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!

SUMMER FUN - SUN'S OUT MINI ALBUM | with Niella

 Long Summer days mean more memories to be documented! Why not make some cute mini albums for a fun twist on a scrapbook album! You could create several and hand them to friends and family to use to memory keep and hand them back for safe keeping or as gifts! How magical! Hi crafty friends, welcome to my second project with the adorable Summer Fun collection. Here are some key pages, and to see the whole album, check out my showcase video at the end, yay!

My mini album is 6x3 and contains 8 6x6 pages of patterned paper, folded in half.  To assemble, fold each page across ways and secure each page back to back.  Soon you'll be left by 16 pages to decorate, yay! My favorite part. How stinkin' cute is this cover! I've used the beautiful Seashells by the Seashore paper, I adore the tangerine starfish all collectively in rows! It's topped with doodle twine and a Sam & Sally seahorse doodle pop. To complete the mini album you wrap a piece of cardstock around the front to back.  So easy and fun!

Let's take a look inside! Don't you just love the view of the tabs here! I love them all lined up, it's brings a nice collective view of each subject. This page is created with a fold out page on the left and is created with the Summer Fun paper.  This scene paper is so fun and show all the colors and beach icons! It is awesome! Love the cluster of mocktails; hello!

Skipping ahead a couple pages, shows one of my favorite patterned paper fittingly named Beach Towel. Clusters of snorkeling & seashells brings me joy.  I love the pop of colors and that sweet starfish face, so cute! The Odds & Ends ephemera pack is so versatile and has so many fun and perfect pieces to add to any project.

Here we come to the next spread with the happy Gull Friends paper.  Such cute sea birds and beach sheds! I loved putting these pages together, they fit so well against each other.  There's a fun element to this page, check out my video below to see!  The beach sheds double as a fun tuck spot for your photo's or some journaling. 

Are you ready for a Fin-Tastic interactive page crafty friends? This spread folds out and show the cuteness of the Summer School paper with the fold out Polka Dot Bikini paper and some vellum.  Another fun element is the removal dolphin from the Odds & Ends ephemera pack.  For this page I've pulled some puffy word stickers from the Puffy Word pack and highlighted these words with the scallop edges from the This & That cardstock sticker page. So cute!

The last page is so fun! This features a tuck spot, decorated tags from the Bits & Pieces ephemera pack.  Everything on these pages come together perfectly.  One of my fave pieces to use in any Doodlebug collection is the coordinating cardstock.  Every color matches the collection and can be used is so many ways. You never have to dig through your stash of cardstock to find a matching color as it's all in one pack. Genius!

SUMMER FUN - CUTE TAGS | with Niella

 Hi crafty crew, I'm so happy to see you pop into today! I bet you're having a wonderful Summer with gorgeous weather and delicious food!  I picture barbecues and cool drinks by the water! And with those delightful thoughts, I'd like to show you my first project with the new Summer Fun collection! The colors and characters are sure to charm you. Be sure to stay tuned and see my tags in my video below.  Yay!

Firstly, I started by cutting tags that measure 2 3/4" x 4.5" and then mounted them different patterned papers and then again on white cardstock.  You can be like me and add machine stitching or you could add faux stitching by using a pen and dotting along the edges. So fun!

There is so many ideas for tags! You can collate them and add them onto a ring binder for a fun tag flip or mini album.  How about pop them onto your scrapbook pages for a fun embellishment or use one to label your next gift basket for giving.  Endless ideas.

Scroll through to check out the products I've used alongside the coordinating cardstock pack.

Life's a Beach tag is made with Water Babies and Paradise Palms patterned papers.  I really love the cute cluster of tropical drinks! And the Sunny tag is created with the Paradise Palms and the Beach Towel patterned papers. How darling is the Toucan watching over the flower from the Icon Stickers. 

Here come a pair of cuties! The Hello tag is created with the Seashells by the Seashore and Flamazing Flock patterned papers. How charming are their sweet faces! I loved adding the Icon stickers on foam dots to add dimension.  The Doodle Twine cements the cuteness!  The next tag on the right is Beach (enjoying the sun) are made with the Seashells by the Seashore patterned paper and coordinating cardstock.  How adorable is the turtle and those rainbow sandals.  Darling!

The last two tags are created with more adorable-ness! The Seas the Day tag are made with the Seashells by the Seashore and Beach Towel patterned papers and don't you just love the darling starfish Icon stickers.  And the Paradise Sun Tag has been created with the Water Babies and Polka Dot Bikini patterned papers! Super fun, with equally amazing named papers! How sweet is that sandcastle and pink squid! So sweet.

BEE HAPPY STUFFED ENVELOPE TAG FLIP MINI | with Niella

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 happy and 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")

BEE HAPPY SWEET SUNSHINE MINI ALBUM | with Niella

 Buzz right on in crafty crew, so happy to see you today! With only a few days left in June, let's get into it! I am so happy to show you my first Bee Happy project with the sweetest bee mini collection to date! This 6x4 mini album is chunky! There is so many pages I want to show you and point out, so instead of more than a dozen photos; just check out the video showcase at the end, yay! Videos are a perfect way to show you projects! 

The cover is Bee-utiful! And so cute with the Bee Happy Doodle-pop! She's the queen bee and her busy workers are working hard to bring the pollen into harvest.  How sweet is the mushrooms and word stickers cluster! 

If you're like me and ADORE yellow, greens and mint blues together, you are gonna love this collection. I love the pops of black and white! Super charming!  These first two pages feature a fun mix of the All the Things ephemera and This & That stickers!

I love to add machine stitching to my album pages. It adds extra texture and helps to add areas of interest.  Look how cute the collection's Honeycomb acetate looks with the cut-apart tag and honey-pie ephemera piece. Adding acetate and vellum pages add so much interest!

Skipping ahead comes to the last couple pages in my mini album.  How cute is that bee couple? A couple of cuties right there! The vellum holds the Busy Bee shaker pieces! Can you spot how I've cut around the honeycomb to give a fun edge for my tag tuck spot? Cute idea!

This last page measures nearly 6x4 and it's so sweet with scalloped vellum tuck spot! CUTE!  The sprinkles and stickers add that final touch.  I love making little charm pieces with the Shaker pieces.  If you'd like too see all the pages, I've added the video showcase below for you, yay!
