It’s November!!! This week's Happy Planner Layout

This week’s Happy Planner layout is flowery — because, well, people in Manila are currently bringing flowers to the cemetery for All Saints’ and All Souls’ Day. Haha! Joke lang. What actually happened was: what I  wanted  for this layout didn’t quite work out, so I ended up adding flowers and leaves instead. Hence, that curved floral thingy smacked right in the middle of the spread. Such an  ugh  layout, but oh wells. I used the  Happy Memory Keeping Floral Memories  and  The Encourager  sticker books for this week’s spread. Sentiment for the week:   Girl, you are super amazing. Crafty things I worked on last week  I finally turned my  Bee Happy Weeklies Aall & Create “paper dolls”  into cards ! It was a little #Inktober inspired project I worked on one afternoon just so I could play with my Distress Oxides again. I made a  hybrid scrapbook layout  for  Traci Reed’s Sketchy Sunday  — it’s a layout for my...

Birthday Platform Pop-up Card featuring Polkadoodles’ Noodle Panda Bear Birthday Surprise

For this week’s Digi Choosday project, I made a fun and festive Birthday Platform Pop-up Card using the adorable Noodle Panda Bear Birthday Surprise digi stamp from Polkadoodles. I love how this style of card gives you so much room to play with dimension, color, and embellishments—it really feels like a party in card form!







Materials Used

  • Sizzix Big Shot

  • Cricut Maker

  • Bearly Art Glue

  • Glue Gun

  • Pompom Ribbon

  • Cardstock

  • Lawn Fawn Platform Pop-Up Dies

  • Lawn Fawn Platform Pop-Up Add-On

  • Cricut Vinyl in Black

  • Pattern Paper – Polkadoodles Noodle Panda Set 1


Instructions

If you’ve followed my previous Platform Pop-Up card tutorial, you’ll recognize the basic steps. We’ll start by following steps 1–3 from that post, with one small adjustment:

Add extra strips to the T-strips to make them sturdier and able to hold more embellishments.







Now let’s build the birthday fun:

  1. Assemble the platform pop-up as instructed.







  2. Cut the base backdrop using the Lawn Fawn Platform Pop-Up Add-On in the same cardstock color as your platform. For mine, I used a cheerful blue.



  3. Die cut the backdrop panels with the included dies from the add-on set. I used a colorful striped paper from Noodle Panda Set 1.



  4. Adhere the panels to the main backdrop base.






  5. Add your digi stamp (Noodle Panda Bear Birthday Surprise) to the platform— it’s the star of the show!



  6. Cover the platform panels with pattern paper cut using the Lawn Fawn dies to keep everything neat, cute and coordinated.

  7. Attach the backdrop securely to your platform pop-up.




  8. Decorate with pompom ribbon along the base of the platform for extra cuteness and texture.




  9. Fussy cut gifts from the gift pattern paper in the Noodle Panda Set (I have a fussy cutting tips video you can check out for help).




  10. Adhere the gifts around your platform to create a festive, 3D birthday scene. 



11.  Add your sentiment. You can personalize this part however you like—write directly on the front panel, stamp your greeting, or even print it out before adhering the panel. For mine, since I had already glued down the yellow panel, I used my Cricut to cut the sentiment “It’s your special day” from the Noodle Panda Themed Sentiments set on black vinyl sticker, then placed it neatly on the panel.


And that’s it—your birthday platform pop-up card is ready to celebrate! 

Join the Fun!

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” ...
