SNOW MUCH FUN 5x3 TAGS | with Niella

Happy New Year crafty crew! I hope you've had a great start to 2026, I can't believe how fast we've entered in a new year and it's time to get some crafty time in! Yay! If you're after some new inspiration, you've come to the right place as we explore Snow So Fun again.  I adore the colors in this collection, everything is so adorable with the sweetest snowmen, petite penguins and all the wondrous Winter characters you could imagine!  Today, I have some 5x3" tags topped with Doodle-Twine! I have a video showcase at the end for you as well, double yay!


Look how cute all the tags look together.  After each tag is completed, I match it up with Doodle-Twine.  I love finishing my tags this way with an extra long length and twirling it around and then lightly adhering to the tag itself.  Double-sided tape on the back will allow adhesion to a gift, scrapbook page or mini album.


Double-sided foam squares is my fave way to build dimension on each tag, I like each tag to match and with every Doodlebug collection you can guarantee everything goes together so easily! Perhaps you have a fave way to add dimension. 



My tags are all created using the patterned papers, This & That sticker sheet and Icon stickers from the Snow So Fun collection! I love using them as a way to build scenes.  The characters on the Icon sheets are the perfect size to use.  How cute are the snowmen and sweet faces! Once I finish creating them, I dot around some Shape Sprinkles and Mini Jewels to finish them off.



Don't you just adore all the hues and shades of Winter cuteness in this collection.  I love the pops of bold blues and purples!  A dash here and a sprinkling there of darling clusters are visually pleasing!


Thank you again for visiting crafty crew! I hope you've found inspiration today! Please remember to tag us in your Socials when you create with Doodlebug so we can all admire your creativity! We love seeing your creations. Wishing you and your family a very Happy Holidays! Until next time; doodle doo!

FARMHOUSE LAYERED GIFT TAGS | with Niella

Hi crafty friends, I'm so happy to see you pop into today! How time flies when you're having crafty fun! Thanks for popping by to visit us on the blog for more inspiration, more crafting and more ideas! And with that, I'd like to show you my next cutie-ful project with the super adorable Farmhouse collection! Large layered gift tags! How cute would these be to gift for Thanksgiving or any occasion. Be sure to stay tuned for my video showcase.  Yay!


These tags are made from the 12x12 patterned paper Buffalo Plaid and it's tag-tastic as the tags are ready to be cut and layered onto cardstock for sturdiness.  In fact, these tags would be great just popped onto a card or scrapbook page or bound together to create a mini album! Sweet!


For texture, I've mounted some cardstock from the Cardstock Pack on these three tags.  For extra dimension, I machine stitched them.  I loved decorating these.  The icon stickers and sprinkles look so cute and darling together.  The best way I find for my layering of tags is too start with the tag.  Then I layer that tag onto matching card/patterned paper and then repeat the process. 


The matching 6x6 paper pad had the smaller scale tag, and I love them.  They need decorating too! How cute are the mini icon stickers and doodle twine on them! The large tags measure 6x3.75 when finished and the mini tags measure 3.25 x 2.25 when finished.  


Don't be afraid to use a lot of foam adhesive squares and pop dots to lift your accents.  See how I've layered the chick on the milk tin.  It gives dimension and visual point of views.


I love how you can leave the tags plain with the graph background or layer on a matching cardstock square on top - either way they look extra adorable with the doodle twine, sprinkles, icon stickers and machine stitching! Perfect to create and have ready on hand for those gifting additions.


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!

FARMHOUSE TAG TREAT HOLDERS | with Kathy

My project today combines some of my all time favorite things.... Fall, apple picking, baking and Doodlebug!  Farmhouse, in my opinion is the perfect autumn collection!  And my favorite paper in the collection is the tag side of the buffalo plaid cardstock.  My first thought was to make some fun fall tags, but after baking some apple cider donut mini muffins for friends, I decided to turn the tags into treat holders.  Take a peek...



Transforming the tags to treat holders was easy!  They are made up of 3 main pieces... my decorated tag, another tag cut from the same paper and a third piece cut to be the same width of my tag (slightly less than 3 3/4") by 2 1/2".  I then scored this piece along the long side 1/4" in on each side.  This piece connects the bottoms of the two tags. I attached everything using some scor-tape.


I packaged up my mini muffins in a plastic treat bag, and inserted into my holder, keeping it in place with a couple of glue dots.  I folded up the sides and tied them together with a fun buffalo check ribbon from my stash.  Here are some close-ups of each of the tag treat holders.


On each decorated tag, I first stitched a 3x4 piece of paper (cut from the 6x6 pad) to the front of the tag.  I added a sticker border strip along the bottom (from the This & That Sticker Sheet), and then added a mini doily.  Each was decorated with a combination of Odds & Ends, Chit Chats, Icon Stickers and shaped sprinkles from the Farmhouse Collection.  I used foam tape/dots to give them lots of dimension.






I just love that sweet little kitty and those bees!!! My friends loved them (and the donut muffins!) Have you made any projects using the Farmhouse collection?  Be sure to tag @doodlebugdesign on socials, we love to see your creations.  That's it for me today, thank you for stopping by to peek!

FARMHOUSE TAGS | with Conny

Hi crafty friends! It’s Conny here from The Daily Life of Creativity, and today I’m sharing a set of fun and festive tags I created with the adorable Farmhouse Collection. Tags are one of my favorite projects; they’re quick to make, great for practicing layering, and perfect to tuck onto a gift, basket, or even use as a little piece of décor!

I started by cutting four base tags measuring 6” x 3 1/2” from patterned papers in the Farmhouse Collection: Hen and Chicks, Farmhouse, Autumn Orchard, and Fall Bouquet. For the top layers, I trimmed coordinating textured cardstock pieces to 3” x 5 1/4” and adhered them to the center of each tag. This adds a nice contrast and gives the embellishments a place to shine.


Each tag features a different Chit Chat phrase banner at the top: Happy Birthday, My Sweet Potato, Happy Thanksgiving, and You’re Unbe-leaf-able. I love how these little sentiments instantly set the theme! From there, I had fun layering Odds & Ends ephemera, Puffy Icons, Cardstock Stickers, and a sprinkle of dimension with the Farmhouse “Love This” Shape Sprinkles.


To finish them, I tied chunky black tulle bows through the top of each tag. The bows add the perfect bit of texture and a bold statement against the bright, cheerful colors.

I hope these tags inspire you to grab your Farmhouse Collection and whip up some quick and happy fall projects of your own. They would be adorable tied onto homemade treats, hostess gifts, or even strung together as a mini fall banner.

Thank you so much for stopping by! I love sharing with you all my creative ways of making projects. Xo Conny!

BERRY SWEET CARDS AND TAGS | with Tya

I had a great time crafting a set of handmade cards and tags using the Berry Sweet collection. With its bright colors, happy strawberries, and cheerful critters, this collection practically crafts itself. Let’s take a closer look at each piece and what I used to create it.

Card 1: Home Sweet Home:

This charming card features the cutest pink house die cut from the All the Things pack. I layered it over a red doily and a patterned circle from the 6x8 Paper Pad. A “Home Sweet Home” sentiment banner and a playful mouse from the Icon Stickers bring extra charm. I finished it off with a bow made from Doodle Twine and a few enamel dots for added texture.

Card 2: So Happy Together

I used layered rectangles of some of my favorite papers from the 6x8 Paper Pad to frame the adorable strawberry couple (from the All the Things ephemera). The “So Happy Together” card is actually a 3x4 cut-apart piece, and a little bird and daisy sticker from the Icon Stickers add sweet final touches.

Card 3: Love You Cupcake Tags

This card is actually two tags mounted onto a card base—each one featuring a cupcake topped with a strawberry and florals from the All the Things die cuts. I added a scalloped border sticker, from the This and That stickers, yellow Doodle Twine, and those irresistible mice from the Puffy Stickers. The “love you” sentiment is layered over a green polka dot paper and pink strawberry paper for extra sweetness.

Card 4: Just for You Berry Truck

The blue gingham berry truck from All the Things steals the show here! I used floral and red dot papers from the 6x8 Paper Pad, and the red polka dot strip grounds the design. A cute mouse reaches for a strawberry in the back of the truck, and a “Just for You” banner finishes it off. A bit of yellow Doodle Twine wraps it all up!

Card 5: Berry Best Friends Grid Card

I created a 4-square grid on a red polka dot background to showcase four different berry-themed scenes from the All the Things and Icon Stickers. There’s a berry basket, a teacup filled with fruit, and the sweetest little mouse. A “Berry Best Friends” banner and hearts from the All the Things complete this playful card. 

I also made 4 tags with some large white tags from my stash. I love making tags because I love playing with all the layers and all of the embellishments with the Berry Sweet collection. 



Here are some brief descriptions of each of  the tags:


Tag 1: Hello Berry Basket Prize Ribbon:

This tag features a crepe paper rosette base layered over a pink tag from the Tag Paper. I used crepe paper for added dimension, a green polka dot paper tail, and a “hello” sentiment from the All the Things. The smiling berry basket from the This and That stickers sits center stage.

Tag 2: Life is Sweet Basket Tag

A mint Berry Basket Doodle pop layered over bold strawberry patterned paper sets the tone here. I used a pink crepe paper ruffle along the bottom, layered hearts, and a “Life is Sweet” sentiment sticker. This tag screams summer!

Tag 3: The Good Life Lemonade Tag

Pink plaid and bright florals make this tag the perfect background for the adorable lemonade pitcher and glass from the All the Things.  I layered up one of the This and That stickers with the die cuts that matched for some added dimension. I added a “The Good Life” sentiment strip and a few hearts and strawberries for that fruity pop.

Tag 4: Sweet Memories Mouse Tag

This tag features a layered floral tag for the base with the cutest mouse holding a strawberry. I also added a front-facing bicycle die cut for some depth. The “Sweet Memories” oval sentiment finishes it off, with some enamel dots for a little shine.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope these Berry Sweet cards and tags brightened your day and gave you a little inspiration to dive into this adorable collection. Whether you’re making tags, cards, or anything in between, this collection is full of juicy, joy-filled possibilities.

Go grab some strawberries (and maybe a few stickers) and get crafty! See you next time!

BUNNY HOP CARDS & TAGS | with Tya

Spring has officially sprung in my craft room, and I couldn't be more excited to share the sweet bunch of cards and tags I created using the Bunny Hop collection! This collection is absolutely overflowing with charm- from the pastel color palette and playful patterns to the darling bunnies and chickies - everything feels like a burst of sunshine. Designing with Bunny Hop was pure joy, and I found myself smiling the entire time as each piece came together. 

 

Let me show you all the delightful little details that went into each card and tag!

As you can see on my first card, the pattern papers here are absolutely adorable and so bright and fun! My first card features lots of layers of pattern paper and various embellishments from the collection such as the Icon Stickers, the Bits and Pieces die cuts, and stickers from the This and That sticker sheet. I added some bling with the Easter Mini Jewels. I love adding all sorts of ribbon and twine to my projects as well- so I added some pretty pink twine to the top of the die-cut clipboard shape.


All of my tag bases for the project come from the 4 tags found in the Bits and Pieces die cuts. My first tag was decorated with lots of stickers from the Icon Sticker sheet. This size of sticker was perfect for my tags. The word strip is a sticker from the This and That sticker sheet.


Pretty polka dots are featured on this fun card! I also added some beautiful florals from the Bits and Pieces take center stage here and a fun little bunny and her egg make for a fun and festive card.


My second tag features one of the cute boy bunnies in the collection. How cute are his little overalls? This fun sticker would be so cute on a bag of treats!


I love square-shaped cards, and when I saw this adorable "Some Bunny Loves You" sticker from the This and That stickers sheet- I knew I had to make it front and center on my square-shaped cards. The adorable bunnies on the background paper from the Everything Easter paper make for the perfect background on this bunny-themed card. Hearts and flowers are also seen decorating the perimeter of the cute sticker sentiment.


This adorable tag is a cutie! The stripe looks great next to the cute daffodil floral die cut with a jeweled center. The Egg Hunt arrow is a sticker from the This and That sticker sheet.  This tag would be so cute on a page showcasing your Easter festivities! 


I love making little scenes with my embellishments as you can see here! the floral bunches from the Bits and Pieces are perfect for layering up other stickers on top of.  The sunshine sticker from the Icon Sticker sheet is perfectly framed with one of the circle labels from the Bits and Pieces. The label and Happy Easter sticker title work great along the cute grass pattern paper found on the Spring Sprouts paper.

This last tag is my favorite! Maybe because I am team Peeps! I love those little marshmallow goodies and these stickers reminded me of a favorite Easter treat. These cute stickers from the Icon Sticker sheet fit perfectly on this flower tag.  I added some tiny flowers and mini gems to decorate this tag further. It's so cute! 


My last card features one of the sticker labels from the This and That sticker sheet. They work great on cards and I just fell in love with this fun bunny in his truck delivering some Easter Eggs! The adorable Chick tag from Bits and Pieces adds some charm and whimsy to the card. 


Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you enjoyed taking a closer look at my Bunny Hop cards and tags- and that you're feeling inspired to create something sweet and springy of your own. This collection is just too cute to resist, and I know you'll have just as much fun playing with it as I did. Happy Easter and Happy Crafting my friends!
