BUTTERFLY KISSES SPRING CARDS | with Niella

Happy Friday crafty crew! Thank you for popping by today. Hope you had fun last weekend with our giveaways and challenges to celebrate iNSD2026! And a sneak peak of our new collection Color Me Crafty! It is everything fun, colorful and crafty! I was so inspired to create quick and fast projects and there is nothing better than feeling so proud of ones little art works to gift! One of my favorite collections is this one as it's super adorable! Butterfly Kisses! Stay tuned until the end for my video showcase of my three greeting cards!

Using three of the six cards from the Spring Assortment cards & envelopes pack, I started each card with a base of patterned paper and built my way upwards to the front. Yes, I used a Doodle-Pop as an accent for each card. How hard is it to use up your hoard! If it's hard for you, I totally understand :-) You're definitely not the only one.

I love the dimension on each card. I've used my ever faithful foam rectangles and pop dots to help add that needed 3D feel. With Doodle-Pops you just know they'll already bring that joy as they are already so layered and fun! How cute is the froggy, the rainbow with florals and that adorable tea cup with a sweet bouquet of flowers. Pure joy!

My favorite idea is to use the icon stickers as ephemera. Especially as I like the size of each. There is just so much cuteness to each little face and how darling to have Sprinkles here and there to add to the scene! Every Doodlebug collection has all the best matching pieces, it is so fun to create with! I've used the word stickers from the This & That 12x12 sticker sheet. This product never disappoints with all the options you have on every sheet! From the mini words to the tabs and more!

Once each card is finished, I tie off some matching Doodle-Twine for that final touch! Twine seals the deal for me on my cards, tags and bookmarks! It's that subtle touch that gives dimension and texture. And with all the twine colors, you will never be short on options!

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 dee! Enjoy my video showcase!

BUTTERFLY KISSES JUST BECAUSE CARDS | with Karen

This weekend, we celebrate Mother's Day here in Canada. But there are lots of reasons why that holiday might be challenging for some people. So one of the things that I like to do on this particular weekend each year is to think about all the women in my life that are having a positive impact on my life - regardless of their title - and acknowledge them in some way.

Now you might argue that I am just using that as an excuse to make more cards because you know I love to make cards! You wouldn't be entirely wrong - I do LOVE to make cards. But how wonderful is it to have a stash ready to go when you just want to reach out and "thank-you" to someone special to you - this weekend or another time?

For this set, I started with a perfect standby - the Spring Cards & Envelopes pack - and teamed it up with some beautiful paper from the 6X8 Butterfly Kisses paper pad. I simply cut a couple of different patterns for each card, layering them and then adding a simple faux stitch border with a black pen to finish the edges.

From there, I actually added some adorable sentiments from one of my favourite products - the Butterfly Kisses Puffy Word stickers. Normally the sentiment is the last part that I put on my cards, but because these sentiments are so bold, they really are the focal point. Placing them first allows me to work around them with embellishments.

Speaking of embellishments, the Butterfly Kisses Odds & Ends die cut pack is filled with the sweetest icons, characters and shapes. I had no trouble finding the perfect shapes to use around the sentiments. On most of them, I used foam adhesive to add a bit more dimension on the cards. By popping them up a bit, you get a little shadow that just create a little more interest!

I can't wait to share these cards this week. I hope you have some time to share one of your creations with someone you love too! Thanks for stopping by! Hugs,

BUTTERFLY KISSES FLORAL WINDOW BOXES | with Miguel

Creating boxes that fit our favorite products is something I really enjoy doing, especially if they're gifts for very special people! Today I created these packages with the Butterfly Kisses collection and solid assortment.

Once my boxes were built, I decorated them with butterfly Doodle-pops. These 3D elements give a beautiful effect to projects. I also used some Icon Stickers.

These boxes are ideal for gifting these mini antibacterial gels from a well-known brand, which also have delicious scents!

Working with Doodlebug products is something I truly enjoy because they offer innovative and high quality products and materials that combine perfectly, making it easy to spark our creativity and create beautiful projects! Thanks as always for stopping by.
