LUCKY ME DOODLE POP CARDS | with Karen

I love bright and bold colour so it should come as no surprise that I adore Doodlebug's Lucky Me collection. The colours reminds me of my childhood - candy, toys and joy! So today I wanted to focus on creating some cards that had that same feel.

While I am usually all over the patterned paper as a background for my cards, I also find it a lot of fun to keep the backgrounds simple to draw attention to the fun characters that you can find in Doodlebug collections. So for this set, I grabbed some of the white bases from the Rainbow Cards & Envelopes to build upon.

And considering the intention of these cards was to feature cute characters, I couldn't help but use some of the adorable Doodle-pops that coordinate with this collection, like this one called Lucky Charm.

To create more dimension, I layered the Doodle-pops on top of some tags I cut from the St. Paddy's Plaid - 12x12 patterned paper. I love it when Doodlebug includes tags like this on their 12x12 patterned paper because they are always the perfect size for cards! I also added some fun die cuts from the Lucky Me- All the Things pack for a little bit of interest and piled it all on top of a cute mini doily.

Finally, I topped off some of the tags with a few Mini Paperclips and some Sprinkles from the Lucky Me assortment park.

I feel like these cards turned out exactly as I had hoped - straight out of a childhood dream. Playful, fun, bright - Doodlebug for the win once again! Thanks for stopping by! Hugs,

LUCKY ME - LUCKY ME LAYOUT | with Nathalie

I am loving the new Lucky Me collection! All the colors, the cute designs, and the sentiments are just so perfect to document those special memories. I took a few pictures from my littlest cousins for this layout.

I love geometric patterns, and the rainbow stripes are just a great way to bring attention to areas of the layout.   I cut some from the 6x8 paper pad and then lined them up to create chevrons on my white cardstock.

I set my photos ( I framed these with papers from the 6x8 paper pad) in the center area where all the chevrons point, making them the focus of my layout.  I needed just a few embellishments to bring sentiment and color to them.

I balanced the position of the pictures by adding embellishments to  the corners of each picture.  This  helps make the page balanced even when the photos are only on one area of the layout. 

I wanted to accent the diagonal lines in the layout, so I used them to position my title.   The key was to find the right fit.  I wanted it to fit on one line and be large enough to balance the other side of the spread.  I then used Sprinkles to create a guiding line to the center to the chevrons.

I love how this  turned out!  I hope this inspires you to get crafty with your Lucky Me collection, I cannot wait to see what you will create with it!  XO

LUCKY ME - ST. PATRICK'S DAY SHADOW BOX | with Miguel

If I had to talk about my favorite products and tools, I'd definitely mention Doodlebug's beautiful collections! And today I used my favorite tool, the Shadow Box Punch Board, because it lets you quickly and easily make small paper frames to decorate any space.

I worked with the petite print assortment from the Lucky Me collection to make two frames in different sizes, and then I cut this beautiful bouquet of flowers with the Bunch of Luck Doodle Cuts.  For the second shadow box, I filled the frame with a cut-apart from the  the card from the St. Paddy's Plaid cardstock.

Look how incredible the die-cut looks when cut from the coordinating cardstock.  I added foam dots to each piece to make it dimensional. I also used shape sprinkles from the same collection to add light and more design to my beautiful bouquet of flowers and clovers.

Now I have two frames to decorate and brighten up my workspace! Or for any corner of our home. 

Thanks for reading and stopping by, see you soon!
