Digi Choosday - Work & Play painter bundle - new - Painter / decorator - Boy - DIY themed card with Polkadoodles

Hello everyone and happy Wednesday... I hope that you are having a good week....x

It's that time of the week to share some more inspiration for our current 'Anything Goes' challenge over on the Polkadoodles Digi Choosday Blog so I hope you are going to join in and don't forget the amazing Digi Choosday discount off all crafty printable downloads!  

Don't Forget that our challenges our now 4 weekly so there's loads of time for you to join in and more chances to win too!

The theme set for the DT this week is to create something with a DIY/Gardening theme so I decided to use the Work & Play decorating bundle for my card today....it's the perfect digi bundle, with papers, sentiments, ephemera and digital character images.

I used the sweet decorator boy for my card resizing him to fit my larger 5" x 7" A7 card.  I wanted the card to look like he was in a room hanging wallpaper.

I started by choosing one of the sentiments from the collection and added this to the top left corner of a panel of card, I used 3 distress inks to swipe a littles ink over the corner, I think it kind of looks like brush marks.  The main image was printed out onto alcohol marker friendly card and coloured with promarkers before fussy cutting out.

Next I cut 3 strips of patterned paper from the collection and adhered these to the white sentiment panel, I left 2 pieces of the wallpaper unglued at the top and then rolled these so it looks like the wallpaper is falling off the walls. I'm sure we've all had moments like these ! 

I cut a strip of flooring from a paper pad, to look like the skirting board.

To finish off the design I printed out a couple of the extra paint cans and brushes, fussy cutting these out and adding to the card.

I hope that you like my project today and you'll enjoy the next that I share from Polkadoodles.

Hasta luego 👋 

Enjoy the rest of your day !

Just a little note - Digi Deal - Gnome feeding bird with Polkadoodles

Hello everyone and happy Friday, I hope you have had a good week and are looking forward to the weekend.

Today I wanted to share another sweet card that I've made using the cute new Digi Deal by Polkadoodles 

If you haven't had a look yet it's a great kit packed with loveliness, there are 6 gorgeous fun papers, 17 sentiments and 2 digital images ( 1 pre-coloured and 1 black & white for you to colour) perfect for all sorts of different occasions.

Its a simple A7 or 5" x 7" card with one of the papers from the kit to mat and layer onto the card with turquoise card. 

I resized the digital image, flipped it through 180 and then printed it out onto alcohol marker friendly cardstock adding one of the wonderful sentiments into the top corner before colouring with my Promarkers (see below for colours), coordinating with the bold striped paper I had chosen.

To hide the word on the seed sack I simply cut a couple of patches from one of the leftover papers from the previous card and adhered these to the card adding some stitching details. I blended a little blue distress ink around the design to help draw the eye in.

The finishing touches were little highlights of white pen and gold sparkle pen on the image and I added a scattering of teal confetti around the design.  Such a different card I think using the same digital image.

I hope that you like my card today and you'll enjoy the next cards I share from for Polkadoodles.

Hasta luego 👋 

Enjoy the rest of your day !

Friendship is like a garden - Digi Deal - Gnome feeding bird with Polkadoodles

Hello everyone and happy Monday. I hope the weather is being kind to you wherever you are...its been so hot here lately so I thought I'd have a bit of cool time indoors today and update my blog.

There's a super cute new Digi Deal by Polkadoodles and I wanted to share a sweet Stepper card that I've made using the new kit today.

It's a great kit packed with loveliness, there are 6 gorgeous fun papers, 17 sentiments and 2 digital images ( 1 pre-coloured and 1 black & white for you to colour) perfect for all sorts of different occasions.

I created the faux stepper card from Kraft card for a more natural looking card and then used a couple of the papers from the kit to mat and layer onto the card. 

I resized the digital image and printed him out onto alcohol marker friendly cardstock before colouring with my Promarkers (see below for colours) to match the pretty papers I had chosen.

The finishing touches were little highlights of white pen and gold sparkle pen on the image and I added a few coordinating sequins around the design.

I hope that you like my card today and you'll enjoy the next cards I share from for Polkadoodles.

Hasta luego 👋 

Enjoy the rest of your day !

Digi Choosday - Lilac Haze digi deal with Polkadoodles

Hello everyone wishing you a very happy Tuesday.  I hope that you have a lovely day today and enjoy the week ahead.

It's that time again when we launch a brand new 'Anything Goes' challenge over on the Polkadoodles Digi Choosday Blog so I hope you are going to join in and don't forget the amazing discount off all crafty printable downloads until midnight today!

The theme set for the DT this week is Florals, so I chose to use one of the amazing Digi Deals that Nikky has recently released. 

This is using the Lilac Haze Digi Deal which is such great value for money as it includes:

❤️ 1 x BLACK & WHITE digital, printable image in .PNG format (clear, transparent background so you can layer files easily in a graphics program if you wish) - perfect for crafts, cardmaking, scrapbooking etc.

❤️ 1 x pre-coloured digital, printable image in .PNG format (clear, transparent background so you can layer files easily in a graphics program if you wish)

❤️ SVG & DXF outline cutting file to cut around the shape of the digi stamp - import the relevant file type into your electronic cutting machine program and use to cut/trace/create your own cut lines. (Silhouette Cameo = DXF format, Cricut/Brother Scan n Cut = SVG format)

❤️ 3 x digital, printable greeting in .PNG format (clear, transparent background so you can layer files easily in a graphics program if you wish)

❤️ 7 x digital, printable papers in .JPG format

I decided to make an A6 (UK Size) one layer card so created an A6 panel in my graphics program and then I have added the black and white digital image, one of the papers and then one of the sentiments from the deal before printing out onto alcohol marker friendly cardstock.

I chose to colour these flowers in a bolder purple colour palette as I think they resemble a flower that grows here in the area everywhere we go - don't forget they can be coloured any way you choose.  

If you don't love colouring or need a quick card then the digi deal includes a pre-coloured version of the image which has been hand water coloured by Nikky herself!

I also have a very special DT discount code that you can use for all your shopping on the Polkadoodles online shop at checkout use WENDYJ-10 and you will get 10% of your entire purchase (not in conjunction with other discount codes!)

I hope that you like my card today and you'll enjoy the next cards I share from Polkadoodles.

Hasta luego 👋 

Enjoy the rest of your day !
