BUTTERFLY KISSES SPRING MINI ALBUM | with Inessa

Today I’m sharing the sweetest little spring mini album using the beautiful Butterfly Kisses collection! This collection is absolutely perfect for documenting all those happy spring memories, and I decided to fill mine with favorite photos of my family and, of course, our adorable pup Paisley.
For the base of my project, I used a metal die cut set with decorative oval shapes that measure approximately 4x5 inches. After cutting all of my pages, I simply punched two holes along the sides and bound everything together using two ring binders from my stash. I love how easy and customizable this style of mini album is!

To create the pages, I used the 6x8 paper pad to die cut the ovals. For the front cover, I chose the Butterfly Kisses color-fetti paper from the 12x12 collection pack because I wanted a sturdier cover with extra thickness. I already had some leftover paper from a previous project, which made it the perfect choice! I also doubled up the back page to give the album a nice substantial feel.

For the cover design, I added the adorable cup of cheer doodle pop and layered stickers below and directly onto the cup for extra detail and dimension. To finish it off, I tied on ribbon and a tassel for even more texture and fun. I just love the playful look it adds!

Inside the album, I used one of the metal dies to cut out my photo on the first page and then decorated it with cardstock stickers. As you flip through the album, you’ll see a variety of embellishments including cardstock stickers, icons, mini icons, shape sprinkles, bits & pieces, odds & ends, and a few more doodle pops sprinkled throughout the pages. Towards the end of the album, I also added a couple of puffy word stickers for extra texture and detail. 

I truly love how this little album turned out, and I hope it inspires you to create something special with your own spring memories! This would make such a thoughtful handmade gift for your mom, grandma, or a friend. It would also be perfect for documenting birthdays, Mother’s Day, or any meaningful occasion worth remembering.

Thanks so much for stopping by today, friends. I hope you have a wonderful day and feel inspired to create a fun little treasure of your own! Happy crafting 💕

BUTTERFLY KISSES LOVE YOU LAYOUT | with Tya

There is just something so sweet and happy about the Butterfly Kisses collection from Doodlebug Design! The bright pastel colors, playful butterflies, and darling floral patterns made this layout such a joy to create. I used this adorable collection to document these precious photos of some family friends' kids at a wedding reception, and I just love how perfectly the soft colors and whimsical details highlighted these sweet little best friends.

For the base of my layout, I created a fun patchwork background using a variety of patterned papers from the  6x8 paper pad. I love how the mix of florals, polka dots, butterflies, and stripes adds so much interest and color without overwhelming the design. Layering the white cardstock panel on top helped frame my photos beautifully while still allowing all those gorgeous patterns to peek through around the edges.

One of my favorite details on this page is the “Love You” title cluster at the top of the layout.  The words are from the Chit Chat. I layered the title over a floral heart from the Bits and Pieces and added one of the adorable butterfly pieces and some hearts for extra dimension and movement. The black and white twine adds such a fun, whimsical touch and helps guide your eye around the page.

On the right side of the layout, I created a sweet embellishment cluster filled with flowers, hearts, leaves, and one of the pretty pink butterflies from the collection. All of these are from the Bits and Pieces and the Odds and Ends. I love adding little layers like this around my photos because it gives the page so much texture and helps bring everything together. The tiny Puffy Sticker flowers and sprinkled black ink dots finish the cluster perfectly.

For the left side cluster, I tucked in more florals and die cuts along with the “You’re So Sweet” speech bubble from the This and That Sticker sheet. I also added twine bows to some yellow flower buttons from my stash and layered pieces with foam adhesive to create extra depth and dimension. These little details are some of my favorite ways to make a layout feel interactive and full of life.

The full layout view really shows how beautifully all the colors in the Butterfly Kisses collection work together. The soft yellows, pinks, mint greens, and pops of coral create such a cheerful springtime feel. I love how the playful butterflies and florals help tell the story while keeping the focus on these darling photos and special memories.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope this layout inspires you to pick up the Butterfly Kisses collection and use it to document some of your own sweet memories. This collection is absolutely bursting with happy colors and charming details that make creating such a delight. Happy crafting!

BUTTERFLY KISSES ACETATE MINI | with Conny

Hello crafty friends, it’s Conny here from The Daily Life of Creativity, and today I’m sharing this bright and happy mini album I created using the Butterfly Kisses collection. This project is full of color, butterflies, and interactive pages, and I absolutely love how it all came together, especially that acetate cover that gives you a peek into the album right from the start.

I began by creating the cover using the Butterfly Kisses acetate. I trimmed the acetate to 11 inches by 8 inches, then scored it at 5 inches and 6 inches on the 11-inch side to create a 1-inch spine. Once folded, this gives the album a clean structure while still keeping that transparent look that makes the butterflies really stand out. I love how the acetate adds a little something extra and makes the whole album feel light and fun.

From there, I moved on to building the pages. For what I consider page three, I used the Mushroom Meadow paper cut to 10 and 5/8 by 8 inches, and I scored it at 4 and 3/4 and 5 and 5/8. For page two, I used the Rainbow Garden paper, also cut to 10 and 5/8 by 8 inches, and scored on the long side at 7/8 and 5 and 3/4. For the first page, I used the Butterfly Kisses paper trimmed to 10 by 8 inches, and scored on the long side at 4 and a half and 5 and 3/8. I also added another insert using the Bitty Blossoms paper, cutting it to 9 and a half by 8 inches and scoring at 4 and 4 and a half. Each of these pages creates different flaps and interactive sections that make the album fun to flip through.

To decorate the inside, I brought in the cut-apart sheets and journaling cards from the collection. I used the 3x4 cards and layered them so they could hold smaller 2x2 photos, which I think is perfect for adding multiple little memories throughout the album without overwhelming the pages. I love mixing those elements because they add variety and make each section feel a little different.

To bind everything together, I used a hole punch to create three holes on both the acetate cover and all of the pages. I placed two holes about three-quarters of an inch in from the top and bottom, and then one hole in the middle at the 4-inch mark. Once everything was aligned, I threaded it together using a white elastic string, which keeps the album flexible and easy to flip through.

For the closure, I wrapped the elastic around the album. To finish it off, I added a butterfly bead charm to the elastic, and I also added another charm on the cover. That little detail really brings everything together. The bead has this beautiful iridescent look with hints of peach, pink, yellow, and green, and it matches the collection so perfectly.

One of my favorite things about this little traveler-style acetate album is how much it can actually hold. Even though it’s compact, it fits a surprising number of photos. You can comfortably add up to 31 photos using a mix of sizes like 4x6, 5x7, 3x4, 2x2, 3x3, and even 4x4. The 5x7 photos will take up most of a page, which makes them perfect for those standout moments, while the smaller sizes let you tell more detailed stories throughout the album.

For embellishing, I kept everything within the Butterfly Kisses collection and used a mix of puffy words, puffy icons, and the mini icons to add dimension and detail throughout the pages. One of my favorite interactive elements is the envelope I added on one of the pages. It’s one of those thicker envelopes that opens up and gives you extra space to tuck in photos, journaling, or little keepsakes. Thank you so much for stopping by.

BUTTERFLY KISSES DOUBLE PAGE LAYOUT | with Traci

Hi everyone!  Today I'm sharing a recent double page layout that I made using Butterfly Kisses.  When this collection was introduced, I said what I always say, this might be my favorite Doodlebug collection ever! LOL!  I just love it!  I'm a huge fan of flowers and butterflies, and the colors in this line are beautiful!  Pistachio and Bubblegum?  Yes please!!

I added a little bit of Bunny Hop to this spring inspired page too (the May Flowers sheet) but that gorgeous stripe, called Happy Thoughts, is Butterfly Kisses and so are all of those adorable odds & Ends die cut pieces and that bold border across the top (Rainbows End). 

For the first page, I wanted to use the Odds & Ends to create a pretty scene below my pictures.  I used pop dots to make each of the flower and bird pieces pop off the page.  Aren't they cute??!!

For the companion page, I carried the stripe across the bottom of the page, and added two more photo mats at the top.  The design is simple, but it keeps the focus on the photos and another adorable scene at the bottom of the page. 

How fun is that little door?!  It's on the cut apart card sheet called Garden Gingham.  And the adorable window is in the odds and ends pack.  The little bicycle looks like it's parked right out front, ready for a beautiful ride on a spring day.  Yes little frog, you can come too!

I turned the LOVE card into a little flippie so that I could get two more pictures on my page.  I just love how these two pages turned out!  I hope they inspire you to create something wonderful with Butterfly Kisses today!!  Until next time, happy crafting my friends!

BUTTERFLY KISSES HAPPY MEMORIES LAYOUT | with Inessa

Today I’m sharing a layout using the Butterfly Kisses collection, and I just have to say—I’m completely in love with these patterns and the soft, pretty color palette. It’s one of those collections that instantly makes your photos feel light, happy, and full of charm.

For the background, I wanted to do something different and bring in patterns and texture, so I created it using patterned paper strips. I cut my papers into 2-inch by 12-inch strips and adhered them across the page. I used two pieces of the Garden Party paper along with Rainbow’s End, Butterfly Kisses, and Color-fetti. Mixing those patterns together gave the layout a playful but still cohesive look.

My photos are matted on the pink side of the Butterfly Kisses paper, which really helps them stand out while still keeping everything soft and pretty. I placed them right in the center of the layout to keep the focus on the memories.

For embellishing, I pulled pieces from the Odds & Ends and Chit Chat packs to build my title and clusters. I love how easy it is to mix these elements together to create something that feels full without being overwhelming. To finish it all off, I added the cutest Doodle Pops—Good Day Sunshine and Butterfly Kisses—which bring in that extra pop of dimension and fun.

I absolutely love how this layout turned out. It feels bright, soft, and full of happy details. I hope this inspires you to dig into your supplies, play with patterned paper strips, and create something you love.

Happy crafting 💕

BUTTERFLY KISSES YOU ARE THE SWEETEST LAYOUT | with Brianna

Hey friends! Brianna here today and I'm so happy to kick off this week using the Butterfly Kisses collection. This collection is one of my favorites and I was so stoked to be able to work with it again. I just love all of the florals and butterflies throughout and couldn't wait to show you my page. Let me know what you think!

I wanted to use this trio of photos of my Sunny girl and instead of trimming them all individually,  I opted to keep them together as one photo strip. This sort of set the tone to have a horizontal type design and I went with it! I chose to have white cardstock as my base and then trimmed down the Rainbow's End 12x12 paper. I wanted the striped side as a main layer with the butterfly side as a supporting element that would be matted underneath the stripes.

The bold stripes going down the page really gave this page that bold look and I knew that building the rest of my page right on top of it would look really nice! I centered and adhered my photo strip down and then added some florals from the Bits and Pieces pack to help highlight my photos even more. I also included a few phrase pieces from the Chit Chat pack and added them to the top of my photos.

This is such a playful page and I wanted to make sure I added a few of the cuties from this collection. I selected the adorable frogs from the Hoppy To See You Doodle-Pop stickers and adhered one on each side of my floral cluster. I even added in that teeny little worm from the Bitty Bugs Shape Sprinkles. I love it so much!

I chose two phrases from the Chit Chat pack and put them together for my title.  I adhered it on the white cardstock and then embellished around it using more of the Bitty Bugs as well as the Flower Garden Shape Sprinkles. I wanted them to cascade down the page. I love the tiny elements, they really make this page full of whimsy.

Here's one last look at this sweet and cheerful page. Just like my Sunny girl!
