BUNNY HOP - BUNNY TREAT HOLDERS | with Tya

Hello friends! With Easter right around the corner, I couldn’t resist creating something sweet, simple, and oh-so-cute using the Bunny Hop collection. These darling chocolate bunny treat holders are the perfect little addition to any Easter basket, and they came together so quickly! 

 Did you know that each Doodlebug collection comes with a coordinating Petite Print pack and a matching textured cardstock pack? I love having those options right at my fingertips—it makes mixing and matching effortless and ensures everything ties together beautifully! For these treat holders, I used a mix of those coordinating papers along with some adorable elements from the Bunny Hop collection. The cute bunny chocolates peeking out make the perfect focal point, and I layered on tags, twine, sprinkles, and sweet little embellishments to give each one that extra “Tya touch” of texture and dimension. Each holder has its own personality thanks to the different color combinations, but they all work together so perfectly as a set.

To start, I cut my base piece from some bubblegum textured cardstock to 2” x 8¼”. This will create the main structure of the treat holder and gives it that sturdy feel while still keeping everything nice and lightweight. For the patterned paper, I cut a piece of the Cupcake Candy Stripe/Sprinkles paper from the Petite Prints pack—one measuring 1¾” x 5” for the tall back panel and one measuring 1¾” x 2” for the front pocket piece.

Next, I used my score board and scored along the 8¼” side at 1” and 3 1/8”. These score lines are what form the pocket and give the holder its shape, so be sure to get nice crisp folds for the best results.

Once everything was scored, I folded along the lines to start forming the pocket. You’ll see how quickly it begins to come together into that adorable little holder shape!  I love how these coordinating prints add just the right touch of pattern and color. I adhered the patterned paper pieces onto the base, lining everything up so the pocket section looks clean and polished. This step really brings the whole project to life! 

Next, I used a tag punch at the top of the holder to create that cute tag shape. I also used the punch on the other end of the paper that was folded over. I like how this finishes up the paper and makes it cohesive.

Once the base was ready, I added my chocolate bunny inside the pocket and used adhesive to secure it in place so it stays put. 

 

Then I wrapped some chunky twine around the holder and tied it into a bow. This adds texture and that perfect handmade touch that I just love.

Finally, I decorated the front with some of the sentiment banners from the Chit Chat, Easter Assortment Sprinkles, and the Puffy Icons Stickers from the Bunny Hop collection. These little details are what really make each treat holder unique and extra special! These are such a fun way to dress up a simple chocolate bunny and turn it into a thoughtful handmade gift. They would be adorable tucked into Easter baskets, shared with friends, or even used as place settings for a spring gathering! 

Here are a few close-ups of each of the holders:

 Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope I’ve inspired you to pull out your Bunny Hop collection (and those fabulous coordinating papers!) and whip up a batch of these cute, quick, and easy treat holders. They’re guaranteed to bring a smile and look absolutely perfect in anyone’s Easter basket.

OH WHAT FUN TREAT BOXES | with Tya

Hi friends! Today I’m sharing a project that made my holiday-loving heart so happy. I’m obsessed with Christmas Tree Cakes, so when I found a YouTube tutorial, which I will link below, for these adorable treat boxes, I knew I had to make a few using the Oh What Fun collection. The bright colors, the sweet elves, and all the playful icons were the perfect match for these yummy little gifts. Each box fits one Christmas Tree Cake perfectly—and they turned out absolutely darling! I also loved the idea of coordinating each box with a base color using matching embellishments, doilies, and themed die cuts.

You can find the tutorial that I followed to make the base of the boxes here.

Each of the boxes is constructed the same way. I used a piece of Textured Cardstock and then cut a piece of Spot of Cheer pattern paper for the front panel.  I then added coordinating embellishments that matched the base color of the box to make it look visually appealing and cohesive.

 All of my embellishments were from the Odds and Ends for the elves and trees. I then added Puffy Icons presents, candy, and hearts to the boxes. I found color-coordinating snowflake stickers from the Icon Sticker Sheets and added them with some foam tape to the top of the bag. Each bag features a sentiment strip from the Chit Chat die cuts, which rests below the embellishments. Finally, each bag is topped with a fun bow made from Doodle Twine. 

Let’s take a look at each one! 

Pink Box – “You’re So Sweet” This soft pink box might be my favorite—it’s just so sugary sweet! I layered a Cupcake mini doily behind a polka-dot panel, then added the cutest little elf, pink tree, peppermint accents, and a tiny gift. The sentiment “You’re So Sweet” couldn’t be more perfect, especially paired with the Christmas Tree Cake tucked inside. A pink and white twine bow finished it off for that extra pop of sweetness.

Green Box – “Holly Jolly Christmas” This bright green box is overflowing with holiday cheer! I used a matching Limeade doily and layered on a plaid tree, candy swirl enamel dot, snowflake, and the cutest little elf holding a candy cane. The lemon-lime color combination feels so fresh and fun. “Holly Jolly Christmas” adds the perfect festive touch across the bottom.

Red Box – “Merry Christmas.” The red version might be the most classic of the bunch. I went full-on jolly Christmas vibes with a cute elf girl in a red hat, a bright red polka-dot tree, a matching Ladybug doily, and a wrapped gift. The white enamel dot accents and bold “Merry Christmas” banner make this box a standout. 

Yellow Box – “Sending Love & Cheer” How cheery is this one? The yellow box features the sweetest little scene with the elf riding on a reindeer. I tucked in a yellow-striped house, a gift, and a big snowflake to bring in some winter magic. The sunny yellow Bumblebee doily behind the cluster keeps everything soft and warm. This one truly does send love & cheer!

Swimming  Pool Blue Box – “Holiday Fun” This cool aqua box might be the perfect tone for winter crafting. I layered on the blue tree, peppermint swirl enamel dot, snowflakes, and a matching elf. The Swimming Pool doily peeks out just enough to give the whole box a frosty, whimsical feel. The “Holiday Fun” banner adds just the right playful touch! 

A Peek Inside Each box opens easily from the top, and the Christmas Tree Cake fits inside like it was made for this project. These are such a great size for coworker gifts, classroom treats, Secret Santa surprises, or even stocking stuffers! 

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope these colorful and cheerful treat boxes inspired you to create a few of your own this holiday season. They are so simple to make—and even sweeter to give. Happy crafting, friends!

HEY PUMPKIN PEPPERMINT PATTY WRAPS | with Karen

Halloween treats are not just for kids! Everyone should be able to get in on the yummy part of the season. Sometimes that means you might need to change up the treat a bit. No, I am not talking about the beverage kind - I'm talking about something a little more sophisticated...like a peppermint patty wrapped up in Doodlebug Hey Pumpkin paper, of course!

I love these simple little treat wraps featuring some of the 12x12 papers from the Hey Pumpkin collection. For these, I used the Hey Pumpkin, Moonlight Magic, Boo-tiful Bouquet and Jolly Jack-o-lantern papers.

While they look a little bit like a tag, you can see from the side that they hold a little treat inside! Tied up with some Doodle Twine in Beetle, these little wraps take these mini peppermint patties to a whole new level!

Oh, and then all the fun happens! Grab the die cuts from the Odds & Ends and Chit Chat packs to decorate up the front. Don't be afraid to have the cute characters and shapes come off of the edges slightly to add more interest!

Candy and Doodlebug cuteness for everyone! Does it get any better than that? Thanks for stopping by! Hugs,

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 TURKEY TIME TREAT HOLDERS | with Kathy

It's almost Thanksgiving... you know what that means... Turkey!  What do you call a group of turkeys?  After a search online I came up with a few options... a Flock, a Rafter, a Gang, and in some cases a Gaggle.  Whatever you call them, I created a whole bunch of them using the Farmhouse collection and the Turkey Time Doodle Cuts.  Take a peek...

We have a big crew for Thanksgiving... I made these little turkeys into a treat holders to put on everyone's plate.  These would also make super cute classroom treats, or a little something for your office friends.

Using the Turkey Time Doodle Cuts, I cut the pieces from a combination of Farmhouse Coordinating Textured Cardstock, Farmhouse Patterned papers and some Petite Prints.  The little eyes were done using An Eye for an Eye Shaped Sprinkles.

On the back of each turkey I created a triangular holder... it serves double duty.  First, of course, it holds the candy treat, and it also allows the turkey to stand upright.  It's really simple to put together.  I cut a strip of Textured cardstock measuring 1" x 6".  I then scored it at 3/8", 2 3/8" and 3 5/8".  I added a Lindor Ball using a glue dot, then secured the triangle, and to the back of the turkey using double sided tape.

I put together a quick video tutorial showing how I assembled them.  Once the papers were cut, they went together super quick!

I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!  Thanks for stopping by to peek!

HEY PUMPKIN TREAT HOLDERS | with Tya

Hello there crafty friends! Who's ready for some Halloween treat holders!?! Treat holders are one of my favorite things to make! I knew I needed to make something with a treat included when I saw all the yumminess of the Hey Pumpkin collection!

Each of my little treat holders is made from beetle black textured cardstock and are SO easy to make! You can whip these bases up so quickly that you can make a whole batch of these for trick-or-treaters, co-workers, etc. I used this tutorial here to make the holders

After you get the bases all made, then the fun part comes! The decorating!! I turned to the 6x6 Paper Pad to decorate my bags. The cute pattern papers were just the right scale for these smaller bags, and the sheet of mini tags in the paper pad was the perfect size to decorate the front.

I decorated the tags with some October Sky Shape Sprinkles, Icon Stickers, and some Puffy Icon Stickers.

I slid some of my favorite treats into the pocket and then tied the top with some glitter ribbon and some Doodle Twine.

A few more close-ups of the group!

 

I had the MOST fun whipping up these little cuties and I hope I have inspired you to grab the Faboolous "Hey Pumpkin" collection and make a batch of these for your favorite little monsters! Have a wonderful day and we will see you all next time! Happy Crafting!
