SUMMER FUN - UNDER THE SEA SNOW GLOBE | with Kathy

I've been waiting for the perfect collection to create my DIY Snow Globe, and  Summer Fun was the one!  I knew that all of the cute sea critters swimming around would make the cutest globe!  Take a peek...

I had so many ideas, I decided to add elements outside of the Snow Globe too!  To start my project, I cut some Kraft Candy Stripe/Sprinkles Petite Prints to cover the base of the globe.  I added a few sand mounds and plants that I cut using the Adora-bowl Doodle Cuts.  I then decorated my ocean bottom with the cute little crab and blue fish from the Icon Stickers along with a few Puffy Icon shells.

For the inside of my globe, I cut a couple of layers of the waves paper (b-side of the water babies paper)  I also added some of the Kraft Petite Prints for more sand.  I popped the layers with a few strips of foam tape to give it more dimension. I used the Aloha! Doodle Cuts to cut some larger plants.

The jelly fish, seahorse and all of the fishies are from the Icon Sticker Sheet.  I added some foam dots behind many of them to make them seem like they were floating.  I also used some summer splash and sweet shells shaped sprinkles.

Finally I filled the bottom of my snow globe with some swimming pool and bitty bubbles shakers. Here's one more photo to show you the layers and dimension.

I love it when completed projects look like what you imagined!  That's it for me today, thank you for stopping by to peek!

SUMMER FUN DOODLE CUTS SHAKER EMBELLISHMENTS | with Miguel

One of my favorite products is Doodle Cuts, as they allow you to really use your creativity to create your own embellishments for your projects with different shapes and textures.

Look how beautiful they look using Summer Fun cardstock and foam, cutting in multiple layers with the die to give greater dimension to the piece.

To decorate I used mini icons and puffy icons, I love using this product because the shine and color of these make my project stand out a lot and give it that shine on the cardstock.

In these pieces I used the shaker balls in different colors to create the stones for my fish tanks and look how beautiful this project looks.

I personally like to make these pieces so I can collect them in folders and have them handy whenever I need a nice embellishment! Thanks for reading, see you soon.

BERRY SWEET EMBELLISHMENTS | with Miguel

I love working with Doodlebug's beautiful products! And this time, I let my imagination run wild, die-cutting and embellishing these embellishments with materials from the Berry Sweet collection.

To create these embellishments, I used Doodle Cuts among other dies, and I started by layering cardstock and foam to add dimension. I really like doing this to give the pieces more strength. This mouse is truly beautiful!

To decorate, I'll mention the materials I used, which I mixed together: all the things, shaped

sprinkles, and shakers.

In this piece, I used Berry Patch shakers, which are more than perfect for this cute shaker cup.

The important thing is to mix the various Doodlebug materials to create beautiful pieces.

I hope this idea works for you, and I'm more than ready to see where I can place them to make them look even better than they already do. See you soon!

BUTTERFLY KISSES LOVE YOU LAYOUT | with Brianna

Hey friends! Brianna here today and I'm sharing another layout using the adorable Butterfly Kisses collection. This collection is beautiful and after looking through it, I knew I wanted to create a fun scene design along with a shaker using Hello Sunshine Doodle Cut along with the new Butterfly Kisses Shakers. Here's my page: 

To start, I created my shaker first. I took out the Hello Sunshine Doodle Cut pack and die cut the single cloud to use for my shaker. I also die cut a few of the solid clouds using the other cloud dies as well as a piece of the white cardstock from the Coordinating Cardstock pack. To create my shaker, I first adhered a piece of acetate to the backside of it and then added some narrow foam tape right on top of the acetate. This created a little reservoir for my Shakers to go in. I carefully poured in the cute little butterflies and then sealed the shaker using a piece of vellum. I turned it over and my shaker was done. Easy peasy!

I then went through the 12x12 Patterned Papers and selected the Rainbow Skies paper as my base. To build my little scene, I trimmed out a small trip of Garden Party for my grass and then tore into the Bitty Blossoms paper for the flowers. I also grabbed my fringe scissors and cut into that Garden Party paper so that it resembled grass a bit more. So fun!

I embellished my little scene by pulling in a few Odds & Ends, Puffy Stickers as well as a few flowers from the Bits & Pieces pack. I love how cute it ended up being!

I ended up printing and trimming down my photo into a different shape and adhered it up in the "sky" portion of my layout. I layered my cloud shaker right on top of it and then layered the rest of my die cut clouds around it. I used a couple of phrases from the Puffy Stickers Words set and adhered them right on top of my photo.

I added in a few more smaller bits using more Puffy Stickers as well as the Bitty Bug and Garden Shape Sprinkles stickers. This page is so fun and whimsical. 

Here's one last look:

Thank you so much for stopping by today, I hope that I've inspired you in some way! I'll see you in my next post friends!

BUNNY HOP PAPER CLIP EMBELLISHMENTS | with Conny

Hello, my crafty friends! It’s Conny here, and today I’m excited to share some delightful paper clip embellishments with you! These charming 4-inch paper clips are perfect for adding a touch of whimsy to your projects. I chose clips that match the color palette, beautifully complementing the enchanting Bunny Hop collection.

Let's get started! First, I began with the Shakers - Bunnies & Chicks sprinkles. I also added round sequins in cupcake and bumblebee for extra pops of color. Once my shaker mix was ready, I cut a piece of clear acetate measuring 3 1/4 inches wide by 8 1/2 inches long.

Next, I slid the acetate through the paper clip and folded it in half. Using my sewing machine, I added stitching starting at the top near the paper clip and sewed all around, leaving a small opening to add the sprinkle mix. After I filled it with the sprinkle mix, I returned to the sewing machine to sewed it shut.

To complete my project, I added Doodle-pops, flowers from the Puffy Icons stickers, Mini Icon stickers, and Chit Chats to embellish the top of the shaker clip. The Chit Chat was added on top of double-sided foam adhesive.  They turned out really cute! I can't wait to see your shaker paper clips using the Bunny Hop collection. Xo, Conny

6 X 8 MINI ALBUMS - MORE PAGES - WINTER WONDERLAND MINI ALBUM | with Jen

Hi Everyone!  Happy Valentine's Day!  I'm back today with some new pages I created for my 6x8 Winter Wonderland Mini Album.  If you missed my first posts, you can find my cover post here, and my previous pages here and here.  The last fun elements included in the Doodlebug 6x8 albums are heavy cardstock inserts that match the album color and pocket inserts. The pocket inserts come in a traditional pocket style and a side loading pocket style.

The heavy cardstock inserts are perfect for small layouts. I've added photo mats and Snow Much Fun Chit Chat or This and That Stickers. Because they coordinate with the albums they also coordinate with any Doodlebug paper collection.

I used two of the cardstock inserts to mat the front and back inside cover or my album. By simply trimming off the binder holes on the side they fit perfectly as mats that can then be decorated. I used Chit Chat and Odds and Ends on mine.

For the pocket inserts the journaling cut-aparts fit perfectly on the side loading pockets. I've turned one of them upside down so my pocket is on the opposite side. The back sides of all the pockets are all perfect for a small layout.

For the traditional pocket inserts I've matted these with petite prints and the 12x12 collection. The pockets are big and will hold lots of photo mats.

I have a process video and walkthrough of the completed album here.

6 X 8 Mini Albums - Snow Much Fun Winter Wonderland Album Cover | with Jen

Doodlebug 6x8 Albums are here and they're amazing! The new albums have a beautiful laminated cover, canvas covered spine, and come in 14 delicious Doodlebug Colors. Each album has 5 tabbed chipboard inserts, four heavy cardstock inserts, and 10 page protectors in four configurations.

For my project I decided to use the adorable Snow Much Fun collection with a lilac album. On the front I used my mountain shaker I made as a design team project a few months ago and it fit perfectly. My tutorial for how to make shakers out of Doodlebug SVG Files can be found here.

I matted my cover with one of the plaid side of the Ice Crystals paper.  I cut it to 6 1/4" x 8 1/2" to get the perfect white border around the edges. I added a Chit Chat Piece and a border sticker from the This and That sticker sheet.

My shaker is layered and gives good dimension to the cover. I used the Flurry and Ice Crystals Doodlebug Shakers.

To finish my cover,  I added snowflakes from the Bits and Pieces and Clouds from the Odds and Ends. I added a little Yeti from the Icon stickers peeking out from behind the mountain.

I also have a process video for you that also shows you all the elements that come in the 6x8 albums.
