SWEET BABY CARDS | with Karen

My daughters are almost preteens now (I know, the TEEN years are coming....ahhhhh), so when Doodlebug released Bundle of Joy and Special Delivery I wasn't sure how many projects I would use them for! But I have to tell you that I have been totally enamored with these collections since they arrived. My card box is filled with adorable cards to give away to families expecting their bundles of joy...and really, I have at least 4 other projects planned.

   

Because really, how cute are these babies?!!

 

I love the simplicity of being able to colour up an image, like this one from Special Delivery, and use the coordinating Doodle Cuts for a fast process! With all of the cute details in the paper and the help of some Shape Sprinkles, it can be as easy as that!

   

Or, if you want to spend a bit of extra quality time with these babies, there are so many cute shapes that you can use to create a little scene. I simply added a couple of hearts to the baby carriage for some background fun...

   

...or even do some masking and have some fun layered stamp image like I did with this cute little gal and some of the fun florals and extras in the Bundle of Joy stamp set. Every card will be different, but sure to bring a smile to your face!

   

So whether you have tiny people in your life or not, these two collections are keepers! They definitely put the cute and fun into crafting projects!

Thanks for stopping by!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LAYOUT | with Maryám

Sunshine and Sprinkles! Does it sound like fun already?! Well, that's because for today's project we are going to be using the new Sunshine Alphabet Stickers and also the awesome Confetti Shape Sprinkles, both available and all of our favorite Doodlebug colors.

To create my layout, I started by cutting some strips from the 12 x 12 Party Plaid Girl Paper. Then, I selected my favorite ones, arranged them in a way they look nice to the eye, and adhere them to the page starting from bottom to top. 

Next, to embellish my page, I decided to incorporate some Confetti Shape Sprinkles and add them on to some of the elements of the stripes to add some extra detail and texture. For example, in the strip with cupcakes, I added little circle-shaped confetti sprinkles as toppings.

To add some more fun, I added some cute Odd & Ends Pieces around the page, as well as some cardstock stickers from the same Hey Cupcake collection.

Last, but not least, for my title, I used the gorgeous Sunshine Alphabet Stickers in- Swimming Pool, Limeade, Bumblebee, Tangerine, Bubblegum, and Cupcake to spell out the word "birthday" and also Happy Birthday - Doodle Cuts for the word "Happy".

Now, let's take a look at the finished layout!

That is it for today. I hope you guys enjoyed this post and liked the ideas I shared. If you have any questions just leave a comment below or send me an email. I'll be happy to help you.

Have a great day!

BUNDLE OF JOY CARDS | with Tya

Hi there! I'm back today with my next set of handmade cards. I decided to again challenge myself to create 10 cards using Card Maps sketches to create them. I gotta say, designing these cards was so quick and easy because all of the guesswork was done for me in the sketch! This time I used the adorable "Bundle of Joy" collection and had so much fun creating these! 

Here are the card sketches these are based on. You can find these on the PageMaps website - here is the link to the pdf: January 2019 CardMaps

So there are (2) 4 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch square cards, the other eight cards are all A2 size - which is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches. They all have a white cardstock card base.  I used mainly the 6x6 paper pad for my pattern paper, with the exception of the green plaid. I also used the super fun journaling cards paper - it is called "Showered with Love. I also used some Doodlepops, Chit Chat, and Odds, and Ends Die-Cuts and lots of different embellishments to decorate the cards. Here are close-ups of each of the cards:

These were so much fun to put together and now I have a great stash of cards that I can pull out any time I need a baby girl card for a shower gift or a congratulations card. I like making batches of cards like I did with this collection to just keep on hand! I hope I have inspired you to create some cute baby girl themed cards with this super sweet collection as well! Thanks for stopping by today! Happy Crafting Friends!
