Digi Choosday - Hello Autumn - Yellow & Orange - Autumn is Coming card - Freddy Fox Collection - with Polkadoodles

Hello everyone and happy Wednesday... I hope that you're having a great week so far and that the weather is being kind to you.

I know its still the middle of Summer but as a card maker we try to get ahead and that sometimes feels like were making cards at the wrong time of the year...but I promise you it makes sense in the craft world LOL

It's time for the Design Team to share some more inspiration for our current 'Anything Goes' challenge over on the Polkadoodles Digi Choosday Blog. 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 by Nikky was Autumn is coming...using Yellow and Orange !.  I love the garden in the Autumn, the colours around are amazing and the high temperatures of the summer have started to subside.  I decided to reach for a digital stamp from the Freddy Fox Autumn / Fall Collection for my card today as he has the perfect colourings.

The digital stamp I have chosen is Apple Barrel Fox, resized for my smaller A6 card before printing out and colouring with Promarkers. I then used my ScannCut to cut out Freddy although it could easily be cut by hand.

I wanted to create lots of layers and textures for my card today so used lots yellow and orange distress inks to create an ink smooshed panel on watercolour card, allowing each colour to dry before adding the next colour, building up layers slowly.  

Next I added interest to this panel, stamping leaves and dots in distress oxide inks and added some gold stencilling too here and there.

I tore down the right hand side of the inked panel, leaving the white core exposed and then chose a couple of papers from the collection adding strips below the inked panel again with torn edges.

I used an arched dies to create a frame, in yellow and orange card and adhered this to the panel on the card.

My coloured Freddy image was mounted onto the card with foam tape.

I then stamped leaves from the leftover distress ink panel and hand cut these out.  I had a few mushrooms left over from another project so decided to colour these with orange and yellow alcohol pens to coordinate with the theme and layered these at the bottom of the card, along with a sentiment from the Freddy Fox collection.

To finish off my card today I've added white gelly roll pen highlights and scattered orange gems around the design as I always love a little sparkle on my cards.

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 !

Digi Choosday - Freddy Fox collection - November Birthday - with Polkadoodles

Hello everyone and happy Wednesday... I hope that you are having a good week....We're nearly at the end of October and well into Autumn now, the leaves around the garden are falling fast and lots of the plants are starting to think about resting over Winter.  It's been a long hot Summer so a well earned rest I think

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 November Birthday - and as its still officially Autumn until December 21st I thought I would choose to create something with one of my favourite collections especially for this time of the year

It's of course the  Freddy Fox collection and I have created a DL card for my friend back in the UK.

The main Freddy image for todays card is Birthday Balloons, resized and coloured with promarkers before fussy cutting out.

For the background I chose 3 papers from the collection, layering these up for my scene of Freddy floating through the sky.  The pre-coloured butterflies from the ephemera bundle were added to the sky paper before printing out.

I added little cross stitched borders to the paper layers for extra details.

The sentiment from the collection was printed as a simple strip and added  towards the bottom of the card.

To finish off the design I added some sparkle to the butterflies and some pretty sequins around the design.

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

Hello everyone and happy Wednesday I hope that your having a good week so far.

Are you looking forward to Autumn ? I love all the seasons but the Autumn colours are my favourite and I adore the poppies that we get here although they tend to be in Spring.

It's that time of the week 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 to create a Friendship themed card so I decided to create a one layer card using the fabulous and very cute Freddy Fox release..... I just love all the warm tones of Autumn so this is one of my favourite collections.

It's a very simple A6 card with the design panel mounted onto a layer of red card.  To create the image I started by adding the fox and poppy image to a panel in my graphics software (I've also flipped this through 90 for a different look and then added 3 little bees and the cute little duck to create my scene.  Finally I chose a friendship themed sentiment from the collection before printing on alcohol marker friendly cardstock and colouring with promarkers.

Just a few touches of clear sparkle were added to the little bees and I used yellow glossy drops to add details to the poppy stamens.

Digi Choosday - Freddy Fox - Welcome Autumn With Friends Freddy with Polkadoodles

Hello everyone and happy Tuesday. It's September and Autumn is now definitely on it's way... the leaves are turning and falling fast after out hot long Summer.

It's that time of the week 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 to create an Autumn or Halloween themed card so I chose Autumn as the colours around the garden and the mountains are some of my favourites.

I thought that today I would share a card using the fabulous and very cute Freddy Fox release.

Its a very simple bridge fold card that fits into a standard 6" x 6" envelope.  I have used 3 papers from the collection to decorate the panels and the bridge section.  The sweet image of Freddy with his friend was resized to suit the card before printing on alcohol marker friendly cardstock, colouring with promarkers and fussy cutting out.

I also printed some of the pre-coloured ephemera from the collection and used this to decorate the card, adding one of the little bees on a strip of acetate so he flies over the heads of Freddy and his friend.  The sentiment adhered to the back of the card has also been printed from the collection and cut into a simple banner.

I hope that you like my card today and you'll enjoy the next cards I share from the new Freddy the Fox Collection by Polkadoodles.

Hasta luego 👋

Autumn /Fall card - Freddy Fox - Winter Latte Freddy - Digi Choosday with Polkadoodles

Hello everyone and happy Tuesday. It's still the middle of Summer here and I hope that you Summer weather is treating you ok too....I hate to say it but Autumn won't be that far away now.

I think as crafters sometimes we are chasing the next season but I suppose it takes time for us to make cards....

It's that time of the week 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 to create an Autumn of Fall themed card.

The colours on the mountain sides and in the forests are stunning in the Autumn here so I thought that today I would share a card using the Freddy Fox release.

This is a pop up frame card that I've made using the gorgeous digital stamp Winter Latte

The pop up frame cards are probably my favourite style and this is a 6" x 6" card.  They are really easy to make and there are some fabulous instructions by Jennifer McGuire if you would like to give it a go.

Once you've made one, its really easy to alter the dimensions to suit the card size that you want to create.

There is a great tutorial on YouTube tutorial by Jennifer McGuire, showing how to make these make a popup up frame cards.   If you haven't seen the video here is the link.

I planned on cutting out the centre of the  wreath design and then popping up my focal image in the centre of the card panel, using a small card pop up element. Basically a strip of card that is folded and adhered to the card that pops up but folds flat too.

I decided to create a floral wreath for my frame so started by adding elements from the ephemera bundle to create a wreath shape onto one of the gorgeous papers from the collection in my graphics software, before printing this out, I copied  some of the flower elements so I could fussy cut these out for my design.

I coloured the Freddy Fox image using Promarkers and then fussy cut him out mounting him in the centre of the aperture.

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