CUTE & CRAFTY CANDY WRAPS | with Karen

It is back to school time in the Scrappycanuck household! The summer has come to an end and we are starting to get back into the groove of things. Well....sort of...

But you know what always helps with these kinds of transitions? Doodlebug and chocolate, of course! And while the new Cute and Crafty collection is perfect for us crafters, it also happens to be PERFECT for school themed projects too! So I decided to make some little chocolate bar sliders that I could give to some of my teaching colleagues just as a way of saying, "Welcome back and here's a little something just in case!"

Chocolate bar sliders are really just a little sleeve that you create to cover a tasty treat of your choice! The ribbon is tied in a way that the bar can slide up without having to be untied. But really, if someone just needs to get right in there quickly, the bow offers a quick release method as well! 

As I was deciding on the papers I wanted to use for the project, I realized that the 4"x3" cards on the Precious Posies paper was the perfect size for my sliders and offered all sorts of cute options for my sentiments. How easy is that?

I embellished them a bit with some Sprinkles and Mini Jewels and then created the sleeve from the Bright Ideas paper - my favourite pattern in this collection actually! I added some Mini Doilies and Min Paper clips for texture and interest too! Once they were loaded up, I was all set.

Well, I have a few more of these to finish up for my pals so I better get back to the crafty table! If you are facing any transitions right now in your life, I hope they are as smooth as chocolate for you too! Thanks for stopping by!

SUMMER SUNSHINE WRAPPED IN A PILLOW BOX | with Karen

Every now and again, I happen to create a project that just warms my heart. Sometimes, inspiration is everything - like projects created for the baby shower of a couple that adopted a little cutie. Sometimes, the product is everything - like with adorable stamps and colourful patterns from Doodlebug. And sometimes, it happens to be the combination of both that leaves projects with a special place in my heart - like these little pillow box favours, the perfect combination of inspiration and amazing product! To create these little pillow boxes, I used some of my favourite textured cardstock in a variety of yellow colours - sunshine, bumblebee and lemon all make an appearance. Each was then topped with a mini doilie and a stip of Petite Prints in a stone gray featuring a variety of patterns. Some Lily White Jewels surround the cutest part of the whole box - a great combination of the sun shaped stamp from the Far Out Doodle Stamps and one of the cloud stamps from Rainbows and unicorns.

While these were designed to brighten the day of party guests, they sure brightened my day as I was creating them - all 50!! Was it worth it - well...just look at that face! Need I say more?

MAKE A WISH BIRTHDAY CARD | with Karen

March to July in my house is birthday season. Little girls together with the men in my life all seem to have birthdays during these months, so between crafting and cake baking, it is full-on for 5 months. But the time has come - the last birthday is on the horizon and I am celebrating!! Now don't get me wrong, with amazing products like the Fairy Tales collection teamed up with the new Rainbows and Unicorns stamp set, it doesn't get much more fun then pulling together projects like this little birthday card. Add some glitter sprinkles and some mini paper clips and doilies, and the cards are flying off of the crafty table! But there is something to be said for crafting just for the fun of it. And I can't wait to do just a little bit more of that in the next little while.

So here's to celebrations - of special events and of breaks from special events!
Thanks for stopping by, Hugs,

PATRIOTIC DAILY DOODLE PLANNER | with Anabelle

The Fourth of July is almost here and my red Daily Doodle Planner is ready to go! I knew I wanted to dress her up for the holiday and decided to create a patriotic swag for my front cover, along with decorating my insert. I love how I was able to mix and match items to do this. Here's how it turned out.

To make the swag, I started with the denim paper from the Down on the Farm collection. It was perfect for my 'Americana' theme. I added a small white doily to the pocket and decorated it with some Fancy Frills stickers, star clips and Abigail font stickers. I folded over a red doily and adhered the pocket to this. Now I could easily attach it to the front elastic.

You could add a small spot of velcro to hold it on, though I didn't do that and it stayed put just fine.

Next, I created a couple of little flags to tuck into the pocket. I cut the papers (also from Down on the Farm) and adhered them to toothpicks. Then, I punched the flowers and folded them for texture. Adding twine to them gives even more texture and color. I added the star shaped sprinkles and added them to the pocket using a bit of tape. Looking at them reminds me of kids waving flags at the Fourth of July parade!

To create the coordinating insert, I adhered the gingham paper, along with some pom pom trim, to my insert. I added another doily, this time I simply adhered it to the insert cover. I decorated another pocket and finished off with the punched flowers. I love how it looks inside my planner!

As you can see, I was able to create a patriotic look for my Daily Doodle without using a single piece of themed paper! That's what I love about these collections. There are so many neutral elements that can be mixed, matched and turned into what you want them to be.

Hope you have an awesome Fourth of July! Thanks for stopping by!

Petite Prints Cards | Tya's Favorite Things

Hello everyone! I have been a designer now with Doodlebug for a few years, and in those few years I have come to have some favorite products that are my go-to elements when I make my projects. I was so tickled when Doodlebug came out with 2 new Petitie Print sets. I designed a few cards showcasing the 6x6 Petite Prints.

My favorite things to design with are the Petite Prints, mini doilies, Doodlepops and Doodle Twine. Stick with these - and you have cute projects guaranteed :)

Here are a few close ups of my cards I designed. I like to really keep my cards simple, letting the products take center stage. The colors of the Petite Prints are so vibrant and the smaller patterns in the 6x6 pads are perfect for card makers.

 How cute is the little popcorn doodlepop? And this red Petite Print paper is so bright and fun!

 I love the small grid , dot and  stripe patterns , it's fun to mix and  match them all together like I did on this card above.

With so many colors, you will never be without just the right shade to match any project. Gray is sometimes a tricky color, but I had no problems getting my papers to match my Doodlepop perfectly. I like to add bows of Doodle Twine for finishing touches on my cards. 

I really had so much fun making these. The Petite Prints are honestly so fun to use and are a staple to many of my Doodlebug projects. I hope Doodlebug keeps making many, many more Petite Prints for me to use. Thanks for stopping by today! Happy Crafting!

Petite Prints Apple Treat Box | with Brigit

The new petite prints floral-graph and dot-stripe work perfectly for those projects that you want a little more than just a solid color. The petite prints are one of my favorite paper patterns to use and I'm so happy Doodlebug has come out with more patterns!

One of my favorites is the floral-graph, I used the pretty ladybug floral for this apple box from SVGCuts Miss Baker's Classroom collection. I just love this two-toned floral pattern! The base of the apple was cut out using ladybug textured cardstock. For the leaf, I used the citrus dot-stripe layered on grasshopper textured cardstock.

To decorate the box I used some items from the Down on the Farm collection; this and that stickers, odds and ends, chit chat, farm assortment sprinkles and farm friends sprinkles. I scrunched up a lily white mini doily in the center and glued the embellishments to it and glued just the top part to the top of the apple box so it can be opened without a problem. I finished off the apple with some limeade chunky twine.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
