Then using the Icon stickers, Idecorated each one. How cute they all looked topped off with Doodle Twine, adorable! Below are the listed papers + Doodle Twine used. 

Left papers: Water Babies, Beach Towel. Twine: Bubblegum.

Right papers: Summer Fun, Paradise Palms. Twine: Limeade.

AT THE ZOO PAPER TOPPERS | with Niella

Hi crafty crew, so happy to see you visiting today! With the sun shining and the days outside plentiful with family and friends, have you been to visit the zoo lately! Or have an upcoming zoo themed event or even better, like planning ahead with handmade goodies, me too! Today I have a set of funtastic paper toppers for your gift giving, gift card holders, table nameplates or even bookmarks that are ready to mark your latest page! Multiple uses! And, I have a bonus video at the end of this post!

Warning: super cuteness coming up! You'll fall in love with all the cheeky and adorable animal faces ! You can almost feel them snuggle right up to you. It'll be hard to pick a fave!

I started with the patterned papers! And cut these to 5x5" and then folded them over by 4 3/4" which leaves a slight lip under so you can see the contrasting pattern underneath. Here I chose Safari Plaid, Later Alligator, Jolly Giraffes, Elephant Parade, Lions & Tigers and Roly Poly Pandas! How roaringly sweet!

Next, I added matching cardstock from my stash as a front panel to add the Icon stickers to. Adding a background of solid color helps these elements pop! Then I dotted around the mat Sprinkles and also some glitter Sprinkles too! How snappy!

Once all decorated, I added a top stitched line using my sewing machine. This helps the folded card to stay secure for use as a bookmark over your page but can still be used as a gift card or table nameplate! There really are so many uses for these. Your ideas can be taken to new heights!

Thank you crafty crew for cruising by today! I hope I gave you a crafty hit of inspiration! Don't forget to tag us in on your socials - we're looking forward to seeing your next Doodlebug Design project! Until next time; doodle zoo!

BONUS: video flip through as promised!

SNOW MUCH FUN BOOKMARKS | with Niella

Happy New Year crafty crew! We've gone from ho, ho ho to snow, snow snow! Let's start the year with the new super cute + cozy Doodlebug Design collection... Snow Much Fun - so let's begin with bookmarks! Not just any kind of bookmark, mind you. A fun and interactive bookmark - you'll want to create a bunch to use and gift - you can even use them in your crafty projects like greeting cards, scrapbook layouts and travelers notebooks!

I started by selecting from the patterned papers in the 6x6 paper pad - I chose Snow Day, Snow Much Fun, Frozen Flurry, Wintery Woods and Snow Happy Together - aren't these names snow cute! Next I cut strips for the front and back of the bookmarks. The back is white textured cardstock. To give extra interest, I created the flag end and rounded the corners with my scissors.

Once I had the foundation pieces adhered (sewing machine for extra texture or glue the top edges) , I decorated! I love this part the most. Aren't the stand alone Doodle Cuts super adorable! I used both the Snow Cute and Frosty Flurry sets.

Using foam dots gives the best dimension! See how the adorable Yeti is holding a snowball ready for a play fight! And best pals Seal and Snow Bunny? So darling! And Snow Fox is ready for a wander with her pink scarf. And don't  forget the tiny cute choir of penguins and hi there polar bear with your rosy cheeks!

I can't wait to pop these in my new books to read over the next couple months! And because they are bookmarks; they can be used over and over! You could even make one and gift alongside with a new book as a present!

The colors in this collection are amazing - everything goes together so exceptionally well - perfect for all your crafting! Thank you so much for visiting today; I hope you've had a crafty hit for today! Don't forget to tag us in on your socials - we're looking forward to seeing your next Doodlebug Design project! Until next time; doodle doo!

PETITE PRINTS BOOKMARKS | with Niella

Hello crafty crew! I am super excited you've popped into the blog today - let's have some creative fun by bookmarking this simple project because you'll want to create these! They are so purposeful you won't stop at creating one and will want to create a whole set :-)

This is the perfect time to bust out your Doodle Cuts Die collection. Here I've used 6 different sets, but don't let that limit you to what you can achieve!

Starting with the new and versatile Petite Prints patterned papers, I've selected several colours and cut them into different size flags. Adhere the top only onto white cardstock to have a single layered bookmark flag - this will be where you can slide the page between!

Next, secure together with a straight stitched line (or use your wet adhesive) so that the page doesn't go higher than your set embellishments.

Now for the extra fun part; make your embellishments or use some of your Doodle-Pops (yes, I know how hard they are to actually use, ha!) I've created my embellishments using Doodle Cuts because they mix in so well with this project ;-) Now, slip into your current book! I've used several Flag Bookmarks, one in my favourite cookbook and journal and even planner!

They look super adorable all stacked up! You could even go a step further and label the bookmarks with alphabet stickers saying Cook, Read, Write and To Do. Fabulous, right!

Have fun experimenting and remember to tag us in on all your Socials, we adore all your Doodlebug projects! Until next time, doodle-doo!
