Ghost Town Halloween Tags

Hello again Doodlebug friends!  October has been an awesome month for Doodlebug fans because we’ve been treated to two adorable new collections! Today I’m playing with Ghost Town, the newest (and cutest) Halloween Collection. Halloween of course is all about tricks and treats, so for my 'treats' this year I decided to make tags with sweet little Halloween scenes, here’s a look:
 
 
These little tags came together easily with just a few elements. I cut all my tag layers using a metal tag die set.  I used the Ghost Town 6x6 and Petite Prints Buffalo Check 6x6 paper pads for the base and subsequent layers.  

 
I used small banner dies and the Ghost Town stamp set for the sentiments.  Ok, that little frog on the back of the scooter is hilarious!  

 
Aren’t these costumed kiddos the cutest?  They are all images from the Icon sticker sheet popped up on foam squares. I also used moon, star and cloud Shape Sprinkles for some of the scenes.  

 
Here’s just one idea for using tags this size. I love all of the seasonal soaps that are out this time of year and sometimes I give them as small gifts to friends and family.   



All they need are cute gift tags tied to them!  That’s it for me today, I hope this project sparked a little creative inspiration in you!  Happy crafting!

Pumpkin Spice Cards and Tags

Hello Doodlebug friends! I’m excited to share my first project using the perfect new Fall themed Pumpkin Spice Collection.  When I got my hands on this adorable collection I had a few ideas for what I wanted to create (I couldn’t decide on just one thing) so I decided to make a couple of different cards and a trio of tags. First up are the two cards. One is a pop up, shadow box card with several of the cute critters from the icon sticker sheet. The second card is A2 sized using the Hay There Doodle Pop scarecrow sticker as the focal point.  
 
 
I know there are lots of creatives out there who make dimesional cards without the help of metal dies or digital cutting machines, but I’m not one of them lol! I need all the guesswork done for me, so this shadow box is made from a metal die set.  The base is cut from the new Kraft Buffalo Check double sided paper.  The woodgrain print on the inside is perfect for my critter scene.  
 
 
I used pistachio gingham and linen pattern paper to get the look of a sky in the background and popped up the sun, cloud and tree icon stickers with foam squares.  I have 3 grassy panels where I arranged the critters peeking out and waving.  I know I packed a lot of images in a small scene but how could I not?  The Thank You banner sentiment across the top is from the Odds and Ends Chit Chat die cuts, embellished with acorn Sprinkle stickers on either side.  
 
 
The A2 card is layered using 3 pattern papers from the Pumpkin Spice 6x6 paper pad as well a gigham and linen petite print pattern paper for the back panel. Again, I used Odds and Ends Chit Chat dies for the sentiments.
 
 
For the three tags I used a metal tag die set and papers from the Pumpkin Spice 6x6 pad and the Buffalo Check Petite Print 6x6 pad.  For my scenes I used lots of Shape Sprinkles and a few Icon Cardstock stickers.

 
Hello adorable falling leaves and mushrooms!

 
I can’t get enough of these happy little Sunflower Sprinkles, I made two tags with their cute faces.
 
 


Seriously how cute are those pumpkins?  I’m sure you will have as much fun as I did playing with this new awesome Fall Collection.  Be sure to share your projects on social media and tag #doodlebugdesign so we can see what you are creating!  Have a great day!
