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!

BUTTERFLY KISSES SHAKER TAGS | with Conny

Hello crafty friends! It’s Conny here from The Daily Life of Creativity sharing these sweet shaker tags using the Butterfly Kisses collection. These tags came together fairly quickly and are one of my favorite little projects to create because they can be added to mini albums, pockets, scrapbook pages, or even gifted to someone special.

To start, I cut patterned paper from the 6x8 paper pad to 2” x 8” and trimmed heavy clear acetate to the same size. Using my sewing machine, I stitched around both long sides and the bottom edge, leaving the top open to create the shaker pocket.

For the shaker mix, I combined shakers from Garden Party and Butterfly Kisses blends, along with mint, cupcake and lily white shaker balls.  I also added bright pink sequins to create a fun, colorful mix. Once filled, I stitched the top closed by sewing forward, backward, and forward again for extra security.

I added teal eyelets from my stash at the top center of each tag underneath the stitching so the tags would stay secure without pulling the stitching apart. Then I finished them with bright yellow ribbon bows for an extra pop of color.

To embellish the tags, I layered pieces from the Odds & Ends, Chit Chat, Bits & Pieces, and Doodle Pops. I especially love the adorable frogs and butterflies because they add so much dimension and personality to the tags. I also stapled word strips like “Choose Happy,” “Love These Memories,” and “Always Smiling” to add little sentiments throughout the project.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope these tags inspire you to create something colorful and fun with your Butterfly Kisses supplies. XO

BUTTERFLY KISSES WALLET STYLE MINI ALBUM | with Traci

Hello everyone! Traci here and today, I'm sharing a beautiful wallet shaped mini album for spring photos. It's filled with fun little flaps, fold-outs, pockets, and the super cute Butterfly Kisses Collection. It would be perfect for pictures of spring, family, and friends, AND ... it would make a wonderful gift idea!

The wallet design is one of Lori Whitlock's cutting files called Wallet Mini Album (link below). I used lily white card stock for the base and covered the different sections in pretty pattern papers from the 6x8 paper pad.

On the cover, I used the stripe print called Rainbow's End and a pretty floral paper called Garden Party. I punched the 3" scalloped circle out of lily white and the 2.5" circle out of the Color-fetti polka dot. Then, I added the adorable Ladybug Garden Doodle-pops on top. That little pink ladybug is precious! Next, I added the title (also from the Color-fetti print), then glued tiny flat magnets underneath to secure the flap.

Here's what the wallet looks like opened up. It's unfolds into 3 sections. On the top section, I added the "Love You" die cut from the Chit Chat and 2 beautiful butterflies from the Odds & Ends. Then, a few enamel hearts from the Hearts A-Flutter shape sprinkles! 💕

The center section has two tri-folds that open to the left and the right. I covered both in the bubblegum floral paper called Butterfly Kisses, then added a white mat on top. I decorated with lots of cute die cuts from the Odds & Ends and a few enamel Butterfly Kisses shaped sprinkles. 

When you open those, each one has 6 little sections (3 on the front and 3 on the back). I covered them in pretty patterns and added some sweet 3x4 cards. Isn't that flower cart adorable?!

In the center, there's a 4x6 inch section where I added the "Love this" journaling card. It's a perfect spot to document notes, a cute story, dates, an event, etc.

On the right, the "bugs and kisses" card is from the 6x8 paper pad. Love it, the pretty flowers, and this cute collection so much! 

The bottom section has 2 little pockets that I tucked some adorable Odds & Ends die cut pieces into. You could add journaling notes to the back side of these, or ... use the pockets for small photos or memorabilia. 

I love the way this wallet shaped mini album looks with the cute Butterfly Kisses Collection! I also made one with the Berry Sweet Collection and the Hey Pumpkin Collection. Be sure to check those out for more ideas.

I hope this project inspires you to make something beautiful with the Butterfly Kisses Collection. Its pretty flowers, rainbow of colors, butterflies, and cute embellishments are ahh-mazing! 😊
