Doodlebug Design Inc Blog: COLOR ME CRAFTY BULLETIN BOARD

Hello crafty friends! I’m so excited to share a project that has brought the biggest smile to my face! I’ve been seeing the adorable bulletin board trend popping up everywhere lately, and I knew the new Color Me Crafty collection would be the perfect match for this sweet pink bulletin board that is destined to hang in my craft room. Every paper, embellishment, and icon in this collection practically begged to be turned into cheerful décor, and I had so much fun bringing this happy little display to life. Let’s take a closer look at all the fun details!

My Happy Place

The star of the board is definitely the large round “My Happy Place” piece. I used an embroidery hoop as the base, and then I layered several stitched circles together, using some Bubblegum Textured Cardstock and one of the colorful patterned papers from the 6x8 paper pad for the center. The oversized title from the Chit Chat creates a bold focal point, and I tied a tiny coral button from the Odds and Ends for an extra touch of whimsy. White pom pom trim around the edge and a soft ribbon hanger finished it off perfectly and added lots of texture.

The Crafty Life Corner

Over on the left side, I created a fun banner using bright floral paper from the 6x8 paper pad and layered a sticker from the This and That sticker sheet “The Crafty Life.” A cute paint palette, button, and glue bottle icon from the Icons sticker sheet reinforce the creative theme, and I topped the whole section off with a large striped bow made with sheer ribbon and colorful curly streamers. This section really adds so much personality and movement to the board.

Favorite Memories Pocket

I wanted to include some special crafty memories, so I used one of the purple envelopes from the coordinating Cards and Envelopes package to create a fun pocket for my photos. I tucked several favorite snapshots inside and added patterned sticker tabs and some Assortment Sprinkles enamel dots to make them easy to pull out. Along the bottom of the envelope, I layered adorable camera, heart and instant photo die cuts from the Odds and Ends featuring rainbows, sunshine, and a colorful hot air balloon. This sweet little section captures some wonderful memories and brings even more happy color to the board.

Mini Banner Clips

One of my favorite details is the trio of tiny banner pieces hanging from oversized paper clips. Each banner was embellished with lots of dimension and texture. All of them are made with cardstock from the Cardstock Assortment. Then the other papers are pieces that are from the 6x8 paper pad. The stickers are all from the Puffy Icons Stickers. The first features layered flowers and the sentiment “Crafty Girl.” The center banner says “Making Pretty Things” and is accented with miniature scissors, and the third showcases a sweet little girl image and a tiny cup. I finished each one with white pom pom trim and fishtail banner ends. These miniature decorations add so much whimsy and perfectly celebrate all things crafty.

Flower Garland

Across the top of the board, I strung black and white Chunky baker’s twine and added several flowers from the Bits and Pieces embellished with colorful buttons that are actually Puffy Stickers. The garland creates a cheerful finishing touch and helps tie all the elements together while bringing even more color to the display.

Creative Inspiration Bookmark

Along the right side of the board, I added a long inspirational piece featuring one of my favorite sentiments about creativity. This is also found in the 6x8 Paper Pad. I mounted it onto patterned paper, embellished it with Puffy Sticker hearts, and finished the bottom with an adorable camera icon from the Icon Sticker Sheet. A coral Doodle Twine bow at the top gives it the feel of a handmade bookmark and adds another layer of charm.

One of my favorite things about this project is all the little details. The layered flowers with buttons, colorful enamel dots, pom pom trim, oversized paper clips, baker’s twine, ribbon, and dimension throughout make every section feel special. The bright pink frame and neutral fabric background allow all those happy colors from the Color Me Crafty collection to really shine.
