FARMERS MARKET VEGGIE GARDEN PILLOW BOXES | with Karen

Every morning, my four-legged furry beast wakes me up with the sun for our 5:30am "walkies". But a funny thing happened this last week - it was clearly noticeable that morning walks have gotten darker and chillier. Fall is knocking on the door and answering the knock means the start of canning season, apricot and plum dumpling season, and all things spicy and comforting. And I am here for it!

Featuring the AMAZING Farmers Market collection for my post this week was the perfect way to kick off my seasonal celebrations! This collection captures everything that is wonderful about the Fall, in all the amazing Doodlebug colours we have come to expect. Bright, rich and spicy is everything I love about the season, and it's all wrapped up in this collection.

I decided to have some fun and play with the Veggie Garden Odds & Ends pack to decorate up some pillow boxes made as thank-you gifts.

The start of my summer was met with a huge hail storm that wiped out my garden, so "harvesting" these cuties for the pillow boxes made up for missing out on this fun fall task! And I do have to say that sorting through the die cut characters to "harvest" the ones I wanted was the perfect way to heal a broken gardening heart! I simple layered them on top of each other to create some little scenes that were unique to each box.

I filled each with some cute mini fruit-flavoured candies, but the great thing about a project like this is that it can hold anything - a gift card, little piece of jewelry - whatever works for you!

With the addition of a little sentiment I printed out, these are all set to go! So if you are all ready for the Fall, grab this amazing collection and get started. And if not, grab it anyway - because like it or not, fall is knocking! Thanks for stopping by! Hugs,

DOWN ON THE FARM GIFT SET | with Wanda

Did you know that we continually stock our 'All Occasion' collections until we replace them with a new version? So, if you have a favourite non-holiday themed collection that you would love to top up your products, you can! Simply mention it to your local scrapbook store or your on-line store and they can order what you are after. And just to refresh your memory on how adorable our 'All Occasion' collections are, we thought we'd have our design team create with one of our most popular ever... Down On The Farm.

Howdy, y'all! Wanda here on the blog with a fun card and gift box made with the super cute Down on the Farm Collection! Yee Haw! This collection is adorable and has so many elements to pick and choose for multiple themes. I have a few friends who love horses so I chose to use a 'horsey' theme for my card and gift box today. It truly makes me smile.

My finished card is an A2 card made from white cardstock. I layered pretty gingham paper and floral paper as my base. I cut out a pocket from one of the 12x12 papers and it was the perfect size for the front of a card. The pillow box can hold candies or money or a gift card. I made that using a punch board.

For the card, I attached the pocket using foam tape around the edges. I tucked in a little paper bandana! I also glued some flowers from the Odds & Ends pack to the inside of the pocket. I tucked in a coffee card too!

For the gift box, I made it from that pretty blue patterned paper and wrapped it with a strip of bandana paper. I used one of the Jelly Clips to embellish the front of the box and to match back to the card.

 See how easily the gift card pops into the pocket?! 

I put on that adorable Giddy Up Doodle Pop and then the word bubble that says "howdy!" This could be a birthday card, grad card, or any time card!

 

 Here's a close up of the bandana and the flowers, and my paper layers!

That's it for me this time! I hope you're having a wonderful Spring and I hope I've inspired you to make something! I'll see you soon, and until then, keep on crafting!

MADE WITH LOVE BIRTHDAY GIFT SET | with Wanda

Today I'm sharing a sweet birthday suite! A card, envelope and pillow box gift card holder that all match perfectly! The "Made With Love" collection is a great choice for birthday cards. And I always love using cupcakes as a theme for birthdays. Everyone loves cupcakes! These new Doodle Cuts are so fun and fabulous! 

 Here's a close up of the paper layers on the gift card holder. I made the gift card holder using the gorgeous gingham paper from the "Made With Love" collection and then decorated it with yummy papers and a sweet stamped birthday greeting. I die cut the cupcake parts from the papers in the collection and stamped the sentiment with the You Bake Me Happy Stamp Set!

 The birthday card is a tri-fold card with a belly band made from papers and stickers. And one sweet little cupcake on top!! 

 The pillow box opens up to place a gift card inside and some paper confetti too. Very festive!

 You can slide the belly band off the card to reveal the inside - again stamped with that awesome You Bake Me Happy stamp set in pretty pink ink.

 I used more papers from the collection to line a matching pink envelope. I love how the card and the envelope go together so nicely. This is a great way to have your projects pop and look professional. It also shows some extra love by decorating the envelope!

 I used stickers and Sprinkles to jazz up the outside of the envelope too - of course!

 This project will work with any of your favorite Doodlebug Collections!! Great for Christmas, Mother's Day, Easter...any occasion. Just change up the main image (maybe change the cupcake to a gingerbread man...) No end to the fun possibilities!

Thanks for stopping by the Doodlebug Blog today! Hope your day is filled with creativity and smiles.

I ❤️TRAVEL STAMPED PILLOW BOX | with Karen

One of my favourite things to do with a paper collection is to try to figure out all the different ways that I can use them. The new "I ❤️Travel" collection from Doodlebug is no exception. And while there is no doubt that I will be using this collection to scrap all the images I have from the road trip we took at the beginning of July, I decided to have my first project showcase the versatility of this theme as well! So out came the new Doodle Stamps and my trusty stamp pad. There are two darling sets for this collection - I ❤️ Travel and Let's Getaway, both with coordinating die cuts. This fantastic cruise ship stamp can be found in the Let's Getaway set and it was the perfect image for a little pillow box! Filled with delicious little mints that will remain nameless (sort of), it's cute way to say thank-you in a way that is just a little bit unexpected!

So even if you don't have the travel bug, think of all the "farewell", "thank-you" or "new journey" projects you could create with this great new collection. It really is as cute as they come (or go!!).

Thanks for stopping by!
