Spring Garden Collection: Card Set by Courtney Lee

April Fools! Except... I'm not fooling anyone with these sweet super springy cards!!! This is Courtney Lee from Court's Crafts with some thank you cards using the new Spring Garden collection!

The first thing I was instantly inspired by were the flowers. I knew I wanted to do a flower cluster. I didn't have a plan for this card at all. I started with the die cut orange flower on the left and worked towards the right not pressing anything down too firmly so I could lift and tuck new pieces as I went.

I knew I wanted to get that adorable ladybug in, the shaped sprinkle flowers and definitely at least one of those awesome matte sprinkles. I finished it off with doodlebug's pre-done thank you stickers. Easy peasy.

This one was a full concept. I thought about putting the teensy type letters in the middle of the flowers and spelled out the "thanks" using the icon stickers. I popped them all up and then the leaves and the ladybug were an afterthought but are my favorite additions!

You wouldn't believe how many times I moved around that sweet ladybug before finally deciding on her placement! :)

I loved all the fancy frills that came with this collection and wanted to show them off. They don't look straight in this picture but that is camera angle I promise. They are straight in real life! eek! haha.

I just wanted to get you a close up of these scrumptious glossy sprinkle shaped ladybugs. You can see how in love with them I was! :) I popped some of the tulips to help create the border and got some of the sweet roll sunshine sticker icons in there too. :)

This gorgeous wreath is nestled in the 4x4 squares on the back of the garden flowers patterned paper. I hand cut around the wreath and then started building some extras onto it. I have to say how in love with those blue birds I am. Wait until you see them on my planner! :) The spring flower enamel shapes are really the stunner of this wreath though. The spring flower sweet roll stickers are tucked behind the top right and bottom left of the wreath as well.

Here they all are again. :)

And just in case you wanted to see them lined up, here they are. I hope this inspires you to make some springy happy cards using this fabulous fabulous collection!!!

FAIRY GARDEN BIRDHOUSE | with Wanda

Hey there! I'm so excited today to share my first project made with the brand new Fairy Garden Collection! This collection is so colorful and fun! I knew I had to make a home décor piece with a garden theme - a Fairy Garden Birdhouse. I bought a plain wooden birdhouse from Hobby Lobby and used lots of Doodlebug supplies to decorate it for Spring. This was such a fun project - I hope you'll try it! You can cover just about anything with paper...let your imagination go crazy!

Here is the front of the birdhouse - covered in Fairy Garden Papers...

And here is the back of the birdhouse... Complete with a letter banner held up by the cutest tiny butterflies...

This is the top down view - I am obsessed with those Garden Flowers - I'll be making more of those for sure.

This is how it started out. I used Mod Podge to affix the papers to the birdhouse, for a nice, even, smooth finish. I did not put Mod Podge over the top of the paper, rather I just used it as the glue to hold it onto the birdhouse.

I used acrylic craft paint to paint the areas of the wood that would show - and not be covered with paper.

Here's a photo of the birdhouse before I decorated it with all the elements.

A few in-process photos! To make the roof shingles, I die cut one inch strips of gingham paper using the Borders and Edges Doodle Cuts. I used ten strips on each half of the roof. I layered them to look like a cozy cottage roof. This took a minute, but I love how it turned out. Once the roof was glued on, I gently used my fingers to lift up the scallops.

All snails, birdies and butterflies are welcome! The fence is a die that I had in my crafty stash. I added the word sticker that says 'hello sunshine' and lots of little bugs and critters...OH and those adorable mushrooms!

To make the crinkly shabby chic flowers I used the Garden Flowers pieces. I sprayed them with water and crinkled them in my hands and then set them aside to dry completely. I did this for the leaves too. Once they were all dry, I splattered white paint over them and then glued the layers together. Of course I finished off with some Glitter Sprinkles for flower centers.

It's always a pleasure to be here sharing a project with you - and my love of all things Doodlebug. Until I see you next time - happy crafting! Do something creative every day! XO

ADDING FLOWERS, ENVELOPES & STAMPING TO PLANNER PAGES | with Jomelle

April Showers bring May Flowers.

I just can't seem to get enough of the Simply Spring Collection that I keep adding to my Daily Doodles. This time I created my weekly layout for the first week of May. It's all about flowers, flowers and more flowers.

All the flowers are in bloom which can bring joy and happiness. We have gotten enough rain here in Southern California for the flowers to bloom beautifully.

As you can see here, I used the garden flowers craft kit to create these flowers. They are super easy to put together and they make any project look fun.

If you know me by now, I love creating envelopes to hold some of my embellishments. I used an envelope punch board from my stash. They are also super easy to put together and they can also add more colors to any projects.

Envelope full of adorable embellishments that scream "Doodlebug"

I created a larger envelope to hold some of my stamps.

I may not be an expert in stamping but I still love using them in my planner. I do know for a fact that I am horrible in coloring stamp images. I have tried and I failed many times. So I came to the conclusion that I should just leave them simple using black ink.

Adding colorful decor around these stamp images made my weekly layout more cheerful and not so boring if I just used plain stamps alone. Using fun color ink to write in my plan will also do the trick.

I just thought the truck stamp is so adorable that even in just plain black ink, don't you think so?

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you add fun colorful flowers in your planner this month.
