at Digi Choosday.  The theme, for the next 2 weeks, is Winter Birthday.  

Polka Doodles has so many wonderful Winter/Christmas collections that can be used for this theme.  I used one of the design sheets from the Octavia Frosted Winter Collection to create this card. It's available both in Digital Download (instant gratification) or CD.   I fussy cut lots of layers, then used 3D foam tape in-between.  The sentiment is one of the many freebies in the Polkadoodles store.  Have you snagged them yet?



Speaking of Polkadoodles and Digi Choosday, don't forget to take advantage of the Digi Choosday discount code, good for 24 hours, on ANY downloads in the Polkadoodles store.  Woohoo!

Starting today, and for the next 2 weeks, our theme is "Reds, Oranges, &/or Browns"  -- the colors of Autumn in Wisconsin.  While on a car trip this past weekend, I saw fields of sunflowers past their prime.  They were the inspiration for today's flip card.  


The sunflower image, colored with Lyra Rembrandt Polycolor pencils,  is from the Sundae of Seasons CD (Halloween).  The sentiment tag and designer paper is from the Winston Deluxe Full Collection.  It's also on CD.

The card base is cut out using my Big Shot and a Sizzix Scallop Square Flip-it Die.  There's some Timeless Twine on here, and some embellishments from Close To My Heart.

Special Wishes for Someone Special

It's Tuesday, and Digi Choosday!   Hurry to the blog, check all the wonderful inspiration, grab the discount code, and SHOP at the Polka Doodle's store!  Go, go, go!  Today also starts a new challenge.  The theme for the next 2 weeks is "Favorite Color Combination".

I went 3 ways with this theme, using my favorite Copic combinations, using pink and blue on my card -- a favorite of mine, and using this person and dog stamp -- a great, colorful combination!



The stamp and papers are part of a mini collection called "Kath Walking the Dog Digital Craft Download".  The sentiment is from the Winston Deluxe Paper Crafting collection.  I distressed the edges of all the papers to give it more of a rugged, outdoorsy look.

My favorite pink Copic combination is R81, R83, R85, and R89, used here.  My favorite blue jeans blend is B41, B95, B97.  Her hair, another favorite, is Y21, YR21, and YR24.  Kath's skin is my favorite blend:  E000, E00, E11, E21, and E04, with a bit of R20 on the cheeks. The Golden Retriever is colored with shades of E30, E31, E34, and E35. Her shoes are G12, G14, G17.

The tie-dye crinkle ribbon is from 3 Girl JAM.
