FARMERS MARKET MONOCHROMATIC CARDS | with Niella

Hi crafty friends, I'm so happy to see you pop into today! I hope you're having a great start to a new month and season! It's a perfect time for visit us on the blog with more inspiration, more crafting and more ideas! And with that, I'd like to show you my next cutie-ful project with the Farmers Market collection! Greeting cards! How cute would these be to gift for Thanksgiving or any occasion. Be sure to stay tuned for my video.  Yay!

Did you know greeting cards were my first crafty love! I used to make them to sell many moons again.  I now enjoy making them to gift, which makes my heart sing and I need to set more time aside for more.  These adorable cards where so fun to put together.  I love the monochromic theme with fruit and vege's! Do you have a favorite?

Look how cute they look at bunched (pun intended) together! It is so hard to choose a favorite! I mean how sweet is are the yummy grapes, that darling potato, the sweet apples and the delish carrot.  They will make any recipient happy! Hi there, adorable cauliflower! Why hello there baby radish! So stinkin' cute! And those tiny mushrooms!

I used the envelopes from the card set that comes with the Farmer's Market collection and have simply sized up some white cardstock and folded in half to fit each of the envelopes.  Then using the matching shades of Buffalo Check-Woodgrain from the Petite Prints papers, I layered on a matching mini doily to create a foundation and then decorated the top with a ray of fruit and vege from the ephemera pack! 

Not only would these be great to gift, but how about framing these for decor.  You could even have these made up and gifted at Thanksgiving! So many fun ideas.  What would you suggest?  How about creating a whole bunch, individually popping in a cellophane bag and selling them! At a Farmer's Market, so cute!

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 dee!

FARMERS MARKET MONOCROMATIC CARDS | with Niella

Hi crafty friends! We're in the last days of August already! Hasn't this year gone so fast! A new season is just around the corner! I am so happy to be bringing you some fresh produce from Farmers Market Collection today. Monochromatic greeting cards in raspy red, yippee yellow, gorge green and pretty purple tones, so sweet + savory! And there's a video showcasing each card and it's core at the end of this blog post - double win!

First, I started with the coordinating  card and envelope pack in this collection. I adore the colors and matching envelopes. These card packs are all matched to the Farmers Market collection and are super handy! I picked 4 from the 6 choices. Then, I reached into my Doodlebug stash and whipped out the Buffalo Check/Woodgrain Petite Prints in Cherry, Limeade, Orchid and Bumblebee to cut the front panel.

Next, using the Odd's & End's Vege Garden ephemera pack, I've handpicked several adorable fruits and vegetables we all love to cook with and eat! How cute is are the onions and the peppers! And that super cute radish? Deliciously cute!

I used foam dots and squares to pop the ephemera pieces from the card to give dimension! I love decorating in clusters and love adding in word sentiments and captions. Delightful! Lastly, I've decorated the front with Sprinkles - plain and glitter and Puffy Sprinkle Hearts. It gives each card that extra pizzaz! And as always, I use the doodlebug design logo on a couple of cards. I love that little touch of brand on my projects!

Which is your favorite? Aren't they super darling all together like one big happy family! You're sure to love making these! How about a fresh basket full of fruit and veggies and a card to gift? Even have some made up and if you sell produce at your local farmers market, you could have a whole bunch of cards to sell as well. That's fruit-ful and super fun, right!

BONUS: Let's watch the video to see the core of the cards!

Thanks a bunch crafty crew 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!

MONOCHROMATIC CARDS | with Karen

I don't know about you, but sometimes I can get into a bit of a rut with my projects. Sometimes they all start looking the same! So when Doodlebug released the new Confetti Shape Sprinkles and Sunshine Alphas, I decided to challenge myself to do something totally different! No stamps, no patterned paper! WHAT?! The best part? I love how this project turned out!

 

I went for a monochromatic look by choosing some Confetti Shape Sprinkles and Sunshine Alphas that matched some of the Doodlebug Cards and Envelopes sets that I happen to love!

 

Using some of the card bases that have a cutout window, I simply filled the shape in with the Sprinkles. I love that when you open the card, the Sprinkles create the shape of the window!

 

I then grabbed some of the Sunshine alphas and decided on some generic sentiments for my cards. With the help of my trusty tweezers, I had them centered and place in no time!

 

 It's a subtle and simple card but packs all the Doodlebug cuteness we have all come to love!

 

I can't wait to mix up the colours in some of my future projects! These two products are definitely going to become a staple in my crafting collection...er...I mean, supplies!  Thanks for stopping by!
