DOODLEBUG SHAKERS RAINBOW GIFT SET | with Tya

Hi there crafty friends! It was so much fun getting to play with the brand-new D.I.Y Snow Globes this month! I don't know about you, but it has been a little dreary in my neck of the woods and I knew I wanted to brighten things up so I used the super bright and happy "Over the Rainbow" collection and a few Doodle Pops from the "Bunny Hop" collection to create this fun little gift ensemble which includes a snow globe, a cute shaker lid container, and a whimsical Tag Flip!

To make the Snow Globe, I used the 6x6 Rainbow Wishes paper with the cloud background and layered up some Odds and Ends, and the cute "Hello Sunshine" Doodle Pop to make a little sky scene. I added some of the "Gnome Sweet Gnome" 6x6 paper and traced the base of the Snow Globe onto it. I then added it to my Snow Globe base and decorated that section with a cloud, a button tied with some yellow twine, and some cute yellow pom-pom trim to finish it up.

I used the Cupcake, Bubblegum, Ladybug, Tangerine, Bumblebee, Limeade, and Swimming Pool Shaker Balls to fill up the Snow Globe. Aren't they so much fun?

Next, I created this cute little container with a shaker lid! Believe it or not, this is made from a small Pringles Can and a 3-inch plastic ornament half to make the shaker lid. I fell in love with this little technique and can see myself making oodles of these! They are the perfect way to showcase all of my favorite Doodle Pops! They are so fun to fill up too!

To cover my Pringles can, I used a 4 1/2 x 10-inch strip of Over the Rainbow Stripe paper. I then added two of the decorative border strips from the Lucky Me paper. I added the "It's a Rainbow Kind of Day" die cut to the front of the can with some foam tape. I also added some cute yellow pom-pom trim to the top of the border strip along the bottom of the can. Cute colors abound here!

To make the lid, I added some lightweight chipboard strips behind the clouds on the "Hello Sunshine" Doodle Pop. This made it fit well in the dome. I added a 3-inch cardstock circle on top of the plastic lid and then glued the Doodle Pop down with hot glue. I added the Shaker Balls to the dome and then centered the dome on top of the lid. The dome is held onto the top of the lid with hot glue. This is so fun to shake up!

On the inside of the container, I did a quick little tag flip and featured some of my favorite pieces of the "Over the Rainbow" collection. It fit perfectly, ribbons and all, inside the container!

As you can see, the first tag on the page is a shaker tag that was decorated with some pattern papers, and acetate. The shaker balls were a great interactive element for the cover tag on this little flip!

Here are the tags I did! Lots of layering of 6x6 papers, Odds and Ends, Chit Chat, and Puffy Stickers!

Getting to play with the Snow Globe and Shaker Balls was such a delight and I am thrilled with how this little set turned out. I plan on giving it to a cute niece of mine to brighten her day! Thank you so much for spending a little time here on the Doodlebug Blog today! I hope you have the best day and we will see you all next time! Happy Crafting Friends!

HELLO AGAIN GIFT SET | with Tya

It has been so fun to get to be designing for Doodlebug again after my little hiatus. One of the things I love most is creating gift sets that I can use when I need them using my Doodlebug products and my trusty Silhouette Cameo! A match made in heaven for sure! I have a fun bag and a cute fun-fold card to share with you today all made using the amazing 'Hello Again" collection!

Let's look at each of the pieces up close! This adorable bag caught my eye because I had an identical one back in the day! You know the kind- made of plastic - just like my awesome jelly shoes! I knew it would be such a fun design to use to hold fun little gifts for someone special. The bag is cut out using a piece of the Bubblegum Textured cardstock found in the Hello Again Textured Cardstock pack. I used the Perforated Bag cut file from the Silhouette Store and cut it on my Silhouette.

I added the "For You" tag from the "Just Because" tag paper. I tied it to the back with some Beetle Black Chunky Twine. I also added a few butterflies from the "All Aflutter" Shape Sprinkles to the tag for some shine with the beautiful gold foil on the butterflies.

This fun card was also cut out on my Silhouette. I am such a huge fan of fun fold cards and I fell in love with this fun one. It is the French Door Easel Card Birthday Balloons cut file. I made the card base out of the Beetle Black Textured cardstock. I then added a few pieces cut out from the fun "Forever Flowers "paper. I omitted the birthday balloons on the cut file, and instead, added the "Thinking of You" cut-apart cards from the "Hello Again" paper.

I then layered the card up with the "Butterfly Bouquet" Doodle Pop. This was such a great dimensional element to my card front that really makes a statement!

The inside of the card needed some decorating, so I added a small strip of the "Forever Flowers" paper and added the "Love You" circle die cut from the Chit Chat, along with the small yellow flower that was on the Doodle Pop.

I had so much fun creating this little gift set! I hope I have inspired you to make one of these to give to your special someone in your life! The 'Hello Again" collection has so many fun products that take your gift-giving packaging that little something extra that says just how much they mean to you! Thank you so much for stopping by today! Happy Crafting Friends!

DOWN ON THE FARM GIFT SET | with Wanda

Did you know that we continually stock our 'All Occasion' collections until we replace them with a new version? So, if you have a favourite non-holiday themed collection that you would love to top up your products, you can! Simply mention it to your local scrapbook store or your on-line store and they can order what you are after. And just to refresh your memory on how adorable our 'All Occasion' collections are, we thought we'd have our design team create with one of our most popular ever... Down On The Farm.

Howdy, y'all! Wanda here on the blog with a fun card and gift box made with the super cute Down on the Farm Collection! Yee Haw! This collection is adorable and has so many elements to pick and choose for multiple themes. I have a few friends who love horses so I chose to use a 'horsey' theme for my card and gift box today. It truly makes me smile.

My finished card is an A2 card made from white cardstock. I layered pretty gingham paper and floral paper as my base. I cut out a pocket from one of the 12x12 papers and it was the perfect size for the front of a card. The pillow box can hold candies or money or a gift card. I made that using a punch board.

For the card, I attached the pocket using foam tape around the edges. I tucked in a little paper bandana! I also glued some flowers from the Odds & Ends pack to the inside of the pocket. I tucked in a coffee card too!

For the gift box, I made it from that pretty blue patterned paper and wrapped it with a strip of bandana paper. I used one of the Jelly Clips to embellish the front of the box and to match back to the card.

 See how easily the gift card pops into the pocket?! 

I put on that adorable Giddy Up Doodle Pop and then the word bubble that says "howdy!" This could be a birthday card, grad card, or any time card!

 

 Here's a close up of the bandana and the flowers, and my paper layers!

That's it for me this time! I hope you're having a wonderful Spring and I hope I've inspired you to make something! I'll see you soon, and until then, keep on crafting!

LOTS OF LOVE RAINBOW GIFT SET | with Kathy

We are having glimpses of spring here in New England... some warmer days and sunshine (also some snow and sleet.... but it is New England...).  I even saw a rainbow the other day, which made me very happy!  It inspired me to make a fun gift set featuring the Lots of Love Collection and SVG Files.  Take a peek...

I was inspired by the cute rainbow and rainbow envelope icons in the collection.  I love that this collection is so much more than a Valentine themed collection, it carries right into spring!

My envelope box card was inspired by the Lots of Love Envelope Rainbow SVG.  For the card base I edited this file from Lori Whitlock, then added the rainbow and cute little face to the card.  I finished it with some Odds & Ends and a Chit Chat speech bubble.

My rainbow box was made by creating a small open-top box and sizing the Lots of Love Rainbow 3 SVG to cover both sides.  I added a cloud from the Odds & Ends filled it with some gold wrapped truffles that I managed not to eat before my photo shoot, lol.  

That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

PUMPKIN SPICE GIFT SET | with Kathy

I'm excited to be kicking off a couple of weeks of Pumpkin Spice inspiration!  I love Fall.  It is my favorite season.  The apples, pumpkins, warm sweaters and colorful leaves just call my name!  Needless to say, the Pumpkin Spice collection makes me ridiculously happy.  I decided to put together a Pumpkin Spice Gift Set.  It would be perfect for a good friend or a favorite teacher, take a peek...

As soon as I saw the adorable little to-go coffee cup image in the Odds & Ends Pack, I knew I wanted to make a 3D version!  I started with this file from Lori Whitlock, and put it together using the Forest Friends and Autumn Weave papers.  The cover is made from the new Bumblebee Buffalo Check-Woodgrain cardstock.   For the face, I borrowed some pieces from the Coffee to Go SVG from the Cream & Sugar Collection.

The cover comes off so you can add a sweet treat!  Maybe some pumpkin spice donut holes??  Just a suggestion.

To go with my sweet treat, I thought a good cup of Pumpkin Spice coffee would be perfect!  I made a this little tote which holds 2 K-Cups using this SVG file.  I used the Doodle-Cuts Large tag die for my tag, and decorated it with pieces from the Pumpkin Spice Odds & Ends and Chit Chat pieces.  I covered the top of the K-Cup with a 2" circle and added another chit chat piece and an acorn sprinkle from the new Happy Fall Shaped Sprinkles.

Have you made any projects using the new Pumpkin Spice Collection?  Make sure to tag Doodlebug Design on Facebook and Instagram so we can see!  We always love to look at your creations!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

BAR-B-CUTE GIFT SET | with Stephanie

Sunshine, rainbows, clouds and balloons all with the cutest little happy faces!  If you want to brighten someone’s day, these are the perfect images and sentiments to do just that!  Today I’m using the Bar-B-Cute collection which is all about Summertime fun, but Doodlebug collections are very versatile with plenty of sentiments for greeting cards and tags to play with too! Here’s a look at the assortment of cards I created around a sunshine and rainbow theme. 

For the first two cards, I used card bases from kits I had from other collections and layered both with 6x6 pattern paper as well as odds and ends and chit chat dies cut images and sentiments.  I used the Fun in the Sun Doodle Pop sicker and some enamel heart shape sprinkles to embellish. 

Up next are two tags and a ‘bag’ layered with lots more colorful papers die cuts, stickers, and smiley faces.  

I cut this pillow box with handle using my Silhouette machine and focal point using a Doodle Cuts Nesting Scallop die and Icon cardstock stickers.  The two small cards are cut apart journaling cards I layered with foam tape.

There are still plenty of sentiments and images to make more cards and tags so I plan to do that soon. I hope you have fun mixing and matching and layering all the cuteness in this adorable collection. 

Thanks for stopping by today!

LOTS O' LUCK GIFT SETS | with Stephanie Isom

Hello, Stephanie here - and I'm so excited to be posting my first project as part of the Doodlebug Design Team!  Today, I'm using the Lot's O' Luck Collection  which seems appropriate for March, and St. Patty's Day is in just a few days. My project includes tags, gift bags and small cards, all using the 6x6 paper pad, card stock stickers and odds and ends die pieces from this collection.  

Aren't the little leprechauns the cutest?  For the first bag I used this digital cut file from the Silhouette store and I used a tag die for the mini tag. For the scene I used stickers and some yellow-striped paper for the hill.  

For the second gift bag I used a generic black bag and layered pieces of patterned paper using two different sized banner dies.  I added the little leprechaun with foam squares then punched holes in the sentiment banners and shamrock and tied them to the handle with some beetle black doodle twine.  The small card is 3x3 and I just cut and scored that using regular white card stock and layered patterned paper and stickers for the scene and sentiment. 

And...since I had so much fun making the first set, I decided to make a rainbow Happy Birthday set. Lots O' Luck can definitely be used for more than just St. Patrick's Day! 

Such bright happy colors to work with!!

Hopefully these projects give you some inspiration to get working on your own tags and bags using the fun and versatile Lot's o' Luck Collection!  Happy Crafting!

LOVE NOTES GIFT SET | with Shellye

Who doesn't love cute, tiny jars? I found this duo at Target and fell in love with the sweet heart print on the lids!  Wanting to include the two jars together as a gift set, I even made a carrier box for them!

To get started, I used a large scallop and circle die to create the lid toppers.  I embellished with various die-cuts, doodle pop blue birds and enamel shaped hearts.

The jars measured 3.5" in diameter so to create the box I cut a piece of 12X12 paper down to 7" X 11" and scored (7") at 2" and 5"and the (11") at 2" and 9".  Next, I cut the square pieces along the four corners to make the flaps.  To the (inside) bottom of the box, I cut a piece of cardboard and covered with matching paper.  For the paper handle I doubled a strip of 1.5"X12" paper and attached with very strong adhesive tape.

The front of the box was simply decorated with a handcrafted bow with a large doodle button in the center.

Because the jars are fairly deep I was able to tuck in fairly substantial items inside!  

For the first jar I added a mini flip-album:

I used a mini jar die from my stash to cut the page pieces from the pistachio cardstock. Die cut scalloped mats were cut from various patterns from the 6X6 paper pad. I embellished the pages with hand-stitched X's, as well as little stickers and enamels.

To the second jar I added COPIC colored tags, layered embellishment bits, clips and doodle twine!

Lastly, I tucked some white crinkle shred around the jars and it's ready for my Valentine ♥
