Digi Choosday Project | You Paint My World Happy Card featuring Polkadoodles' Female Painter

This week’s Polkadoodles Digi Choosday project is a colorful thank-you card made for those wonderful people who make our lives brighter! I used the Female Painter digi stamp from Polkadoodles and created a rainbow watercolor background to match her cheerful vibe. The best part? I finally got to use my Motex label maker for the sentiments!



Materials Used:

  • White cardstock
  • CutterPillar Pro paper trimmer
  • CutterPillar Crease score board

  • Colored/plain cardstock

  • Digi stamp: Polkadoodles Female Painter Digi Stamp

  • Ohuhu Alcohol Markers

  • Ohuhu Glitter Markers (silver and orange)

  • Motex Embossing Label Maker

  • Roco Watercolor

  • Paige Evans Epoxy Stickers

  • Bearly Art Precision Glue

  • Foam Tape




Instructions:

  1. Prepare your card base: cut to 8½” x 5½”, score at 4¼” to make an A2 card.

  2. Cut colored cardstock to 4⅛” x 5⅜”.



  3. Cut white cardstock to 4” x 5¼”.



  4. Watercolor your white cardstock background. I painted vertical rainbow color panels. Tip: Stick to adjacent rainbow colors (e.g., red next to orange, orange next to yellow) to avoid muddy blending. Let this dry.





  5. While drying, color your digi stamp using the following Ohuhu Alcohol Marker colors:

    YR33, YR2, Y10, R23, R1, R2, BG68, BG5, BG6, R18, RV260, GY172, GY7, GY4, YR148, Y145, GG1, CGII04

    I also added some sparkle using silver and orange Ohuhu Glitter Markers.


  6. Once the watercolor background is dry, glue it onto the colored cardstock.




  7. Use foam tape to adhere this panel to your card base.




  8. Use foam tape again to add your digi stamp for extra dimension.


  9. Embellish with epoxy stickers that match your watercolor palette.



  10. Use your label maker to create and add the sentiments: “you paint my world happy” and “thank you.”



This was such a fun card to make, and I love how it turned out! I hope this inspires you to make something for the color-bringers in your life too.

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...
