OH WHAT FUN STAMPED CARDS | with Karen

It's time to get out the markers or colouring tool of your choice because the new Oh What Fun Doodle Stamps are in the hoooooooouuuuuuse! You know I love to colour, and there is nothing better than a set filled with the cute characters and icons of Doodlebug. Oh What Fun is no exception, so I had to share some fun cards with you today!

This card set features a few of the different shapes you will find in the Oh What Fun set. Backed up by some paper from the 6X8 patterned paper, these amazing shapes pop right off the card.

This stamp set features some beautiful shapes like these ornaments that you can mix and match in different ways to make each card unique. I happened to colour each shape the same to speed up my process (so many cards to make this time of year), but if you coloured each one up individually, your cards would be even more unique!

And then, to make them easy to cut out, grab the coordinating Doodle Cuts and you will be all set to add the stamped images onto your cards. I used a little foam adhesive for a bit of pop, but sometimes with cards being mailed, a flatter approach might be better!

Finally. finish them off with some cute Shape Sprinkles from the Snow What Fun set and a sentiment from the Chit Chat pack, and these cards are ready to head out the door. And what perfect timing because I need to make room on my table to make some more! Thanks for stopping by! Hugs,

SUMMER FUN FLAMAING CARDS | with Karen

Hey everyone! Today I am so excited to share with you a little card set that sort of created itself using the adorable Flamazing Doodle Stamps that coordinate with the new Summer Fun collection. It was not at all what I had designed in my head but as I started creating, the flamingos just seemed to tell me they wanted to go in a different direction. And I say, always listen to the flamingos!

The Summer Fun collection is a really bright and bold collection, so when I first started colouring up these flamingos, I imagined that I would back my cards with some of the fun bold blues and pinks that you can find in a variety of the patterned paper. But as I started laying the flamingos out on the card bases that I used from the Summer Cards & Envelopes set, the flamingos decided that they really wanted to be the starts of the show. And really, they are so cute and tranquil that I couldn't argue! Although I love all the papers in this collection, the flamingos could really stand on their own (see what I did there?!).

So, on one card, I simply used a Mini Doily in Bubblegum as the background and then layered the stamps on top, finishing it off with a few Mini Jewels, also in Bubblegum. And to create a bit of extra dimension, I stamped the flamingo twice just to be able to cut out the wing and adhere it with some foam adhesive so it stuck up a bit. I also added one of the palm tree stamps and a few leaves which I cut out with the coordinating Flamazing Doodle Cuts to enhance the shape of the doily.

On the other two cards I did use a bit of the patterned paper together with a doily (in bubblegum and swimming pool) and a small piece of textured cardstock in Swimming Pool for a mat. Polka Dot Bikini and Water Babies in the 12x12 were my choice because I wanted a simple patterned paper that just added a bit of colour and didn't outshine the flamingos (like that was possible). On these two cards I also cut out a second flamingo for the wing to layer but instead of using foam adhesive, I just glued it towards the round end (where it would attach to a flamingo in theory) and left the rest for that layered look without the bulk.

These cards give off a light and airy feel - a little more clean and simple than I was planning with this collection. But I love them that way, and I love that you can take a collection like Summer Fun and create something totally different.

I hope you love these beautiful flamingos as much as I do! I think it's fair to say that they knew what they needed! Thanks for stopping by! Hugs,

BERRY SWEET STAMPED CARDS | with Karen

You know when you come across something and it is so cute that you are just at a loss for words? That is how I feel about the new Berry Sweet collection from Doodlebug. I am not even sure what to say (which is kind of bad when you are trying to write a blog post). So maybe a picture will help me to get going.

I mean, come on! This collection reminds me of all the sweetness of my childhood. Think Strawberry Shortcake but for crafters! It's been awhile since I had my stamping tools out but this delightful set had me reaching for them immediately!

This stamp set has all the cute images you have come to count on from Doodlebug. Big characters and smaller embellishment stamps like the little flower and leaf here make all sorts of combinations possible.

And this little mouse? I could colour him and cute him out with the coordinating die cut set all day! Oh, and the All the Things die cuts are perfect for little embellishments and sentiments for all your projects.

Did I mention the patterns?! The paper patterns in this collection are stunning. They add a level of detail to your projects without you even having to try hard! If I owned a bakery, I would wall paper the walls with all these cute papers.

This collection is actually beyond sweet. I am not even sure what else to say. Except grab it now - you will have no regrets! Thanks for stopping by! Hugs,

6 X 8 MINI ALBUMS - HELLO 2025 RECAP | with Kathy

I have had so much fun working on my Hello 2025 Mini Album!  Documenting my favorite moments from each month has been so enjoyable!  Today I have a couple more pages, and a run-through of all of my pages to date.  My hope is to keep adding to my book each month!

After my last post, I took a few more pics that I wanted to document.  That is the beauty of these mini albums, it's so easy to just "add in" pictures!  For these photos, I used one of the cards from the Rainbow Card Collection.  I punched holes using the inserts as a guide.  It was the perfect way to fit in more photos! Take a peek...

On the front of the card, I added some Odds & Ends & Chit Chat pieces from the Lots of Love Collection.

Inside the card I added a strip of Cupcake Floral/Graph Petite Prints as a matt and added my photo.  I embellished with stickers from the This & That, a tab from the Bits & Pieces and the date using some Ladybug Alphabet Soup Stickers.

On the back of the card I added another favorite photo of my buddy giving me some snuggles. 

In addition to these photos, I also prepped my calendar inserts for March & April.

I've added these pages to the ones you've already seen... here are a few of my favorites!  Also, I created a short video flip through of my album at the end!

Here's a video flip through of my pages to date.

I already have my next pages planned, and I can't wait to share them with you!  If you've been working on one of our 6x8 Mini Albums, be sure to tag Doodlebug on Socials.  We love to see what you create.  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek.

6 X 8 MINI ALBUMS - HELLO 2025 PART 4 | with Kathy

Hi Everyone!  I'm back with some February pages from my 6x8 Hello 2025 Mini Album!  If you missed my previous posts, you can find my cover post here, my quarterly dividers here, and my January pages here.  I've really been trying to take more photos!  I got some fun ones for the month so far!  I documented them using the Lots of Love collection, take a peek...

I love the 3x4 pocket pages that come with the 6x8 mini albums!  They are the perfect size for the cut-apart sheets that come with Doodlebug collections.  I used some from the Lots of Love collection, and "dressed" them up a little.

I added the Hello Love Doodle-pop to the first card. I also added some shaped sprinkles (clouds and hearts) to the balloon card.  The February Memories piece was cut from the lists side of the Forever Flowers paper. I stamped February using the Calendar - Handwritten Doodle Stamps and finished with some Mint Alphabet Soup and Puffy Heart Stickers.

I created a heart-shaped sticker collage (think shadowbox inserts...) for the last insert.  The Xoxo was cut using the Love You Doodle Cuts.

We made a quick trip to NYC to visit my daughter... and took her and her roommate to dinner.  Such a fun night!  My city skyline was cut from petite prints using a die from my stash.  The little balloon is from the mini icons. I used the fun word stickers and tab from the This & That sheet and a pennant from the Chit Chats to embellish my pics.

My next spread includes photos from Valentine's Day and a February calendar, similar to what I created in January.

I took a few snaps of Valentine's fun!  I found some time to make cards for my loves (and a loaf of sourdough for my daughter!)  We also went to my bestie's house for a Valentine's dinner...complete with lots of festive treats (and my little buddy!!)  The photos are mounted on some Cupcake Candy Stripe/Sprinkles Petite Prints.  I used stickers from the This & That, Mini Icons and shaped Sprinkles to embellish.

My final page is another calendar print out.  I decorated one of the album's pocket dividers to hold the calendar using Lots of Love papers, a Chit Chat and some Love Hug Bugs Doodle-pops! The Hello cut is from Hello Fall Doodle Cuts.  On the calendar, I used some Icon Stickers, Bits & Pieces and the cute bear stamp from the Doodlebug/Simon Says Stamp Happy Mail Stamp set. 

I'm really enjoying documenting my everyday & special events in the 6x8 format!  I'll be back in a couple of weeks with more from my album and a complete run through to date! Thanks for stopping by to peek!

6 X 8 MINI ALBUMS - HELLO 2025 PART 3 | with Kathy

Hi Everyone!  I'm back with the first monthly pages of my 6x8 Hello 2025 Mini Album!  If you missed my previous posts, you can find my cover post here, and my quarterly dividers here. As I previously mentioned, one of my goals this year is to get back to documenting both the everyday and special moments.  I created a couple of page spreads for my January moments... take a peek...

I designed my album cover and dividers to coordinate with any Doodlebug Design collection, to give myself lots of flexibility. I love that it's so easy to mix & match collections!   I decided for my January pages that I would use the primarily the Snow Much Fun collection.  After all, I live in New England and it is cold! 

I thought it would be fun to add a calendar element to my book.  I downloaded a 5x7 printable calendar from Etsy (link listed below) .  I used the All Occasions Everyday, All Occasions Holidays and Special Delivery Doodle Stamps to document activities though the month.  I backed my calendar with papers from the Snow Much Fun Collection and embellished with some Mini Icons and Shaped Sprinkles.

My first photos are from New Years of course! These photos made me laugh... quite the difference between what the 20-somethings and the 50-somethings do on NYE!!   I started by layering some papers from the Snow Much Fun Collection.  I added some Acetate fireworks from the Hometown USA collection and some Snow Much Fun Puffy Stickers in their centers.  My title was done using some Silver Alphabet Soup Stickers.

My next pages were created to highlight some of my favorite photos from the month.  

For my first page I started with papers and a border sticker from the  This & That Stickers from Snow Much Fun.  The January sticker is from the Day to Day collection, and "moments" was done using Teensy Type Stickers.  I printed some favorite pics from the month, and added them with some frames created with a die from my stash.  I embellished each photo with some stickers and sprinkles from various collections including French Kiss and Party Time.  Again, I love how easy it is to mix and match collections!

My last page holds some of my favorite photos from the month!  I got to babysit my bestie's grandson.  He is just the happiest, cutest little man!!!  I backed my phots on papers from Snow Much Fun and then added stickers from Special Delivery.

I'm really enjoying documenting all the big and small moments of 2025!  The smaller format makes it easy to keep up with, and the standard color palette of Doodlebug collections makes it so easy to mix things up!  Be sure to keep checking back all this month for more 6x8 Mini Album Inspiration!  Have a great day!
