Digi Choosday Project | Halloween Card featuring Polkadoodles' Bat Girl Boo

It’s Digi Choosday again, and I’m back with a spooky cute Halloween card featuring Polkadoodles’ Bat Girl Boo digi stamp and a DIY ink-blended background! This card was so fun to make — I especially loved layering the Distress Oxides and playing with sparkly cardstock for a bit of Halloween magic. 



 Materials Used:

  • Cardstock: White, black, yellow, violet glitter, light violet glitter, grey glitter

  • Patterned Paper: Polkadoodles Boo Halloween set

  • Digi Stamp: Bat Girl Boo Halloween from Polkadoodles

  • Distress Oxide Inks: Wilted Violet, Villainous Potion, Seedless Preserves, Carved Pumpkin, Fossilized Amber

  • Blending Brush

  • Die Sets: Lawn Fawn Full Moon, Lawn Fawn Giant Trick or Treat

  • Ohuhu Alcohol Markers & Glitter Pens

  • Tools: Cutterpillar Pro, Cutterpillar Crease, Sizzix Big Shot

  • Adhesives: Bearly Art Glue, Foam Tape

How I Made It:

  1. Card Base: Cut white cardstock to 8 1/2” x 5 1/2” and score at 4 1/4”.

  2. Background Panel: Cut another white cardstock to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” and blend with Distress Oxides in this order: Seedless Preserves, Wilted Violet, Villainous Potion.







  3. Moon & Stars: Die cut a full moon using yellow cardstock and lightly blend with Carved Pumpkin and Fossilized Amber. Cut stars from grey glitter cardstock and a bat from black cardstock.





  4. Sentiment: Die cut “Trick or Treat” in black, then cut the same sentiment in violet and light violet glitter cardstock. Cut the excess from the words and layer over the black for a shadowed look. 












  5. Also die cut a bat in black cardstock and stars using black glitter cardstock from this die set.











    Digi Stamp: I colored Bat Girl Boo with Ohuhu alcohol markers (listed below) and added shimmer with glitter pens in black, orange, and yellow.

    CG050, CGII00, CGII07, BG050, R18, YR3, GY2, P4, V230, Y030, Y3, Y1, Y4, R21, YR070, Y2



  6. Assembly: Arrange all elements onto your blended background. Use foam tape for the digi to add dimension.






  7. Finishing Touch: Cut Polkadoodles Boo Halloween patterned paper to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2” and glue behind your panel. Adhere everything to your card base.






I love how this card turned out — spooky but sweet, and super fun to make!

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” ...
