COLOR ME CRAFTY LETS GET CRAFTY LAYOUT | with Brianna

Hey friends! Brianna here sharing a layout using the brand new Color Me Crafty collection. This collections color palette is so dreamy and the crafty icons are perfect for so many crafty memories. Here's my page:

I chose the Lily White cardstock for my base and then added two .5 x12" vertical strips of the adorable Crafty Colors striped paper. I absolutely love the look of the stripes on each side of the layout and I feel that it brings the viewers eyes towards the center of the page. I then took the Garden Girl, Color Me Crafty and Bitty Blossoms papers and trimmed them down to 9x3.5 panels. I arranged them down the center of my page and then adhered the Orchid, Swimming Pool and Bubblegum cardstock papers right on top. I had each of those trimmed down to a 7x3 size. It gave each panel a nice bold pop of color on top of the busy patterns.

For the bottom panel, I took a journaling piece from the Bits & Pieces pack and once I added my journaling, I adhered it to the right side of the panel. I then went through the Odds & Ends pack and selected the row of albums pieces since it was the perfect size to be a foundation for a subtitle piece that I grabbed from the Bits & Pieces pack.

I thought the top panel would be perfect spot for my title and chose a few words from the Chit Chat pack to create it. I also embellished around it using some of the larger florals from the Bits & Pieces pack. And then to jazz it up a bit more, I brought in a few of the adorable Puffy Icons and some of the Shape Sprinkles into the centers of my florals. Those tiny paint brushes and scissors?? So CUTE!

The center panel held my trio of photos and they're of my sweet girl scrapbooking with me. Well, she saw my finished layout for Doodlebug and wanted to add some extra embellishments to it. I couldn't wait for her to be interested in creating with me and when she finally wanted to climb in my chair and do it, I was so excited! She's the best crafting partner in my opinion!

For some finishing touches, I sprinkled in a few phrase pieces from the Chit Chat pack and a few more Puffy Icons. This page is so colorful and fun and I can't wait to hang it on my wall! Here's one last look: 

Thanks so much for stopping by today, I hope that I've inspired you in some way! I'll see you in my next post friends!

BUTTERFLY KISSES CARDS | with Niella

Hi crafty friends! Thanks for popping by today! Today's post is simple, fun and easy to recreate! They are created using Butterfly Kisses with a front strip of cardstock to help pop your focus point!  I love re-visiting and re-creating with Doodlebug products because everything matches and co-ordinates with each other.  Once you start to build your collections, you'd be able to pull out anything to craft with, how fun! Hope you stay tuned for the video showcase at the end of this post.

I've used the cards & envelope pack from the Happy Healing collection.  The pink, green and blue ones are perfectly matched with the Butterfly Kisses collection, super adorable!

Have you ever noticed that the envelopes have sweet patterns inside? Talk about detail! Look at how stinkin' cute the polka dots are and the pink graph? Yes, please!

To start the card bases, I've machine stitched my chosen patterned papers from the 6x8 paper pad, onto some coordinating craft foam sheets.  This helps to add dimension and texture with the stitching.  I've used a quilting thread that is thicker than most threads, but any thread will do!  Once I've stitched, I've then adhered them to each card with liquid glue.  Then once bone dry, I've scalloped edged each card.  Cute, right!

Now is the fun part! Decorating to your hearts content! You may have a theme in mind.  For me, I love creating cards just because. And once finished, I wonder if I need to add more. If you know my crafting style, you'd know I love to create clusters from both ephemera and stickers! Then once I've finished my clusters, I need to add a dash here and a splash of finesse there by dotting some Sprinkles around. Nothing escapes me! Ha.

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 doo!  Enjoy my video showcase!

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!

BUTTERFLY KISSES GIFT CARD BAGS | with Kathy

Sometimes I think that spring time is even busier than the holiday season!  With Mother's Day, lots of family birthdays, graduations, end of year activities, it seems like I always need a little gift, and gift cards can be a life saver!  Whenever I give a gift card, I like to package it up in something pretty... so to prepare for this season I created a few gift card bags using the Butterfly Kisses Collection.  Take a peek...

To create the bag shape, I used a goodie bag die from my collection.  I cut them from a few different 12 x 12 papers from the collection.  I then set out to decorate them all using flowers and butterflies from the bits & pieces pack.

For the first bag, I used the bubblegum colored side of the Butterfly Kisses paper for the bag.  In addition to the bits & pieces I also used a butterfly from the bitty bugs shaped sprinkles.  I created a tag using the all occasion large tags doodle cuts and added a puffy word sticker for my sentiment.  I tied it on with some limeade doodle twine.

The base of my second bag was made using the garden gingham as my base.  I added bits & pieces and some flowers from the flower garden shaped sprinkles.  It's tied together with some bubblegum doodle twine.

My last bag was made using the coral side of the mushroom meadows paper.  It's decorated with Bits & pieces and a cute little butterfly from the butterfly kisses shaped sprinkles.  I topped it off with some coral doodle twine.

I love that these bags are a good size to hold a gift card, and a few sweet treats.  They would also make good favor bags for a party!  That's it for me today, thank you for stopping by to peek!
