Doodlebug DIY Mini Christmas Trees

Did you know that Doodlebug created darling white Trees that you could embellish to match whatever holiday or color decor you desired? Recently Cynthea, Tonya, Tya and Lori attended a local Reclaim Yourself Women's Craft Retreat in beautiful Heber, Utah. Cynthea taught us how to recreate these darling trees and we were thrilled at how different and darling each one turned out.We thought we'd share those pictures with you. Happy Holidays!

Frosty Friends Pop-up Card by Courtney

Hello everyone!!! Courtney Lee from Court's Crafts here for a Frosty Friends thank you card that is sure to wow them!

The Frosty Friends collection may be my favorite doodlebug line so far. It works for SO many different occasions and the colors are deep and gorgeous. 

mmm... chucky glitter. All snowflakes need some. This is chunky sugar coating in blue jean.

I love that little church - so quaint.

Ahh!!! These sprinkles are my favorite. ever. LOVE them!!!! It was SO hard to use them. The sprinkles are so pretty!!!

I used some sugar coating in blue jean for the church's steeple.

I couldn't get a great picture of it but this silver sprinkled covered vellum was just perfect! It has a gorgeous glow behind it and the silver is shiny so it's just really pretty.

Check out these thank you stickers!?! I love them. They make sentiments so easy and fast!

I grabbed the fancy frills for the top of my sentiment location. These little mittens were too irresistible so I just had to get them on there somewhere. I loved them "holding" the sentiment. do you see the glitter on them? Fabulous.

There is lots and lots of sugar coating in lily white on these snowflakes. It's just the right amount of dusting. Not too chunky and perfectly fine and sparkly. 

Just a little side view:

Check out the mini snowman! He is SO cute with his glittered mittens, hat, and scarf. He is located on the icons sheet. :)

Just a view to show you the amount and dimension of the card.

This is what it looks like folded flat. The cut file includes an envelope which is great because it's rather large. 

I hope this inspires you to grab some Frosty Friends and get a start on those Christmas thank you cards! I used one of the journaling this and that stickers to write my thank you note portion and stuck it on the back. I also used one of the this and that stickers to close up the envelope. perfect.
