Card and Tag Assortment / Land That I Love

I am absolutely in love with Doodlebug's new Land that I Love Collection! And there’s just something special about the red, white and blue color combination that makes me happy. It’s awesome for 4th of July cards, layouts, albums and other projects, but doesn’t always have to be just for that! For today’s project I created an assortment of cards and tags using a bunch of elements from this adorable collection. Here’s a look:  

First up is my slimline card. This card meausres approximately 3 1/2" by 8 1/2” and what I love about this size, is that it opens up the possibility to use longer elements in the odds and ends die cut packs, like the cute banners and phrases. The hello sentiment is a die from the All Occasion Doodle Cuts set which I cut 3 times and layered to give it a little dimension. I used some Doodle Pop and Sprinkles stickers to embelish my scene. 

Next are two cards measuing approximately 3"x 4”.  I used some of the 6x6 pattern papers and a couple of the Summer Streamers cut apart cards (which I trim down a little on every side) as well as Odds and Ends pieces that I layered on top, and adhere with foam tape for dimension.  The shape sprinkes are so dang cute, I use them all the time to give my projects an added pop of color and an element of glossy shine.

For some of my layers I used stiched pierced and scallop circle and square dies. 

Lastly, are the tiny 3”x 3” cards and a couple tags.  I used lots more 6x6 pattern paper, some square Cut Aparts and for the tags, of course more Doodle Pops!

I know you are going to love playing with this new Collection as much as I have and we can’t wait to see what you create- so be sure to share your projects on Doodlebug’s social media!

Hey Cupcake and Party Time Gift Tags

Doodlebug has recently come out with a whole collection of All Occasion stand alone die sets, so today I thought I would create gift tags using some of the new dies.  I love layereing and piecing tags together with different elements and giving gift boxes or bags with a little extra love. I’ve had so much fun playing with the Large and Mini Tags as well as the 6x6 cut apart papers, shape sprinkles, and mini jewels to create my project.

Below are the main elements I used.  I think the 6x6 cut apart strips and cards are always super cute, and the large tag die is the perfect size to put them on. For each tag, I die cut 2 tags from different pattern papers and trimmed and adhered the top portion of one to the other for the two piece, layered look.  I adhered my sentiment card in the middle with foam tape and glued one of the cut apart strips to the bottom of the tag with a liquid glue.

I cut some mini tags in different colors and stamped them with various sentiments and greetings from some of the new stamp sets.  I tied the mini tags to the large ones with doodle twine and a mini clothespin and finished them off by adding some shaped sprinkles and mini jewels.  

Of course, I had to make some tags using the Party Time collection as well! There are two different sizes of the main tag- and for the smaller one, I embellished with Doodle Pop stickers.

The party animals in this collection are the best! 

I know I’ve said this before, but I love all the matching elements in each Doodlebug Collection because I can mix and match and layer and embellish to my heart’s content. And now, I have several gift tags made and ready to go, I just need to go make some matching cards to go with my tags!  Thank you for stopping by and having a look!

Hey Cupcake Gift Card Holders

Do you need a cute and quick way to give a gift card for an upcoming Birthday?  My project today is a fun way to dress up gift cards using elements from the Hey Cupcake Collection and resembles a gift bag with a tissue paper insert that holds the the gift card.    

Here are some things you will need.  First, choose a sentiment/focal point for the front of the bag as well as the pocket for the gift card insert from the 3x4 cut aparts (Birthday Bash Paper). Then choose some pattern paper for the top and bottom of the “bag” as well as the tissue paper insert, a layering piece for your cut apart, and the tag. You will need some ribbon for your handles and twine to tie the tag to the handle.  I also used various stickers and sprinkles to embelish.

Cut your top and bottom bag pieces approximately 5 3/4” high and 5 1/2” wide.  Snip all 4 corners of your square pieces.  Score 3 sides (bottom, right and left) about 1/4” from the edges. Punch two holes at the top for your handles about an inch from either side.  I used a die cut with stitching detail, for my insert, but if you have mad cutting skills (unlike me) you could free hand cut the tissue paper element at the top of your 4 1/2” wide and 6 1/2” high insert piece.  Adhere your cut aparts to the front of the bag and insert.  Helpful hint: on my first attempt I used too much adhesive and without thinking even glued the top of my pocket closed which made it impossible to put the gift card inside.  Haha don’t do that! :)

Next, fold your sides and bottom flaps down and glue them together.  Thread your ribbon through the holes, tying small knots on the inside to secure the handles.  If you are adding a tag, use some doodle twine to tie your tag to the handle.  And all that’s left to do is add some sprinkles and stickers!

Here’s a final look at three finished gift card holders. I think the little critters are the cutest! Thanks for taking a look today, have a good one!

Party Time Card and Favor Boxes

Hello!  Today my project features the adorable new Doodlebug Design's Party Time collection!  I created two favor boxes and a pop up card using lots of patterned paper and die cut elements.  Let’s take a look... 

First up is my Happy Birthday cupcake card.  This is the cut file I used on my Silhouette machine. I cut the base and inside layer of the card with dot/stripe petite prints in kraft and lily white and the cupcake layers using a few 12x12 pattern papers. I used Chit Chat sentiments as well as Odds and Ends die images to embellish my card. I love the candles, they’re perfect for the cupcakes!

I think this pop up monkey wearing a birthday hat is a fun surprise when you open the card!

Next up is my cupcake favor box.  This is the cut file I used (again on my Silhouette). I wanted the box to match my card so I decorated it similarly.

Lasty, I cut this favor box and decorated it using the 6x6 paper pad and one of the Doodlepop cupcakes.  I cut the center piece using a 1/4 inch rosette die and the new Doodlecuts nesting scallops die.  I tied a ribbon through the top to close the box and done!

I had a lot of fun putting this Birthday set together.  I absolutely love the variety of matching colors and patterned paper and elements Doodlebug collections offer to make layering so fun and easy!  That’s it for me, have a great day!

Birthday Cupcakes - Hey Cupcake Collection

The super cute, new Hey Cupcake collection is so fun!  And yummy birthday cupcakes are the inspiration for the project I’m sharing today.    

We might not be having birthday parties right now, but my sweet neice is turning 16 this month so I wanted to make a treat for her and let her know we are thinking about her and haven’t forgotten her special day. 

I used cut files from Lori Whitlock that can be found in the Silouhette online store, but you could easily subsitute any cupcake cut file or die cuts you may have. The 3 cupcake treat boxes pictured just above are all the same cut file, I just made them in different sizes and they are perfect for putting goodies inside. I used several 12 by 12 papers from the new collection for the top ‘frosting’ part, as well as petite prints for the 'cupcake wrapper' bottom portion of the boxes. 

I baked up some real cupcakes too and found this box and cupcake paper wrap to decorate and put my cupcakes in. Then I used stickers and chit chat die pieces and doodle twine to embelish them.  How cute are those little birthday girls?!

The Hey Cupcake collection is so vibrant and fun!  It’s hard to say which cupcakes I like better, the real ones or the paper ones. I hope this sparked something in your imagination to get you busy crafting.  Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Bee Happy Using Simply Spring

There is so much to love in each Doodlebug Collection with all the different types of coordinating goodies to work with. From Washi tape to Doodle Pop dimensional stickers to Chit Chat phrases to Sprinkles enamel stickers, the possibilities are endless! Once I pulled out my Simply Spring collection and saw all the cute little bee stickers, images and sentiments I got right to work on my theme for today's project. And once I got started, I couldn't stop!  

Up first is a card and tag using stickers as well as Odds and Ends and Chit Chat Die images and sentiments.

 

As I was flipping through the 6x6 paper pad, I found the adorable Bee Happy paper and knew there was a perfect way to use it! 

I found this Bee Well Soon Tissue Wrap Box from Lori Whitlock at the Silhouette Design Store. It stores a small stack of mini size tissues!  

I found 2 other boxes also from Lori Whitlock and the Silhouette store here and here to continue working with my bee theme. 

This last box is so tiny!  I stamped thinking of you and added 2 bees from the Little Critters Shape Sprinkles stickers pack. I glued a flower and greenery to a mini white clothespin, tied some twine in a bow and clipped the flower over it to close the box. 

 

I'll admit, maybe I did go a little Bumble Bee crazy, but they sure are cute aren't they? As I mentioned earlier the possibilities for embellishing cards, gifts, tags etc. are endless, so pull out those Simply Spring collections and start crafting!
