Digi Choosday Project | Boxed Christmas Notelet Set featuring Polkadoodles

This week’s Digi Choosday challenge is to create a set of notelets you can gift or sell, packaged in a box or wallet. I decided to create a second notelet set—this time not just for myself but as a more hands-on project where I cut, glued, and crafted each piece from scratch!

For this version, I used some of my favorite Polkadoodles Christmas-themed goodies and a mix of tools and materials to bring this festive set to life.

Materials Used:

• White Cardstock

• Pattern Papers: Polkadoodles Christmas Paper Patterns 2

• Sentiments: Happy Happy Christmas from Polkadoodles’ Christmas Greetings Sentiment Printable Stamp

• Glitter Cardstock (in scraps—yay for stash busting!)

• Cricut Maker

• Circle Puncher

• Ribbon

• Bearly Art Glue

• Enamel Dots

• Buttons

• Surebonder Glue Gun

• Cutterpillar Pro Paper Trimmer & Score Board

📏 How to Make the 3x3 Notelets:

1. Cut six pieces of 3x6 white cardstock, score in the middle at 3”, then fold and burnish.

   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   

2. Trim pattern papers to 2 ¾” x 2 ¾” and glue them to the front of each card.

   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   

3. Cut your sentiments into circles using Cricut Design Space:

   • Upload your sentiment and flatten it onto a shape.

     Pick your preferred sentiment and upload it to Design Space.

     When you get to the Background Remover, do not click on anything and just proceed to Apply & Continue

     Next screen will be Convert Upload To. Choose Flat Graphic then click on Continue.

     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     

   • Duplicate 7x: one for each notelet, and one for the box.

     
     
     
     

4. Punch 7 glitter cardstock circles using a circle punch.

   
   
   
   
   
   
   

5. Adhere each sentiment to a glitter circle with hot glue.

   
   
   

6. Use foam tape (plus a dab of glue for extra security) to mount these on the cards.

   
   
   
   

7. Add buttons and red enamel dots to each card for a festive touch.

   • 2 pieces of 2⅞” x 2⅞” and 2 pieces of 2⅞” x 1” patterned paper.

     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     

   • A layered sentiment, button, and enamel dot on the front.
