COLOR ME CRAFTY CLIPBOARD MINI ALBUMS | with Niella

Hi crafty friends! I am so excited to show you my latest project using the newest Doodlebug collection, Color Me Crafty! If you love to go to scrapbook crops, crafty swap meets or creative retreats, you'll want to create some fun clipboards that double as a mini album!  Stay tuned to see my video showcase of my two sweetiful 6x4" Friendship Keepsakes Clipboards! Each page has room for a name, social handles and favorite snack & color, so fun!

To create each clipboard, I've started with a 6x4 piece of chipboard, and covered it with a coordinating cardstock then a piece of patterned paper for the inside of the clipboard.  The best thing about Doodlebug collections are that each piece goes together, you can mix and match to your hearts content.

The front pages are super layered and I've loved piecing each page together.  I've used a mix of ephemera, puffy and mini icons stickers.  Everything has tied together so nicely.  I've also decorated each pink binder clip with alphabet beads and puffy stickers which turned out so cutie pie!

Each page I've created measure between 5.5 x 3.5, there is no precise measurements as I like to use random sized pages as it gives the variety to each page.  Once each page has been cut, I like to them build each cluster, page by page.  I'll then go over each page and add bits and pieces as I go.  

Next time you go to a crafty gathering, get your new crafty friends to add their details! Memory keeping at it's best :-)  These would also be great gifts.  A great idea is to hang one of these on a lanyard! Definitely a great ice breaker! There is so many possibilities with these Clipboards.

Thank you again for visiting crafty crew! I hope you found some inspiration today! Please remember to tag Doodlebug Design in your Socials when you create with our products so we can all admire your creativity! We love seeing your creations! Until next time; doodle doo!  Enjoy my video showcase!

COLOR ME CRAFTY EVERYDAY CARDS | with Karen

 When summer starts, it is usually a chance for me to start catching up on the things that I often don't get to during the school year - you know, the little cleaning and fix-it up jobs that you can live without doing, but feel better when you do. Well, that's what I have on my plate right now, but let's be real - am I going to do those things right away?! No - I am going to craft!

And I am starting that crafty fun with a set of what I call "everyday cards". These are the cards that you always need around - birthday, thank-you and thinking of you. This is one of my favourite things to do with new collections because it is a fun way to explore new collections without the pressure of the project being for something specific. This set uses the Cards & Envelopes set that coordinates with Color me Crafty and uses the 6x8 Patterned Paper as the base.

From there, I found these cute little sentiments on the B side of one of the sheets of paper from that pack and just fussy cut them to go on each card.

Then the layering fun started! I used a bunch of the floral die cuts from the Bit's and Pieces pack and then layered them either behind or in front of the sentiment. On two of the cards I used some foam adhesive on some of the flowers to create more depth to the card...

...but on the one, I just used regular adhesive so it would be mail friendly. Even if the flowers don't pop up quite as much, I still think that they layered look is accomplished effectively.

And last, but certainly not least, I used a few of the coordinating Color me Crafty Sprinkles for a little shine on a couple of the cards. Using something with a different finish creates a really polished look on the cards.

So, was this a good way to procrastinate just a little bit longer on some of those cleaning tasks?! You bet! I am sure that future me will thank me when I need a card for a special event! :)

Thanks for stopping by! Hugs,

COLOR ME CRAFTY - CRAFT ORGANIZER BOX | with Miguel

Color Me Crafty is undoubtedly a favorite collection among scrapbookers!  Today I created this box using the *cartonnage* technique— something I truly love and enjoy doing. I used the Color Me Crafty Solid Assortment to create contrast against the patterned paper and incorporated a shadow box as the focal point and closure for the box.

For the shadow box, I used small scraps of paper to add life and color to the project, and I decorated this lovely cover using Chit Chat and Odds and Ends pieces, adding buttons and puffy icon stickers to brighten it!

The box is constructed with several flaps, The shadow box I created serves as the closure; the entire interior is lined with designs from the Color Me Crafty collection.

I designed this box to organize small scrapbooking tools, and it also serves as decor for my workspace. Thanks for stopping by; I hope you enjoy my work, as always. See you soon!
