MY HAPPY PLACE 3D HOUSE BOX | with Kathy

Every time I pull out the My Happy Place Collection, I'm inspired to create !  This week, I combined the fun papers and stickers with the collection with one of the SVG files from the collection to make this fun little house box.  I thought it would be fun to use to package a housewarming gift for a friend.  Take a peek...

For the base of my box, I used a Lori Whitlock File from her Christmas Village Class.  I resized and edited the file to remove the windows and added the windows, trim and door from the My Happy Place House - 7 SVG File.

I created an insert "bottom" to slide inside the house to hold a gift.  Now for the fun part... I decorated my house with some stickers from the collection...

I added stickers from the Icon and Mini Icons sheets.  I love those plants!  To embellish the sides, I added some of the trees and fences from the Icons sheet.

I wish I could live in such a sweet house!  Have you created any projects using the My Happy Place collection or SVG files?  Be sure to tag Doodlebug Design on Facebook and Instagram.  We love to see your creations!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek.

MY HAPPY PLACE SUCCULENT BOX CARDS | with Kathy

I'm in love with so many icons in the My Happy Place Collection.  Some of my most favorites are the adorable little succulent plants.  They just make me happy!  I decided to turn a couple of them into 3D Box cards.  Take a peek...

I started with the My Happy Place Pot of Succulents SVG from the Lori Whitlock SVG shop.  I thought they would be so cute as cards!  For my first card I used the Love This and Enjoy the Ride papers for my pot.  I pieced together my plant from the Love Grows Here paper and a Petite print from the coordinating petite prints pack.

To complete the card, I added the sweet little birdie from the Home Tweet Home Doodlepop and the Hello speech bubble from the Chit Chat pieces.  I just LOVE that cute bird!

For my next card I used the Cozy Spot cardstock for my pot.  I love the pops of black in this collection, it really makes the other colors shine even brighter!  For my cactus I combined the Enjoy the Ride paper with the Mint to Be paper... again.. the pops of black are fabulous!  I cut the hearts from some papers from the 6x6 pad and a coordinating Petite print.

To finish the card I added the Happy Birthday Banner from the Chit Chat pack and some of the flowers from the Flower Garden Doodle Pop... I know it's a miracle, I actually used 2 Doodlepops!!

These cards are now ready to be mailed off!  Have you created any projects with the My Happy Place Collection or cut files?  Be sure to tag Doodlebug Design on Facebook and Instagram... we love to see what you create!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

MY HAPPY PLACE BIRTHDAY CARD | with Kathy

The new My Happy Place Collection is so much fun!  The colors, the icons.... and the cut files!  If you know me, you know I love Doodlebug's cut files, and When I saw the Bird in Cage file I immediately had an idea for a fun box card.  Take a peek.... 

I turned the flat birdcage into a 3D shape, where the little birdie hangs down!  In addition to using some papers from the collection, I also added some of the flowers from the Bits & Pieces pack.  These flowers are perfect to embellish just about anything!  I also used the perfectly punny sentiment from the Chit Chat pack.

To make the cage stand up, I added 2 thin strips of cardstock, folded into a box shape to the top and bottom of the cage pieces, then I layered the back piece of the cage so they were centered. To attach the bird, I glued a strip the same thickness as the top and bottom boxes and about 1" wider than the folded box.  I scored glued the bird and his perch to the center, then folded back about 1/2" on each side of the strip and glued the folded sections to the side of the box on the top.  This way he hangs freely.

Since the top and bottom "box strips" are centered and the same size, the card can fold flat for mailing.  I thought this would also make a darling anniversary or wedding card.  You could create another birdie, mirror image and add it to the perch with his friend!
