MADE WITH LOVE DOODLE DOILIES | with Niella

Hi crafty crew! We're flying through February but luckily for us, crafting is all year long! The cute project I've made today is with a classic Doodlebug Design staple; doilies! And what better collection to use them with than Made With Love! Not only are doilies super adorable to showcase your edible projects, they are just as versatile for crafting with! Let's get into them!

There is a beautiful rainbow of colors in the doily collection to choose from! For mine, I've picked Limeade, Bumblebee, Cupcake, Lily White, Mint, Coral and Ladybug. Then I layered several doilies together to strengthen the foundation. Then cut a circle from the matching papers in the Made with Love collection to be adhered as the doily centre piece. Stitch or glue together. Here I've machine stitched them. I just love the dimension and extra texture stitching brings!

Once you've adhered the doily layers and centre piece you can now decorate them! If you know me, you'll already know this is my fave part! Out come the Icon and mini Icon stickers. Decorate with a theme in mind or just grab any Doodlebug collection and go wild. Use foam dots for 3D appeal!

Look at all these delightful faces and the colors go so well together! From the little glass measuring jugs to the kraft grocery bag to the sugar and the tiny recipe card! Hard to decide which is cutest; they all are!

I've made a whole bunch of these to add to my handmade gifts and projects throughout the year. Think pretty packages, scrapbooking pages, cards, album covers, happy mail, bookmarks and gift bags. How sweet would they be on baked goodies to gift...endless!

Thank you so much for visiting, I hope you've had a crafty hit for today! Don't forget to tag us in on your socials - we're looking forward to seeing your next Doodlebug Design project! Until next time; doodle doo!

FAIRY GARDEN CANDY BAR WRAPPERS | with Wanda

Hi crafty friends! Wanda here - sharing a fun party favor idea - made with the cheery and bright Fairy Garden Collection! This collection is perfect for celebrations and who doesn't love a party?! I decorated candy bar wrapper dies using stickers, papers, twine, die cuts and doilies. Yes, I loved using it all! these would be great to set at a table place or to tuck into a goodie bag as a treat to take home. This project comes together easily and quickly and would not be hard to mass produce. You could use any Doodlebug Collection to fit your party theme...

Each candy bar treat is wrapped with twine and accented with a matching Shape Sprinkle! I used stickers as the main feature. I used the brilliant Borders and Edges Dies to add a row of hearts to my projects.

 Here are my treats - ready for giving! I adore all these colorful papers!

Each wrapper holds a full size Hershey Bar! MMMMMM.

 I made the wrappers from the 12x12 Fairy Garden Papers. Then I glued on a matching mini doily. I applied the white paper layer after wrapping it with Chunky twine. I glued on the rows of hearts with clear glue.

 

 Hearts, flowers and rainbows! So happy and festive!

I'll be back in a couple of weeks with another project to share. Until then, happy crafting!

PETITE PRINTS POCKET PAGES | with Traci

Happy New Year!  For today's project, I decided to pull out my granddaughter's 8x8 album and work on some pages for January.  I had fun making pocket page elements, using Doodlebug basics like petite prints, twine, an envelope, a doily and sprinkles!!  

First off, can we talk about the Doodlebug 8x8 albums?  Love, love, love them!!  Not only is the quality AMAZING, and they come in all the Doodlebug colors, but the sizes and variety of pocket pages are perfect for creating fun interactive layouts!

For my monthly title page, I used blue jean and swimming pool petite prints and Sunshine alpha stickers to set the stage for my pages to come.  A few little odds & ends from the Winter Wonderland collection added some adorable details.

My first pocket page is a 4x4 design.  Does the upper left square look like pattern paper?  It isn't!  I had fun creating this card with border stickers and paper frills!  There are so many different frills in a package that it was fun to mix and match.  And of course, that adorable Polly polar bear DoodlePop with her sneaky grin is just too cute!

For the lower right pocket, I added a cute 3x3 envelope to my insert card.  A few more Sunshine alpha stickers, a tag with twine, and a few Frosty Fellow DoodlePops finished up my pocket.  Won't a photo and some journaling look cute tucked into the envelope?

For another interactive piece, I created a "flippie" (my word for cards that flip up) in my upper left pocket on this page.  A pretty doily and some frosty buttons were perfect for the pictures that will go on this page ... after all, my granddaughter IS cute as a button ;) !

Isn't that line of colorful mini heart sprinkles pretty??  It just makes me so happy!

Finally, for this page I created a title for the top pocket using more of the Sunshine alpha stickers and a border strip from a sheet of Winter Wonderland paper.  

Thanks so much for letting me share a few of my pages with you!  Having basic Doodlebug supplies like petite prints, alpha stickers, sprinkles and twine on hand, always makes creating with any collection just that much more fun!  I hope you are having a wonderful, crafty start to the new year!!

HOPPY EASTER | Easter Planner Pages with Anabelle

Easter is coming and my Lots O' Dots Daily Doodle is ready. As you have seen in my last couple of posts, I really love designing my own inserts using the blank inserts. This Easter Week one was especially fun to create since I got to use the adorable Hoppy Easter collection. Here is a look at how it turned out:


To start off, I decided I wanted to use doilies. I love how they add texture and design to the page. I cut a pink one in half. I adhered it to the page and added some washi as a border. I love how it gives the spread some definition!


I added the Abigail stickers for the days of the week and used some Fancy Frills borders to define the sections for each day. Then I started decorating. I love the sweet bunnies and wanted to incorporate them, along with the egg hunt theme on this spread.


I decided to use the flower die cuts and added some sequins to their centers. I love how it gives the spread a bit of sparkle. After that, I created this book mark using the twine. I love how the colors coordinate so perfectly.
Another accessory for this week's spread is the clips I made using the Flower Friends Mini Pops. They are just so cute! I adhered them to a paperclip using hot glue. I love how this set turned out.


Seriously, look at those adorable faces!  I decided to add them to the side of my TN so they could be highlighted every time I open it up.


So, that's how my Easter week spread came together. I hope you like it! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Petite Prints Apple Treat Box | with Brigit

The new petite prints floral-graph and dot-stripe work perfectly for those projects that you want a little more than just a solid color. The petite prints are one of my favorite paper patterns to use and I'm so happy Doodlebug has come out with more patterns!

One of my favorites is the floral-graph, I used the pretty ladybug floral for this apple box from SVGCuts Miss Baker's Classroom collection. I just love this two-toned floral pattern! The base of the apple was cut out using ladybug textured cardstock. For the leaf, I used the citrus dot-stripe layered on grasshopper textured cardstock.

To decorate the box I used some items from the Down on the Farm collection; this and that stickers, odds and ends, chit chat, farm assortment sprinkles and farm friends sprinkles. I scrunched up a lily white mini doily in the center and glued the embellishments to it and glued just the top part to the top of the apple box so it can be opened without a problem. I finished off the apple with some limeade chunky twine.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

DOILIES: Card Set by Wendy Sue Anderson

Hello Doodlebug Friends!  It's Wendy Sue here with you today - and it's my turn to share some of my latest  projects created with Doodlebug Doilies!  I love using the colorful doilies (in BOTH sizes) on layouts, gift packages, and especially cards.  I created this card set using one of my all-time favorite collections, "Day to Day."

After creating two card bases from white cardstock, I layered on several different patterned papers from this collection.  Then I chose two coordinating doilies to add on top of the papers.  One of my FAVORITE things about Doodlebug products is how they all coordinate.  From the very first collections they created, to the latest papers rolling off the press, the colors are consistent...which means the embellishments can be mixed an matched and used with all of the collections!

For this card set, I chose to use swimming pool paper doilies and bon bon mini doilies.

After layering the doilies, I added some stickers, pixies, and sprinkles.

To finish things off, I tied bon bon doodle twine around the pixie sticks.

Now it's your turn - choose some of the new doilies and pull out one of your favorite doodlebug collections - old OR new - and get to work!  I can't see what YOU come up with - be sure to link your projects in the comment section below!

DOILIES: Ice Cream and Ruffles by Vicki Boutin

Hey there!  It's Vicki here with a little more Doily fun!  I am in love with the new Mini Doilies.  So many colors, so many possibilities!!!  And anything "mini" is especially sweet, right!?

 

How about a doily ice cream cone?  These little guys are perfect for "two scoops"!  I had this fun photo of my daughter eating her favourite treat and I immediately wanted to make a little paper piecing.

The addition of Sprinkles make for the perfect "sprinkles" on the cone and the sunglasses sticker adds a little "cool".  I added a stack of doilies (2-3 doilies) to make the "scoops" a little more substantial.

A fun way to add interest to a paper piecing is with tone on tone texture.  I just cut a few wonky strips and added them to the cone.

The title is made up of Skinny Stickers.  I love these!  They are the perfect height for title work and the thin width allows you to fit a lot of "word" in a tight space.

My fellow design team members have been creating so many fabulous projects with doilies and it seems Melinda and I were on a similar creative wave length.  I also added some layered the doilies.  It is a super fun and textural approach.  I created a little border using this application.  I think it gives the appearance of lace.

One more look.  These little guys are so pretty and versatile.  I hope you have been taking note of all of the ideas shared here on the blog and you get a chance to come up with a few of your own!!

DOILIES: Mini Doily Layout by Melinda Spinks

doi•ly

 (ˈdɔɪ li) 

n., pl. -lies.

1. any small, ornamental mat, esp. one of embroidery or lace used on or under a plate.

2. Archaic. a small, dainty napkin used under a cake.

Sometimes, doyley.

Doilies bring back so many childhood memories of my Nanna and her delicate china plates complete with lace doily and a beautiful spongecake covered in cream and fresh strawberries. However, the humble doily went out of fashion for quite some time and now it has made a welcome comeback. I wonder what my Nanna would have thought of all the gorgeous colours available in the Doodlebug collection?

I love these photos as they show just how silly my kids can be when they fool around in my craft room... fortunately (this time) there was very little mess and only a two stickers were claimed as casualties!

I had a wild plan to completely cover my layout in doilies but for the life of me I couldn't work out how I wanted to achieve the effect so it was a bit of trial and error. Eventually I decided on the layered approach.

Firstly I had to work up the courage to actually take a pair of scissors to my doilies and cut them in half.

Using a ruler as a guide to keep things straight I laid each row down starting from the bottom row and working my way up. I simply ran a line of double sided adhesive across the cardstock to adhere the doilies.

After staring at my page for quite some time I decided that I didn't like the look of the completely covered background so I cut a large circle from a second piece of card and adhered it over the top. I was really thrilled with the result and all that was left to do was decorate.

I hope you have been enjoying the past two weeks of doily inspired projects and hope you will come back next week for our final week of design team inspiration.
