DOODLEBUG SHAKERS FLORAL SNOW GLOBE | with Karen

Sometimes a product comes along that you didn't know you needed in your crafty life until it is in your hands. You stare it down, put it to work and then quickly realize...there is no going back. That, my crafty friends, happens to be the exact experience I had with Doodlebug's new Shakers. These amazing little spheres have me going gaga! I had no idea I was going to love them as much as I do.

    

You see, I love to make paper flowers. And I am always looking for ways to add definition and texture to the flowers. Take this set of flowers that I created with Doodlebug's Thanks a Bunch and Hello Fall Doodle Cuts and some textured cardstock. I wanted to create a little floral scene inside the adorable new DIY Kit - Snow Globe. So I whipped up a few flowers to team up with the Shakers inside the snow globe. But as I was sitting at the crafty table, I realized that not only will the shakers be adorable inside the snow globe, but they could make the most amazing centres for my flowers.

   

So I got out some liquid adhesive and my tweezers and voila! In fact, not only did they work, but they were the perfect size! I played around with different placements and had a blast adding that little bit of extra to each flower.

   

Now, before I go on, I do have to say that this is not for the faint of heart. It is a bit tedious, but if you love fiddly work (think - diamond painting tedious), you are going to love this! For the two sunflower florals, I added a layer of Glossy Accents on the top too...I actually really loved it without but I wanted to make sure they stayed in place in case this décor piece gets moved around or bumped here and there.

   

I love the way this piece turned out - and it wouldn't be nearly as amazing without those Shakers! It's like the sprinkles on top of a cupcake - delightful without, but something extra "yummy" with them on. I have a feeling that Shakers are going to become a new obsession for me! Doodlebug, why do you have to do this to me??!!! Thanks for stopping by! Hugs,

PETITE PRINTS FLOWER CARDS | with Lisa

I love Doodlebug's rainbow colors and the new Petite Prints are just so versatile and easy to use. Today I decided to create some flowers using the new Candy Stripe-Sprinkles and Plaid-Polka Dot Petite Prints along with the Thanks A Bunch Doodle Cut Dies.

The Doodle Cut dies have a number of different sized and shaped flowers, some leaves, a bird and a sentiment. I cut (almost) everything from 9 different colors of the new Candy Stripe-Sprinkles and Plaid-Polka Dot Petite Prints. I assembled the flowers, layering them the way I liked.

I added  a cute face and a tiny flower to the birds. I cut the sentiment from the Sprinkle Petite Print in Beetle Black. To make all the flowers even cuter, I added jewels and mini jewels from my Doodlebug stash.

Next, I created the card bases from some Bubblegum and Coral Petite Prints. I cut 6x8 inch rectangles and folded them to make 3x8 inch cards. I used the Lily White Sprinkle Petite Prints as a background for my flowers. I adhered them to the base using foam tape.

I arranged the flowers, and the other elements, on top and adhered them, when I felt happy with the result. I love these cute cards and you can use them for whatever you want if you just change the sentiment :)

Thank you so much for stopping by and see you soon. Have fun creating!!! :)

PETITE PRINTS FLOWER BOUQUETS | with Niella

Hey crafty crew! Thanks a bunch (excuse the pun) for popping by, it's Niella here with such a fun and pretty project showcase using the versatile and sweet Plaid-Polka dot rainbow petite print papers and the ever-versatile doodle-cuts! To begin, I die cut a whole bunch of different sized flowers using the Thanks a Bunch set and also the Spring Garden Doodle Cut sets. These are my fave-to-date die sets to create with ;-)  And the different patterns and colors of the new Petite Prints were perfect for this project!

And now to show you what I've created! Darling paper flower bouquets; super layered and extra special!

The measurement for the pink bouquet is: 8.25" x 5" wide and the kraft bouquet is: 6.5" x 4" at widest point. Adorable right! These can be displayed on your craftroom shelf or office pinboard! How about gifting these!

Start off but making the bottom piece which will hold the flowers. I've simply angled a square piece of each chosen paper and folded the sides in and then folded a smaller corner outwards.

Then with the flowers, I've pinched together each petal to add dimension and then layered each off set upon each other with a foam pop dot. Then I've added a Sprinkle enamel dot as the flower centre.

The bouquet still needed some extra detail, so using the leaf die from the Hello Fall Doodle Cuts set; I die cut a whole bunch and tucked the finished leaves in between the flowers.

Finish off each bouquet with some Doodle Twine (my other fave product of the moment)

And how about those tweety birds! Adding in the love birds only seemed natural! How cute are they perched amongst the flowers! SWOON!

These turned out so SO stinkin' cute and I hope these inspire you! Can't wait to see what y'all create, please don't forget to share your creations on all your socials by tagging us in so we can see what you've been up too :-) Until next time; doodle dee!
