MY HAPPY PLACE LAYERED CARDS | with Lisa

For this project, I was in the mood to create some cards. What I really love about the Doodlebug collections, is that there is a matching card pack with every collection. So no need to create a card base before you start, you just grab one of the cards in the pack and start embellishing.


I'm a big fan of layering and dimension and I'm super jealous of the talented crafters that create those amazing layered embellishments with stitching and tulle and all the things... I'm really better at making layouts and still need to practice my layering. But I thought I'd give it a go and I'm very happy with the result.


There are three main things that I did to make my embellishing look thick, dimensional and fluffy. First I created a rosette. Second thing is, I stitched a piece of tulle behind some die cut words. And the last thing is... obviously... that I used thick foam squares ;)

I decided to go traditional and use two simple card bases in ladybug and bumblebee. I made two rosettes, one black and white striped and one with rainbow colors. To start, I glued some pom-poms behind the rosettes and attached the rosettes to the bases using foam squares. Then I went through the flower and leaves die cuts from the Bits & Pieces pack and adhered those behind and on top of the rosettes. 


For the sentiment, I used a big word die cut from the Chit Chat pack and zig-zag stitched it to a piece of tulle. I then used thick foam squares to attach it to the rosette. I then added some embellishments to the "construction" ;) like enamel dots and shapes, Doodle Pops, which added even more dimension, and stickers. For a final little touch, I glued a tiny flower to a even tinier paper clip and attached it to a flower. I also splattered some paint on the cards.


I'm super happy with how the cards turned out and am already excited to gift them to someone :).  I hope you like the inspiration. Thank you for stopping by and see you very soon!

MY HAPPY PLACE ORGANIZER BOX | with Miguel

I am a big fan of the houses in the My Happy Place Collection, so today I have a second wooden house that I altered using the collection.   The steps are very easy, I started by painting a wooden house with black acrylic paint.  Once painted, I selected the papers that we will use to give color and fun to my piece .


It's such a fun house, I had to decide how I wanted to use it.   In addition to being a nice décor piece, I thought it would also make a great organizer.  A perfect place for those of us who lose our keys, lol.  I even made a fun coordinating keychain using the new Bright Bouquet Just Charming clip & keychain, the ideal companion to my box!



I also thought that it would be a fun place to leave family photos and notes, to start our day off well, or as a welcome home after work... Cute don't you think?

I say goodbye for now, as always hoping you are inspired!  Thanks reading today!

MY HAPPY PLACE FOREVER LAYOUT | with Nathalie

I am loving My Happy Place collection so much!  It is so perfect for everyday documenting, and all those sweet homemade moments. Today, I want to share a new project that showcases the lovely colors and patterns of this collection.

I love the patterns in this collection.   For this page, I am using the Cozy Spot patterned paper to create the top fold of this page. Then backed the space with the Enjoy The Ride patterned paper.   Just love the contrast in color and style.


I backed my photos with papers from the 6x6 paper pad, then placed them on the top part of the layout.  I added a few embellishments around the pictures.

I am  using Chit Chat pieces -at the bottom of the pictures- to create the title for my page.  I am repeating the embellishment cluster next to the title.

To finish my page, I repeated the cluster at the bottom of the page.   This just caps the page completely.  The final details are a bit of Matte Sprinkles around each of  the clusters.

I hope that you are loving the new My Happy Place collection.  Remember to share your projects with us!!  XO

MY HAPPY PLACE STAMPED POP UP CARDS | with Kathy

Have you seen the stamp sets that are part of the My Happy Place Collection?  There are 2 new ones... Happy Home and Garden Girl.  They are full of super cute images!  As soon as I saw them I knew I had to make a couple of fun pop up cards.  Take a peek...


I started with the Garden Girl Doodle Stamps.  I love all of the fun plants!  They make me think of my dad's green house!  I made the base of my card with the blue side of the Enjoy the Ride paper.  I stacked my plants on some cute little benches, and then added the birdie.  I love the "you grow girl" sentiment!  I added a few of the In the Garden shaped sprinkles to complete the look.



For my next card, I used the Happy Home Doodle Stamps and Doodle Cuts.  I have friends moving into a new house, and thought this would be a fun card to help celebrate their new "happy" place.  I made a little scene with one of the houses, some trees, the fence and that adorable little car.  I added more of the In the Garden shaped shaped sprinkles .



I just love that little car!!!  Have you made any projects using the new stamps?  Make sure to tag Doodlebug Design on Facebook and Instagram.  We always love to see your creations!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

MY HAPPY PLACE FRIENDS MINI ALBUM | with Traci

"It's the friends we meet along the way, that help us appreciate the journey."  I'm not sure who said it, but I love this quote, and it inspired me for today's project.  


For my album I used a 4"x5" pocket & tag album from my stash, pretty 6x6 and 12x12 papers from the My Happy Place collection, and lots of bit & pieces.  The tags, flowers, and tabs in the package were perfect for embellishing this album style. 


For the cover, I printed the quote out on white card stock, and layered a scallop punch and the cute green gingham circle from the bits & pieces.  My favorite thing about the cover is the adorable yellow car!  This Doodle-Pop is called puddle jumper and I think it works perfectly with the title. So cute!




Inside there are 12 pockets … perfect for tucking in colorful tags (above) and 3x4 element cards (below).


I wanted lots of cuteness popping out from the top of the album, so the flowers, leaves, and ribbon made this chunky little mini even more fun!


I even sprinkled a few enamel hearts from the All My Love assortment throughout the album for a little shine.  


I hope you are enjoying all of the team's My Happy Place projects!  It's such a fun collection and works well for so many projects, including this little friendship album.  A kit for this project will be available over in my shop tomorrow.  

Happy crafting everyone!

MY HAPPY PLACE CHIT CHAT LAYOUT | with Erica

What do you do with leftover chit chat pieces? Today I am using my large title chit chats on one 12x12 scrapbook layout using the My Happy Place collection!

I took some photos of my brother in law and his girls recently and I could not wait to document them! The My Happy Place collection was perfect to pair with this photos! I am using one of my favorite papers in this collection as my base! I just love the black scallop border around the page the the black polka dots!

I printed out 5 photos sized about 2.75x2.75 and matted them on papers from the My Happy Place 6x6 paper pad. This design is a fun grid style but has a fun play with the chit chats in this collection!

I laid out all the photos and chit chat title pieces I have left over onto my base. I adhered the photos directly to the pattern paper and popped up the chit chat pieces with foam adhesive.

I used some My Happy Place odds & ends, mini icon stickers and sprinkles to embellish around each photo! I kept it clean and simple and I love how it turned it out! The black in this collection really helps things pop off the page!

Thank you so much for stopping by the blog today! I hope I gave you some inspiration on how to use up some leftover chic chat title pieces! Have a great day!

MY HAPPY PLACE GARDEN GIRL STAMPED CARDS | with Karen

Up until this last fall, my happy place was at the crafting table. But this last year, I have found a second happy place - in the garden! I usually kill almost everything I grow, but this last year, my appreciation for growing plants from seed has, well, blossomed! So Doodlebug's - My Happy Place collection is just that much more special for me.

All-three-1

For this project, I decided to mix my old favourite hobby - colouring stamps - with my new favourite hobby by featuring the adorable "Garden Girl" plant-themed stamps on a set of cards. There are so many awesome plants to chose from and they are the perfect size to mix and match on A2 cards.

Stamps-2

I actually decided to have some fun with them by fussy cutting and layering one stamped image on the top of the identical image. Each plant is glued at the part where the plant meets the pot and left loose on top of that for dimension.

Stamps-1

I then attached the pot separately with some foam adhesive to make it look like the plant was coming out from inside the pot.

  All-three-2

I really love how these turned out - it was definitely worth the time it took to double stamp/colour and cut our each image! Truth be told, although my real plants have a new place in my heart, these ones are a whole lot more dependable and a whole lot easier to give away! I hope you have as much fun with yours as I have had with mine! Thanks for stopping by! Hugs,
