FARMHOUSE LAYERED GIFT TAGS | with Niella

Hi crafty friends, I'm so happy to see you pop into today! How time flies when you're having crafty fun! Thanks for popping by to visit us on the blog for more inspiration, more crafting and more ideas! And with that, I'd like to show you my next cutie-ful project with the super adorable Farmhouse collection! Large layered gift tags! How cute would these be to gift for Thanksgiving or any occasion. Be sure to stay tuned for my video showcase.  Yay!

These tags are made from the 12x12 patterned paper Buffalo Plaid and it's tag-tastic as the tags are ready to be cut and layered onto cardstock for sturdiness.  In fact, these tags would be great just popped onto a card or scrapbook page or bound together to create a mini album! Sweet!

For texture, I've mounted some cardstock from the Cardstock Pack on these three tags.  For extra dimension, I machine stitched them.  I loved decorating these.  The icon stickers and sprinkles look so cute and darling together.  The best way I find for my layering of tags is too start with the tag.  Then I layer that tag onto matching card/patterned paper and then repeat the process. 

The matching 6x6 paper pad had the smaller scale tag, and I love them.  They need decorating too! How cute are the mini icon stickers and doodle twine on them! The large tags measure 6x3.75 when finished and the mini tags measure 3.25 x 2.25 when finished.  

Don't be afraid to use a lot of foam adhesive squares and pop dots to lift your accents.  See how I've layered the chick on the milk tin.  It gives dimension and visual point of views.

I love how you can leave the tags plain with the graph background or layer on a matching cardstock square on top - either way they look extra adorable with the doodle twine, sprinkles, icon stickers and machine stitching! Perfect to create and have ready on hand for those gifting additions.

Thank you again for visiting crafty crew! I hope you've found inspiration today! Please remember to tag us in our your Socials when you create with Doodlebug so we can all admire your creativity! We love seeing your creations. Until next time; doodle doo!

FARMHOUSE TAG TREAT HOLDERS | with Kathy

My project today combines some of my all time favorite things.... Fall, apple picking, baking and Doodlebug!  Farmhouse, in my opinion is the perfect autumn collection!  And my favorite paper in the collection is the tag side of the buffalo plaid cardstock.  My first thought was to make some fun fall tags, but after baking some apple cider donut mini muffins for friends, I decided to turn the tags into treat holders.  Take a peek...

Transforming the tags to treat holders was easy!  They are made up of 3 main pieces... my decorated tag, another tag cut from the same paper and a third piece cut to be the same width of my tag (slightly less than 3 3/4") by 2 1/2".  I then scored this piece along the long side 1/4" in on each side.  This piece connects the bottoms of the two tags. I attached everything using some scor-tape.

I packaged up my mini muffins in a plastic treat bag, and inserted into my holder, keeping it in place with a couple of glue dots.  I folded up the sides and tied them together with a fun buffalo check ribbon from my stash.  Here are some close-ups of each of the tag treat holders.

On each decorated tag, I first stitched a 3x4 piece of paper (cut from the 6x6 pad) to the front of the tag.  I added a sticker border strip along the bottom (from the This & That Sticker Sheet), and then added a mini doily.  Each was decorated with a combination of Odds & Ends, Chit Chats, Icon Stickers and shaped sprinkles from the Farmhouse Collection.  I used foam tape/dots to give them lots of dimension.

I just love that sweet little kitty and those bees!!! My friends loved them (and the donut muffins!) Have you made any projects using the Farmhouse collection?  Be sure to tag @doodlebugdesign on socials, we love to see your creations.  That's it for me today, thank you for stopping by to peek!

FARMHOUSE TAGS | with Conny

Hi crafty friends! It’s Conny here from The Daily Life of Creativity, and today I’m sharing a set of fun and festive tags I created with the adorable Farmhouse Collection. Tags are one of my favorite projects; they’re quick to make, great for practicing layering, and perfect to tuck onto a gift, basket, or even use as a little piece of décor!

I started by cutting four base tags measuring 6” x 3 1/2” from patterned papers in the Farmhouse Collection: Hen and Chicks, Farmhouse, Autumn Orchard, and Fall Bouquet. For the top layers, I trimmed coordinating textured cardstock pieces to 3” x 5 1/4” and adhered them to the center of each tag. This adds a nice contrast and gives the embellishments a place to shine.

Each tag features a different Chit Chat phrase banner at the top: Happy Birthday, My Sweet Potato, Happy Thanksgiving, and You’re Unbe-leaf-able. I love how these little sentiments instantly set the theme! From there, I had fun layering Odds & Ends ephemera, Puffy Icons, Cardstock Stickers, and a sprinkle of dimension with the Farmhouse “Love This” Shape Sprinkles.

To finish them, I tied chunky black tulle bows through the top of each tag. The bows add the perfect bit of texture and a bold statement against the bright, cheerful colors.

I hope these tags inspire you to grab your Farmhouse Collection and whip up some quick and happy fall projects of your own. They would be adorable tied onto homemade treats, hostess gifts, or even strung together as a mini fall banner.

Thank you so much for stopping by! I love sharing with you all my creative ways of making projects. Xo Conny!

FARMHOUSE FALL TAGS | with Niella

And just like that crafty crew it's Fall! Such a beautiful time of year to regroup, reflect and appreciate how far we've come this year! As the days become shorter and the weather starts to cool right down, there is nothing better than to get all snug and settle in for some Autumn crafting. For my first Farmhouse project I've made some adorable tags for all your Thanksgiving treats. Bring on hot soups, baking, pumpkin pie and stuffing! Bonus video at the end! Yay :-)

Each sweet tag is 5x3" and are decorated with such cute characters + has a blank back for your sentiments and a punched hole ready for stringing! You can even tuck one in your album or in a book as a mark spot! Adorbs!

Start by laying down each foundation piece. I've used matching Textured Cardstock from the collection which makes everything come together so easily. Finish off by stitching lines on your sewing machine, embroidery floss or even drawing lines for faux stitching :-)

The Farmhouse 12 x12 papers I've used are (top left to right) Fall Bouquet, Autumn Orchard. And the bottom row (left to right) is Farmhouse and Fall Floral. I could not choose a favorite paper as well! They are all so cute!

How darling are the faces on the scarecrow and woodland creatures! And the cutest buzzy bees and that Turkey! So sweet. The Odds & Ends ephemera always is so fun to go through. You're never short of options!

And the best part of making any project is the decorating! I love using as many pieces as possible for these tags! You are spoilt for choice when it comes to using Doodlebug products. From the Bits + Pieces to the Chit Chat ephemera packs and the Doodle Twine finishes these tags off so nicely!

Thank you crafty friends for visiting 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 doo!
