BUTTERFLY KISSES GIFT CARD BAGS | with Kathy

Sometimes I think that spring time is even busier than the holiday season!  With Mother's Day, lots of family birthdays, graduations, end of year activities, it seems like I always need a little gift, and gift cards can be a life saver!  Whenever I give a gift card, I like to package it up in something pretty... so to prepare for this season I created a few gift card bags using the Butterfly Kisses Collection.  Take a peek...

To create the bag shape, I used a goodie bag die from my collection.  I cut them from a few different 12 x 12 papers from the collection.  I then set out to decorate them all using flowers and butterflies from the bits & pieces pack.

For the first bag, I used the bubblegum colored side of the Butterfly Kisses paper for the bag.  In addition to the bits & pieces I also used a butterfly from the bitty bugs shaped sprinkles.  I created a tag using the all occasion large tags doodle cuts and added a puffy word sticker for my sentiment.  I tied it on with some limeade doodle twine.

The base of my second bag was made using the garden gingham as my base.  I added bits & pieces and some flowers from the flower garden shaped sprinkles.  It's tied together with some bubblegum doodle twine.

My last bag was made using the coral side of the mushroom meadows paper.  It's decorated with Bits & pieces and a cute little butterfly from the butterfly kisses shaped sprinkles.  I topped it off with some coral doodle twine.

I love that these bags are a good size to hold a gift card, and a few sweet treats.  They would also make good favor bags for a party!  That's it for me today, thank you for stopping by to peek!

BUNNY HOP NEEDLE HOLDERS | with Karen

What I love about crafting is that it can sometimes solve problems in unexpected ways. My problem - I am always losing my hand sewing needles. The real problem is that I share them with 30 lovely young people who don't always keep track of them when they are done using them! So I decided to see if I could come up with little solution using the most wonderful Doodlebug collection - Bunny Hop.

Now you might say - what do sewing needles have to do with bunnies? Nothing...until now! And isn't that what is wonderful about beautiful paper like the ones in this collection? You can use so many of the patterns for any project you like! I used the adorable Spot of Spring and May Flowers for the base of these little needle booklets, and Springtime Stripe for embellishment.

On the inside, I just stapled in a little piece of fabric and then covered the staple with a sticker from the 12x12 Bunny Hop Sticker Sheet to attach the needles. Each little booklet was then embellished with some florals from the Bits & Pieces pack.

Finally, I added some Doodle Twine in Bumblebee and Limeade to keep them closed. I used a few mini jewels to finish it all off.

Sometimes, just giving something a place can help solve a problem - making that place adorable and colourful just makes it that much better! What do you think - will these help? Thanks for stopping by! Hugs,

BUNNY HOP SPRING PILLOW BOXES | with Karen

The snow is STILL falling up here in parts of Canada so I am looking for signs of spring! It's a good thing that Doodlebug's Bunny Hop collection is on my crafty table right now so I can look there instead of out my window!

I love collections that can be used in a variety of different ways and even though Bunny Hop is an Easter collection, it really is so much more. I decided to create some spring flower inspired pillow boxes for some of the staff at work. Each pillow box was cut out with some of the coordinating Petite Prints you can find in this collection. The fun part is that you can create two different pillow boxes for each sheet of paper since they are double sided - like I did here!

I then dove into the patterned paper. These staples - stripes, florals and checks - can be found in all Doodlebug collections and they are great to work with because they are not themed to the collection - just to the colours! I used a variety here for the band on the pillow boxes.

And then finally, I grabbed the only spring blooms available to me right now - these beauties that are in the Bits & Pieces pack. I fussy cut some to fit better on my pillow boxes and then layered some of the flowers on top for a bit more dimension.

While these are going to some wonderful people that I work with, I think these would be darling for a baby shower or even Mother's Day celebrations! Fill them with goodies and you are all set to go!

Whether you are still sifting through the snow like I am or enjoying signs of spring, I hope this little project has brought a more life to your day!

Thanks for stopping by! Hugs,

BUNNY HOP SEWING BASKET | with Miguel

Bringing quilting style to scrapbooking is something I really enjoy doing; it's incredible to see how with a little imagination and creativity this can be possible. Today I made this basket using the cardboard technique, shaping the cardboard to achieve the square form of a sewing basket.

Once my structure was made, I covered it with the beautiful papers from the Bunny Hop collection.  I cut the papers into small strips and textured them with embossing folders to give the appearance of this quilted style.  I then  glued the strips all around my piece. 

I  lined the inside with another design from the same collection and reinforced the entire edge with pink faux leather to simulate the bias binding of the basket. I love the result! 

For the front part, I embellished with the rabbit, chicken, and eggs from the Odds & Ends, also embossing  to coordinate with the basket.

To finish decorating, I added shape sprinkles, one for each eye, on the rabbit and the chicken. I love the result!

To finish my project, I added ribbon with stitching to maintain the style of my design, and buttons. Thanks for stopping by! I hope my work inspires you! See you soon.

LUCKY ME SPRING BOOK MARKS | with Niella

Hey crafty friends, how fast is March going! St. Patrick's Day may be over for 2026 but crafty inspiration thankfully never ends so I'm happy to have you visit today to check out my latest Doodlebug Design project doodle twine bookmarks! It's no secret doodle twine is one of my fave DB products to create with as it adds that extra texture, dimension and darling!  I have a video showcase at the end of this post, so stay tuned!

Each of these darling bookmarks are created on white cardstock bases that measure 6.5" x 2.5".  On top of that, I've layered patterned paper, then coordinating cardstock and then a piece of white textured cardstock for some white space to write on decorate further on.

Foam squares are my absolute go to for lifting and creating 3D layers on my embellishments and projects.  I've used the icon stickers for all the elements on my bookmarks, don't they look super cute all popped out! 

Each bookmark has an eyelet set loop hole and I've threaded through a contracting twine and looped them randomly around and adhered them to the bookmark to stay in place.  How cute do the all look together.  These would be great on scrapbook pages and in mini albums or planners as well.  The white bubble cardstock on front of each serves as a great area for mini photos or journaling.

How many uses can you think of for bookmarks?  These are designed to have the bottom half tucked in your book page and the top part sitting above your closed book.  Easy to mark where you're next page starter is!

I also love the idea of popping each one into either some books to gift, or tucking into a gift hamper with some fresh baking or how about sending a couple in happy mail.  So many ideas and so many uses!

Thank you again for visiting crafty crew! I hope you found some inspiration today! Please remember to tag Doodlebug Design in your Socials when you create with our products so we can all admire your creativity! We love seeing your creations! Until next time; doodle doo!  Enjoy my video showcase!

LUCKY ME ALTERED NOTEBOOK | with Karen

I love making lists. I make them almost everyday. There is something so satisfying about getting all of those tasks crossed off and feeling like you have actually accomplished something!

So I decided to decorate up a plain little journal to capture more of my lists! Given how much I love Doodlebug, it seems like a match made in heaven.

It was actually this cute little Just Charming keychain that inspired the project. I wanted a reason to carry it around, and clipping it to the binding of the notebook seemed like a great option.

But is seemed so lonely on the notebook so I had the embellish it with some beautiful Color Me Happy 12x12 paper and a few die cuts from the All the Things pack. A few Sprinkles and a bit of Doodle Twine in Swimming pool added a little bit of texture to the front.

I also found some of these cute tags on the This & That Sticker sheet. I added them in about every 20 pages just to divide the notebook up a bit and to add a bit more Doodlebug colour!

Finally, I added a little sheet of Mini Icon Stickers into the back of the notebook. Because let's be real - the only thing better than a list is one embellished with Doodlebug stickers. This will be like a gift that just keeps on giving!

I can't wait to get started in the notebook. I can hear the lists calling my name! Thanks for stopping by! Hugs,

LUCKY ME - LUCKY CHARM SAMPLER | with Jen

When a collection as fun as Lucky Me has so many cute icons to choose from how do you incorporate a bunch into one project? Make a sampler!

Samplers are a fun was to make a cute decor piece and make good use of all your embellishments. I started with a Limeade Gingham Linen Petite Print paper. I then layered on nine squares 3 3/4" x 3 3/4" using the Lucky Me Cardstock Assortment. Each block then gets layered again with a 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" square of patterned paper. When doing a sampler you'll want to pop up as many elements and layers as possible with foam tape to really make the elements pop.

The center square is the only one without a patterned paper mat. For this one I just popped up the Lucky Me sticker from the This and That sticker sheet. I added some Lots of Luck shape sprinkles and a lady bug from the All the Things pack. 

The rest of the squares I used a combination of the All the Things pack, Icon stickers and Lots of Luck shape sprinkles and Rainbow Bright shape sprinkles. I also used some of the Lucky Lady Icon Sprinkles.

I added the Lucky Leprechaun Doodle Pop on the center bottom square. 

Now I can add it to one of my Doodlebug clipboards or frame it and I have a fun March decor piece!

LUCKY ME RAINBOW TREAT BOXES | with Kathy

Every year I attend the Crop on the Cape Scrapbook retreat.  I've been going for over 20 years!  It's such a fun event, a chance to catch up with friends and of course get some crafting in!  I always try to bring a little something special for my table-mates and this year I decided to make some fun treat holders using the Lucky Me Collection along with the You are My Sunshine Doodle Cuts. Take a peek...

I started with a Lori Whitlock SVG File for the base. (linked below)  I cut it from some Lily White cardstock and added a handle made from some swimming pool cardstock and attached with some Swimming Pool chunky brads.

Using the You are My Sunshine Doodle Cuts, I cut the rainbows from a mixture of Lucky Me coordinating Petite Prints and some papers from the collection.  The clouds were cut from some lily white polka dot/plaid petite prints.  I popped up the clouds with some foam tape and also used some foam tape to attach the rainbows to the box.  To complete the look I added a Swimming Pool Puffy Shape Heart.

To complete my boxes, I die cut the tag, hello and shamrock from the Bunch of Luck Doodle Cuts.  I punched a hole in both and tied them to the box using some Swimming Pool Doodle Twine.

I filled my little boxes with some rainbow sprinkle nonpareils from a local Cape Cod Candy maker.  They are yummy, and I thought they went well with my rainbow theme.  Now to finish packing for the crop!  That's it for me today, thank you for stopping by to peek.
