BUTTERFLY KISSES ABSOLUTELY YOU TICKET MINI ALBUM | with Niella

 Happy May crafty crew! How fast has the first four months of the year gone by! Welcome to the blog today, nice to see you :-) For my next Butterfly Kisses project I created a ticket mini album.  I adore this shape and it's so easy to recreate by using a 1" circle punch.  Simply cut your pages to be 6x4" and then notch each corner and the top + bottom of each page and then you have ticket pages, yay! Stay tuned for ALL the pages in the video showcase at the end!

Hi there sweet little froggy! You look so sweet amongst the Butterfly Kisses Doodle-pops! My mini album is titled Absolutely You, and is designed as a cute gift for Mother's Day or Galentine's gift. You can even recreate this for yourself!

I love the details of layering puffy stickers, odd's & ends, chit chat and bits + pieces ephemera alongside the icon stickers, with each Doodlebug collection, there is just so much to create with! You will never be short of having things to use! I also loved making my own tabs for this album, once you learn, you'll want to tab everything :-)

I adore the spring colours in this collection alongside all the sweet faces, icons and characters.  It's hard choose a favourite right! You'll also love that Doodlebug have coordinating cardstock bundles as well, which means crafting is made easier for you.  Fun! 

Have you seen the new puffy sticker addition? They're the Puffy Words! Say what? I know, they are super fun and I loved using them and mixing and matching words; that's the best part of crafting, you cannot make mistakes, everything is trial and error in a good way ;-)

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 doo!   Enjoy the video showcase!

BUTTERFLY KISSES RESET, REFRESH, REWILD MINI ALBUM | with Conny

Hello everyone, and Happy International Scrapbooking Day! It's Conny here, and I'm back to share a lovely album using the Butterfly Kisses Collection, which is perfect for celebrating a day full of creativity!

Let's get started!   For the Album Base I cut 3 pieces of chipboard:  2 pieces measuring 8 1/4” x 4” for the front and back covers and 1 piece measuring 8 1/4” x 1 1/2” for the spine.

Next I covered the chipboard.  To wrap the chipboard, I used the Mushroom Meadow paper, cut to 10" x 11 1/4". I used a book cover guide tool, it's helpful if you have one.

I placed the first chipboard piece (8 1/4" x 4") about 3/4" from the left and top edges of the patterned paper.  I left a 1/8" gap, then adhere the spine piece (8 1/4" x 1 1/2").  After another 1/8" gap I adhered the second cover piece (8 1/4" x 4").

Lastly I mitered all four corners, applied double-sided adhesive and folded the edges inward to wrap the chipboard neatly.

I covered the inside of the chipboard with some Rainbow's End paper, cut to 8 1/8" x 9 1/2".

For my album pages, I Used black cardstock. I cut 2 pages at 8" x 8 1/8" and scored each on the 8” side at 3 3/4” and 4 1/4” to create a 1/2” center spine

For my interactive flips: For one of the pages, I added flips that open to the left and right.  I cut 2 pieces of black cardstock to 3 1/2" x 8 1/8".  I scored each on the 3 1/2” side at 1/2”.  Next I adhered these to the left and right edges of the page.  I used magnets to help keep the flips closed.

To add functional pockets I cut 2 pieces of cardstock to 3 1/2" x 5", and scored at 1/2" on three sides (bottom and both sides).  I then folded and adhered them to the bottom inside of the front and back covers.  These pockets are perfect for holding tags, journaling cards, or extra embellishments.

To mat the pages, I used papers from the 12" x 12" and 6" x 8" Butterfly Kisses paper pads.  I cut mats to approximately 3 1/2” x 7 7/8” to fit the black base pages.

Here's how I decorated my cover:  For a beautiful layered effect, I cut black cardstock to 3” x 7 1/2”.  Then I cut pink cardstock to 2 3/4” x 7 1/4”.  I centered the pink piece on the black and adhered it to the cover, leaving a nice border.

I then finished it off with  Doodle-Pops from the Butterfly Kisses and Rainbow Garden packs, and  Enamel dots for texture.. Lastly I added an acrylic title that reads Reset, Refresh, Rewild! from my Inner Creativity Shop.

For finishing touches I added journaling cards to the flip pages for meaningful notes or reflections and Included photo mats in a variety of sizes, such as 2" x 2", 3" x 4", and other custom dimensions to fit my needs.

This album is beautiful and functional—perfect for preserving your memories in style! I can't wait to see your Mini album. Check out my YouTube channel for a quick process Video.

BUTTERFLY KISSES ACRYLIC MINI ALBUM | With Traci

Hello everyone! Traci here and today I'm sharing a super "happy" acrylic mini album that I made with the beautiful Butterfly Kisses Collection. It's titled Happy Memories and it's the mini-er 😂 version of my 6x8 inch Happy Looks Good On You Scrapbook. Both albums are filled with gorgeous colors and fun spring images. So, depending on your needs ... either one makes an amazing keepsake!

I created this with my clear 4.25" x 7.5" Acrylic Horizontal Mini Album but, you could make the covers out of cardstock or chipboard instead. The only embellishment on the cover is the pretty pink butterfly die cut from the Bits & Pieces. Since the album is transparent, I added a matching one on the inside as well.

Since the first card stock page is the one you see through the cover, I layered it with lots of colorful 12x12 patterned papers and die cuts. I started with the floral Garden Party print. Then, I added the horizontal strip of the Color-Fetti polka dots and the vertical strip of the pistachio Rainbow Skies paper.

This fun layout is actually a flip-up page with space inside for 2 more photos! On the front, I added the pretty pink Butterfly Kisses print and 2 square photo mats made from white card stock and the Color-Fetti print. Then, I adhered the flowers and heart die cuts from the Odds & Ends.

This page has a little fold-out element too. I covered the flap in the Garden Gingham paper and added the cute bee from the Odds & Ends. Underneath, there are lots of sweet little cloud faces smiling back at you and a pretty rainbow die cut. I love its scalloped edge so I extended it off the page. On the back of this page ...

... is pure sunshine! I added the Sunny Days polka dot print, a white photo mat, and flower die cuts from the Bits & Pieces. Then, I placed the cheerful sun from the Odds & Ends on the back side of the rainbow.

This Butterfly Kisses Collection is pretty versatile and perfect for spring and summer scrapbooking. With all its cute images and patterns, it could also be used to highlight photos of Mother's Day, friendships, family, birthdays, bridal or baby showers, gardening, and everyday memories.

So, I created a pocket for all the extra pictures, memorabilia, and notes. I chose the Rainbow Garden paper for the background. I love the pop of orange color and the tiny monochromatic butterflies!   

On the front of the pocket, I used the Happy Hoppers print and a scalloped border sticker from the This & That sheet. Inside the pocket, I added three 3x4 cards from the Bitty Blossoms paper. These make great journaling spots and/or photo mats.

This page is super cute! I covered the white card stock in the pretty green Garden Party paper and added 3 adorable circle die cuts from the Chit Chat. Each one has a different little critter on it.

Then for the fold-out section, I made a small pocket with the Happy Hoppers print and tucked a few stamp shaped die cuts inside. They're from the Chit Chat also and their backs can be used for more notes.

I hope you enjoyed my little Happy Memories Album. It was so much fun to make. Crafting with Doodlebug's products always brightens my day! 🌞

If you'd like to recreate this scrapbook, the acrylic album & instructions are available in my shop! Thanks for stopping by & have fun creating something wonderful with the beautiful Butterfly Kisses Collection!

BUTTERFLY KISSES 6x4 MINI ALBUM | with Niella

 Hi crafty friends! Hope you had a blessed Easter with your family and friends! So happy to see you here today to see my latest project; a 6"x4" landscape mini album using the brand new adorable Butterfly Kisses collection.  You'll love creating all year long with this versatile collection; each piece is just as cute as each other! Be sure to read through to the end to see my video showcase which will show all the pages! 

Firstly, say hi to this ultra cute Doodle-pop, Fun Guys! They have the sweetest faces and how cute are the itty bitty Shaker bits that I turned into flowers! 

I love how the This & That title sticker "Love. This. Life" suits the cover so well.

The first page holds one of my favourite papers; Mushroom Meadow.  Paired against the gorgeous green cardstock from the coordinating cardstock pack,  it serves as a great spot for journaling, a mini picture or quote. I love to dot around Sprinkles and mini flowers!

I loved creating this album! Everything was so fun and special to put together.  The Chit Chats are fantastic and I loved to mix and match the Odds & Ends and Bits & Pieces ephemera together.  Every sweet face and character has a special place in this collection.  They're a family! Do you have a fave?

This next page has a fun tuck spot for your hidden journaling and photos! A great idea is to mount a photo on the front of a tag and then on the back write a memory of that photo or have a family member do that.  Letting family write notes and keeping them is something I found extra special to add to my memory keeping.  So often we are left with all the writing and note taking :-) How cute is this embroidery hoop piece and that cloud/rainbow paper Rainbow Skies is super sonic cute!

Have you tried using vellum on your projects before? Vellum is the perfect paper to use when you want to highlight or pop your clusters on top of busy patterned papers! For this page, I stitched it directly on top of the Sunny Days paper.  It's perfect!

Lastly, I loved keeping the stitch threads on it this album, it's add an extra texture to this mini album. 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!   Enjoy the video showcase!

BUTTERFLY KISSES TAG FLIP MINI ALBUM | with Kathy

Butterfly Kisses just makes me happy.  I have fallen in love with the colors, the icons, the spring patterns... just everything!  I couldn't wait to play with it!  I decided to make a fun Tag Flip Mini Album to celebrate spring.  Take a peek...

I started by making my cover.  I cut 3 pieces of chipboard... 2 pieces  4.25" x 6.75" for the covers, and one 1.25"x 6.75" for the spine.  I arranged and glued them to a piece of the Garden Gingham plaid paper leaving about 0.5" around and wrapped to form my cover.  I covered the inside of the book with a piece of the bubblegum colored side of the Butterfly Kisses paper.  

To decorate my cover, I added a rectangle of the Butterfly Kisses paper to the front, and lots of butterflies and flowers from the Bits & Pieces pack.  I used some Beetle Black Alphabet Soup letters and a Chit Chat piece for my title. 

Inside the front cover I added a photo spot, with some Odds & Ends and a Chit Chat speech bubble.  On the right side, I punched a hole about 0.75" down and in the center to hold my book ring/ tags.

The Happy Thoughts Tag paper is one of my favorites!  I cut all six tags from the paper to use as the pages of my book.  I stitched coordinating papers to the back of each tag using my sewing machine.  I also cut a few smaller tags using a die from my stash to mix it up a little.  Then came the fun part... decorating the pages/tags!

For my photo spots, I used some stitched rectangle and square dies from my stash.  I added some tabs to some of the pages using a tab punch.  It was fun decorating all the pages!  I used Chit Chats, Odds & Ends, This & That Stickers, Icon Stickers, Puffy Icon Stickers and the new Puffy Words!  And let's not forget all the fun shaped sprinkles!

I also traced one of the tags onto the Butterfly Kisses Heavyweight Acetate and cut it to make another fun page.  I added rectangle photo spots to each side and some This & That Sticker words.  I lined them up  so that they matched on both sides!

I love how this turned out!  It's all ready for my spring photos!  I created a video short flip through, I always think it's more fun to see things in action!  

That's it for me today, thank you for stopping by to peek!
