Easter Bunny Ears Layout by Mendi

Hello there Doodlebugs!  It's Mendi here and today I have a couple projects to share using Doodlebug's newest Easter Parade collection!

The prints in this line are so sweet and I just love how the fun, bright colors pop against the kraft paper.  I chose to mix in a few of the tone-on-tone prints from the coordinating Hello Sunshine collection and I just love how they were made to match each other! To form my title block, I cut down one of the 4x4 squares from the bunny & friends paper and added a pennant shape to the bottom.  I'm giddy when the icon stickers are the same size as the images in the paper--This was the case with the darling little bird sticker which I was able to pop up with foam tape over the same image on the paper.

To create my daddy and daughter bunny pair, I used a cutout from the Bunny & Friends craft kit and paired it with a smaller bunny from the Easter Parade Icon Stickers.  I finished off my little scene with a kite from last year's Mini Kite Craft Kit.

My top right hand corner was feeling a little bit empty to me so I decided to die-cut a small photo corner from some of the patterned paper and top it with one of the darling flower sprinkles. I also felt like my layout could use a border of some kind so using my paper piercer and a ruler, I stitched a small running stitch around the perimeter of my page.

When I was done I still had a handful of unused (or half circles) circles so rather than throw them away I put them to good use on a quick little Easter card.

For my sentiment, I borrowed a Quotes cardstock sticker from the Take Note Collection, pairing it with the darling chick from that same Craft Kit.  To give my card a fun detail, I decided to create a mini bow from my little guy using some thread wrapped around the center of some folded ribbon.

This collection is so much fun for Easter projects and with all of it's classic Doodlebug colors, it matches with so many of their other fun lines!

Hello Sunshine Home Decor with Tya Smith

 Hi there Doodlebug friends - its Tya here to share with you my Hello Sunshine project. Its been kind of cloudy and gloomy here around my neck of the woods so I though I would cheer up my space with a couple of bright and cheery home decor projects featuring this darling line.

First up is this adorable watering can that I found at my local craft store. It's a perfect container for all the different sizes and shapes of flowers that come in the Spring Flowers craft kit.

 I added some glitter sprinkles, some buttons and some flower sprinkle shapes for fun.

 And how cute is Mr. Snail here along the bottom?

My next project is just a simple frame that I used some of the adorable pattern papers for the background and banners and the sun and cloud stickers with the happy, smiling faces -they add just the right touch! One of my favorite pieces of this line is the rainbow washi tape - I added a strip along the middle of the page with a scallop border punch cardstock strip as well.

 

 I adore the 4x6 cards that come with this collection. They were perfect for the sentiment that I wanted to frame - I really do love Spring! I added a flower and wheelbarrow sticker to the card as well as some fun sticker letters and a sticker heart. Glitter sprinkle finish the frame off with just the right amount of sparkle :)

Hopefully I have inspired you to use your paper crafting supplies to decorate your home and add a splash of Doodlebug color and happiness to your home! Happy Crafting everyone and thanks for stopping by!

"Hello Sunshine" Card Trio By Wendy Sue

Hello Doodlebug friends!  It's me, Wendy Sue, here on a beautiful Wednesday morning to bring a little bit of sunshine into your life!!

I am just LOVING the "Hello Sunshine" collection!  The bright, happy colors against the neutral kraft background were just begging to be made into a set of happy, springtime cards.  I had to oblige!

My first card features the sunshine sticker and the cute little "hello sunshine" text block.  I couldn't resist adding a white doily and some doodle twine to soften everything up!

Of course, I had to add some foam adhesive behind the sunshine and text block for a bit of dimension too...it's been one of my very favorite techniques for years now!

And who can resist a beautiful, bright rainbow with a soft fluffy cloud at the bottom?  Certainly not me.

Can you see how many clouds are layered here?  I'll give you a hint...it's more than three and less than five. ;)  I LOVE layers!

This sweet little phrase sticker just had to be put on one of my cards.  I used the sprinkles shapes "spring flowers" around it...and I love, love, love it!

I bet you know someone who makes your world more colorful and happy and fun - you should make this card for them!!

Hope you all have a very happy, sunshiny day!
