BUTTERFLY KISSES LOVE YOU LAYOUT | with Tya

There is just something so sweet and happy about the Butterfly Kisses collection from Doodlebug Design! The bright pastel colors, playful butterflies, and darling floral patterns made this layout such a joy to create. I used this adorable collection to document these precious photos of some family friends' kids at a wedding reception, and I just love how perfectly the soft colors and whimsical details highlighted these sweet little best friends.

For the base of my layout, I created a fun patchwork background using a variety of patterned papers from the  6x8 paper pad. I love how the mix of florals, polka dots, butterflies, and stripes adds so much interest and color without overwhelming the design. Layering the white cardstock panel on top helped frame my photos beautifully while still allowing all those gorgeous patterns to peek through around the edges.

One of my favorite details on this page is the “Love You” title cluster at the top of the layout.  The words are from the Chit Chat. I layered the title over a floral heart from the Bits and Pieces and added one of the adorable butterfly pieces and some hearts for extra dimension and movement. The black and white twine adds such a fun, whimsical touch and helps guide your eye around the page.


On the right side of the layout, I created a sweet embellishment cluster filled with flowers, hearts, leaves, and one of the pretty pink butterflies from the collection. All of these are from the Bits and Pieces and the Odds and Ends. I love adding little layers like this around my photos because it gives the page so much texture and helps bring everything together. The tiny Puffy Sticker flowers and sprinkled black ink dots finish the cluster perfectly.

For the left side cluster, I tucked in more florals and die cuts along with the “You’re So Sweet” speech bubble from the This and That Sticker sheet. I also added twine bows to some yellow flower buttons from my stash and layered pieces with foam adhesive to create extra depth and dimension. These little details are some of my favorite ways to make a layout feel interactive and full of life.

The full layout view really shows how beautifully all the colors in the Butterfly Kisses collection work together. The soft yellows, pinks, mint greens, and pops of coral create such a cheerful springtime feel. I love how the playful butterflies and florals help tell the story while keeping the focus on these darling photos and special memories.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope this layout inspires you to pick up the Butterfly Kisses collection and use it to document some of your own sweet memories. This collection is absolutely bursting with happy colors and charming details that make creating such a delight. Happy crafting!

BUTTERFLY KISSES THE GOOD LIFE PAGE | with Brianna

Hey friends! Brianna here today sharing another layout using the Butterfly Kisses collection. While on a mini vacation last week, I was at a nursery with my daughter and she was all about the beautiful flowers and of course, the water fountains. She absolutely loves flowers and will stop to smell each and every bloom. I snapped a photo of her and couldn’t wait to document it with this collection. Here’s my page:

To start, I decided to switch things up and opted for a colored cardstock as my base. I ended up choosing the pink Cupcake cardstock from the coordinating 12x12 Solid Assortment pack and I love how everything on top of it really pops!  Since my photo is of my girl looking at all of the flowers, I thought having a bunch of them on my page would be perfect. I pulled out the Bits and Pieces pack and selected quite a few of them. I arranged them in sort of a crescent shape with my intention of tucking my photo into it. 

I popped a few florals up on foam tape and then tucked the rest into each other. I also made sure to pull a few greenery pieces to tuck into them as well. Next, I matted my photo using one of the 6x8 papers and nestled it into the curve shape of my flowers. It's such a cute design!

From that same Bits and Pieces pack, I pulled out the two banner die cuts and arranged them in the top right corner of my page. I then chose my title from the Chit Chat pack and adhered it in the blank space between the banners and my photo. I absolutely love the fonts in this collection, they're so unique and fun!!!

Next, I wanted to add a few more embellishments so I scattered in a few Puffy Icons stickers like the bees and the blue birds. I also tucked in a few little critters into my florals from the Icons stickers sheet. I thought they went perfectly with this playful page!

Here's one last look at this cute and colorful page that was so easy to put together:

Thanks so much for stopping by today, I hope that I've inspired you in some way! If you have a bunch of floral die cuts, this would be a perfect design to try, especially if you're short on time but still want to sit down and create a page. I'll see you in my next post friends!

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!
