HEY PUMPKIN - HALLOWEEN TAGS | with Niella

Hey boo-tiful! How fast is October going crafty friends! I'm super excited for Halloween crafting and today I am so happy to show you what I've created using the Hey Pumpkin collection along with the newest accent for all our crafty projects: Pom-pom bouquet trim! It comes in all Doodlebug colors that we love so much!  I've created some super darling 6x3" textured tags for all your sweets, treats and spooky cute projects! And bonus! I have my video showcase at the end, yay! 


If you'd like to recreate my tags, I began with four 6x3 patterned papers and mounted these onto cardstock to make each sturdy.  Then for the back, I adhered the 6x3" tag on a contracting patterned paper.  Now that your tag will be strengthened to add stitching, ripped papers, and lots of ephemera and stickers! Cute!



Have you spotted the new pom-pom bouquet trim? Yes, it's right there, around the circle ephemera pieces on the front of each tag! I twisted two contrasting trims together to make one piece!  I love the look of them.  And because it's wired trim, it stays in place. 



To add extra pizazz to each of my tags, I used some mini icon stickers and Chit Chat ephemera and layered them onto each tag using pop dots and liquid glue.  Each detail was  been placed strategically so each tag looks dimensional and fun. And of course, I love to top each of my tags off with matching Doodle-twine and a mini bitty tag! Chef's kiss!


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!

HEY PUMPKIN SHAKER TREAT CONTAINERS | with Karen

I love Halloween. The colours, the characters, the treats - it really is just so much fun. And while I almost always make treat containers this time of the year, I wanted to challenge myself to add a little more...well...dimension... to my work. On top of that, it was also a great chance to show some love to some Doodlebug products that I sometimes find a little "scaaaaareeeee".

 

Enter - Doodlebug Shakers! Okay, I know that these adorable containers of darling little shapes scream "cute", but for this crafter, they often seem a little overwhelming. I have to admit that I admire them all lined up on my crafty shelf without cracking them open very often. But these adorable Halloween Night ones designed to coordinate with the Hey Pumpkin collection are just too amazing not to use. So, I took a deep breath and got down to business - and then I couldn't stop because they were just that awesome!

Six mini milk cartons later, I can honestly say that I am never looking back. Tag-teamed together with some of the amazing Homespun Heavyweight Acetate, these shakers make a darling window like embellishment on these containers. And as cute as they are to look at, they are even cuter to shake!

Of course, it doesn't hurt that the colours and patterns on the 12x12 patterned papers that I used for each one are stunning! The bold contrast of the colours is delightful!

Finally, a few Mini Clothespins in Beetle Black, Limeade, Bubblegum and Tangerine to close them off, these containers are ready for some yummy treats! Does it get any better than that?

 


I think I am a shaker convert! Turns out there was nothing to be scared about after all! Thanks for stopping by! Hugs,

HEY PUMPKIN HALLOWEEN PENCILS | with Miguel

Halloween touches are a must this season especially when created using the wonderful products from Doodlebug! Today, I made these pencils decorated with spooky houses that are also full of fun and color! They were crafted using black cardstock and my scoring board.


My little houses are decorated using the "Hey Pumpkin" collection! I love these colors, as they depart from the traditional Halloween palette. I added decorations using the mini icons,  their smaller scale makes them perfect and ideal for my miniature houses.



I incorporated both decorated and plain pencils, playing with the color palette from the collection. At the bottom, I added a bow made with twine and some pom pom trim just look at how lovely it makes the pencils look! 


Thanks for stopping by! As always, I’ll sign off by saying I hope my work provides you with plenty of inspiration for your own creative projects. See you soon!
