FARMERS MARKET BOX CARDS | with Kathy

I hope all of our followers had a wonderful Thanksgiving break!  Personally, I ate too much and spent too much on my holiday shopping, but it was wonderful to have family home!  I also got some time in the craft room to play some more with the Farmers Market Collection.  I was picking through the adorable Odds & Ends and found the cutest little paper bag full of veggies, and I thought it would make a cute 3D Box Card.  I came up with two different versions... take a peek...

For my first card, I used the floral pieces from the Bits & Pieces pack to fill my bag.  For the base of my card, I altered this file from Lori Whitlock.  I added handles and my own inserts, and lots and lots of flowers!  I layered many and added some foam dots for more dimension. 

To finish it, I added a Chit Chat sentiment and some of the Honey Bees and Fall Flowers Shaped Sprinkles.  

My next card was made to resemble the cute paper bag of veggies from the Odds & Ends pack.  I used the same base file for the bag, and then chose the cutest of the veggies to add to my card. 

To complete, I added the Hello sign from the Chit Chat pieces.  How fun are those little smiles?

That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

FAIRY GARDEN ODDS & ENDS CARDS | with Karen

It is no secret that I am addicted to Doodlebug stamps. As a card maker, I use them on almost every project I create. But before Doodle Stamps came along, my favourite card making products were the Doodlebug Odds and Ends die cut sets. In fact, even though stamps often feature prominently on my projects, you will almost always find Odds and Ends and Chit Chat sentiments on them as well.

So today, I decided to go back to my Doodlebug roots and have some fun with the Odds and Ends and Chit Chat sets...

...to help me create an absolutely adorable Fairy Garden card set.

When you are creating cards, having a variety of shapes and pieces that work together helps to create layers that add dimension to your cards. And given that Doodlebug LOADS the Odds and Ends and Chit Chat packages, you can create SO many cards, each with a unique look.

I also find that since I usually make A2 cards, these die cuts are also the perfect size for standard cards helping to create a scale on your cards that works every single time...even on fun interactive cards like these pop out explosion cards.

Whether you are decorating in front of the card or the inside of the card, you will find shapes and sentiments that will work! And while I love stamping and colouring, when Doodlebug does the work for you, creation time is cut in half!

So there you have it! A little inspiration for some cards that simply need a little cutting a little glueing. I hope you love them as much as I do!

Thanks for stopping by!
