Polkadoodles Digi Choosday - Week 18: Anything Goes!

Good morning everyone! I hope your day is off to a great start. If it's not, it CAN be - it's Choosday over at Polkadoodles! That means a new Digi Choosday challenge, and a new DISCOUNT CODE for the Polkadoodles shop! Head over to the blog to grab it before your shopping spree!

Today's challenge is, as always, Anything Goes! 

For today, I've created a FUN 3D triangle box - a small party favor box. You can find the template/instructions HERE (these are so quick and easy!). 

To start with, I printed out this fun background paper from Little Dudes Rugby/Football onto cardstock and cut it to size from the template. After I scored it and did a test fold, I sized and printed my sweet Boo image Party Friends onto Neenah white cardstock and colored with Copic Markers - I buy all of mine at Scrapbookpal.com for their fast shipping and awesome service. I colored the entire background with Copics as well. Stitched oval dies from Gina Marie Designs. The metal sentiment is from Making Memories and the ribbons and cords are all from my hoard of SU ribbons. I punched the holes with a square 1/4" hole punch I've had for FOREVER and used the ribbons to close it up. Decorations added with Scor-Tape and foam squares.

That's it for my project details! Don't forget to head over to the blog to grab today's discount code! Then shop your heart out. Choosday is the best day!

I used Lawn Fawn grass border die to cut my grass border out of Perfectly Plaid Sour Apple patterned paper. After stamping my sentiment and cutting background layers using Scalloped Stitched Rectangles and Scalloped Stitched Circles dies from Gina Marie Designs, I added some color! My clouds layer was created using the new Clouds Stencil from Time for Tea Designs and Distress Oxide ink, and the splatter on the sentiment layer is from sprays - Bubblegum Pink Dyelusions and Prima Sunshine.

Polkadoodles' Digi Choosday - Week 16: Anything Goes!

Good morning everyone! I hope your day is off to a great start. If it's not, it CAN be - it's Choosday over at Polkadoodles! That means a new Digi Choosday challenge, and a new DISCOUNT CODE for the Polkadoodles shop! Head over to the blog to grab it before your shopping spree!

Today's challenge is, as always, Anything Goes! 

For today, I've created a SERIOUS scene card...all the magic is going on INSIDE today. I'll admit, this project was waaaaaaaaaay outside of my comfort zone. HOWEVER, I'll also say...you guys, I love how this card turned out!! *in love*

Here's a peek of the project, all closed up, looking like it would when you took it out of the envelope. Sentiment is from Helga Hippo, and the purple flowers are from a Helga design sheet. Sun die is Waffle Flower, grass die is Rubbernecker. I've used a weathered wood technique on my Baja Breeze cardstock to simulate the look of wood fencing or siding.

Here you can see I've just opened up the door (die set) to take a peek into the garden. Someone's out there! Door dies are also available from LDRS in the USA.

Oh here we are. What a lovely place to visit! I could go for some flowers and butterflies myself right now, that's for sure! To create the inside of my card I've merged a background scene on this design sheet from Winnie Fruit Punch with the black and white Dandelion Days image. I've tucked her in behind the fence and the bee in order to create a little bit of a backyard jungle feel for her outdoor fun!

After I had my merged image ready, I printed it onto Neenah white cardstock and colored our little sweetie with Copic Markers - I buy all of mine at Scrapbookpal.com for their fast shipping and awesome service. I colored the entire background with Copics as well. Dies from Gina Marie Designs (Wonky Oval, Fishtail Banner and Scalloped Stitched Rectangles.

That's it for my project details! Don't forget to head over to the blog to grab today's discount code! Then shop your heart out. Choosday is the best day!

I added this photo (sorry about the shadows, grrrr...) to try to show some of the dimension I created while building this scene. Multiple layers of foam tape behind the waves, the bear, selected clours, and of course the floating treasure chest. It's Bear's lucky day I think!
