DOODLE STAMPS EASTER CARDS | with Kathy

Easter will be here before we know it!  I got a head start on some fun Easter Cards using both the Hoppy Easter and Hippity Hoppity Doodle Stamps and Doodle Cuts.  These sets go so well together, it's easy to create fun little scenes.  Take a peek...

For my first card, I mixed the cute little bunnies and Egg Hunt sign from the Hoppy Easter Doodle Stamps with the trees and fence from the Hippity Hoppity Doodle Stamps.  The cloud paper is from the Spring Things Collection, and is called April Showers.  This is one of my all time favorite paper!  I think I may have bought about 20 sheets worth!!!  The grass was made from citrus Gingham Linen Petite Prints.

I just love those little bunnies peeking out from the grass!  For my next card I got to use my all time favorite Doodlebug stamp.... the adorable little bunnies in the punch buggy car from the Hippity Hoppity Stamps.  I set up a scene where they were driving through the trees.  

The little bunnies peeking out the back window... they are just too cute!!  And I think that a pink punch buggy would be awesome!  

Have you made any cards with the Hoppy Easter or Hippity Hoppity Doodle Stamps?  Be sure to tag Doodlebug Design on Facebook and Instagram, we always love to see what you create!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

TAGS & TREAT BOXES PERFECT FOR EASTER | with Stephanie

Today I am sharing tags and treat boxes featuring the cute Hoppy Easter Doodle Stamp images and 6x6 paper from Simply Spring and Hoppy Easter.  To add a little extra interest and dimension I attached mini action wobbles to the bunnies to make them wiggle.  

First I stamped and die cut an assortment of bunnies, baskets, carrots, colored eggs and grass, and colored them. I die cut some gift tags and arranged little grassy scenes with the bunnies front and center.  

I tied some ribbon and twine to the top of the tags. 

Here's a peek at the action wobble behind the bunny.  

I die cut 2 treat boxes an arranged and adhered similar scenes to the front of the boxes.

To finish I put some pastel paper shred and some Easter candy inside my boxes.  

These adorable little bunnies make me smile, I hope they bring a little smile to you too!  Thanks for stopping by today!

DOODLEBUG STAMPS - EASTER CARDS | with Karen

One of the most fun parts about stamping is experimenting and playing around with products and product combinations. Recently, I was thinking about how much I loved the Woodland Friends stamp set and I decided to see if there was a way I could use them in a different way. Given that Easter is around the corner, it seemed fitting to see if the little bunny character could live out his dream of becoming the Easter Bunny. And as we all know, in the world of crafting, anything is possible! Each of these cards features the bunny and tree from the Woodland Friends set. The pink card also features the two adorable little birds. And while the pink card shows that you can make an Easter-themed card without any actual "Easter"-themed stamps, I thought it would be fun to mix in some cute stamps from last year's Hoppy Easter collection. Together the sets are a perfect combination for the season! The designs of each of these cards are simple - a few matted layers of patterned paper from the adorable Hoppy Easter collection and you are all set. Some cute Petite Prints paper was also used just to matte the stamped images. Top them off with some mini doilies and mini paper clips for texture - two products that a card-makers dream - and your cards are all set to send out those you love. And while you are waiting to send them out, they will brighten up your work space and bring a smile to your own face! It's a win-win!

So feel free to mix it up! Have a look through your stamps and see what kind of fun combinations you can come up with! We can't wait to see what you create.

OH BOY! STAMPED CARD | with Kathy

When I make cards, I love making little scenes... this is even easier to do when you combine Doodlebug Stamps and Papers!  Take a peek...

The Simply Spring Oh Boy! Stamps and dies are so cute!  I loved the little boy on the swing and thought it would be cute to combine him with the clouds paper from the Simply Spring 6x6 pad and the grass paper from the Hoppy Easter 6x6 pad to make a summery scene. 

I embossed the images to make them pop a bit more, and layered everything using a bit of foam tape to give it more dimension.    Such a fun way to brighten someone's day!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

GUEST DESIGNER | Wanda Guess

We are thrilled to introduce our special Guest Designer - Wanda Guess and we know you are going to love Wanda's beautiful card creations.

Hi! Wanda here! So excited to be a guest designer for one of my favorite companies! I have been stamping and scrap-booking for 25 years now. My love of card making led me to start my blog ten years ago. I have me so many lovely and talented people through crafting. I love bright colors and embellishments for my projects. My motto is 'more is more' and I enjoy combining colors and textures. My first creative passion is photography. I live in Northern California with my husband and our sweet cat Lucky. I try to do something creative every day! If I'm not making cards, I'm probably on Instagram. Thanks to Doodlebug for this fun opportunity to share with you today.

Recently I received a big ole box of happy from Doodlebug Designs! YIPPEEE! Long one of my very favorite companies. I adore their sweet style and cute images. They always make me smile. (And I totally collect their awesome pins too!) I received this box because Doodlebug recently revamped their clear stamps products and now they have matching dies for all their stamp sets too! I made some projects yesterday and can't wait to share them with you. So cute for Spring and Easter. Lots of bright color and just down right cuteness.

REVIEW: For my review of the stamps - they stamp nicely, straight out of the package. No bare spots or ink blotching. A+ in that regard. When I went to open the dies, much to my excitement, I found out that they are pre cut! AWESOME! You don't have to cut them apart with your snippers! I love that some companies are starting to do this now. It's such a nice touch. So, I definitely recommend the Doodlebug stamps/dies.... And you guys know I'm addicted to their shape Sprinkles already. But we won't go there today. 

First up is a bright and colorful Easter Card! The finished card is A2 size with a white card base. I layered a strip of that gorgeous plaid paper on the right side, and then layered more white on top of that piece. Next I stamped and die cut out all those adorable shapes, and colored them with Copic Markers! I used colors to match the patterned paper so it all goes together.

The sentiment was stamped and die cut out with a banner from my stash. I added some flowers and leaves to complete the banner edge!

I die cut a stitched circle out of white and then a larger stitched circle using the grass patterned paper. Then I layered on my bunny, lamb and Easter basket! SO SWEET! I added a few more of the shape sprinkles tiny flowers.

Here are some of my supplies! 

Next up is a cheerful all occasion card sure to make someone smile!! The card is an A2 white card base. I layered beautiful golden yellow floral paper to make my bottom layer. I die cut a stitched rectangle from Neenah cardstock. I used the Polka Party Stencil from Taylored Expressions to make a dots background. I faded out the color from the bottom right up to the top left. Just thought it looked happy!! 

The 'grass' layer is part of a scalloped rectangle die cut, cut to fit. I used Twisted Citron Distress Ink to color it a bright green.

I stamped and die cut out the bee, the sun and the little girl and colored them with Copic Markers.

Isn't she sweet!? Sending you Sunshine!! 

That's it for me today! Wishing you a blessed, happy and creative weekend! See you soon! XOXO

NSD 2019 | Hap-Pea Birthday Box Card with Kathy

Who's having a lovely National Scrapbooking Day?  Glad you have been joining in on our fun today!  I was lucky enough to find some time to play... so I pulled out my Doodlebug stash and my Silhouette and got to work!  As soon as I saw the adorable little vegetables in the Hoppy Easter Cut Files Collection, I knew I had to create a card for my gardening friend!  I saw the pea file, and my mind started churning... I decided to make a 3D box card with it!  Take a peek...

I started with the Hoppy Easter Peas File to make the pea pod box shape and the Hap-pea Birthday sign.  I added faces to the peas (I used the faces from the Simply Spring Bees file)  It needed one more thing so I decided to add little birthday hats to the peas.  I made the hats using the Sweet Party Hats File from the Fairy Tales collection.   The card folds flat for mailing.  I know my friend will love it!  Are you using any Doodlebug Cut Files or Collections for a project today?  Make sure to tag Doodlebug Design on social media, we'd love to see your creations!

STAR STUDDED LAYOUT | with Tegan

Do you still have a few favorite pictures from Easter that need to be scrapbooked? I sure do! And I was more than happy to get out the adorable Hoppy Easter collection again to document those photographs! I love creating with this collection. The adorable bunnies and chicks and fun color scheme just make me so happy! I also had fun creating a cool background using the Doodlebug Lots O Luck Lucky Shapes cut file set!

​

I created the fun background by using the star shape to make a random star pattern in my die cut machine software. I then die cut out my pattern on white cardstock. I then die cut the same pattern using Bubblegum and Swimming Pool Petite Prints patterned paper. I adhered these second two cut outs off center (the Bubblegum one offset to the left and the Swimming Pool one offset to the right) to make a border on the star cut out. I then backed the entire page with the colorful Easter Egg Hunt patterned paper. I just love how cool and colorful the stars are! I used lots of Odds & Ends pieces to make my title. And how cute is that little Easter Cute Clip carrot?!

​

I used my favorite patterned papers from the collection to back my photo and added more Odds & Ends pieces. I used This & That Stickers (the rainbow border and pink squiggle line) to embellish the side of the page. 

​

Thanks for joining me today! I hope I have inspired you to finish documenting your Easter pics using the Hoppy Easter collection!

3D TOUCAN | with Jennifer

Hello everyone. I'm always inspired by the Doodlebug products I get to play with. So for my second Spring project, I decided to use a sentiment sticker from the Simply Spring collection as my starting point. I paired it with a cute toucan cutting file, and here's what I came up with.

The sentiment sticker was first mounted to chipboard. I then removed some flowers from a Doodle-Pop and used them to embellish the floral swag.

The toucan cutting file was cut from chipboard using my Silhouette and then mounted to layers of foam board.

Most of the bird was covered in paper, as usual. But for the toucan's back and tail feathers, I used a leaf shaped die. The green part of the wing is a cabbage Doodle-pop turned upside-down.

Two pieces of wood were used as the base. Flower shaped sprinkles and Doodle-pops were added for color.

Thanks so much for joining me today. Happy crafting everyone! :)

SIMPLY SPRING | Notecard Set with Kathy

Today it seems that all communication is done electronically.  We rely on text, email and social media messages, forgetting how much it means to others when we send a little hand-written note or card, and how much we enjoy receiving them!  I thought it would be fun to create a little set of note cards in a box to give as a gift.  This would make a great present for a mom, friend or teacher...take a peek...

I used a few of  the new Doodlebug Stamp Sets to create the cards.  I kept them pretty simple... just a small 3x3 card with an image and a sweet sentiment, backed with papers from the Simply Spring and Hoppy Easter 6x6 pads.  I even made little coordinating envelopes from the 12 x 12 coordinating papers.  Here are some close-ups of the cards...

To house them I created a little box using Silhouette Model Maker.  I decorated it with some of the flowers from the Garden Flowers Craft Kit, the Spring Fling Odds & Ends and a cute little butterfly from the Little Critters Shaped Sprinkles.

The cards and envelopes fit perfectly!

If you would like to make a set for yourself, I have the Silhouette files for the box and envelope on my blog here.  If you do use the files, be sure to tag Doodlebug on social media, we'd love to see what you make!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!
