BUTTERFLY KISSES CARDS | with Niella

Hi crafty friends! Thanks for popping by today! Today's post is simple, fun and easy to recreate! They are created using Butterfly Kisses with a front strip of cardstock to help pop your focus point!  I love re-visiting and re-creating with Doodlebug products because everything matches and co-ordinates with each other.  Once you start to build your collections, you'd be able to pull out anything to craft with, how fun! Hope you stay tuned for the video showcase at the end of this post.

I've used the cards & envelope pack from the Happy Healing collection.  The pink, green and blue ones are perfectly matched with the Butterfly Kisses collection, super adorable!

Have you ever noticed that the envelopes have sweet patterns inside? Talk about detail! Look at how stinkin' cute the polka dots are and the pink graph? Yes, please!

To start the card bases, I've machine stitched my chosen patterned papers from the 6x8 paper pad, onto some coordinating craft foam sheets.  This helps to add dimension and texture with the stitching.  I've used a quilting thread that is thicker than most threads, but any thread will do!  Once I've stitched, I've then adhered them to each card with liquid glue.  Then once bone dry, I've scalloped edged each card.  Cute, right!

Now is the fun part! Decorating to your hearts content! You may have a theme in mind.  For me, I love creating cards just because. And once finished, I wonder if I need to add more. If you know my crafting style, you'd know I love to create clusters from both ephemera and stickers! Then once I've finished my clusters, I need to add a dash here and a splash of finesse there by dotting some Sprinkles around. Nothing escapes me! Ha.

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!

BUTTERFLY KISSES STADIUM WAVE CARDS | with Karen

A few months ago, I came across a "new to me" pop up card style called the stadium wave card. At the time, it was the winter so I was happily crafting with all sorts of wintery wonderland collections. But at the time, I remember thinking that this style of card would be perfect with a fun Doodlebug collection filled with all sorts of florals that could pop right out of the card like a summer garden. So when I found out the we were going to be featuring Butterfly Kisses, I knew that this pop-up had to come out again!

So this last weekend, it was time to get busy making a little anniversary card and a little birthday card. Both cards were created with some white cardstock and then matted with patterned paper from the 6x8 paper pad on the front and on the inside.

To decorate the pop-up wave part of the card, I got to work using a variety of die cuts from both the Bits & Pieces pack and the Odds and Ends pack. On this particular card, I want it to have a bit of a whimsical feel so I included some of the cute characters that you can find in the Odds & Ends pack.

And for this card, I really just wanted to feature the amazing florals that are in the Bits & Pieces pack. There are so many sized of flowers and leaves that it is so easy to create the layered garden look that I was going for.

And then for the bands that hold the cards closed, I used some mini doilies for a bit of texture on top of a Petite Prints pattern called Plaid-polka dot in Pistachio. I then added a Doodle-pop to each - Butterfly Kisses and Fun Guys (my favourite)! A few Mini Paperclips balanced out the one with the mushrooms and some Puffy Words stickers finished each one off.

I wish you could see these cards in person! They are bright and cheerful and are everything I love about doodlebug. I hope they bring a smile to your face too! Thanks for stopping by! Hugs!

BUTTERFLY KISSES RAINBOW NOTEBOOK | with Miguel

Today, I have another project using the Butterfly Kisses collection. This time, I made a notebook with a rainbow theme, perfect for documenting and noting to-dos in a very cute and colorful way. I covered my covers with the Solid Assortment.  I love how they offer the specific range of colors that match the collection.

I cut very thin strips from four of the patterned papers and glued them onto the cover.  I added adding some clouds and decorated with border stickers from the  This & That and the puffy words stickers, which give a super beautiful finish when it comes to phrases. 

I had a fun idea to add the tags that come on one of the sheets of the collection, which can also serve as dividers and frames for photos of very special moments.

And of course, the cherry on top is this beautiful Doodle-pop butterfly. I love how it looks in projects, especially its shiny, 3D finish. 

Thanks for stopping by and reading! See you soon!
