PETITE PRINTS MY GIRL LAYOUT | with Nathalie

Aren't we all loving the new Petite Prints collection? The rainbow of opportunities with it is just infinite, which makes it easy to pick a palette to suit your design. Let me show you what I have created.

The contrast of the pink walls against the blue dress was the starting point for my page. After narrowing my color palette to these colors, I added a pop of green and got started.

I used a hexagon die to cut a few of the 6x6 Petite Print papers for the background of my page. I punched the holes, and tied them to a 8.5x11 white cardstock base using coordinating Doodle Twine. Then, I matted the cardstock on Cupcake candy stripe/dot paper.

Next, I pulled my Doodle Cuts Hello Fall die set and cut a few flowers that matched the colors of the papers I am using. I combine this with pieces from Love Notes to create the clusters in each hexagon.

To finish the page, I added a few stickers from Love Notes around the clusters, and created a larger cluster of flowers around the photo. I am using the new puffy alphas to add the title under the photo.

Lastly, I added a few puffy shapes around the hexagons, and it is ready for some journaling! I just love how easily this came together using Petite Prints. I cannot wait to see what you create with them, too! XO

VALENTINE MAILBOXES | with Stephanie

Hello Doodlebug friends! Stephanie here, sharing two little Valentine Mailboxes featuring lots of lovely Doodlebug colors, textures and images! It’s been a few years since my kids have made Valentines for classmates and friends, but I still love creating projects for this fun holiday! Here’s a look at my project for today.   

 

I used my Silhouette machine to cut this mailbox from Lori Whitlock.  For the main part of the boxes I used Wood Grain/Buffalo Check petite prints in Pistachio and Bubblegum. The accent colors and images are all from the Love Notes collection. I added some heart shaped Sprinkles in a few places for a little shine.  

 

 

The cut file comes with a tiny envelope that fits into the opening. How cute is that? 

 

 

Here’s a look at the second box.  All the images I used to embellish my boxes are die cuts from the Love Notes Chit Chat and Odds and Ends packs.

 

Surprise, the little door opens and you can pull out the notes. 

 

If you are looking for an adorable little box to give or receive some fun Valentine’s, this is it! That’s it for my project share, thanks for stopping by today!

VALENTINE'S EXPLOSION BOX | with Traci

Hello friends!  I have a really fun project to share with you today!  I was trying to come up with some different ideas for my Valentine gifts this year and I found this adorable explosion box on Lori Whitlock's site.  I paired the cutting file with some adorable Doodlebug petite prints and how stinkin' cute is this!?

I used petite prints for most of the project, but I threw in a cute pattern from the Love Notes collection for the front of the birdhouse.  Doodlebug plaids always make me happy!

The roof is pistachio (my fave doodlebug color these days) buffalo check/woodgrain and the dot print is my second favorite color (cherry)!  Who am I kidding ... ALL Doodlebug colors are my favorite.  That sweet little bird on the front can be found hanging out with the DoodlePop Hen and Chick :) and the heart is a DoodlePop called Be Mine.

When you open the explosion box, a fun little bird is hanging out inside, along with two pockets made of lemon linen (that's fun to say, LOL) that would be cute for pictures, notes, or gift cards! 

So if you'd like to wow someone this Valentine's Day (or birthday, or any occasion!) you can find Lori's explosion box cutting file here .  Add a few petite prints, your favorite Doodlebug patterns, and some DoodlePops or Odds and Ends and you'll have a darling gift in no time!  Thanks so much for stopping by!

LOVE NOTES PET LAYOUT | with Erica

Hey friends! Do you document photos of your furry friends? Today I wanted to create a 12x12 scrapbook layout using the Love Notes collection to document a photo I recently shot of our sweet Pitbull Lola and I! She is always very close to me if not right next to me at all times.

I thought the Doodlebug Design Love Notes collection would be perfect to use with this photo. I printed my photo at home and used the PicFrame app to turn it into a square and it is sized about 3.5x3.5 and printed in black and white. I wanted to add my photo in the center of my page so I went with a vertical design keeping most elements going down the center of the page.

I did want to make sure to frame the layout so I added some strips of pretty pattern paper from the collection and added them to the left and right of the page. I really wanted to the photo and title to be the main focus of my layout and love the sweet pieces you can use as titles in the Love Notes chit chat packs!

I used the new Sunshine alpha in Cupcake to spell out Lola Beans to finish off my title. I love the size of this new alpha set and want to use it all the time! The Love Notes odds & ends include these super cute heart banner die cuts that I have been wanting to use and I think they were perfect for the top and bottom of my page. I glued them down directly to the page so that when I went in with some more embellishments I could pop them up around everything.

I added some cute bird stickers to add to the page and popped them up on some foam adhesive. I really wanted to add some clouds to the page as well so I mixed some cloud die cuts with some of the mini icon cloud stickers. To finish off the layout I added some love assortment sprinkles. Here is a look at my completed layout using the Love Notes collection.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.

LUNCH BOX NOTES | with Stephanie

Hello Doodlebug Friends! I have a fun project to share today featuring new Sunshine Alphabet Stickers and Confetti Shape Sprinkles.  I was actually searching Pinterest for 'Back to School' project inspiration and tons of Lunch Box Note printables came up and I thought, hey I could make up my own little cards using tons of Doodlebug goodies.  

I made a total of nine cards, using products from many of the collections Doodlebug has released this year.  

I die cut two layers for each card, popping the scalloped layer up with foam tape.  I chose a short and simple sentiment for each card and used the Sunshine Alphabet stickers for the words I wanted to stand out and emphasize.

 I used lots of stickers around my phrases and Confetti Sprinkles for added color and shine. 

The possibilities for these little cards are endless, you could use whatever collections you have. The cards are approximately 3x4” so these are great if you have smaller pieces of paper left over from your 6x6 paper pads.

I have to admit once I got going on these, I had a lot of fun coming up with the phrases and creating each new card!  And they don’t necessarily have to go in lunches either, add them to a candy bar or other treat to give to a loved one or friend letting them know you are thinking of them.  I hope you have fun making some of your own little cards, and if you do, be sure to share them with us on social media using #doodlebugdesign. Have a wonderful day!

USING WASHI TAPE ON YOUR LAYOUTS | with Maryám

Are you one of those people who have lots of washi tape rolls and had no idea how to use them? This is Maryám and today I'm going to be sharing a fun and colorful way on how to use washi tapes on a scrapbook layout.

To create my layout I started by cutting a piece of white cardstock at 4.5" x 11" inches. Next, I gathered some of my favorite colors from the Swiss Dot Washi Tape collection, rotated the paper about 45º degrees, and started adding washi tapes stripes in rainbow order.

The colors I used are- Cupcake, Bubblegum, Lady Bug, Tangerine, Bumblebee, Limeade, and Swimming Pool.

Next, I cut from the washi tape panel two stripes of 0.5" inches and adhered them on both ends of the page, and adhere the 4" inches panel at about 1 inch apart from the left border.

To embellish the page, I pulled out some of the embellishments the Love Notes collection and added some of my favorite stickers. I also added some shape sprinkles and sugar-coated sprinkles from the same collection for more texture and fun.

For the title, I adhered the Love You Bunches doodle-pop towards the left side of my photo and added a "love this" banner from the Chit Chat die cut set.

To finish up the page, I added some words stickers from the This&That sticker sheet with the help of foam dots.

Now, let's take a look at the finished layout.

That is it for today! I hope you guys enjoyed this post and liked the ideas I shared. Also, don’t forget that if you have any questions just leave a comment below or send me an email. Thanks for stopping by :)

Have an awesome day!

NSD 2020 - THE CUTEST POP TARTS EVER | with Jennifer

Hello, Doodlebug fans. Just "popping" in to share this fun new project for International Scrapbook Day 2020.  For this piece, I used the adorable pastry and toaster file from the So Punny collection, and I love how it turned out.

For the front and sides of the toaster, I used a combination of prints from the Love Notes collection. The floral print is quite busy, so to help the face standout, a white shape outlined with some chunky twine was applied, then the eyes, mouth, and cheeks were added. 

Don't these pop-tarts look yummy? I used cardstock to create them, then mounted them to foam board. A scalloped border was glued around the sides of each pop-tart to finish them off.

A toaster is useless without a plug. So I decided to add one. Two strands of chunky twine glued together created the cord. Layers of chipboard make up the plug.

Thanks for joining me today and have fun scrapping on NSD 2020

DIY COLORING CLIPBOARDS | Maryám

During these crazy uncertain times, our lives are changing in ways we would never imagine and our reality is now a different one. Since most of us are staying at home right now, I thought it would be fun to share some simple DIY coloring clipboards to make with the kids.

I was inspired by the Doodlebug clipartTM line of clipboards to create mine. I started by cutting a piece of 2mm recycled chipboard sheet to about 4" x 5" inches. Next, I choose some pattern paper from my Doodlebug 6 x 6 paper pads and wrap the chipboard piece. I used liquid adhesive for this step.

Once I covered the entire piece of chipboard, I punched two holes on the top part with a distance of about 1.75" inches from each other and put an eyelet to protect them.

After that, I needed to make the coloring pages. To do this, I cut a 12" x 12" sheet of white cardstock in pieces of 3" x 4" inches, rounded the bottom corners, grabbed a bunch of my Doodle StampsTM and stamped different images. 

Each clipboard has ten pages. For some, I stamped little scenes and for some others, I just stamped one image so the kids can have fun creating their own scenes.

Following this, I punch holes at top of the coloring pages as well and used Doodlebug chunkybradsTM to keep them in place. In the end, I embellish each clipboard with some washi tape and stickers to give it more fun and interest.

Now, it is your turn to create coloring clipboards and spread some joy! Personally, I'll get my clipboards ready and will send them to my little cousins so they can have some fun coloring during the quarantine. 

I hope you guys enjoyed this new project and liked the ideas I shared. Also, don’t forget that if you have any questions you can always leave a comment below and I’ll be happy to help you.

Have a wonderful day!

LOVE NOTES LAYOUT | with Maryám

One of my favorite things from the Love Notes Collection are the flowers from the "I pick you" Odds & Ends set. If you have already seen my previous projects using this collection you will know that I have used these beautiful flowers before, but today I'm going to share a new and different way of how to use them.

For today's project, I was inspired by the Sending Love Doodle-PopsTM, so what I did was start by creating an envelope out of "love you bunches" paper. Next up, I took from flowers and leaves form the "I pick you" Odds & Ends set and hand stitching around them. 

To add even some more texture to the flowers, I added liquid adhesive on certain spots of some flowers, then I grabbed my Sugar CoatingTM glitter assortment and sprinkled some glitter onto them, and to finish I added glitter SprinklesTM on the center of them.

For the title, I combined the Teensy Type Alphabet Stickers with the Abigail Stickers to spell out "Bloom & Grow" and adhered them onto vellum paper which I cut it as a banner shape and tucked it under the photo.

Last but not least, I added some more sprinklesTM here and there and some Mini Icons stickers. You can check out the full video tutorial here or watch it in HD on my YouTube channel.

And that's it for today! I hope you guys enjoyed this new project and liked the ideas I shared. Also, don’t forget that if you have any questions just leave a comment below or send me an email. I’ll be happy to help you.

Have a wonderful day!
