TINSEL TIME GIFT BOX | with Jen

This time of year we always need a simple gift for a neighbor or friend. Today I have for you a fun gift box using the new Tinsel Time collection!

The finished box measures 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" and is 6" tall. Once you learn how to make this it's very easy to resize for almost any gift!

Around the base I used the swag pieces from the Tinsel Time Bits and Pieces. I matted everything with papers from the 6x6 paper pad.

On the top I used the Merry and Bright Doodle Cuts Die to make the little snow globe into a shaker. Rather than cut out the Santa that comes with the die set I used Mini Icons to build my scene. They're the perfect size for the inside of the snow globe!

Want to make your own gift box? A full tutorial is available on my YouTube channel and is also below.

Have a great day!

TINSEL TIME HOLIDAY CARDS | with Karen

It's time for tinsel! Bring on the glitter and the sparkle - I am ready for it! And clearly, so is Doodlebug because the new Tinsel Time collection is everything you can imagine it would be and more!

For my first project, I decided to create some Christmas cards. This season is one of my favourites as a card maker because I feel like I have an excuse to sit down for an afternoon and just make cards! I don't really need an excuse, but it's nice to have one!

I was particularly drawn towards the shapes in the Bits & Pieces pack so I wanted to feature those on this set of cards. They are wonderful combinations of Christmas themed flowers and evergreens and they are absolutely lovely for layering.

Oh, and can we talk about the Cards & Envelopes set that coordinates with this collection. It is a wonderful collection of shapes and colours that make creating cards a breeze. And this silver textured envelope is the things that dreams are made of. This picture does not so it justice at all!

And given that this collection is all about the tinsel, it seemed fitting to embellish with some of the glitter sprinkles that also coordinate. The subtle green and pink sparkles bring all the colours together.

Well, this may be my first card set of the season but it sure won't be my last. We can't wait to see all the fun Christmas cards that come off of you crafty tables this Christmas season! Thanks for stopping by! Hugs,

TINSEL TIME MERRY CHRISTMAS MEMORIES LAYOUT | with Brianna

Hey friends! Brianna Lepper here and with Thanksgiving being last week, the countdown to Christmas has begun! I used the new Tinsel Time collection to document a couple photos of my scrappy friends and I at a Christmas crop. We had so much fun! Who doesn't love getting creative while being festive at the same time? Here's my layout:

To start, I took out the Tinsel Time 12x12 Coordinating Cardstock pack and went with the Lily White paper. I then took the Tinsel Time 12x12 Pattern Paper and trimmed a few pieces of both sides at an angle. I layered them together at the top and bottom of the page and then adhered them down. I love how it gave my page some of those adorable patterns and then also sandwiched my photos and embellishments.

Next, I matted my photos using the 6x6 Paper Pad, popped them up on foam tape and then adhered it in the center of my page. I pulled a few larger ephemera pieces from the Bits & Pieces pack and adhered the stockings piece right on my photos. I then took the strings of lights pieces and popped those up on foam tape and adhered them at the top right of my layout. They're so fun!

I ended up choosing the 'memories' phrase from the Chit Chat pack since these photos were taken back in 2021. It was the perfect fit for this page. I sure miss seeing these ladies in person!! It's a shame we don't live close to each other...

After my title was down, I got to work on embellishing the rest of my page. I went through the Odds & Ends pack and pulled out a few pieces. The bottom right corner needed a little something so I built a little embellishment cluster down there. I love the Santa and reindeer together.. they're so cute!! I also added in some snowflakes around the page and made sure to pop them up on foam tape for some interest.

For some finishing touches, I sprinkled in a few of the Glitter Sprinkles and a few Puffy Icons. Here's one last look at this festive page:

Thank you so much for stopping by today, I hope that I've inspired you in some way! This collection is amazing and I can't wait to document more holiday photos with it. I'll see you in my next post friends!
