SNOW MUCH FUN POP UP CARDS | with Karen

Hey Doodlebug fans! Sometimes winter can seem really dark and long, especially up here where I live when the sun doesn't come up until after 8:00am and is down by 5:00. But there is also a brightness that comes this time of year when the lights reflect off of the snow and clouds and you can actually see for miles in the darkness. That's what I love about the Snow Much Fun collection from Doodlebug - it celebrates all the fun and lightness in what can be a dark time. So today, I wanted to share a couple of thank-you cards using this collection that also celebrate those in our lives that help bring the light!

   

These cards don't look like much on the front (although I would argue are still pretty in their simplicity), but open them up...

   

...and all the fun jumps out at you! This is a style of card called a stadium wave pop up and I recently came across the style. I thought they were a perfect way to showcase all the great parts of this collection!

   

 For this one, I use the 12x12 Ice Crystals paper as the base. This is one of my favourite patterned papers of all time from any company - the colours are unexpected and absolutely beautiful!

   

And then I embellished the pop out pieces with a variety of die cuts from the Bits & Pieces and Odds & Ends packs. This part was the most fun because I got to play with different shapes, sizes and placements to get the effect I was looking for.

   

 I also his a little spot to pull out a message underneath the sentiment that I created. I just wanted a nice space to write a meaningful note while still leaving lots of room for the card elements.

   

 Finally, I decorated the front with the adorable polka dot paper called Snow Day and then created a little band to hold the card closed (it get's a bit bulky with the party inside)! I plan to use the space on the round die cut for the recipient's name. So, if you need a little light in your life right now, grab your Doodlebug and get crafting. You won't regret it! Thanks for stopping by! Hugs,

SNOW MUCH FUN WINTER BOXES | with Miguel

As you can probably tell, I personally love finding items related to Doodlebug designs, and today is no exception. I bought these snowy pine candles that perfectly complement the projects I made today!

I made these boxes with the Snow Much Fun collection; the base is made with cardstock and the lid with acetate to make the pine candle stand out.

For the decoration I used icons with the different characters from the collection and I loved the result!

And that's how I created these beautiful boxes! They're perfect for giving a little something during this cold season. 

Thanks for stopping by and reading!

SNOW MUCH FUN - HAVING SNOW MUCH FUN LAYOUT | with Nathalie

We are living Winter at its peak here in Toronto, Canada.  We are buried under 60 cm of snow here, so  we are indoors and it is a good time to work on some crafty projects.  I pulled my  Snow Much Fun collection to document a few memories of winter days past.  Here is what I created:

I love the colors in the collection, and wanted to pull a few vibrant colors to bring this memories together in a simple design.   

I trimmed  pieces from the Wintery Woods paper  and placed them on top of one of the textured cardstock to create a foundation for my photos.  I also trimmed a piece from the 6x6 paper pad  to frame the photo and repeated the pattern in a small strip at the bottom of the page.  I pulled a few of the border stickers complete my base.

Once I set the photos in place, then I started adding pieces of Chit Chat at the top left corner of the photo.  Then decided to add more stickers to bring more sentiments and interest to that space.

I wanted a large title to balance the pictures; so, I clustered pieces to create a large  title at the bottom right corner of the page.  I added a piece of Chit Chat above the cluster to create my title.   To finish, then I added sprinkles and a few Doodle-pops to  some areas just to bring it all together.

I love how this turned out and I  hope that it is inspire you to get creating with the Snow Much Fun Collection. XO
