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!

SUMMER FUN SHADOW BOX | with Miguel

Summer moments are magical and unforgettable, so I decided to create this shadow box with a beautiful photograph of an afternoon by the pool, giving it color and life with Doodlebug's beautiful Summer Fun collection.

For this composition, I cut several pieces of paper from the collection and made small rolls to incorporate them once I had prepared my base with cardstock and the wave acetate.

I previously painted a wooden frame with blue acrylic paint to give it that summer color.

Then I added my photo and started putting together my composition with Doodle-pops, shape sprinkles, and chit chat. I loved the result because it gave me a 3D effect, making it look more real. 

Thanks for reading. See you soon.

CANDY CARNIVAL SHADOW BOX TREAT BAG | with Kathy

Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays... I mean let's face it, any holiday that's centered around getting candy... how can you not love it??  Even more fun is candy in cute packaging.  The Candy Carnival Collection makes this easy!

How fun is this little shadow box treat bag?  I cut the bag from the Ring Toss Paper using a metal die in my stash.  I then cut a window in one side of the bag and covered it with acetate. I made a little scene using the pumpkins and moon from the Happy Halloween Stamp set and placed it behind the window using some foam tape to give it dimension.  All that was left was to fill the bag with some treats and tie it closed with some Doodle twine!  And of course I added the little spider stamp... Doodlebug spiders are the ONLY kind of spiders I like! 

We would love to see your projects featuring Candy Carnival!  Be sure to tag Doodlebug Design on Facebook and Instagram!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

Happy Easter | Bacon & Eggs Shadow Box by Melinda

To get the most from our products we quite often need to 'think outside the box' when it comes to themes and holidays. You don't always need to have elves for Christmas, hearts for Valentine's Day or bunnies at Easter. Sometimes you can get away with using cute icons that don't depict the holiday you are working on but they have the perfect color scheme.  

My Easter project today doesn't have a single bunny or chicken in sight, however, it is covered in eggs... along with bacon, waffles, pop tarts and a few hearts thrown in for good measure and will make the perfect Easter gift for my youngest son who loves nothing better than a cooked breakfast. Don't get me wrong... he also loves chocolate so hopefully Easter Bunny drops in a few chocolates on his way past.

To create the shadow box I started off with a base of Swiss Dots vellum and placed a heart shape underneath to use as a template. I then adhered the largest of the icons evenly across the heart before filling in all the gaps with smaller embellishments.

Using Doodle-Pops and Sprinkles along with stickers gives a wonderful dimension to the project from all the different thicknesses in the layers. And how cute are those egg Doodle-Pops from the 'So Punny' collection?

Doodlebug have both 12 x 12 and 8 x 8 shadow box frames in white, black and brown. For this project I used the smaller size frame in white. Shadows boxes are a perfect way to create a gift for someone that has a little bit of dimension and a whole lot of fun.
