SWEET BABY CARDS | with Karen

My daughters are almost preteens now (I know, the TEEN years are coming....ahhhhh), so when Doodlebug released Bundle of Joy and Special Delivery I wasn't sure how many projects I would use them for! But I have to tell you that I have been totally enamored with these collections since they arrived. My card box is filled with adorable cards to give away to families expecting their bundles of joy...and really, I have at least 4 other projects planned.

   

Because really, how cute are these babies?!!

 

I love the simplicity of being able to colour up an image, like this one from Special Delivery, and use the coordinating Doodle Cuts for a fast process! With all of the cute details in the paper and the help of some Shape Sprinkles, it can be as easy as that!

   

Or, if you want to spend a bit of extra quality time with these babies, there are so many cute shapes that you can use to create a little scene. I simply added a couple of hearts to the baby carriage for some background fun...

   

...or even do some masking and have some fun layered stamp image like I did with this cute little gal and some of the fun florals and extras in the Bundle of Joy stamp set. Every card will be different, but sure to bring a smile to your face!

   

So whether you have tiny people in your life or not, these two collections are keepers! They definitely put the cute and fun into crafting projects!

NURSERY FRIENDS DOODLE STAMPS CARDS | with Karen

When Doodlebug released their two new baby collections, I was obsessed with the little baby characters. I mean, those little cuties make me want to pinch some serious cheeks. But the glorious thing about these collections is that there is so much other cuteness in there too - in the adorable animal characters in both collections! So, for this project, I decided to feature all the cute animals you can find in the Toy Box and Nursery Friends stamp sets.

 

The variety of cute characters in this collection is simply outstanding! And with matching Doodle Cuts to making cutting them out a breeze, pulling together a card for a little person in your life is easy-peasy!

 

I grabbed some of the Petite Prints in different gray patterns to compliment the papers and patterns I chose from the 6X6 stack...

 

...coloured up the stamps with some alcohol markers and topped everything off with some of the great shapes from the Chit Chat and Odds & Ends die cut packs that coordinate with the collection. These pieces are perfect for sentiments and to balance out the stamps a bit, adding a bit of extra texture and dimension.



At the end of the day, these little animal friends make great baby and toddler cards, but I also can't wait to use them for some other cute cards in the near future! Stay tuned!  Thanks for stopping by!

BABY GIFT SETS | with Stephanie

Hello Doodlebug friends!  I am sharing another project today, again featuring both of the baby collections Special Delivery and Bundle of Joy. I have had so much fun creating cards and gift bags using these sweet little baby icons. For both cards and bags I used lots of Doodle Pop dimensional stickers as my focal point.  Here’s a look at the Special Delivery set:

The little critters are the cutest and of course steal the show, but the bag itself is a cut file I found at the Silhouette Design Store here.  I chose several 12 x12 pattern papers as well as matching petite prints to cut the different sections of the bag including the handles and pockets.  It has 3 pockets on the front and sides just large enough to put something small in each one.

Here’s a closer look at all the little goodies I was able to fit inside my 'diaper bag.’  All of the products are trial size and came in a box set which were a perfect fit for my bag.  

And if I make make something using one collection it’s hard for me not to recreate something similar using the other collection.  So here’s my diaper bag and card using Bundle of Joy.  

And finally here’s a little closer look at my cards.  I love using Doodle Pop stickers for cards, because let’s face it, they do all the hard work of making my projects “pop!”

For the base of the cards I used Doodlebug's assortment of card and envelope kits then layered two square and two circle die cut layers using 6x6 pattern papers.  The Welcome to the World sentiment comes from the 12x12 This and That Cardstock sticker sheet.

I think these make the sweetest cards and gifts to take to new parents complete with a little creative love and lots of Doodlebug cuteness!
