SUMMER FUN DOODLE CUTS CARDS | with Kathy

I cannot get enough of the Summer Fun Collection, especially all of the cute Doodle Cuts Sets!  I decided to put them to use again for some level-up box cards.  Take a peek...

I love how bright and fun this collection is!  For the base of my cards I used some Outside the Box Level Up Dies from my stash.  I then pulled out all 3 doodle cuts sets...  Aloha!, Adora-Bowl and Best Fishes,  and got to work!

How cute are these little sea critters?!  I decorated the base of my card with the water side of the water babies patterned paper.  I cut the critters from the Summer Fun coordinating textured cardstock pack.  I love how the colors in these packs are just perfect!  I also cut a couple of sea plants and a pile of sand using the plants from the Adora-Bowl doodle cuts and added a starfish from the sweet shells shaped sprinkles and water bubbles from the summer splash sprinkles.  My sentiment is from the chit chat pack.

For my second card I used the cute little chameleon from the Adora-Bowl doodle cuts and lots of flowers from the Aloha! set.  I envisioned the cute critter hiding among the tropical flowers with his sweet little smile.

He's just too cute!  Again, I cut the pieces from the coordinating cardstock pack.  I covered my card base with the let's luau patterned paper.  My sentiment is from the Chit chat pack.

SUMMER FUN DOODLE CUTS SHAKER EMBELLISHMENTS | with Miguel

One of my favorite products is Doodle Cuts, as they allow you to really use your creativity to create your own embellishments for your projects with different shapes and textures.

Look how beautiful they look using Summer Fun cardstock and foam, cutting in multiple layers with the die to give greater dimension to the piece.

To decorate I used mini icons and puffy icons, I love using this product because the shine and color of these make my project stand out a lot and give it that shine on the cardstock.

In these pieces I used the shaker balls in different colors to create the stones for my fish tanks and look how beautiful this project looks.

I personally like to make these pieces so I can collect them in folders and have them handy whenever I need a nice embellishment! Thanks for reading, see you soon.

SUMMER FUN ADORA-BOWL BOX CARDS | with Kathy

Doodle Cuts are some of my most favorite Doodlebug products, and the Adora-bowl Doodle Cuts from the Summer Fun Collection are just the cutest!  I combined them with my love of everything 3D to come up with these fun cards... take a peek...

For my first card I created a fish bowl, complete with castle and floating fishies!  To build my fish bowl, I cut the shaker bowl outlines from some thin chipboard, then covered them with Swimming Pool cardstock from the Summer Fun Coordinating textured cardstock pack.  I used some heavyweight acetate for the "glass" part. On one bowl I added a piece of water paper (water babies b-side) from the 6x8 pad to look like water in the bowl.

I created a top and bottom to my bowls by cutting a piece of paper (1 1/2" x 1 5/8') and score it on the long ends 1/8" on each side.  I glued these to the top and bottom of the fish bowls.  On the bottom of the bowl I cut a piece of kraft candy stripe sprinkles paper to look like sand.  I propped it up using a folded strip of paper, then added the die cut castle and shells from the sweet shells shaped sprinkles.

To make my fish look like they are swimming, I cut thin strips of heavyweight acetate.  I glued the fish to one end, created a folded tab on the other end which I glued to the top of the fish bowl.  To complete my card I added the happy birthday from the puffy word stickers.

I featured the cute little chameleon for my next card.  Again I created the bowl, without the water backdrop.  The tops and bottoms were done in the same manner as the fishbowl.  I cut the rocks, plants and chameleon from the doodle cuts and propped them up with a paper tab on the bottom.  I finished my card with the scripty hello from the Chit Chat pieces.

Isn't he the cutest??? The nice part of these cards is they do fold flat so that I can mail them to friends!  Have you made any projects featuring the Summer Fun Collection?  Be sure to tag @doodlebugdesign so we can see what you made!  That's it for me today, thank you for stopping by to peek!

BEE HAPPY BEE PENCILS | with Miguel

Once again, the Busy Bee Doodle Cuts were my favorite product from this Bee Happy collection, and the bee design is absolutely gorgeous.  I decided to cut them out and assemble them to hang them on some pencils that were the perfect design for this collection.

I created two designs, cutting each piece from the Bee Happy Coordinating Cardstock. I love the array of colors that are available.

I cut several layers of foam to give height to my pieces.

Decorating and bringing pieces to life is something I really enjoy doing because it allows me to let my imagination run wild and create unique pieces. Here are some of my favorite products, such as Odds and Puffy Icons.

I particularly liked this idea as a nice, unique, and very original gift. The pieces are hung with a chain so they can be used later on another object. 

Have a great day!

BEE HAPPY BUSY BEE DOODLECUTS BOXCARD | with Kathy

I'm pretty sure I've said this before (and probably will again...) but the Bee Happy is one of my all-time favorite Doodlebug collections!  I adore the color palette, and the little bees are just the cutest!  I immediately fell in love with the Busy Bee Doodle Cuts and decided to create a fun box card with them.  Take a peek....

How cute are those bees??!!  To create my card, I started by cutting two of the bee hive pieces from papers from the 6x8 pad using the Busy Bee Doodle Cuts.  I also traced the same die on some Bumblebee Gingham Linen Petite prints and cut them out to back the die cut pieces.  This gave the sides of my card more stability.

I die cut some bees and flowers, all from the Busy Bee Doodle Cuts.  Using some heavyweight acetate I created a flying bee and also made the speech bubble from the This and That sheet look like it was floating.

I finished the front of the card with some die cut flowers & a mushroom.  I added some coordinating sprinkles to the flower centers and some grass clumps from the All the Things pack.

Even better, this fun little card folds flat and fits in a standard A2 envelope for mailing!  I created a quick video tutorial showing how I put this card together on my YouTube Channel here.

If you make one, be sure to tag me, and Doodlebug Design on socials, we always love to see your creations!  That's it for me today, thank you for stopping by to peek!

BERRY SWEET BOX CARDS | with Kathy

As soon as I saw the adorable little mice in the Berry Sweet collection, I knew I wanted to make some cards featuring them.  And, of course I needed to make them 3D cards, because that is so much fun!  Take a peek...

How cute are those mousies???!!!  I just pictured them sitting among the strawberries and flowers holding onto their treasures!

For both cards, I started with some Outside the Box Card dies from my stash for the bases which I cut from some lily white cardstock.   For my first card, I covered my back panel with one of the bonus papers that is available in the 6x8 pad.  The grass was also cut from another bonus paper.  I then cut lots of flowers using the Berry Sweet Treats Doodle Cuts.  I added sprinkles to the flower centers for a little dimension.  The sentiment is from the All the things pack.  I love the scripty font!  As a finishing touch I added a few Berry Blossoms shaped sprinkles.

My next card features more of the dies from the Berry Sweet Treats Doodle Cuts.  My background paper is the 6x8 version of the Strawberry Fields paper.  I wanted my mouse to look like he was standing in the middle of the strawberry field, so I created strawberry plants using the doodle cuts and a lily of the valley die I had in my stash for the stems.  The flowers are from the Berry Blossoms shaped sprinkles. I finished my card with a sentiment strip from the All the Things pack.

This collection just makes me so happy!  Have you created any projects using Berry Sweet?  Be sure to tag Doodlebug Design on socials, we love to see what you create.  That's it for me today, thank you for stopping by to peek!

BERRY SWEET EMBELLISHMENTS | with Miguel

I love working with Doodlebug's beautiful products! And this time, I let my imagination run wild, die-cutting and embellishing these embellishments with materials from the Berry Sweet collection.

To create these embellishments, I used Doodle Cuts among other dies, and I started by layering cardstock and foam to add dimension. I really like doing this to give the pieces more strength. This mouse is truly beautiful!

To decorate, I'll mention the materials I used, which I mixed together: all the things, shaped

sprinkles, and shakers.

In this piece, I used Berry Patch shakers, which are more than perfect for this cute shaker cup.

The important thing is to mix the various Doodlebug materials to create beautiful pieces.

I hope this idea works for you, and I'm more than ready to see where I can place them to make them look even better than they already do. See you soon!
