CUTE & CRAFTY SHAPED CARDS | with Kathy

The Cute & Crafty Collection is absolutely one of my all-time favorites!  The little icons all just make me happy!  I decided that they would make some super-cute shaped cards.  The only problem... which ones should I choose?  It was not an easy decision, but I was able to pick just a few!  Take a peek...

I loved the rainbow stack of pencils on the little squares side of the Perfectly Plaid cardstock.  I decided to create my own using the Cute & Crafty Pencil & Eraser SVG.  I made multiples of the pencil in a rainbow of coordinating Petite Prints.  Their little faces just make me happy!  I stacked them up and added some mini heart rainbow sprinkles and a sentiment from the This & That Sticker Sheet.

For my next card I chose to use the Cute & Crafty Bobbins SVG.  Again I used the Coordinating Petite Prints Pack to piece it together and finished it off with another sentiment from the This & That Sticker Sheet. 

I love the punny sentiment!

For my last card I used the Cute & Crafty Camera SVG.  I thought it would be fun to make the camera lens a shaker.  I cut 10 circles from chipboard, stacked them up then added some Doodlebug Sequins and a piece of acetate.  To finish him off, I added a smile sticker from the Chit Chat pieces.

I have a tutorial on my blog here showing how to create shaped cards using Silhouette and a cut file here.  You could also create them in Cricut in a similar manner using the Offset and weld functions. Have you created any projects using the Cute & Crafty Cut files?  Be sure to tag Doodlebug on Facebook and Instagram.  We love to see what you create! That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

CUTE & CRAFTY SHAKER CARDS | with Lisa

Yay for shaker cards!!!   Haha... I love shaker pockets and cards, don't you? For this project I decided to create three shaker cards, using a the Cute & Crafty Jars of Sprinkles cut file.

To start, I went through the new Cute & Crafty cut files and found this cute Jar of Sprinkles file. Since the jars are filled with glitter and sequins in reality, I thought it would be a cool idea to use those for my shaker cards and fill them too.   I cut all the pieces out, using different Doodlebug colored cardstock sheets. I cut out the container part twice; once like it was originally, the second one, I changed a bit, letting the machine cut out the inner part, so that I would have a window to back with acetate. 

I adhered all of the pieces together after adding some ink around the edges, then I added some highlights with a white jelly pen.   I backed the "open" jar with a piece of acetate and then I put dimensional foam tape around all the edges.   To fill the little jar, I used three different "Sugar Coating" glitters and sequins. Then I added the "filled" jar on top, to close the shaker pocket. 

For my card bases, I used three patterned papers from the collection, that had a white background. I cut them 8x8inches and folded them in the middle, to create an 8x4 card. I put some ink around the borders to create a frame and then adhered the little jars on top.   As a sentiment, I used three banners included in the "Chit Chat" die cuts. To finish the cards, I added two buttons to the top of each jar.

I think the cards turned out super cute and they can be used for every occasion.
