LET IT SNOW GIFT CARD HOLDERS | with Kathy

Hi Everyone!  I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and got to spend at least some time with friends and family!  We had a wonderful time, good food, good friends & family!  Of course there was some last minute crazy gift buying on my part... a few gift cards, which I decided to package up with the ADORABLE Let it Snow Collection.  Take a peek...

My first gift card holder was for my daughter.  Every year, I do a little gift card surprise to her favorite shops.  She's living on her own these days in NYC so it's always good to get some fun money to spend!  I made a slimline Gift Card wallet.  On the front, I used a circles die to cut fun windows and filled them some little scenes using the snowmen stickers from the Icon Sticker Sheet.

When you open the card, I added 4 pockets stacked on top of each other.  Each one holds a gift card.  And of course I had to add the adorable Santa and reindeer!

For my next two gift card holders, I created double slider cards.  I added some cute stamped images from the Arctic Friends Doodle Stamps on my first slider along with some Let it Snow Snowflake Sprinkles. The scallop edge was cut using a die from the All Occasion Borders and Edges Doodle Cuts. 

And when you pull the tab on the bottom, the gift card slides out of the top!  This was for my great niece who has a birthday right after Christmas!  I love how you can use Let it Snow for non-holiday projects!

For my second slider card I used the cute little snowman, tree and present stamps from the Winter Wonderland Doodle Stamps along with more snowflake sprinkles.

Again, pull the tab and the gift card pops out of the top and the sentiment on the bottom!

CUTE & CRAFTY SLIMLINE CARDS | with Kathy

I love making slimline cards.  The different shape and size give you so much more space to be creative!  I haven't made any in a while and thought the Cute & Crafty Collection would be perfect for a few new ones!  Take a peek...

My first card uses the fun flowers from the Bits & pieces pack. I scattered the flowers along a frame, popping them up for a bit of dimension.

For my sentiment, I used the hello in the All Occasion Doodle Cuts.  

For my next card I used some of the fun icons from the Odds & Ends and Icon Stickers.  I added them to a few die cut frames so it looked like they were peeking out.  The sentiment is from the Chit Chat Pieces.

I just love those little Copic Markers!!

For my last card I used some of the adorable little colored pencils from the Odds & Ends and stitched some drawing lines using some embroidery thread.

The top and bottom lines were 'free-style" stitched.  For the hello, I used the negative of the hello cut out from my first card as a template.

Now I have a few "just because" cards on hand... which is always a good thing!  You never know when a friend needs a little hello.  Have you made any projects using Cute & Crafty?  Be sure to tag Doodlebug Design on Facebook & Instagram.  We love to see your creations!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

PUMPKIN SPICE SLIM-LINE CARDS | with Kathy

I'm loving the latest trend in cards... the slim-line card.  If you're not familiar with them, the finished card size is 3-5/8" x 8- 5/8", it's a longer, skinny card.  I love them because you can fit so many goodies on one card!  I made a couple using the new Pumpkin Spice and Forest Friends Doodle Stamps.  Take a peek...

For my first card I used the Forest Friends Doodle Stamps.  These critters are just too cute for words!  I fussy cut the stamped images and added the critters to little frame dies which I popped up with some foam tape for dimension.  Because the card is longer, I was able to fit four critters on the card.  I used a combination of Pumpkin Spice and the Woodgrain side of the Buffalo Check- Woodgrain paper for my papers.  The speech bubble sentiment is from the Pumpkin Spice Chit Chat pieces.  

For my second card I used the Pumpkin Spice Doodle Stamps.  I love that there are different face options in the set... you have 3 options of little smiley faces to add to the base stamps. Again, I fussy cut the stamped images.  I used some paper piecing for the coffee cozies on the takeaway cups, and of course I had to add some little heart sprinkles!  The sentiment was stamped using a stamp from the set on a piece I die-cut using the speech bubble Doodle-cuts die from the You're Sweet Doodle Stamp set.  

I had so much playing with these new stamp sets!  If you've made any cards with Doodlebug's Doodle Stamps, be sure to tag us on Facebook and Instagram!  We always love to see your creations!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek.
