PETITE PRINTS YETI BOX CARD | with Kathy

Doodlebug's Petite Prints... whether it be the new Buffalo Check-Woodgrain, the Dot-Stripe, Floral Graph or Gingham Linen versions are an absolute must have in my craft stash.  I love how they coordinate perfectly with all of Doodlebug's collections and they are the perfect choice when working with Doodlebug's Cut files... which is one of my favorite activities!  I especially love turning Doodlebug's one dimensional cut files into three dimensional projects, like this fun Yeti Box Card... take a peek...

I started with the Winter Wonderland Tram Car SVG File.  I cut 2 of these from the Lilac Buffalo Check - Woodgrain Petite Prints and put them on either side of a box shape I made.  I added some transparency sheets behind the windows to look like glass.    I then decorated the car with stripes of the Bubble Blue, Blue Jean and Swimming Pool versions of the Woodgrain Petite Prints and some Snowflake Shaped Sprinkles from the Winter Wonderland Collection.  

Riding the tram is the adorable Yeti!  I pieced him together using the Winter Wonderland Yeti Skis SVG file and some Dot-Stripe, Floral Graph and Woodgrain Petite Prints.    I love how the Petite Prints Color Palette allow me to make him look exactly like he does on the Icon Sticker Sheet.  I added a little insert into the box and attached him to it so he looks like he's standing there waving to his friends!  To finish the card, I added a sentiment speech bubble from the Winter Wonderland Chit Chat pieces.

Travellers Notebook Scrapbooking | with Kathy

Do you make New Year's Resolutions?  This year my crafty resolution is to get back to more actual scrapbooking!  Over the last couple of years I've moved away from more traditional scrapbooking and more into general paper crafting, and I miss documenting those memories!  I thought that scrapping my favorite photo each week would be a good way to get back into the swing of things, and Doodlebug's Daily Doodles Travel Planners are the perfect platform for this type of scrapping! 

I started by creating a dashboard for my 2019 memories.  I cut a piece of  Floral-Graph Petite Prints in Pistachio to measure 9.75" x 8.5", and then scored the file at 4.5" and again at 5.25" to make the "binding" wide enough to hold 3 of the Daily Doodle Travel Planner Inserts.  I decorated the cover using a couple of Lily White Doodlebug Doilies, papers from the So Punny and Dot-Stripe Petite Prints 6x6 Pads, Chit Chat Pieces from the Hello Collection and some Abigail Stickers in gold.  Once it was decorated, I laminated the whole thing to make it more durable and inserted it along with 3 of the Travel Planner Inserts into my Buffalo Check Travellers Notebook.

Once my dashboard was ready it was time to get started documenting 2019!  

For my first layout, I used the buffalo check paper from the Down on the Farm 6x6 pad, Petite Prints, Stickers and Odds & Ends from the Hello Collection and some Abigail Stickers.  I even pulled out my trusty typewriter to type up some journaling!   I think I'm off to a good start!  Now if I can keep up with doing this weekly, I'll be in good shape!  Are you documenting your memories in a Doodlebug TN??  We'd love to see what you create!  Make sure to tag Doodlebug Design on social media so we can see!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

So Much Pun Cut Files Cards | with Kathy

I was so excited to see the So Much Pun Cut Files!  This has to be one of the cutest, most versatile collections I've ever seen... so many fun icons, it was hard to narrow my selections to just a few for this post!  I did however and here are a few cards I created using this ADORABLE collection!

As you can see I was a little bit all over the place with themes... that's the beauty of this collection, there are SO MANY uses!  My first card used the So Much Pun Stove and Cinnamon Roll files along with some new Dot-Stripe Petite Prints.  I altered the stove a bit so that the oven door opened and inside was a the bun!  I thought this would be so cute for a newly expectant mom!  Here are some close-ups...

For finishing touches I added one of the Chit Chat Pieces for my sentiment and some Cupcake Glitter Sprinkles for the cheeks!

My next card uses the Thyme plant from the So Much Plant 1 cut file and more Dot Stripe and Floral Graph Petite Prints from the 6x6 pads. I added some extra leaves to the plant to give it some dimension and the Thyme to Celebrate sentiment is from the Chit Chat Pieces.  The Happy Birthday sticker is from the Multicolor Happy Birthday Doodles Cardstock Stickers.

My third card is indeed a Christmas themed card.  It went against my normal stance on holiday decorations before their time...but I couldn't resist.  I got the idea from the So Much Pun Double Sided Cardstock which lists out all of the hilarious puns for each of the icons.  Take a peek...

First of all... how stinking cute is that llama cut file??  I used an embossing folder from Sizzix to give him a more fluffy look and added the wreath from the Milk and Cookies Window Wreath cut file.  I created the printed sentiment using one of the Bubble Sayings Bubbles from the Booville Cut Files.  He's put together using more new Petite Prints and the wreath is decorated with some Glitter Sprinkles.  I think he's just fabulous!

We'd love to see your creations using the new So Much Pun Cut Files!  Be sure to tag us on social media so we are sure to see your creations!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

You can purchase the cut files in the Lori Whitlock Store and the Silhouette Store.

Petite Prints Calendar | with Kathy

One of my all time favorite Doodlebug product lines is the Petite Prints! The Gingham Linen Petite Prints have always been a staple in my projects, so when the new Floral-Graph and Dot-Stripe Petite Prints were released, I was ecstatic!   I love using them as backgrounds and especially love them when working with the Doodlebug Cut files!   Each year I love to put together a calendar for my craft room, and no surprise, it is usually made up from Doodlebug goodies!  I got a head start on next year's calendar using the new Petite Prints and a number of Doodlebug cut files... take a peek...

This cute little calendar can sit on my table, and I love how easily it is to flip around and find a date!  Making it was really easy.  I started with 6 pieces of white cardstock each cut to 9.5" x 6".  Each piece was then scored halfway at 4.75".  To the inside of each piece of card stock , I added 2  pieces of Petite Prints that measured 4.25" x 5.5".  To make it into the star shape, I folded the cardstock pieces in half (with the petite prints on the inside) stacked them up, gluing them together to make a book-like form.  I then decorated the front cover with the year.  To make it into the Star, open it up so all of the pages fan out and clip the ends together with a couple of cute clips!

Now for the fun part, decorating each month!  I started with a print and cut calendar file from Lori Whitlock (SVG, Silhouette).  I un-grouped the file and resized it to fit into a 2.625" x 3.75" rectangle.  I then chose a fun Doodlebug Cut file for each month, which were all pieced together using the 6x6 Dot-Stripe Petite Print Pad.  Here are close ups of the pages...

More So Much Pun Cards | with Kathy

There are so many puns in the So Much Pun Collection, it's perfect for a pun-fanatic like me!  The only problem I have is choosing which ones to use next!  I finally narrowed down my selection to make these "punny" cards!

Every time I see the sweet little faces on the pill bottle and pills I laugh.  I decided to add them all along with the tissue box from the Odds & Ends into a doctor bog box card.  Who wouldn't "pill" better looking at these cute faces!  The bag was assembled using some of the new Dot Stripe Petite Prints.

I fell in love with all of the adorable dinosaurs in the Odds & Ends and knew I wanted to use a few of them on a card.  I decided to make a little shadowbox so that I could feature a bunch!  I used the Palm Tree side of the T-Riffic Cardstock and the Kraft Dot-Stripe Petite Prints for the box and then added a few of the dinosaurs to the various layers.  As always, there was the perfectly punny sentiment in the Chit Chat Pieces.

Like the pills, the faces on the pieces of pop corn make me smile!  I made a fun slider card where one of the cute little popcorn pieces pops up out of the popcorn container!  I love the Check side of the Fantas-Taco Cardstock and the Order pad side of the Perfect Combo Cardstock!  I mixed them with the Ladybug and Lily White Floral-Graph Petite Prints to make some fun layers!
