LUCKY ME LEPRECHAUN TRAP | with Jen

As soon as I saw the Lucky Me collection I knew I needed to make a leprechaun trap! This is super easy to put together and there is a full video tutorial linked at the bottom of this post.

The overall trap is 5 1/4" x 7 1/4" and the box itself can absolutely be repurposed as a photo storage box or a card storage box or even a box to hold a mini album. The top has a window so you can see inside to check if you trapped your leprechaun! I used the new Rainbow Dots Heavyweight acetate for the window. 

The trap is "set" by raising the little prop that is attached to the front of the box with a Ladybug Chunky Brad. The prop is made from a craft stick from the dollar store. I also constructed a little ladder using craft sticks to help the leprechaun climb inside. When the prop falls it catches behind the Rainbow word from the All the Things pack. 

On the front we have a bunch of garden items from the All the Things pack and a leprechaun. I fussy cut the pot of gold from one of the cut aparts because I'd used my other two on my other projects. 

I added the Happy St. Patrick's Day sentiment and a couple more elements from the All the Things pack to the top. 

The box is matted on all four sides and I used two of the border strips that left attached around the top of the box and on the closure. 

The full video tutorial is linked below!

Have a great day!

LUCKY ME MINI ALBUM IN A BOX | with Traci

Hi friends! Traci here and today, I'm sharing a fun scrapbook for spring and St. Patrick's Day. My Doodlebug and Lori Whitlock design team projects happen to fall on the same day, so ... I combined the adorable Lucky Me Collection with one of Lori's amazing cutting files to create this cute mini album! 

I used the 5x5 Album With Box File (link below) to cut the base out of lily white cardstock, then decorated it with 12x12 pattern papers. On the front of the box, I layered the pretty floral Clover Patch paper, the cute polka dot print titled My Lucky Charm, and the 4x4 card from the St. Paddy's Plaid paper. 

Tucked inside the box is a cute mini album, perfect for spring and St. Patrick's Day photos. On the cover, I added the My Lucky Charm paper with its fun little images of rainbows, ladybugs, flowers, and clovers. Then, I added another 4x4 card that says hello sunshine! 

Inside, there are 12 scrapbook pages (6 double-sided) that I covered with more bright and cheerful 12x12 pattern papers. I added lots of cute die cuts from All The Things, colorful enamel dots, and photo mats. 

On the left page above, I used the adorable Rainbow Skies paper and added a 3x4 card from the Color Me Happy print. I wanted to use the card as a photo mat, so I covered the images in the center with white cardstock. Then, I added the horseshoe and flower die cuts. 

On the right, I used the polka dot print called My Lucky Charm, added a square mat, and embellished with more fun die cuts. I used a few bumblebee enamel dots on and around the pot of gold to mimic the coins.

The All The Things die cuts come with 143 pieces that include adorable shapes, icons, tags, and sentiments. So, the spring flowers, the cute blue birds, the Lucky Me that you see above, and all the other die cuts in this mini ... come in one package! It's literally ... all the things!

I hope you like this fun scrapbook and it inspires you to create something special with the wonderful Lucky Me Collection. For a video tutorial on this project, visit my blog. Have a great day and happy scrapping! 😊

LUCKY ME SPIRAL BOUND MINI | with Inessa

Please join us in welcoming our newest Doodlebug Design Team Member, Inessa Persekian!  Inessa's fun, bright style is the perfect fit for our products.  We are excited to see what she creates!

And be sure to check out Inessa's amazing mini album!

I’m so excited to share the absolute CUTEST mini album featuring the Lucky Me collection! The bright colors and sweet rainbow icons instantly inspired me to create something playful and interactive — and a 7x4 inch spiral-bound mini felt like the perfect way to bring it all together.

The colors in this collection are pure happy, so I knew right away my cover needed to be bold. I created a large shaker using the rainbow drops acetate and filled it with two shakers mixes — spring flowers and rainbow bright. I tucked in a few flowers from the All the Things pack, stitched the shaker closed with pink thread (because everything is cuter with stitching 💕), and finished it off with a die cut word title, flowers, and the super cute lucky lady icon sprinkle. I also added trims and the lucky charm charm clip to the spiral binding for that extra little detail that makes it feel special.

For the inside pages, I mixed patterns from the collection to create a variety of 7x4 base pages, pocket pages, and interactive flip elements.

On my first page, I created a flip-out by trimming the clover patch paper to 4x12 inches and scoring at 7 inches to form a 5-inch flap. I used a scallop punch along the edge to add a fun decorative detail. Both the inside and outside of the flap include space for a 3.5" square photo and a 3x4 photo — my favorite sizes to work with! I finished the page with icon stickers and puffy icons for dimension and texture.

For the envelope page, I used the green envelope from the Cards & Envelopes Rainbow Assortment pack and stitched a border all the way around for added detail. I adhered it to a 1.5x4 inch strip of patterned paper so the flap could still open. Inside, I added three 4x3 photos matted on patterned papers and decorated the flap with the Love You Doodle-pop. On the back side of the envelope, I added a 4x3 photo and embellished with die cuts, stickers, and the cutest little puffy ladybug.

Another favorite page features a flip-up element created from the journaling piece in the Color Me Happy paper. I folded it in half and adhered it to the right side of the base page to create a flap. On the outside, I layered die cuts with foam adhesive for dimension and added sprinkles for a playful touch. Inside, I left space for journaling and placed a small 2.5" square photo next to it.

I just love how this album came together — it’s bright, interactive, full of texture, and so much eye candy! I can't wait to fill it up with photos from this Spring.

Be sure to check out my Instagram reel for more pages and all the fun little details! 💕✨ Have a fabulous day!
