HEY PUMPKIN CANDY BAR WRAPS | with Karen

Treat, treats everywhere! 'Tis the season for all the goodie goodness - in my tummy and on my crafty table! Doodlebug's Hey Pumpkin collection has me crafting and snacking all at the same time with the project I want to share with you today. And I hope you will find it oh so satisfying!

While I love a little Halloween chocolate, I love a big Halloween chocolate even better. Wrap that candy bar in Doodlebug goodies and I am picking treats over tricks any day! These little candy bar wraps were created by cutting some of the 12x12 paper and then scored to wrap around each bar. They are a fun 4x4" size, so they work perfectly with the paper...

...staying snug inside until pushed out of one end.

Each one of the bars was embellished with some die cuts from the Odds & Ends and Bits & Pieces packs. On a couple of them, I also added a little sentiment from the Chit Chat packs! The whole goal with these designs was to create as much depth as possible with layers of die cuts attached with 3D adhesive strips.

On the last one, I wanted to show you that there are so many beautiful florals in this collection so you can even create a little treat that is less about Halloween and more about the fun and bright colours of the season. So everyone in you life - whether they acknowledge Halloween or not - can get in on the tastiness!

And if you are wondering if I picked that candy bars because their colours matched Hey Pumpkin colours, you better believe I did! You don't have to - just make your wrapper a little longer to hide more of the wrapper and have some fun with it! Thanks for stopping by! Hugs,

HEY PUMPKIN SPOOKY LAYOUT | with Brianna

Hey friends! Brianna Lepper here today and I'm so happy to share a second layout using the new Hey Pumpkin collection. You just can't help but fall in love with all of the adorable embellishments! Here's my page:

To start, I went through the patterned papers and trimmed down a few pieces from Moonlight Magic, Boo-tiful Bouquet and Halloween Haul. I distressed the edges and adhered them down to a piece of white cardstock. The patterns and color palette are all so pretty.

I adhered my photo right in the middle of all of the paper layers and built up some embellishment clusters by pulling in some of the This & That Stickers, Icons Stickers, Puffy Icon Stickers and a few Bits & Pieces. My son graciously let me take a few photos of him before he ran off to trick or treat so I of course had to throw in some candy elements.

I chose a phrase from the Chit Chat for my title and adhered it under my photo. The font is so fun and I love the pop of green on top of that magenta!

This little kitty from the Bits & Pieces pack was the perfect addition to the bottom left corner. It helped balance out the whole page.

I ended up choosing that large ephemera piece from the Bits & Pieces pack and it fit so nicely layered on the bottom left corner of my photo. It's like it was made for that spot! I sprinkled in a few Mini Jewels to add some sparkle here and there but that completed my page.

Here's one more look a this "Spooky" layout:

Thank you so much for stopping by today, I hope that I've inspired you in some way. I'll see you in my next post friends!

HEY PUMPKIN SPOOKTACULAR GREETINGS | with Guest Designer Jenn Shurkus

Hey Everyone! Jenn Shurkus here from Creative Chick Co. and a self-proclaimed Doodlebug Addict. I love everything they release and was so excited to be invited to guest design. I have two cards to share with you where I had a lot of fun mixing a bunch of products from the new Hey Pumpkin release!

I started by stamping out the pumpkin balloon image and the car from the Hey Pumpkin Doodle Stamps and coloring them in with Copic markers which are alcohol-based markers (sharing below the specific markers I used). I die-cut it out with the coordinating Doodle Cuts. 

For the first card I ink blended a background onto a piece of Distress White Heavystock with the following Distress Inks: Mustard Seed, Festive Berries, Wilted Violet. I trimmed this background down to 4” x 5.25” and stamped some of the stars, sprinkle stamps in the Hey Pumpkin stamp set with Versafine Onyx Black ink. Next I trimmed a piece of patterned paper from the Hey Pumpkin 6x6 paper pad to 2.5” x 4” and adhered it to the bottom of the ink blended background. I matted this onto some black cardstock sized at 4.25” x 5.5”. 

Next I chose a couple sentiments to use out of the Chit Chat Ephemera Pack. I dusted the edges of the “eek” speech bubble with a little bit of Wilted Violet Distress Ink. I added some Prisma Glitter with a Sakura Quickie Glue Pen to the highlights on the pumpkin balloon, ghost, and scalloped trim on the basket. I also added a bit of sparkle to the Halloween banner, and some of the stamped images on the background.

 I used a Sakura Black Glaze Pen to trace the face on the pumpkin.

I added the pumpkin balloon, speech bubble, and sentiment banner to the card with black foam squares. I then sprinkled a few stars, dots etc. from the Puffy Icons Sticker sheet.

For the second card, I started by water coloring a spooky night scene using Distress Watercolor Pencils, and Distress Watercolor Cardstock. I dried this background, and then splattered some “stars” with Gansai Tambi Starry Colors palette. I then trimmed this background down to 4” x 5.25”.  The "b"side of the Plaid it's Halloween paper from the Hey Pumpkin 6x6 paper pad has a variety of decorative strips, from this I trimmed out the one that looks like a fence. I added this to my background. 

I matted this background onto some patterned paper from the same paper pad. 

Next, I took the large die-cut “halloween night” moon from the Hey Pumpkin Chit Chat Ephemera Pack, and added some Sakura Black Glaze Pen to the wings of the bats, and traced over the “halloween” letters. I also used a Sakura Quickie Glue Pen to add some Prisma Glitter to the details on the moon.

I also added some sparkle to the colored in car. I added it on the highlights of the pumpkin, balloons, bumper, headlights and ghost. I used a Sakura Black Glaze pen to dot the eyes of the cat, pumpkin, and ghost. I also filled in the steering wheel. 

I added the moon and car to the card with black foam squares. I then sprinkled a few stars I cut out with the Hey Pumpkin coordinating die set out of black sparkle cardstock. Lastly, I added some glossy accents to the headlights. 

I am sharing the swatches of the Copic colors I used to color the images above so you can easily recreate them with the coloring medium you choose.  If you would like to learn more about coloring with Copic markers or alcohol-based markers, be sure to check out my Copic 101 online class, which includes a workbook! 

 If these cards have inspired you to create with your Doodlebug Halloween stash I would love to see what you create! Be sure to tag me on social media!
