HEY PUMPKIN COUNTDOWN TO HALLOWEEN | with Kathy

I can't believe October starts tomorrow!  It's time to start our countdown to Halloween, and I have a fun side step card which I converted to a Halloween countdown using the Hey Pumpkin Collection!  Take a peek...

Get ready to trick or treat!  To create this project, I started with a side-step card base.  The one I used is from the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop (linked below) but I also have a tutorial here to which shows how to make the base.  My base was cut from the citrus textured cardstock which is from the Hey Pumpkin Coordinating Textured Cardstock Pack.  I decorated the base with papers from the 6x6 pad.

To create the "countdown" feature, I cut squares from the Homespun Heavyweight Acetate.  I cut them so that the spiderwebs were centered.  I then added numbers to each using some beetle black Alphabet Soup Puffy Alphas.  To do a month-long countdown, you will need the following numbers ( 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0).  The numbers are held on to the card base using a mini clothespin in beetle black which I hot glued for stability.  I decorated the clothespin with a creepy-cute spider from the Halloween Night Shape Sprinkles.

On the "step" side of the card, I created a little scene using Odds & Ends, Icon Stickers, Halloween Assortment Sprinkles, Halloween Night Shape Sprinkles and some Mini Icon Stickers.  I love how Doodlebug's collections have a variety of sizes of their icons to help create fun scenes!  I also added strips of "grass" that I cut with a border die from my stash.  The Halloween word is from the Chit Chat pieces.

To make my witch, bat & stars seem like they are flying, I added a piece of clear heavyweight acetate to the last level of the side Step card, and added the stickers and shape sprinkles directly to the acetate.  I love the look it creates!

Of course I had to add one of the cute black kitties from the collection.  I used one of the kitty in a cup stickers from the Icon Stickers, glued him behind the Halloween and added some coordinating sprinkles to make it look like his paws.

On the back of the card, I have a little pocket to hold all of the numbers.  I covered it with a fun circle element from the Chit Chat Pieces.

PETITE PRINTS PHOTO ORGANIZER | with Jen

Scrapbookers take tons of photos. And if, like me, you're like most scrapbookers you're probably waaayyyy behind on scrapping all those photos! This project will help you keep those photos organized while you design the perfect pages!

I used (almost) all the colors of the new Petite Prints in both the Plaid/Polka Dot and Candy Stripe/Sprinkles to construct my folders and the box to hold them.

I used Doodlebug Alphabet Soup Puffy Letters to label each folder with the month and decorated my box with some Odds and Ends, Chit Chat, and Shape Sprinkles from Cute & Crafty.

On the folders I added a mini doily and pieces from the Cute & Crafty Bits and Pieces to finish them off.

DOODLE POPS & PUFFY STICKERS EMBELLISHMENT GIFT BOX | with Niella

Hey there crafty crew :-) It's Niella here and it's delightful to see you here today! Let's get started with a sweet gift box of doodlebug buggies! This would be fun to gift for any occasion, in fact who needs a celebration to gift a handmade box of crafty assortments! For this cute gift box with window and slide out tray I've used the darling Lots of Love collection!

This handmade gift box measures 5.5"x4" and has a slide out tray with optional divider insert. One side can hold doodle-pops or stand alone doodle cuts spring garden flowers and the other can be used to house the lady bugs, so adorable! I love that once you have these dies you can use any patterned paper to your hearts desire!

Adding in some crinkle paper mix makes sure the goodies don't slide around and gives that extra neat touch to your fun gift box. I've decorated the top of the gift box with Doodle Pops, Alphabet Soup Puffy Stickers, shape sprinkles, die cut and chit chat ephemera. So many great elements from Doodlebug Design to choose from!

Idea: tuck in one or two puffy heart shapes on the doodle-pops lady bugs to make wings! Perfect.

For these buggies; I've used a mix of textured cardstock and the 6x6" Lots of Love paper pad and the Spring Garden Doodle Cuts. And how cute to have an optional window to see the little faces! I had so much fun using the dies to make a big family of buggies.

I'm going to make several of these for gifting and keeping for my craft room. Hope you've been inspired today, can't wait to see what you create! Keep crafting y'all! Until next time; doodle-doo!

I love working with transparencies, they always look unique!  Today I made this small acetate bag with a beach theme, perfect to wrap up a gift!

I used washi tape from the Seaside Summer collection , on the front I placed a palm tree Doodle Pop and as a final touch the word "beach" with the Alphabet Soup Puffy Stickers.  These look great on any project!

DOODLE POPS & PUFFY STICKERS PERPETUAL CALENDAR | with Kathy

I will admit, I am a Doodle Pop hoarder.  I have hundreds.  I love them, and I'm afraid to use them all in one!  So when the design team was challenged to use Doodle Pops and Puffy Stickers for a project... I decided to go big!  By big, I mean I used a dozen Doodle Pops!  (I might have needed oxygen after this craft project...)  I created  a fun perpetual calendar for my craft area using them all!  Take a peek...

To create the base for my calendar, I started with a brochure/photo holder cut file from Lori Whitlock which I resized to make a bit larger.  I added a piece of chipboard to the back of the box for stability, and covered the whole box with some buffalo-woodgrain petite prints.  I then used my Cinch disc puncher to cut the top and add some rings.  This allowed me to create number flips for the days of the month.  For the number pieces, I cut 14 pieces of swimming pool dot-stripe petite prints, measuring 1.75' x 2.5'.  I added some skinny alpha numbers to the center, and punched them with my disc cinch.  The left side numbers are 0-3, the right numbers are 0-9.

The front panel of the box measured slightly larger than 3" x 4", so I cut 12 rectangles using a die from my stash and various papers, and proceeded to decorate each using Doodle Pops and the Alphabet Soup Puffy Stickers.  Each month, I can swap out the front panel, which is attached with a mini clothespin.  The extra months are stored in the front pocket.

The back of the box has an easel to help it stand up.

Here is a look at all the fun months!  Those Doodle Pops are just too cute, and the Alphabet Soup Puffy stickers were the perfect size to list the months!

The best part of this project... although I used all the Doodle Pops, I still have them to look at any time I wish!  It's a win-win, lol.  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!
