Buzz right on in crafty crew, so happy to see you today! The starting of a new month means new crafty projects, let's get into it! I am so happy to show you my second Bee Happy project with the sweetest bee mini collection to date! This envelope stack is super adorable! And the best bit is, you can use any three envelope sizes! They'll look just as cute once decorated and stuffed with goodies to gift! There is a video showcase at the end to see it in motion. Yay!
The first envelope measures 4"x6.5" (body 4") and is created from the sweet bee-utiful patterned paper. I have a tutorial on my YouTube channel if you'd like to make your own or if you have an envelope making board that is fine as well. I've made matching greeting cards inside the first two envelopes which you'll see my open in my video.
The middle envelope is so stinkin' cute, don't you agree! It's made from my favorite patterned paper bee happyand this envelope measures 5"x8" (body 5.5"). Look at that delightful beehive home. Don't make too much noise, baby bee is zzzzz! Cutie!
I loved decorating my envelope tag flip. Because this Bee Happy collection is a mini collection, the ephemera pack is super handy as All The Things because there is such a fun variety of ephemera pieces all in one packet, so darling!
The back envelope is simple and secretly stores a gift. How pleased would you be to get some Bee Happy Doodle Stamps! This envelope could hold photos, journaling and gift cards! So many ideas. It measures 6"x9" (body 6.2")

I am absolutely in love with Doodlebug's new Land that I Love Collection! And there’s just something special about the red, white and blue color combination that makes me happy. It’s awesome for 4th of July cards, layouts, albums and other projects, but doesn’t always have to be just for that! For today’s project I created an assortment of cards and tags using a bunch of elements from this adorable collection. Here’s a look:
First up is my slimline card. This card meausres approximately 3 1/2" by 8 1/2” and what I love about this size, is that it opens up the possibility to use longer elements in the odds and ends die cut packs, like the cute banners and phrases. The hello sentiment is a die from the All Occasion Doodle Cuts set which I cut 3 times and layered to give it a little dimension. I used some Doodle Pop and Sprinkles stickers to embelish my scene.
Next are two cards measuing approximately 3"x 4”. I used some of the 6x6 pattern papers and a couple of the Summer Streamers cut apart cards (which I trim down a little on every side) as well as Odds and Ends pieces that I layered on top, and adhere with foam tape for dimension. The shape sprinkes are so dang cute, I use them all the time to give my projects an added pop of color and an element of glossy shine.
For some of my layers I used stiched pierced and scallop circle and square dies.
Lastly, are the tiny 3”x 3” cards and a couple tags. I used lots more 6x6 pattern paper, some square Cut Aparts and for the tags, of course more Doodle Pops!
I know you are going to love playing with this new Collection as much as I have and we can’t wait to see what you create- so be sure to share your projects on Doodlebug’s social media!
