FARMERS MARKET TRUCK BOX CARD | with Kathy

I will miss summertime, but I really believe that Fall is the best season!  The colors, the cooler temps, the apple cider donuts.... it is my favorite time of year!  And Farmers Market is one of my all time favorite collections!  I decided I wanted to play with the So Thankful Doodle Cuts and turn them into a 3D box card.   Take a peek...

How cute is that little truck??  I pieced the truck "sides" together using papers from the 6x6 pad, the coordinating textured cardstock pack and some petite prints.  I created a second, mirror image of the truck side by cutting the die pieces from the opposite side of my patterned papers.  I added some Fall assortment sprinkles to my tires for a little dimension and shine.

To attach the sides of my truck together to form my box, I cut two pieces of paper, each 1 1/4" w x 3/4"h.  (one from the bon bon cardstock, one from the orange plaid paper from the 6x6 pad)  I scored each paper at 1/8" and 1 1/8" along the long side.  I glued the tabs to each end of the truck, approximately 3 1/16" apart. (see below).  I then added the other side of the truck to complete my "box."

To add my puppy and veggies to the inside of the truck, I created an insert strip using our heavyweight clear acetate.  It measured 3 9/16" w x 3/4"h.  I scored each end 1/4" in, and glued it to my front and back truck sides, centered inside the box.  I added  stickers from the Farmers Market and Veggie Garden Puffy stickers to create my little "scene." Here are some close ups...

A hint when working with stickers... I use a powder tool to "de-stick" my stickers first.  I add adhesive where needed and insert them into my card.  This prevents the card from sticking together when folding into an envelope.  I finished my card by hand cutting a little speech bubble, and stamping the HELLO sentiment from the It's Fall Y'all Doodle Stamps.

MY HAPPY PLACE SUCCULENT BOX CARDS | with Kathy

I'm in love with so many icons in the My Happy Place Collection.  Some of my most favorites are the adorable little succulent plants.  They just make me happy!  I decided to turn a couple of them into 3D Box cards.  Take a peek...

I started with the My Happy Place Pot of Succulents SVG from the Lori Whitlock SVG shop.  I thought they would be so cute as cards!  For my first card I used the Love This and Enjoy the Ride papers for my pot.  I pieced together my plant from the Love Grows Here paper and a Petite print from the coordinating petite prints pack.

To complete the card, I added the sweet little birdie from the Home Tweet Home Doodlepop and the Hello speech bubble from the Chit Chat pieces.  I just LOVE that cute bird!

For my next card I used the Cozy Spot cardstock for my pot.  I love the pops of black in this collection, it really makes the other colors shine even brighter!  For my cactus I combined the Enjoy the Ride paper with the Mint to Be paper... again.. the pops of black are fabulous!  I cut the hearts from some papers from the 6x6 pad and a coordinating Petite print.

To finish the card I added the Happy Birthday Banner from the Chit Chat pack and some of the flowers from the Flower Garden Doodle Pop... I know it's a miracle, I actually used 2 Doodlepops!!

These cards are now ready to be mailed off!  Have you created any projects with the My Happy Place Collection or cut files?  Be sure to tag Doodlebug Design on Facebook and Instagram... we love to see what you create!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

BAR-B-CUTE PICNIC BOX CARD | with Kathy

There's something special about a picnic... yummy food, outside in the fresh air, with friends!  That's what inspired this fun box card.  Even better, this picnic has no calories!  Take a peek...

I filled my basket with a bunch of the food icons from the Bar-B-Cute Odds & Ends pack, I just love the smiles,they really make me happy!    I used the red & white check paper from the 6x6 pad for my table cloth, and the sentiment is from the Chit Chat Pieces.  Here's a close-up...

And of course I had to complete the look with an ant from the Picnic Parade Sprinkles.  They are the only ants that don't require a call to the exterminator!
