HEY PUMPKIN TRAVELERS NOTEBOOK LAYOUTS | with Tya

Happy Halloween everyone! I'm so happy to be here with you today to share my latest project! As the holiday season approaches, and schedules get busier, finding time to craft can feel like a challenge. That's why I am loving traveler's notebook-sized layouts, especially when paired with the adorable "Hey Pumpkin" collection! This compact size is perfect for fitting in creative time without the commitment to a full 12x12 layout! I just adore this size!

Today I have 2 layouts to show you, so let's get started!
My first layout was such a fun one to create! I made the "Trunk or Treat" die cut from the Chit Chat ephemera my focal point on the left page, immediately bringing that Halloween spirit to life!


To decorate this page a bit more, I cut rectangles from various pattern papers from the 6x6 paper pad and used them as tiny little trick-or-treat bags. I added some black twine to the top for the handles and decorated each bag with some of the Puffy Stickers for extra dimension and charm.
For the right-hand page of this layout, I used the playful Peek-a-Boo paper as my background. The black subtle pattern was the perfect background to showcase my two photos along with my journaling. I added a few stars from the Odds and Ends ephemera, some more Puffy Stickers, and the fun "happy Halloween" speech bubble die cut from the Chit Chat die cuts.
My journaling was typed up on one of the tags from the Bits and Pieces pack. How cute is that little car filled with all my Halloween friends in it? It is from the Icon Sticker Sheet.


On my second layout, I used the bright and colorful Bubblegum Gingham/Linen Petite Print paper for my background. The vibrant color sets a fun tone for the pages, making it perfect to capture the fun memories of this Halloween Disney trip we took.


To embellish the layout, I added die cuts from the Bits and Pieces pack, along with a few Puffy Stickers. The "good times" sticker on the green label is from the This and That Sticker Sheet.
For my journaling, I knew I wanted to use one of the cut-apart journaling spots on the "Sabrina's Sock" paper. I cut one out and added my journaling as there was a bit to say about the details of this trip. I trimmed a piece of the Jolly Jack-o-Lanterns paper and made it a side pocket to tuck the journaling in. This really ties the whole layout together! And how adorable is this sweet and spooky trio of Halloween friends in the corner? Love the touch this die cut from the Bits and Pieces added to this part of the layout!
Don't the Puffy Stickers add the perfect amount of shine? I just love this little smattering decorating the top of my journaling spot!
Thank you so much for stopping by and checking out my traveler's notebook-sized layouts! I hope these pages have inspired you to give this size a try as a way to keep your memory keeping quick and enjoyable during this busy holiday season. It's a great way to document those special moments without feeling overwhelmed! Happy crafting my fa-boo-lous friends! See you next time!

HEY PUMPKIN GHOUL FRIENDS LAYOUT | with Nathalie

Halloween is just a few days! Time to get ready to celebrate and document all those fun and spooky activities with the beautiful Hey Pumpkin collection. I love the fun designs and colors in this collection, and they were perfect to document this story.

Can you believe that I only used my 6x6 paper pad to create this layout! I wanted to play with circles, and the smaller patterns were just what I need it to make the photo pop on the page.

I started by trimming the stripe paper into two 6x3" strips and set them on the gray cardstock so they lay from left to right edges. However, I set them so they are about 1" higher on the right side of the page.

Next it was all about the circles. I simply cut a few circles (with a metal die) from the 6x6 paper pad. I layered a few of them with a second circle to create a frame-like idea, and also to minimize the patterns on the page. I set them in a zig zag motion down the page. Then placed the photo atop the two paper strips.

Then it was all about embellishing, I pulled pieces from the Bits and Pieces, Odds and Ends, to add interest to the circles. I added icon stickers, puffy stickers and Doodle pops as I worked down the page. For the title, I reached for large Chit Chat words and added extra puffy stickers to bring it all together.

I love how this layout came together so easily. I cannot wait to see all your Halloween paper crafting. Remember to check the Hey Pumpkin collection! XO

HEY PUMPKIN KITTY BOX CARDS | with Kathy

My favorite icon in the Hey Pumpkin Collection is of course the adorable black cat!  He looks just like my boy Jax!  So, when I saw the adorable Hey Pumpkin SVG files, I decided to create a couple of box cards featuring that sweet kitty!  Take a peek...

I started with the Hey Pumpkin October Garden Kitty 2 SVG.  The little kitty popping up from behind the pumpkin made me smile!  I cut the pieces from the Hey Pumpkin Coordinating Textured Cardstock and added some Bits & Pieces and Puffy Icons for the florals.  I love that the coordinating cardstock packs have the perfect colors!

I added the hello speech bubble from the Chit Chat pieces using a piece of heavyweight acetate so it looks like it's floating.

My next card features the Hey Pumpkin Pumpkin Kitty SVG.  The little fella in the pumpkin candy pail was too cute to resist!


I added some candy pieces from the Odds & Ends Pack and candy corn from the Puffy Icons.  The sentiment speech bubble is from the Chit Chat pieces.


I created a tutorial a few years ago showing how I convert flat cut files to 3D cards.  You can find that here on the Doodlebug blog. It will give you a general idea on how to create your own box cards featuring Doodlebug's cut files!  That's it for me today, I hope you all have a fun and safe Halloween!

HEY PUMPKIN ACCORDION MINI ALBUM | with Conny

Hey everyone, It's Conny! I'm excited to share a beautiful accordion mini album showcasing the stunning Hey Pumpkin Collection. This album was a joy to create, offering the perfect canvas for adding photos on both sides. I especially enjoyed the opportunity to design flip-up pages, adding an extra element of surprise and creativity to the album.


Let's get started! I started with two chipboard pieces measuring 4 1/2" x 6 1/2". I used black cardstock measuring 8" x 6 1/8" to cover them.  I placed the chipboard in the middle using a book cover guide, leaving about 3/4" all around and added adhesive all around the 3/4" and folded those into the chipboard.

Next, I created the accordion pages. I used 110 lb black cardstock for the pages, measuring 6 1/2" x 11",  scored at 4 1/2" x 9". The ends that measure 2" between the 9" x11" were adhered to the chipboard covers. After adding the hinges to the chipboard,  I joined the pages, creating a zigzag! If you want to create a pocket out of the pages you are joining, that is also an option. Make sure when matting the pages, the pocket is facing up. The black cardstock papers throughout the album measure 4 3/8" x 6 3/8". Next I chose my favorite papers from the collection.
The white photo matts were cut in three sizes: 3 3/4" x 4 1/4", 6" x 3 3/4", and 8 1/2" x 4 3/4".  I scored the longest side of the 8 1/2" x 4 3/4" mat at 4 1/4" to create flip-up pages.  I embellished them with my favorite pieces from the Bits and Pieces, Odds & Ends, chit chat, and more.
You can find the process video on my YouTube channel (link below)  Thank you for stopping by, and I can't wait to see what you create using the Hey Pumpkin Collection. Happy Haunting!!! Xo Conny!!

HEY PUMPKIN WITCH CANDY HOLDER | with Jen

I have been obsessed with the witches in the new Hey Pumpkin collection! They are just the cutest but the little witch at her cauldron has to be my favorite.

I used the adorable Hey Pumpkin Witches Brew SVG file and my Cricut to make a cute little candy dish. I cut the file as-is,  sized up to 11" tall. I cut the base layer from medium weight chipboard four times and then stacked and glued them together.

I added 1/4" strips of black cardstock around the edge to hide the chipboard, but you could also paint it. I cut an extra frog and an extra cauldron. I used the Hey Pumpkin coordinating cardstock to cut all the layers. You could use petite prints for some layers as well.


For the treat bowl area I cut a piece of black cardstock to 8 1/2" x 10 1/2". Starting with the 8 1/2" side at the top of my score board, I scored it at 3 1/4" and 5 1/4". I then turned it a quarter turn to the 10 1/2" side and scored at 3 1/4" and 7 1/4".


I then cut along my 3 1/4" and 5 1/4" score lines up to the middle score lines (see below).


Fold sides up and in and adhere so that they are hidden behind the cauldron (you may need to trim the top after adhering).


To decorate the front of the cauldron I use some Chit Chat and the Trick or Treat Shape Sprinkles.


Have a great day!

HEY PUMPKIN TRUNK OR TREAT LAYOUT | with Traci

Hey scrappers! Traci here and today, I have a super simple 12x12 layout to share with you that's made with the adorable Hey Pumpkin Collection. It's titled Trunk or Treat and it's perfect for your Halloween photos. Because I make so many kits, I have lots of wonderful scraps. I love the papers and I wouldn't dare throw them out. So, I save them for a fun project like this! 

To start, I used the 12x12 Plaid It's Halloween pattern paper and layered lily white cardstock on top to create the base.

Next, the colorful squares. I used a 1 3/4" square punch by Marvy Uchida to cut 21 shapes out of the mix of 12x12 and 6x6 patterns. I also punched a few images out of the Trick or Treat Tags paper. The candle sitting on the books above came from one of those tags.

Once I had the squares arranged on the page, I created two photo mats out of the pink Boo-tiful Bouquet paper. I added a few flower die cuts from the Bit & Pieces and some enamel stars from the October Sky shape sprinkles.

I love this little pink car! Did you notice the little "boo" license plate, the skull hood ornament, and the headlights that look like eyes? Such fun details. It's from the icon stickers and the colorful "trunk or treat" is from the Chit Chat. So cute!

12x12 Trunk or Treat Halloween Scrapbook Layout with a colorful tree, enamel dots, and pumpkins

Every page needs a little shine, so I decorated the tree mini icon sticker with lots of enamel dots from the Trick or Treats shape sprinkles. It's the Halloween version of a Christmas tree! And sitting underneath, a cute pumpkin puffy sticker.

What a simple layout, right? I love it when a project comes together easily and you have such fun products to play with. The Hey Pumpkin Collection is perfect for Halloween crafts with its pretty holiday colors and adorable little characters. I hope my layout gives you a little inspiration!

HEY PUMPKIN DOODLE POP CARDS | with Karen

Today, as I was looking through my new Doodlebug Hello Pumpkin collection for some inspiration, I came across the Doodle Pops! And boy, oh boy, are they a treat (pun not intended). So, I decided I would feature 3 of my favourites on this set of cards - because after all, Halloween is all about the treats!

All-three-1

So I grabbed a set of card bases from the Cards & Envelopes set that coordinates with the collection and got to work - layering paper with some die cuts from the Bits & Pieces pack and a couple of sentiments from the Chit Chat pack.

Cat-closeup

The glorious part about the Doodle Pops, besides the adorable shapes and characters, is the tremendous dimension these cute stickers bring to any project. Layer upon layer of goodness really does pop on any project you add them to. For this card, I also added some foam adhesive to the die cuts I used around the Doodle Pop just to make sure that they blended in on the design of the card.

Cupcake-closeup

On this card design, the Doodle Pop was perfect for the center of the card - a cut out that looks a bit like a frame.

ghost-closeup

And for this cutie - well I wanted the whole focus to be on him and his adorable, shiny glasses so I added him right to the top layer. Because let's be real - he steals the show anyway!

All-three-2

I love this collection. I mean, I really love it. In fact, I love it so much that I am so sad that this is the last project I get to feature here with it. The good news is that many of the team members have more to share with you over the next couple of weeks so if you are anything like me, stay tuned for so much more fun with Hello Pumpkin!

And since I won't chat with you before Halloween - have a wonderful one in any way that you chose to celebrate! Thanks for stopping by! Hugs,
