Digi Choosday Project | A Sweet Layered Card featuring Polkadoodles Blossoming Winnie

Today I’m sharing a soft and whimsical card featuring one of my all-time favorite characters from Polkadoodles—Winnie! This card is packed with layered details, fluttering butterflies, delicate florals, and soft vellum, making it the perfect gentle and feminine design for any occasion.





I had so much fun putting this card together and thought I’d share the full how-to in case you’d like to make something similar!


Materials Used:

  • Plain cardstock (pink and white)

  • Digi Stamp: Blossoming Winnie from Polkadoodles

  • Pattern Paper: Winnie’s Let’s Hangout Bundle from Polkadoodles

  • Vellum Paper

  • Blooming Window Dies – Mama Elephant

  • Butterfly Dies

  • Little Birdie Handmade Flowers

  • Pearl Stick-ons

  • Ohuhu Alcohol Markers

  • Ohuhu Glitter Pens (Silver)

  • Bearly Art Glue

  • Surebonder Glue Gun

  • Sizzix Big Shot (for die cutting)

  • Caterpillar Pro (for paper trimming)

Step-by-Step Instructions:


1. Prepare your card base

Cut white cardstock to 8.5” x 5.5” and score at 4.25” on the long side to create a standard A2 top-fold card base.


2. Cut your card layers

Cut a pink cardstock panel to 4.25” x 5.5”.

Cut a patterned paper panel (I used a floral design from the Winnie’s Let’s Hangout bundle) to 4” x 5.25”.




Glue the patterned paper onto the pink panel using Bearly Art Glue.


3. Create the window frame

Using the Blooming Window Die by Mama Elephant, die cut a window shape from white cardstock. The die creates the window holes, but not the outer frame, so I hand-cut the upper part into a curved shape to match the arch.

Glue a piece of vellum behind the window to soften the background.






4. Attach the window

Glue the window (with vellum) over your patterned panel using Bearly Art Glue or a glue gun for extra hold.



5. Die cut butterflies

Die cut butterflies from plain cardstock and vellum. Layer them for dimension, or keep them separate for a more delicate look.


6. Color your digi stamp

I used a sweet Winnie digi stamp from Polkadoodles and colored her with Ohuhu Alcohol Markers in the following shades:

  • Hair: Y030, GY6, Y3

  • Flowers: RV260, YR240, G120, MG020

  • Skin: R18

  • Clothes & Shoes: B030, B050

  • Accents: Silver Ohuhu Glitter Pen



7. Assemble your embellishments

Glue your colored Winnie, butterflies, flowers, and pearl stick-ons to the card. I love mixing adhesives—Bearly Art Glue for precision, and my Surebonder glue gun when I need a little extra hold for heavier elements like flowers.


8. Adhere everything to the card base

Once your panel is fully decorated, attach it to your card base using strong glue or double-sided tape. And you’re done!


This card is a little dreamy, a little dainty, and definitely full of love 💗

If you enjoyed this project, I’d love for you to check out the feature over at Polkadoodles—and don’t forget to join us for Digi Choosday for weekly inspiration and awesome deals!

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...

Happy Cutie-versary, Kelly Bangs!

Can you believe it’s been  five whole years  of Cutie craftiness?! Kelly Bangs is celebrating her 5th Cutie-versary, and as the Design Squad is joining in on the fun!   To mark the occasion, I made a mini album using a mix of some of my favorite Cutie-versary elements — like the adorable Cutie Pie trophies, Florals Greatest Hits (for florals are forever a fave!), The Shape Parade (tags and squares), Mini Guest Checks, and those sweet Scout Friends. It’s a cheerful little project that made me smile from start to finish… even with a  tiny  hiccup. Here’s the funny part: I finished decorating all the inside pages first — each one carefully layered with a piece from The Shape Parade (square) then I went ahead and glued the cover on  upside down.  😅 So now all the pages (especially the ones with the letters and number print) are technically flipped. But honestly? That’s one of the things I love most about crafting — the little mistakes that turn into happ...
