HOMETOWN USA FESTIVE FLORAL SHAKER | with Miguel

Without a doubt, Doodle Cuts are one of the many Doodlebug products I love. Especially the shaker versions, since they let you play around with other products. I really enjoy making them and keeping a stash on hand to decorate special projects, though I have to admit they look beautiful all on their own!

I used the "Hometown USA" solid assortment to die cut all the pieces, and I also cut the shaker frame from foam to create the 3D depth needed to hold the shaker filling—for which I used a mix of colors this time.

Another product I recommend using are Shape Sprinkles.  They add an impressive shine to projects, making them more eye-catching and special—especially since all Doodlebug products coordinate perfectly. 

Here are some photos of the materials used for this piece. I hope you find them really useful when creating. Thanks for stopping by! See you soon.

HOMETOWN USA SHADOWBOX | with Miguel

I really enjoy making shadow boxes because they allow you to create your own design, shape, and size. I used the Shadow Box Punch Board and the Hometown USA collection for my project.

My main idea is for this shadow box to serve as a decoration during the holiday season and to capture a special moment so the memory lasts forever. I haven't had the good fortune of visiting the United States yet, but it’s a dream I want to make a reality very soon—and then frame that big day in my shadow box!


Let me tell you about the materials used in this project. I used the Solid Assortment Cardstock to create the base, and for the decoration, I used Odds & Ends and Chit Chat pieces,  layering them in 3D to create a lovely visual effect! 


I really enjoy using Doodlebug products for decorating; the variety of designs and sizes offers plenty of inspiration for adding color and life to your projects. I’ll sign off now—as always, I hope you like my idea and my work! See you soon.

COLOR ME CRAFTY - CRAFT ORGANIZER BOX | with Miguel

Color Me Crafty is undoubtedly a favorite collection among scrapbookers!  Today I created this box using the *cartonnage* technique— something I truly love and enjoy doing. I used the Color Me Crafty Solid Assortment to create contrast against the patterned paper and incorporated a shadow box as the focal point and closure for the box.

For the shadow box, I used small scraps of paper to add life and color to the project, and I decorated this lovely cover using Chit Chat and Odds and Ends pieces, adding buttons and puffy icon stickers to brighten it!


The box is constructed with several flaps, The shadow box I created serves as the closure; the entire interior is lined with designs from the Color Me Crafty collection.

I designed this box to organize small scrapbooking tools, and it also serves as decor for my workspace. Thanks for stopping by; I hope you enjoy my work, as always. See you soon!

BUTTERFLY KISSES RAINBOW NOTEBOOK | with Miguel

Today, I have another project using the Butterfly Kisses collection. This time, I made a notebook with a rainbow theme, perfect for documenting and noting to-dos in a very cute and colorful way. I covered my covers with the Solid Assortment.  I love how they offer the specific range of colors that match the collection.

I cut very thin strips from four of the patterned papers and glued them onto the cover.  I added adding some clouds and decorated with border stickers from the  This & That and the puffy words stickers, which give a super beautiful finish when it comes to phrases. 

I had a fun idea to add the tags that come on one of the sheets of the collection, which can also serve as dividers and frames for photos of very special moments.



And of course, the cherry on top is this beautiful Doodle-pop butterfly. I love how it looks in projects, especially its shiny, 3D finish.

BUTTERFLY KISSES FLORAL WINDOW BOXES | with Miguel

Creating boxes that fit our favorite products is something I really enjoy doing, especially if they're gifts for very special people! Today I created these packages with the Butterfly Kisses collection and solid assortment.

Once my boxes were built, I decorated them with butterfly Doodle-pops.  These 3D elements give a beautiful effect to projects.  I also used some Icon Stickers.

These boxes are ideal for gifting these mini antibacterial gels from a well-known brand, which also have delicious scents!


Working with Doodlebug products is something I truly enjoy because they offer innovative and high quality products and materials that combine perfectly, making it easy to spark our creativity and create beautiful projects! Thanks as always for stopping by.

BUNNY HOP SPRING BASKET | with Miguel

Working with the Bunny Hop collection isn't just about Easter; its wide variety of designs includes floral patterns that are perfect for spring or any other occasion. For my latest project, I created this spring basket, perfect for gifting chocolates on a special day like a birthday.


I made the structure with the bunny hop solids assortment in a pink tone and decorated it with the same collection, again using the technique of texturizing the paper with a quilted effect. 

I decorated with various Bunny Hop embellishments, including Bits & Pieces and Chit Chats, placing them using foam dots to give that 3D effect that I love so much! 


To make my basket more authentic and realistic, I added chunky brads to create the swivel handles. 


 I hope you really like my project! See you soon.

BUNNY HOP SEWING BASKET | with Miguel

Bringing quilting style to scrapbooking is something I really enjoy doing; it's incredible to see how with a little imagination and creativity this can be possible. Today I made this basket using the cardboard technique, shaping the cardboard to achieve the square form of a sewing basket.

Once my structure was made, I covered it with the beautiful papers from the Bunny Hop collection.  I cut the papers into small strips and textured them with embossing folders to give the appearance of this quilted style.  I then  glued the strips all around my piece. 

I  lined the inside with another design from the same collection and reinforced the entire edge with pink faux leather to simulate the bias binding of the basket. I love the result! 

For the front part, I embellished with the rabbit, chicken, and eggs from the Odds & Ends, also embossing  to coordinate with the basket.

To finish decorating, I added shape sprinkles, one for each eye, on the rabbit and the chicken. I love the result!

To finish my project, I added ribbon with stitching to maintain the style of my design, and buttons. Thanks for stopping by! I hope my work inspires you! See you soon.

LUCKY ME SPRING ORGANIZER | with Miguel

Today I decided to alter this wooden organizer with the Petite Print Assortment papers from the Lucky Me collection. This collection is so cheerful and full of color, just like Doodlebug!  First, I painted the piece with acrylic paint and then cut chipboard and decorative paper to cover the structure.


I decided to use the beautiful rainbow, from the You are My Sunshine Doodle Cuts, to be the star of my project. I personally love cutting from Doodlebug cardstock and popping up with foam in the same color to give the pieces more life and movement; this creates a 3D effect and you'll love the result. 


To give a more professional finish, I cut a very thin strip of cardstock to hide the foam  The thickness varied depending on the number of foamy layers cut.


For decoration, I used the All the Things and Puffy Icon Stickers that perfectly match the piece,


I love a unique and special piece that will look spectacular in my crafty workspace. I can put my markers and other desk tools in it. 


Thanks for stopping by! Best regards.

LUCKY ME - ST. PATRICK'S DAY SHADOW BOX | with Miguel

If I had to talk about my favorite products and tools, I'd definitely mention Doodlebug's beautiful collections! And today I used my favorite tool, the Shadow Box Punch Board, because it lets you quickly and easily make small paper frames to decorate any space.


I worked with the petite print assortment from the Lucky Me collection to make two frames in different sizes, and then I cut this beautiful bouquet of flowers with the Bunch of Luck Doodle Cuts.  For the second shadow box, I filled the frame with a cut-apart from the  the card from the St. Paddy's Plaid cardstock.

Look how incredible the die-cut looks when cut from the coordinating cardstock.  I added foam dots to each piece to make it dimensional. I also used shape sprinkles from the same collection to add light and more design to my beautiful bouquet of flowers and clovers.

Now I have two frames to decorate and brighten up my workspace! Or for any corner of our home. 


Thanks for reading and stopping by, see you soon!

LUCKY ME - ST. PATRICK'S DAY GAME | with Miguel

Working with the Lucky Me collection is very exciting because its colors and designs are so cheerful! Today I created this game, which is a classic—yes, the cat game, as we call it in my country—but this time I adapted it to the theme of St. Patrick's Day.

The structure is made with cardboard and covered with the coordinating Lucky Me Cardstock assortment.  I  then added layers of different patterned papers from the Lucky Me collection.


I cut small cubes with my Silhouette Cameo. I decorated them with  clovers and pots to for St. Patrick's Day, to replace the original X's and O's.   I think that to make it more fun you can add small prizes inside the boxes. 


To decorate, I used Puffy Icons  and All the Things.  I love the result! 


Now we have a super fun and colorful project for the upcoming St. Patrick's Day. I hope you like my idea. See you soon!
