Digi Choosday Project | Floral Birthday Shaker Card featuring Polkadoodles' Love Bird Owl

Today I’m sharing a fun and cheerful birthday shaker card featuring the super versatile Love Bird Owl Heart Valentine digi stamp from Polkadoodles—proof that a Valentine image can be used beyond Valentine’s Day! 



For this project, I combined the adorable owl with bright floral elements and a fun shaker background, turning it into a sweet birthday surprise. The sentiment “Make a Wish” is from the Winnie Daisy Fairy Everyday Greetings and Quotes —one of my go-to sets for versatile phrases from Polkadoodles.

Materials Used

  • Polkadoodles Digi Stamp: Love Bird Owl Heart Valentine

  • Polkadoodles Sentiment: Make a Wish from Winnie Daisy Fairy Everyday Greetings and Quotes

  • Ohuhu Markers

  • Lawn Fawn Spring Flowers Backdrop Dies

  • White Vinyl Sticker (for the sentiment)

  • Cricut Maker

  • Sizzix Big Shot

  • Plain cardstock

  • Acetate sheet

  • Foam tape

  • Glue

  • Shaker bits (I used small pink flowers)

Coloring Details (Ohuhu Markers)

  • Body: Y2, Y3

  • Beak: YR33

  • Clothes: PB1, B120

  • Heart: R1, R2

Instructions: Step-by-Step

1. Cut a piece of cardstock to 4.25 x 5.5 inches – this is the base of your shaker.




2. Cut acetate to the same size (4.25 x 5.5 inches) – this will seal the shaker window.




3. Die-cut your border – I used Lawn Fawn’s Spring Flowers Backdrop dies, but any border or even a basic rectangle works!




4. Print and cut your focal point – Love Bird Owl Heart Valentine digi stamp from Polkadoodles.

5. Color the digi stamp using the Ohuhu colors listed above.




6. Choose your sentiment – I used the vinyl cut version of “Make a Wish” and cut it with my Cricut Maker. Printed sentiments work just as well.



7. Adhere the sentiment onto your shaker base. Plan the placement so your focal point (the owl) doesn’t cover it.




8. Add foam tape around all four edges of the shaker base to create the well for shaker bits.




9. Place your shaker bits (I used cute pink flower confetti).



10. Seal the shaker by adhering the acetate on top.




11. Glue the floral border die-cut on top of the acetate.




12. Attach your focal image (the owl) with foam tape for extra dimension.





13. Mount the entire shaker panel onto your card base – and you’re done!




This cheerful shaker card is perfect for birthdays and can be easily customized with different themes, colors, or embellishments. That sweet little owl is so adaptable—it’s not just for Valentine’s Day!

Here's another version I made with Polkadoodles' Honeypie Love Heart digistamp:

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...

10 Years Married: From 8AM Vows to Riyadh City Lights

I t feels like just yesterday when we said  I do  at 8AM — and I still remember thinking,  Why didn’t we make it 9 instead? Haha. But here we are, a decade into marriage, 14 years together, and living this unexpected chapter of our lives in Saudi Arabia. Watch our SDE here !💙 Currently, we’re based in  Al Ahsa , one of the oldest provinces in Saudi. For those unfamiliar, think of it as the  probinsya  version of Saudi — calm, rich in heritage, and definitely far from the city buzz. So for our 10th anniversary, we decided to shake (yesss - shake! lol) things up a bit and drive to  Riyadh , the capital. Imagine two  probinsyanas  from some quiet part of the Philippines heading to Manila — that was the vibe. The Road to Riyadh My favorite road sign! haha! We left Al Ahsa around 10AM and arrived in Riyadh a little past 1PM. (Yes, that’s 3+ hours on the road!) With check-in at the  Four Seasons Hotel  only starting at 4PM —  4PM, c...

All the Cricut MEA Prizes I’ve Won (So Far!)

I still remember the first time I joined Cricut MEA’s Ramadan Challenges back in March 2024. I was so excited to take part daily — crafting along with the community for almost 25 days straight — until I was told that Saudi Arabia couldn’t join. 😢 Fast forward to December 2024, and everything changed! Cricut MEA officially opened up the challenges to Saudi residents — and I didn’t waste a second. I jumped right into their Christmas Countdown Challenges, and from then on, I’ve joined every single challenge they’ve hosted. December 2024 January 2025 February 2025 March 2025 And now… LOOK AT THIS LOOT! 😍 Watch my unboxing reel here. A huge, heartfelt thank you to Cricut and Monster Middle East for organizing such fun and inspiring events. My crafty heart is full, and my shelves… well, they might be full too. 😅 And of course, none of this would be possible without my husband, who has been 100% supportive of all my crafty adventures from day one. ❤️️ Stay tuned — I’ll be sharing more of w...
