HAPPY HEALING TISSUE BOX COVER | with Tarrah

Aaaacchhhhooo! Do you have a loved one or close friend who is feeling a bit under the weather right now? Why not cheer them up with with a super cute DIY gift of a tissue box? Everyone needs tissues when you are feeling fluey right?

The Happy Healing collection is the perfect collection to make a tissue box cover with, it certainly brightens up a dull box of tissues and is sure to brighten someone's day too.


I started out by measuring my tissue box and then took 2 sheets of matching coloured 12' x 12' cardstock. I followed this tutorial on YouTube to make my tissue box cover, I did have to make a few alterations when I was adhering it all together, this is dependent on the size of your tissue box. I added the back piece of cardstock last, I loved that this gave me an opportunity to add more paper and cute embellishments.


On all sides of the tissue box, I used the Spot of Happiness patterned paper and on the top where the hole is, I added the Cross My Heart paper, using a circle die in the centre to punch out the hole for the tissues to come through. On the back piece, I used a yellow cardstock from the Happy Healing cardstock pack and added a paper from the 6' x 6' paper pad to the cardstock. Once the tissue box cover was constructed and the patterned papers were all added, it was time to embellish!


To add some more interest to the centre where the tissues are pulled out, I removed the centre out of one of the circle dies and placed the ring over the top of the tissues and adhered it down. I also added a scalloped border sticker from the This and That sticker sheet around the edge at the top. You can never go past adding Doodlepops to your projects, I chose the gorgeous teddy bear with balloons and adhered it to a notecard from the Bits and Pieces pack.


Some more of the embellishments I added were more die-cuts from the Odds and Ends pack, more stickers from the This and That sticker sheet and some pretty silver sprinkles too. I really encourage to give this project a go! It really was quite simple to make and it looks great!


Thank you so much for stopping by the Doodlebug blog today! Happy creating!

HAPPY HEALING TAG CARDS | with Niella

Hi crafty crew, it's magic May-hem time with Happy Healing! This project is super easy + versatile - are they tags or are they cards? Well, why not have both. It's so simple, yet so clever right. Who doesn't like a two-in-one! As we hit into the fifth month of 2024 it's time to do some more memory keeping and giving and what a great way to do that with a new Doodlebug Design collection. Come check out my latest project! Tags vs Cards!

To replicate these Tags vs Cards, all you do is grab the sweet 6x6" paper pad and choose (tough choice) three papers and fold each width wise. You'll then have a folded 3x6" card. Next snip the top corners and punch a hole in the middle top part of card. Easy! Now you have a Tag vs Card :-)

Once you've made the bases of each Tag vs Card, go wild decorating! As you know, this is my favorite part of crafting - it's when all the foundation pieces are created and it's all ready to decorate to your hearts content. Here I've used the adorable patterned papers that are named (l-r) On the Mend, Love Blooms and Happy Healing.






To help "pop" the icon stickers and ephemera, I always mount a solid matching cardstock on the top of the base patterned paper. It looks easy on the eye and helps show the pieces. I love that each collection comes with a matching textured cardstock pack! The co-ordination is perfection.


To add more cuteness, I've used two little charmers on two of the Tags vs Cards! Did you spot them? Here, let me show you in my video showcase below :-) And whilst you're watching; see if you can spot how I used a round band-aid like a balloon in the cutest balloon bouquet!


Thank you crafty crew for visiting today! I hope I gave you a crafty hit of inspiration! Don't forget to tag us in on your socials - we're looking forward to seeing your next Doodlebug Design project! Until next time; doodle dee!

HAPPY HEALING GET WELL SOON GIFT HOLDERS | with Tya

Do you know someone who is in the need for a little pick-me-up? These fun loaded pocket Get Well Soon gift holders is just what the doctor ordered! These cuties were super quick and easy to whip up and I had so much fun decorating each of the little gifts that are stuffed into this package of well wishes!

To make the loaded pocket , I followed this tutorial here! I loved that it utilized a whole sheet of 12x12 paper! All you needed to do was do a little scoring and glueing and you were all set to decorate and fill this all up with your goodies! I used the super cute "Thinking of You" paper with its sweet florals and pops of color with the yellow and white polka dots! It made the perfect base for this holder.


I decorated the front of the holder with some cute heart paper from the 6x6 paper pad and added this fun "Hope You're Pilling Better" sticker from the This and That Sticker sheet. I also added the cute scallop silver heart border sticker from this same sticker sheet to the top edge of the front pocket. Love the bling and shine this gives! I also added several of the pills from the "Happy Pills" Shape Sprinkles to the sticker.


Inside the front pockets, I included a quick and easy greeting card that was decorated with a cut apart from the Candy Striper paper. The "Wishing you Well" banner sticker also comes from the This and That sticker sheet. I made a simple little matchbook-style tea bag holder from some Love Blooms paper.


Here is a little peek of the top pocket. I've stuffed it up with 4 different little decorated gifts.


I added some cute pink heart paper to some Tums and decorated it with some Icon Sticker sheet stickers. I also included a hand sanitizer holder that I decorated with some stickers, and Odds and Ends. I tied a fun red and white polka dot ribbon for some color and dimension. Isn't that little germ sooo cute? Doodlebug can even make a germ adorable!


Here are a few close-ups of the little gifts. This mini tag from the 6x6 paper pad was perfect for this little travel-size pain reliever bottle. It's tied on with some Cupcake Bakers Twine


I made a cute holder with a fun bag topper filled with some cough drops. I folded over a Swimming Pool doily and then decorated the doily up with some Odds and Ends, Chit Chat die cuts, and a strip of flowers from the 6x6 paper pad. I also added some "Heart Attack" Shape Sprinkles.



This was a very fun gift to put together! I am going to whip up a few and keep them on hand and then I will have them handy to give to my loved ones when needed! With as quick and easy as they are to do, this will be a great gift to keep on hand. I hope I have inspired you to make your own little loaded pockets like this one too! Thank you for stopping by today! We will see you next time! Happy crafting friends!
