SUMMER FUN - UNDER THE SEA SNOW GLOBE | with Kathy

I've been waiting for the perfect collection to create my DIY Snow Globe, and  Summer Fun was the one!  I knew that all of the cute sea critters swimming around would make the cutest globe!  Take a peek...

I had so many ideas, I decided to add elements outside of the Snow Globe too!  To start my project, I cut some Kraft Candy Stripe/Sprinkles Petite Prints to cover the base of the globe.  I added a few sand mounds and plants that I cut using the Adora-bowl Doodle Cuts.  I then decorated my ocean bottom with the cute little crab and blue fish from the Icon Stickers along with a few Puffy Icon shells.

For the inside of my globe, I cut a couple of layers of the waves paper (b-side of the water babies paper)  I also added some of the Kraft Petite Prints for more sand.  I popped the layers with a few strips of foam tape to give it more dimension. I used the Aloha! Doodle Cuts to cut some larger plants.

The jelly fish, seahorse and all of the fishies are from the Icon Sticker Sheet.  I added some foam dots behind many of them to make them seem like they were floating.  I also used some summer splash and sweet shells shaped sprinkles.

Finally I filled the bottom of my snow globe with some swimming pool and bitty bubbles shakers. Here's one more photo to show you the layers and dimension.

I love it when completed projects look like what you imagined!  That's it for me today, thank you for stopping by to peek!

BEE HAPPY SNOW GLOBE | with Jen

The Bee Happy mini collection is fun! Lots of bees doing bee things and the sweetest color palette! As soon as I got my hands on this collection I knew I wanted to play with the Doodle Cuts Busy Bee dies first. 

I made a fun little decor piece using the dies and one of the Doodlebug DIY Snow Globes. I had a vision of building a little scene of bees out doing their job and the dies were perfect for it!

I added the green and white pattern from the 12x12 Bee-utiful paper for my background. I hand cut some hills with the green cardstock in the coordinating Bee Happy cardstock pack and inked them with some dark green ink to give them some dimension.

Just a tip for when you are cutting and assembling your bees: Adhere the wings first. I used some light blue vellum from my stash for the wings. Add a tiny dot of glue to your base at the top and bottom corner of where the wing will attach. This glue will be hidden by the head and larger stripe on your bee when fully assembled.  

I popped up all of my elements at different heights and added an action wobble on my big bee. I added some of the Busy Bees Shakers and closed it up. 

On the front added some Puffy Icons and a sentiment from the This and That sticker sheet. I finished it off with some Beetle Black and Bumblebee Doodle Twine. 

Have a great day!

HOMETOWN USA SNOW GLOBE | with Jen

I just love the Doodlebug DIY Snow Globe. I have quite a little stash of them in my craft room because I have so many ideas! One idea was to use the clear Doodlebug Acetate to pop things up inside the snow globe. Hometown USA is the perfect collection for this!

First I cut a 4 1/2" circle out of silver glitter cardstock with my Cricut. Then I cut a 3 3/4" circle with the Cricut from the 6x6 firework paper. I cut three 1/4" wide strips of heavyweight acetate.

I lined the acetate strips up over the firework cardstock. I used the cardstock to determine where to bend them first so they were the right width. I then bent them a second time for the height. I varied the height on each strip.

I attached the strips to the back of the cardstock with Scor Tape. I used my powder tool to get the sticky off the back of the large pieces on the July 4th Doodle Pop and then added a small strip of tape to the back and adhered it to my middle strip. I added the stars around it and finally glued two small acetate fireworks from the Bits and Pieces on the upper and lower acetate strips.

I poured my silver shaker balls and Land That I Love shaker mix into the base of the snow snow globe. I then added the back.

I added a strip of the plaid cardstock from the 6x6 pad to the front of the base and one of the word stickers from the This and That sticker sheet on foam squares. I finished it off with some red polka dot ribbon around the outside.

Have a great day!

DOODLEBUG SHAKERS BIRTHDAY PHOTO GLOBE | with Conny

Hey Crafty Friends,  It's Conny here and today we are focusing on Shakers and DIY Snow Globes. For my project, I used the Bunny Hop Collection and focused on the florals and one of my favorite photos of Savanna. Her birthday is coming I wanted to make her something special. 

Let's get started! First, I printed a 4" x 6" photo. Then, I traced a circle on the photo using the Snow Globe backing, trimmed it using scissors, and added florals from the bits and pieces.  Some of the florals were glued directly to the background, while others were placed on foam double-sided adhesive to play with layers since the Snow Globes have room for dimension. Next, I added the "Hello" and "You're so sweet," from the Chit Chat Pieces  along with some Hello Spring Shape Sprinkles and that adorable Springtime Peeps Doodle-Pop! Inside the globe, I added Tangerine Shakers along with some Spring Flower Shakers. On the outside of the globe, I added florals on one side and Mini Jewels -  on the other side with the title "JUST FOR YOU!

We're super excited to see what wonderful creations you make with our Snow Globe Kit and Shakers. We just know they will be amazing and we can't wait to marvel at your creativity! 

XO, Conny!

DOODLEBUG SHAKERS MINI SNOW GLOBE ALBUM | with Traci

Hello everyone! Traci here and today, I'm sharing a new shaker mini album I created with the DIY Snow Globe Kit and the beautiful Hello Again Collection. I'm a mini album girl and can usually find a way to turn anything into a little scrapbook and fill it with photos. Any size, any shape, any theme - I got you! So, when I saw the adorable Snow Globe Kit my brain immediately thought of this ...

It's a snow globe shaped holder with a round, removable mini album inside! Oh, how I love Doodlebug. They have so many cute supplies that inspire fun projects. 

And speaking of fun ... I started by decorating the outside of the snow globe. I used flowers from the Bits & Pieces, some gold enamel heart sprinkles, the 6x6 aqua Forever Flowers print, and the gold title sticker from the This & That sheet.

I designed the album's cover to be a shaker and filled it with the cutest little Spring Flowers Shakers from the Bunny Hop Collection. The colors of those flowers are so pretty! 

The album's pages were created in an accordion style, so ... there are no rings or binding clips that would prevent it from fitting inside the snow globe.

I love the Hello Again Collection and thought it was perfect for this spring mini. I used the 12x12 Pink Poppies print on the rim and inside the shaker, the 12x12 Spot of Spring (Bunny Hop Collection) and the Green Thumb paper. Then embellished with some mini icon stickers and two little trees from the puffy shapes.

Let's take a quick look inside the mini, then I'll walk you through the steps of how I made this project.

I covered all the white card stock pages with 12x12 pattern papers, except for the one pink page above where I used a 6x6 sheet of the Pink Poppies. I also added the cute vase of flowers from the icon stickers.

To make the photo mats, I used a 3" scallop circle punch and a 2.5" circle punch. On this page, I chose the pretty Patchwork Plaid for the mat and added a butterfly icon sticker.

This cute little rainbow icon sticker has a pretty gold foil scalloped edge that I just adore, but ... it also mimics the scallops and the shape of my photo mat! 

Time for the tutorial ...

1. Using my Silhouette Cameo 5 machine and card stock, I cut out the following:

• 1 pattern ring (4.25”)
• 6 white rings (4.25”)
  
• 10 white circles (4.25”)
• 10 pattern circles (4”)

2. I stacked and glued the 6 white rings together to provide dimension for the shakers. Then, I glued a 4.25” acetate circle (that I cut out by hand) to one side.  

3. I added .25” foam squares around the edge of the paper side of the rings and set that aside.

4. For the pages, I adhered the pattern circles to the white circles. I laid 5 of them out side-by-side, glued a long piece of ribbon across them, and glued the remaining 5 circle sets on top (white circles facing in & sandwiching the ribbon). Trim off the excess ribbon on either end.

5. On the front side of the first page, I created the scene with mini icon stickers. I sprinkled on some cute spring flower shakers and adhered the acetate frame (from step 3) on top to create the cover.  

Slip the cute mini inside the Snow Globe, replace the backing that comes with it, and voila!! My spring album project is done. I can't wait to add some spring photos to this little album. 

I hope today's project with the DIY Snow Globe Kit and the Hello Again Collection inspires something wonderful! Until next time ... happy crafting 😊

DOODLEBUG SHAKERS - BUNNY HOP SNOW GLOBE | with Brianna

Hey friends! Brianna here with you today and if you've been following me for a while, you know I LOVE to make shakers! Give me anything and I'll make a shaker out of it. So of course when Doodlebug released the adorable Shakers, I couldn't wait to get my hands on them. I was so excited to work with the Snow Globe and turn it into Easter decor. Here's what I created:

To start, I traced the inside the of the glass globe on a piece of white paper and cut it out. I then traced it again on a piece of thicker white cardstock to use as my base. Once that was trimmed out, I took the spring sprouts patterned paper from the 6x6 Paper Pad and then trimmed a few narrow strips out of it. I wanted to create some grass with it so I pulled out my fringe scissors and cut into the strips. I added foam tape to the backs of each strip and before I adhered them down, I took a blue Distress Oxide Ink pad and ink blended on my sky.

I thought it would be fun to create a little scene using the Mini Icon Stickers, so I pulled out a few cute ones to help me build it. I don't have a lot of Easter/Spring decor so this was the perfect thing to create so that I can pull it out each year and display it.

I made sure to add foam tape to my stickers so that they could be dimensional and give my scene some depth and interest. The cute carrot house was perfect to layer on top of the two trees and the sun really pulled it all together. I tucked in a bunch of flowers from that same Mini Icon sheet but also pulled in a few from the Chickies Shape Sprinkles pack. To finish this cute globe, I poured in the stars of the show... the Shakers! I chose these colors: Bubblegum, Bumblebee, Mint, Cupcake and Spring Flowers. They added the perfect touch!!

To finish things, I covered a portion of the black base using the may flowers paper from the 6x6 Paper Pad and added a few phrase pieces from the Chit Chat Pack. For some extra sparkle, I adhered a few Jewels from the Easter Assortment around the base. I love how it turned out!

Thank you so much for stopping by today, I hope that I've inspired you in some way. These Shakers are so fun and I can't wait to create even more things with them! See you in my next post friends!
