HOMETOWN USA CELBRATION GIFT BOXES | with Miguel

Making boxes is something that I really like and even more so if they are celebratory! Today I bring you this great idea with the Hometown USA  collection.

After creating my boxes with the fun papers in the collection, I added Odds & Ends and Chit Chat pieces to decorate the front of the boxes.  I also added some fun bows I created with ribbon to decorate the box tops.

The Land that I Love Just Charming Clip is a perfect gift to add to my boxes!  Here I show you how it looks so spectacular inside!

Thank you for stopping by!  I hope as always that my work inspires you to create with the beautiful Doodlebug products. See you soon.

BUNNY HOP - BUNNY ACCORDION MINI ALBUM | with Kathy

I'm excited to be kicking off a month of Bunny Hop inspiration!  Doodlebug's Easter collections are always a favorite, and ADORABLE, and Bunny Hop does not disappoint.  I combined the collection with a couple of the coordinating SVG Files to create this fun Easter-themed mini.  Take a peek...

I started with the Bunny Hop Bunny Boy and the Bunny Hop Fancy Egg SVG files which can be found in the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop.  I used them to create the base of my album using chipboard, textured cardstock and papers from the collection.  I used the chipboard to give it sturdiness, and so that it would stand up for display.  I played with the Egg file in my Silhouette to create a shaker for my album cover.  I filled the egg sections with the new lily white and bunnies and chicks shakers.  My title is from the Chit Chat Pack.  I just love the overalls on that Bunny!

Since the album stands on it's own, I wanted the back to look as cute as the front for display.  I added the overalls on the bunny back, and I just couldn't resist a little pom-pom bunny tail!  To keep my album closed when standing, I added a ribbon tie that closes with some Velcro Dots.

The album is a simple accordion style for the pages.  I copied egg shapes in Silhouette, overlapped them slightly and welded them together.  I cut them from the coordinating textured cardstock pack.  All that was left was to decorate the pages!

I started by covering each "page" with papers from the 6x6 Pad using a stitched egg shaped die from my stash.  I then added photo spots (rectangle & stitched dies) and decorated them using all the fun goodies from the collection... This & That Stickers, Odds & Ends, Icon Stickers, Shaped Sprinkles, Chit Chats and Bits & Pieces.   I love an accordion album because you can use both sides of the pages.  Here are some close-ups of the first "side" of the pages.  

I made a couple of pockets by cutting another egg, cutting it in half and gluing around the edges to form the pocket.  This made a perfect spot to hold a tag from the Bits & Pieces for journaling. The tag toppers were done using ribbon from my stash and my tiny-attacher stapler.

Here is the other side of the album pages...

I'm so happy with how this turned out... it's always great when things turn out like you envisioned!  I put together a quick video showing the album in motion, you can see it on my YouTube Channel here.

CUTE & CRAFTY SEWING KIT | with Ashley

Hi All! Today I am sharing my first project using the adorable new Cute & Crafty collection. There are a lot of stitching elements in this collection so I decided to make a little on-the-go sewing kit. 

 

I started with 5 of the 12x12 patterned papers and turned them into little envelopes. I tucked the flap of one of the envelopes into the opening of another and repeated this process until I had a little booklet. 

From there I embellished using the sticker sheets, ephemera packs, and sprinkles from the collection. 

In each of the pockets, I tucked in some little on the go items you'd need in an emergency sewing kit. I have some thread, needles, buttons, and ribbon. The buttons and ribbons are from the Sweet Shoppe Assortment pack. I tried to keep it relatively flat so that it would still shut nicely, and there is still a little space for notes or small photos. 

I finished the front of the booklet with some shape sprinkles from the collection and some petite twine for a closure.  I hope you liked seeing this project. Happy Crafting!
