ADVENT CALENDAR HOUSE - HELLO AGAIN STORAGE | with Nathalie

Today, I want to show you a little twist for your Advent Calendars. Maybe is the fact that we have adult children, and that we live in an apartment, that pushed me to look at this project as a storage case that can live in my common area throughout the year... Let me show you what I have created:

As you can see I went with a design that can easily fit in any room of my apartment where we need storage for little items (my daughter is already thinking about a second one for her earrings and make up)

I used the 6x6 Dot/Stripe Petite Print pad and the12x12 Dot/Stripe papers to cut the covers for each box. My inspiration for the colors was one of my favorite collections of this year, HELLO AGAIN. I also used the Butterfly Wishes Doodle cuts to create matching butterfly die cuts and attached them to the front of each box.

For the top of the calendar, I used patterned paper from the Hello Again collection to cover the top and the roof of the house. I used a die to create the window and shutters and added that to the top of the house. I added a bit of pom pom trim to the edge of the house to mark the roof of the house. Then continued the butterfly theme to the top of the window and shutters..

Once it was all ready, I filled the little boxes with my Doodle pins and a few favorite little trinkets. Like I said, it is the perfect place for some extra storage.

I hope this gives you a new idea for your Advent Calendars. Remember to share with us what you create!  XO

HELLO AGAIN ALTERED SHADOW BOX INSERT | with Karen

Hello again! It's Karen with another, well...Hello Again... project (Sorry, that was a really bad start)! This awesome collection is full of florals and fun icons and I wanted to celebrate all of that today. So I decided to feature the amazing Shadow Box Insert together with some amazing floral die cuts created with the Butterfly Wishes Doodle Cuts.

    

If you haven't seen the Shadow Box inserts yet, they are amazing little "all in one" projects that come with all everything you need to create amazing 8"x8" inserts that fit perfectly in a shadow box. They even come with the template you can tape your vellum over top and simply place all of the stickers down. My daughters have come to love these projects and I find they make really good project for craft nights.

   

 

But I also wanted to show you that it is easy to customize the kits as well. I have a huge passion for paper flowers and I love adding them to projects, so I decided to see if I could add some effectively here. Using the Butterfly Wishes Doodle Cuts, which just so happen to have some beautiful floral dies in the set, I cut and layered some flowers using the 6x6 paper pack for this collection.

   

Then, instead of using some of the stickers that were in the original template, I used the flowers at the bottom of my piece, filling in some of the empty spaces with some of the original stickers that I didn't use. If you look in the picture above, you will see that template in the background. Below the wheel of the bicycle, you can see the modification I made with the die cut flowers. It was an easy change that just added a little bit of something personal to me.

   

These inserts make a beautiful addition to your décor and you can switch them out for the seasons. Keep them as they are or have a little fun and change things up. Either way, I know you will love it! Thanks for stopping by! Hugs,

HELLO AGAIN POP UP CARDS | with Kathy

 Hello friends!  It's good to be back after a short break, and how lucky am I to come back to the Hello Again Collection??  I love all the fun flowers, butterflies, the bright colors... everything!  I decided to make some fun pop up cards using the new coordinating Butterfly Wishes and Home Sweet Home Doodle Cuts.  Take a peek!

My first card was so fun to put together. All of the dies are from the Butterfly Wishes Doodle Cuts.  I cut the butterflies and flowers from a combination of the Hello Again 6x6 pad and some of the new Candy Stripe-Sprinkles and Plaid-Polka Dot Petite Prints.  To add a bit of shine, I also cut the gold envelope that is part of the coordinating cards and envelope set.

To make my butterflies seem like they are flying, I glued pieces of acetate to my base, and then added the butterflies to the acetate.  I love how it looks like they are floating!  The sentiment was cut using the Thanks Die included in the Butterfly Wishes set.

My next card was made using the Home Sweet Home Doodle Cuts Set.  My nephew just purchased his first home and I can't wait to give them this fun card!  I added some flowers from the Hello Love Shaped Sprinkles to the window boxes and to the base of the card.  My sentiment is from the This and That Sticker Sheet.

Again, I used the vellum trick to make the heart "puffs" seem to rise from the chimney, and also to add the sun and clouds to the sky.

These cards were so fun to put together!  Have you created any projects with the Hello Again Collection or the coordinating Doodle Cuts?  Be sure to tag Doodlebug Design on Socials, we always love to see your creations!  That's it for me today, thank you for stopping by to peek!

HELLO AGAIN GIFT BOX | with Miguel

Making fun boxes to package up a little gift is what I enjoy doing the most!  You have the option to let your imagination run wild and create them in so many different ways. Today I made a box with Acetate, textured cardstock, and the beautiful Hello Again collection.

In addition to using embellishments from the collection, I also decorated with some pretty butterflies and Flowers I cut using the Butterfly Wishes Doodle Cuts.  Cutting with foamy and cardstock will help you create beautiful dimensions like I did with these pieces. I loved the result!

Another of the materials that I used was the Washi tape since it looks very nice in the transparency of the acetate. Don't you think so? The Mini jewels is another product that adds sparkle to our project, look at the way it decorates the wings of the butterflies.

I say goodbye inviting you to create with the wonderful Doodlebug products. See you soon!
