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!

BUTTERFLY KISSES BEAUTIFUL YOU LAYOUT | with Tarrah

The perfect way to celebrate and document those everyday moments of love and connection, was using the Butterfly Kisses collection! For this layout, I wanted to create a bright, cheerful design that highlights a sweet photo while letting all those happy colors and playful patterns shine.

The standout feature of this page is the diagonal patchwork background. I created a grid of square pieces using a variety of patterned papers from the 6' x 8' paper pad —florals, ginghams, butterflies, and tiny icons—all arranged on a diagonal for a fun, dynamic feel. This design adds movement and visual interest while allowing multiple patterns to come together in a cohesive, eye-catching way.

To frame the page, I matted the white cardstock to the 12' x 12' Garden Gingham patterned paper that neatly ties everything together and keeps the layout grounded.

The photo sits slightly off-center, layered on top of the patchwork design. I kept the photo cluster fun and dimensional with a mix of die-cuts, stickers, and embellishments from the Chit Chat and Odds & Ends packs and the This & That sticker sheet. A soft yellow mat under the photo helps it pop while still blending beautifully with the bright colour palette.

Around the photo, I built layers using flowers, butterflies, and small accents from the Bits & Pieces pack to create a balanced composition. The addition of fluttering butterflies across the page gives the layout a light, whimsical feel—perfectly matching the joyful theme of the collection.

The title “Beautiful You” takes center stage, combining bold, colorful lettering with a handwritten script for contrast and personality. Placing the title close to the photo helps anchor the design and draws attention straight to the focal point.

Just beside the photo, I added a small sentiment piece that reads “Love You So Much,” reinforcing the heartfelt story behind the layout.

To complete the page, I sprinkled in enamel shapes and tiny embellishments, including a cute frog Doodle Pop and additional butterflies, to enhance the playful vibe. A few floral clusters at the top and bottom of the page create visual balance and guide the eye across the layout. I also drew faux stitching on each square paper to add some more interest and make them pop.

If you’re looking for a fun way to showcase your favorite photos, give this patchwork style a try—you might just fall in love with it! Thanks for stopping by today! Happy creating!
