Digi Choosday Project | Tag Pocket Card : Sweet Layers & Floral Flair

There’s just something I love about a project that combines soft pastels, dreamy florals, and a pop of vibrant color—and this Tag Pocket Card is all that and more! I designed and handmade this card using my Cricut Maker, layering it up with lovely Polkadoodles printable papers and finishing it off with all the prettiest little embellishments.







The true star? The Polkadoodles Nature’s Beauty girl with flowers - a gorgeous digital stamp that I colored with my Ohuhu markers in soft florals and vivid hues. Here’s a breakdown of the colors I used:

  • Pink Flowers: R9, R23, R15, RP6

  • Orange Flowers: Y10, YR4

  • Leaves: BG68, PB10, G4, PB9

  • Bubbles: BG3

  • Hair: CG II04, CG II07

  • Eyes: B030

  • Lips & Cheeks: RV260

  • Skin: R18, RV260






Originally, I colored one large image—but midway, I realized I wanted a smaller version to tuck inside, so I colored a second, smaller one too. Totally worth it!


How I Made It:

  1. Design & Cut:

    I created the envelope base and tag panels in Cricut Design Space and cut everything with my Cricut Maker. If you’d like to use the same shapes, you can grab my Design Space file here.



  2. Pocket Adjustments:

    I mitered the corners of the pocket flap with scissors for a cleaner, neater fold. Then I glued the pocket onto the card base.



  3. Tags:

    I initially planned to use a small tag I cut on the Cricut, but later changed my mind and wanted a larger one. Since I’d already packed my Cricut away (yes, it has a dust cover—Middle East problems: dust and sand everywhere!), I reached for my tag die and Sizzix to cut out the perfect size.

  4. Assembly:

    Once all pieces were ready, I glued the layered panels onto both the card and the tags. Don’t forget to glue the tag pockets too!









  5. Embellish!

    I dressed up the final design with floral embellishments, two types of ribbon, pearl sticks, and of course, my Polkadoodles digi stamp. These sweet details really brought the whole project to life.


This little pocket card makes a perfect gift tag, mini card, or special keepsake—and with those layered papers and hand-colored digi, it’s bursting with handmade charm. Hope it inspires your next crafty adventure!








 Come join the Polkadoodles fun at Digi Choosday – a new challenge goes live every week!


Happy creating!

Mini Album with Tags | Polkadoodles Project

I had so fun creating this sweet little  Mini Album with Tags  using Polkadoodles printable goodies - it was fun and relaxing. This project is simple and it’s super versatile too. I designed the base cut file myself using  Cricut Design Space , and if you’re using DS, you can grab the file right here . It’s a great starting point if you’re looking for a quick and easy project with lots of room for personalization. For the papers, I used the  Happy Cactus Succulent Printable Papers  from Polkadoodles. The cheerful colors (my fave colors too!) and patterns are perfect for a spring or summer vibe. I paired them with solid cardstock for structure, using it for both the base and the tags tucked inside. The sentiment on the bellyband— “Hi, You” —comes from the  Honeypie Greetings Sentiment  pack. It’s such a simple but sweet message that works for just about any occasion. To finish it off, I tied a cute  polkadot ribbon on the tags  for a little e...

Digi Choosday Project | Gratitude Journaling Folio with Polkadoodles Autumn Fall Fox

Digi Choosday Project | Gratitude Journaling Folio with Polkadoodles Autumn Fall Fox   This week’s Digi Choosday prompt is  Halloween / Autumn , and while I initially planned on making just one Halloween project, I couldn’t help but want to do an Autumn-inspired one too. So… here’s my second project: a  Gratitude Journaling Folio  featuring the adorable  Autumn Fall Foxes  from Polkadoodles!  This folio is actually a  one-page wonder  design, but I saw the perfect patterned papers in the  Boo Halloween Paper Digital Bundle  and  Enfys Jetsetting Digital Stamp Bundle —so I ended up layering extra panels inside. If you’re recreating this, feel free to stick with a single 12x12 patterned paper, or go wild like I did!  The  cover  is a mixed media combo of a paper doily, trims, flowers, one of the Autumn Fox digi stamps, and the word  “Grateful.”  Inside, I added more sweet words like  “Thankful” ...
