6 X 8 MINI ALBUMS - BUNNY HOP ALBUM PART 2 | with Conny

Hello everyone! It’s Conny, and today, I'm excited to explore the inside pages and pockets of this fun 6" x 8" mini album with you! If you missed it, we have already decorated the cover, which you can find in the blog post here . Let’s mix it up a little with the interior setup by incorporating elements from both the Hello Again and Bunny Hop collections for these pages.

I love tags!

In the 3" x 4" pockets, I added some colorful sequins and little sprinkles that create a playful vibe, making everything shine. Additionally, I included two sweet photos of Savanna having a great time hunting for eggs in our backyard with her dad! To add a magic touch, I incorporated a cute doodle-pop from the Butterfly Bouquet collection onto one of the cards.

On the back of this page, I added two more photos embellished with Odds and Ends or cardstock stickers. In one of those insert pockets, I included some tag flip pages using the Doodlebug Design - Hello Again Collection - 12" x 12" Double-Sided Paper - Just Because paper, along with a few tags.

It's coming together beautifully, and I'm truly excited to see how everything unfolds in this project! I've chosen to work with the 8 1/4" x 6 1/4" Forever Flowers design for that Large clear pocket. What I love most about this piece is the lovely wreath that already provides a wonderful background, setting the perfect tone. To enhance it further, I added a variety of extra flowers, along with charming butterflies and a cute bunny. I also included the phrase "Thanks for being you" as a heartfelt touch.

For the side pocket page, I decided to create a vibrant and eye-catching look by matting it with a rainbow-colored paper that adds a fun pop. I embellished this section with delightful Doodle-pops, which bring an element of playfulness to the design, as well as using cardstock from my mini album collection. Additionally, I rummaged through my stash and found a few adorable embellishments I had previously created, which fit perfectly with the overall theme of the album. It's all coming together seamlessly, and I can't wait to continue working on it!

I stitched the pocket with my sewing machine to keep the sprinkles inside, and I love that the pocket openings are on the side—nothing spills out. I love that!

Don't forget to enhance the outside of the pockets with various embellishments to create more layers and texture. This will add depth and visual interest to your project! I'm excited to share more of the interior pages of my album in the next post, so make sure to come back and check them out. Happy crafting, everyone! Sending love, Conny!

6 X 8 MINI ALBUMS - BUNNY HOP ALBUM | with Conny

Hello Crafty Friends, I am so excited about the projects we have been sharing with you this week!  The design team has been working with the new 6" x 8" albums, this week focusing on the cover pages, using any collection that inspires us. I absolutely adore and chose the Bunny Hop Collection—it reminds me of spring, and those pastel colors are my favorite!

I'm always looking for fun ways to use the Shadow Box Insert Kits; they are so much fun to assemble. For the cover of this album, I used the Shadow Box Insert Kit from the Bunny Hop Collection. I started by layering the sprinkle stickers and cardstock stickers using the template. The template creates a circle layout.  I wanted to cover the entire front cover so to achieve this, I added gems, more enamel dots, and sprinkles to complete the corners.

Next, I worked with the Bunny Hop Collection's 12" x 12" double-sided paper in Springtime Stripe. I trimmed the paper to 6 1/4" x 8 1/2" and adhered the vellum design from the insert kit on top of it. Using my sewing machine, I added stitches around the embellishments to create a framed effect before attaching it to my 6" x 8" album with liquid glue.

On the left side of the album, I created a ribbon cluster using colors to match the collection. I also added the Bunny Hop Collection's Just Charming Clip and Key Chain. I used the "Hello" and "You Warm My Heart " sentiments from the chit-chat pieces to finish the album cover.

Be sure to come back to see the inside of my album in my next post! Happy crafting!

DOODLEBUG SHAKERS BIRTHDAY PHOTO GLOBE | with Conny

Hey Crafty Friends,  It's Conny here and today we are focusing on Shakers and DIY Snow Globes. For my project, I used the Bunny Hop Collection and focused on the florals and one of my favorite photos of Savanna. Her birthday is coming I wanted to make her something special. 

Let's get started! First, I printed a 4" x 6" photo. Then, I traced a circle on the photo using the Snow Globe backing, trimmed it using scissors, and added florals from the bits and pieces.  Some of the florals were glued directly to the background, while others were placed on foam double-sided adhesive to play with layers since the Snow Globes have room for dimension. Next, I added the "Hello" and "You're so sweet," from the Chit Chat Pieces  along with some Hello Spring Shape Sprinkles and that adorable Springtime Peeps Doodle-Pop! Inside the globe, I added Tangerine Shakers along with some Spring Flower Shakers. On the outside of the globe, I added florals on one side and Mini Jewels -  on the other side with the title "JUST FOR YOU!

We're super excited to see what wonderful creations you make with our Snow Globe Kit and Shakers. We just know they will be amazing and we can't wait to marvel at your creativity! 

XO, Conny!

DOODLEBUG SHAKERS - BUNNY HOP SNOW GLOBE | with Brianna

Hey friends! Brianna here with you today and if you've been following me for a while, you know I LOVE to make shakers! Give me anything and I'll make a shaker out of it. So of course when Doodlebug released the adorable Shakers, I couldn't wait to get my hands on them. I was so excited to work with the Snow Globe and turn it into Easter decor. Here's what I created:

To start, I traced the inside the of the glass globe on a piece of white paper and cut it out. I then traced it again on a piece of thicker white cardstock to use as my base. Once that was trimmed out, I took the spring sprouts patterned paper from the 6x6 Paper Pad and then trimmed a few narrow strips out of it. I wanted to create some grass with it so I pulled out my fringe scissors and cut into the strips. I added foam tape to the backs of each strip and before I adhered them down, I took a blue Distress Oxide Ink pad and ink blended on my sky.

I thought it would be fun to create a little scene using the Mini Icon Stickers, so I pulled out a few cute ones to help me build it. I don't have a lot of Easter/Spring decor so this was the perfect thing to create so that I can pull it out each year and display it.

I made sure to add foam tape to my stickers so that they could be dimensional and give my scene some depth and interest. The cute carrot house was perfect to layer on top of the two trees and the sun really pulled it all together. I tucked in a bunch of flowers from that same Mini Icon sheet but also pulled in a few from the Chickies Shape Sprinkles pack. To finish this cute globe, I poured in the stars of the show... the Shakers! I chose these colors: Bubblegum, Bumblebee, Mint, Cupcake and Spring Flowers. They added the perfect touch!!

To finish things, I covered a portion of the black base using the may flowers paper from the 6x6 Paper Pad and added a few phrase pieces from the Chit Chat Pack. For some extra sparkle, I adhered a few Jewels from the Easter Assortment around the base. I love how it turned out!

Thank you so much for stopping by today, I hope that I've inspired you in some way. These Shakers are so fun and I can't wait to create even more things with them! See you in my next post friends!

DOODLEBUG SHAKERS RAINBOW GIFT SET | with Tya

Hi there crafty friends! It was so much fun getting to play with the brand-new D.I.Y Snow Globes this month! I don't know about you, but it has been a little dreary in my neck of the woods and I knew I wanted to brighten things up so I used the super bright and happy "Over the Rainbow" collection and a few Doodle Pops from the "Bunny Hop" collection to create this fun little gift ensemble which includes a snow globe, a cute shaker lid container, and a whimsical Tag Flip!

To make the Snow Globe, I used the 6x6 Rainbow Wishes paper with the cloud background and layered up some Odds and Ends, and the cute "Hello Sunshine" Doodle Pop to make a little sky scene. I added some of the "Gnome Sweet Gnome" 6x6 paper and traced the base of the Snow Globe onto it. I then added it to my Snow Globe base and decorated that section with a cloud, a button tied with some yellow twine, and some cute yellow pom-pom trim to finish it up.

I used the Cupcake, Bubblegum, Ladybug, Tangerine, Bumblebee, Limeade, and Swimming Pool Shaker Balls to fill up the Snow Globe. Aren't they so much fun?

Next, I created this cute little container with a shaker lid! Believe it or not, this is made from a small Pringles Can and a 3-inch plastic ornament half to make the shaker lid. I fell in love with this little technique and can see myself making oodles of these! They are the perfect way to showcase all of my favorite Doodle Pops! They are so fun to fill up too!

To cover my Pringles can, I used a 4 1/2 x 10-inch strip of Over the Rainbow Stripe paper. I then added two of the decorative border strips from the Lucky Me paper. I added the "It's a Rainbow Kind of Day" die cut to the front of the can with some foam tape. I also added some cute yellow pom-pom trim to the top of the border strip along the bottom of the can. Cute colors abound here!

To make the lid, I added some lightweight chipboard strips behind the clouds on the "Hello Sunshine" Doodle Pop. This made it fit well in the dome. I added a 3-inch cardstock circle on top of the plastic lid and then glued the Doodle Pop down with hot glue. I added the Shaker Balls to the dome and then centered the dome on top of the lid. The dome is held onto the top of the lid with hot glue. This is so fun to shake up!

On the inside of the container, I did a quick little tag flip and featured some of my favorite pieces of the "Over the Rainbow" collection. It fit perfectly, ribbons and all, inside the container!

As you can see, the first tag on the page is a shaker tag that was decorated with some pattern papers, and acetate. The shaker balls were a great interactive element for the cover tag on this little flip!

Here are the tags I did! Lots of layering of 6x6 papers, Odds and Ends, Chit Chat, and Puffy Stickers!

Getting to play with the Snow Globe and Shaker Balls was such a delight and I am thrilled with how this little set turned out. I plan on giving it to a cute niece of mine to brighten her day! Thank you so much for spending a little time here on the Doodlebug Blog today! I hope you have the best day and we will see you all next time! Happy Crafting Friends!
