SNOW MUCH FUN BOX CARDS | with Kathy

I always love Doodlebug's winter collections, and Snow Much Fun does not disappoint!  The colors, the critters, and of course... the yeti, all of it is adorable!  And when I saw the coordinating Snow Cute Doodle Cuts, I knew I had to make some fun cards.  Take a peek....

When I saw the "it was love at frost sight" chit chat piece, I thought it would make a cute Valentine's sentiment.  I created 2 bears using the Snow Cute Doodle Cuts and put them in a snowy scene, along with the cute little birdie from the set.

I created a floating heart using a strip of acetate and one of the I Love Snow Shaped Sprinkles.  A fun tip when using the Doodle Cuts... if you want a "mirrored" image like my second bear, all you have to do is cut the bear pieces from the "wrong side" of your paper.

I finished the card with some Puffy Icon Snowflakes and some more Sprinkle hearts.  The bow on the bear's ear is from the Christmas Cocoa Doodle Cuts.

For my next card, I decided I wanted to use all of the other adorable critters in the Snow Cute  Doodle Cuts Set.  I looked through the Chit Chat pieces and found the "hello there" banner and thought it would be fun to create a just because card.

I created another fun snow scene, this time with some water for the adorable seal.  I cut all of the critters from the Snow Much Fun Coordinating Textured Cardstock pack.  I love Doodlebug cardstock, not only does it cut like a dream, but the colors coordinate perfectly with the collections!  I'm not sure which critter is my favorite, but it just might be that waving yeti!  How about you??  What is your favorite?

I can already tell that I'm going to be using these dies again and again! Be sure to stop by all this month for more Snow Much Fun inspiration from the Design Team.  And if you create any projects using the collection, be sure to tag Doodlebug on socials, we love to see your work!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek.

GINGERBREAD KISSES CHRISTMAS COCOA DOODLECUTS GIFT CARD HOLDERS | with Lisa

This week I was in the mood for a different kind of crafting. My favorite thing to make are layouts, but sometimes you just want to switch things up. When I saw the cute Christmas Cocoa Doodle Cuts from the Gingerbread Kisses collection, I knew I wanted to create some kind of little pockets or gift card holders, so that's what I did!

I made these during a workshop day at my house. While the attendees, were occupied creating their first layout, I started cutting out all of the pieces. There are quite a few pieces in this die set, but it's relaxing choosing colors and preparing all of the parts!  I made one traditional Santa and one Santa in pink. I LOVE this color combo and I think it just looks so cool. I really love this die set.

When I was done with all the pieces, I glued everything together and added a black border, white highlights and pink cheeks to the Santas and gingerbread men.  I drew a mitten shape and cut it out of four different patterned papers. The pink and red ones, called Berry Floral and Christmas Jammies and for the back sides, I used the brown side of Baking Spirits Bright and the back side of Berry Floral.

I stitched both sides together and added the white furry part on the bottom. Before I adhered the mugs to the mittens, I created two rosettes out of Sugarplums and Holiday Sprinkles papers. I don't particularly like the process of creating rosettes, but I LOVE the end result and I love adding them to layered crafts.

For some more decoration, I added shaped sprinkles, jewels and some word stickers from the This & That Cardstock Stickers. I also sprinkled gold ink on both of the mittens.

I just love this mug full of happiness and I'm sure I will create more of these... ;) The bottom part of the mittens is open, so you add money, a gift card or a letter! I hope you are inspired to create your own little gifts using this die set. See you soon...
