PETITE PRINTS NOTEPADS | with Shellye

Gift-giving doesn't have to stop on December 25th! I wasn't able to craft gifts for co-workers before our break, so I whipped up a few handy notepads with a bit of Petite Prints, Doodle Stamps, etc.  Let's get started on this quick project:

I purchased a package of blue notepads from The Dollar Tree.  The pads can be broken apart into five sections (the pad is divided into 5 parts with chipboard sheets).  Next, I took various colors of patterned paper from the Petite Prints-Buffalo Check and cut them into 3.5"X10.25" strips, and then wrapped them around each individual notepad.  The color palette for this month's inspiration is:

Next I stamped all of the cute snowpeople from the "Winter Wonderland" Doodle Stamps with Copic Markers (C00, C0, C2, N4, N6, N8, B21, B23, B24, V12, V15, V17, RV00, RV02, RV04, B000, B01, B02, YR24, YR27) and then die-cut with the matching Doodle Cuts.

The snowpeople were clustered together on die-cuts using the Nesting Scallops Doodle Cuts.  I also used the Borders & Edges Doodle Cuts for creating the scalloped border at the bottom.  Chunky Doodle Twine was adhered around the inner circle and a smaller piece tied onto the "hello" tag!

To the "skies" of each scene, I added various white Shaped Sprinkles to mimic snowfall.  Aren't they precious? :)  Thanks for joining!

PETITE PRINTS BABY IT'S COLD OUTSIDE LAYOUT | with Tegan

I absolutely love the Doodlebug Petite Prints Patterned Papers! They are the perfect compliment to all of the Doodlebug Collections! Here I mixed in a lot of the coordinating Petite Prints patterned papers with the Winter Wonderland collection and I love how my layout turned out. I also had fun creating my own embellishments using the Petite Prints papers - come take a look!

I created my own embellishments using hexagon and star shaped punches and matching Petite Prints Gingham & Linen and Swiss Dot patterned papers. I layered the stars on top of the hexagon shapes with foam adhesive to give them dimension. I then embellished these shapes with Odds & Ends Ephemera pieces and Epoxy Stickers from the Winter Wonderland collection. I used the Sunshine Alphabet Stickers in Blue Jean to add 'brrr' to the top of the page. 

Since I used a Winter Wonderland label sticker for my title, I added another 'brrrr' phrase to the bottom of the page using the Sunshine Alphabet Stickers in Swimming Pool. I love the accents that the letters add to the page. Did you notice I had also created more hand punched embellishments for the bottom of the page using the Petite Prints papers as well? And isn't this little ephemera fox piece just THE CUTEST?! 

All of the Doodlebug Design Petite Patterned Papers are amazing and I can't decide on which pattern is my favorite! And they coordinate so effortlessly with all of the Doodlebug collections, like the Winter Wonderland collection!

Thanks for joining me today! I hope I have inspired you to grab some of the amazing Doodlebug Design Petite Prints patterned papers and mix them with your favorite Doodlebug collections!

PETITE PRINTS TREAT BOXES | with Karen

I love Christmas. But I also really love the few weeks after Christmas - the time when things seem to slow down a bit, I get to catch my breath and get myself all set up and ready for the year ahead. Without any major holidays coming quickly, I always find this is a great time to clean up my crafty space and stock up on some of my essentials - product like Doodlebug's Petite Prints collections and project bases for cards and treat containers! So today, I thought I would feature this great product and show you one of my tricks to staying on top of projects for the year to come!  

So, the great thing about the Petite Prints collection (besides all the great patterns) is that all of the colours coordinate with the themed Doodlebug collections. So, I find that this product makes great bases for cards and treat containers like pillow boxes that I can then embellish depending on the season. While I am making one of these generic bases, I always cut out a few and just leave them unfinished and ready to fold as the year goes one. And since the Petite Prints are double sided you get two for one!

   

For today's project, I went ahead and just decorated them up with some some of my favourite embellishments - DoodleTwine, Jewels and Mini Paper Clips. But later in the year, I may grab one or two and decorate them up with a Valentine's collection or a birthday- themed collection. The base is ready to go and I just get to have fun decorating!  

 Although I have to say - they are pretty darn cute this way too!

So grab some of your essentials and get yourself all ready for the year ahead - and maybe decorate up a few to give out some treats in January too! heaven knows we could sure use it!  Thanks for stopping by!
