BUNNY HOP SPRING PILLOW BOXES | with Karen

The snow is STILL falling up here in parts of Canada so I am looking for signs of spring! It's a good thing that Doodlebug's Bunny Hop collection is on my crafty table right now so I can look there instead of out my window!

I love collections that can be used in a variety of different ways and even though Bunny Hop is an Easter collection, it really is so much more. I decided to create some spring flower inspired pillow boxes for some of the staff at work. Each pillow box was cut out with some of the coordinating Petite Prints you can find in this collection. The fun part is that you can create two different pillow boxes for each sheet of paper since they are double sided - like I did here!

I then dove into the patterned paper. These staples - stripes, florals and checks - can be found in all Doodlebug collections and they are great to work with because they are not themed to the collection - just to the colours! I used a variety here for the band on the pillow boxes.

And then finally, I grabbed the only spring blooms available to me right now - these beauties that are in the Bits & Pieces pack. I fussy cut some to fit better on my pillow boxes and then layered some of the flowers on top for a bit more dimension.

While these are going to some wonderful people that I work with, I think these would be darling for a baby shower or even Mother's Day celebrations! Fill them with goodies and you are all set to go!

Whether you are still sifting through the snow like I am or enjoying signs of spring, I hope this little project has brought a more life to your day!

Thanks for stopping by! Hugs,

BUNNY HOP SEWING BASKET | with Miguel

Bringing quilting style to scrapbooking is something I really enjoy doing; it's incredible to see how with a little imagination and creativity this can be possible. Today I made this basket using the cardboard technique, shaping the cardboard to achieve the square form of a sewing basket.

Once my structure was made, I covered it with the beautiful papers from the Bunny Hop collection.  I cut the papers into small strips and textured them with embossing folders to give the appearance of this quilted style.  I then  glued the strips all around my piece. 

I  lined the inside with another design from the same collection and reinforced the entire edge with pink faux leather to simulate the bias binding of the basket. I love the result! 

For the front part, I embellished with the rabbit, chicken, and eggs from the Odds & Ends, also embossing  to coordinate with the basket.

To finish decorating, I added shape sprinkles, one for each eye, on the rabbit and the chicken. I love the result!

To finish my project, I added ribbon with stitching to maintain the style of my design, and buttons. Thanks for stopping by! I hope my work inspires you! See you soon.

BUNNY HOP HELLO EASTER LAYOUT | with Nathalie

Easter just passed, so it's time to document your memories in style using the cute Bunny Hop collection.  The colors, icons, designs are just perfect for all those happy memories, and also the ones featuring the bright Springtime colors.  

I wanted to take advantage of the cards  in the Chickadees paper; so, I cut out  a few of them and then using a craft knife made sure to take the icon/sentiment from the center of the cards, so that they remain as frames.

Using foam adhesive, I adhered the frames to the Pistachio Floral Graph Petite Print paper, then  framed the entire paper with the Bunny Hop papers.  The inside of the "frames" provides perfect spots to add embellishments, the key was to balance the placement of all the embellishments and sentiments.

I placed the photo on the center frames, as I wanted to make sure that I could add the title next to it and fit it all in to balance the page, completely.    A few embellishments in a cluster at the top right corner of the photo help with the balance of the layout.

I loved having  small little canvases in each of the frames, I thought of the grid as a small gallery wall.  This was an easy to way to place the frames so that they follow a soft pattern on the layout.   To finish the page, I used some mini jewels in some of the frames and clusters to complete the spread.

I love how this turned out, and I hope it inspires you to use the new Bunny Hop collection for your next crafty project.    

It has been a pleasure to share some ideas on how to use the beautiful Doodlebug Design collections with you all for the past years, but I have to take a break from the team, as I concentrate in family. I cannot wait to continue seeing what you all create! XO
