SO MUCH PUN! SUPER SWEET LAYOUT | with Tegan

I am having so much fun creating rainbow background designs on my layouts lately! The Doodlebug Designs Petite Prints patterned papers come in so many colors, creating a rainbow effect with them is super easy! I also used the So Much Pun collection because all of the adorable food icons are perfect for documenting the snacks my husband and I enjoyed at the county fair last year!

​I started by creating a circular background design in my diecut machine software and then used white cardstock to cut it out. I then used a fun assortment of Dot-Stripe Petite Prints patterned papers to back the white cardstock diagonally from the top left corner to the bottom right corner. Can you name the 5 Doodlebug colors I used? I started with Citrus, then used Bumblebee, then Ladybug, then Bubblegum, and then finished with Pistachio. 
​I embellished the top left corner by adding coordinating green embellishments. I used Mini Icon stickers, Odds & Ends die cuts, and word stickers from the 12x12 This & That Sticker Sheet. And isn't that sloth Doodlepop just the cutest?! I love the extra dimension it adds to the page! 
​I finished the rest of the layout by adding a rainbow of color coordinated embellishments! The Doodlebug embellishments come in a big variety of colors, so finding matching stickers and such was a breeze! Along with the stickers and Odds & Ends pieces, I also added the adorable Jelly Clip cupcake.  And again, how fun is that gumball machine Doodlepop?!?

Thank you for joining me today! I hope I have inspired you to document your next food adventure using the Petite Prints Papers and the So Much Pun collection!

3D SECRET DIORAMA CUP CARD| with Shellye

Celebrate any little guy's birthday with this Rawr-some Card... and it's not just any card, it's a 3D diorama-style Cup Card!  

To get started  I've used a paper to-go coffee cup with plastic lid.  I found this package of cups at my local dollar store for just a couple of dollars.

I used a craft knife to separate the bottom of the cup, as well as cutting the top portion of the cup in half as shown above.  The cup comes with the kraft wrapper, which I used as well.

The lid was covered with a disk of patterned paper and then trimmed with chunky twine.  The Jelly Clip fits perfectly inside of the little spout!

The bottom of the cup was covered with green gingham paper and then a strip of the same paper was die-cut with a grass die.  If you don't have a grass die: cut a strip of paper that measures 5"W X 1.5"H and cut away small strips to resemble blades of grass. The grass strip is then wrapped around the bottom of the cup and curled a bit at the ends.

To decorate the outside and inside of the cup, I used the flattened cup as a template and traced onto two different patterns of paper and cut out.  After attaching the papers , I glued on a trim of chunky twine to give a finished look.

Different dinosaur die-cuts were attached to pieces of paper straw.  The ends of the straws were clipped into three sections to create a "foot" and then glued to the bottom of the cup.

The front of the kraft band was embellished with a sentiment and small dino sticker.

After the card cup is opened, it can be displayed by stacking the cup into the kraft band and then onto the lid.  Such a sweet little keepsake for your RAWR-SOME little one!

Thank you for joining us today!

FAR OUT BABY SHOWER GIFT | with Kathy

My friend's daughter is expecting her first child... a little boy!  We are all so excited for them!  When I received the shower invitation and saw that the theme was outer space, I knew I had to use the new So Much Pun - Far Out Stamps to make her something!  I decide to make her a first year mini album, and a little box card featuring some cut files from the So Much Pun Collection.

I started with the So Much Pun Space Ship File which is available in SVG in the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop as well as in the Silhouette Store.  I worked with the flat file and transformed it into a box card.

I love this little alien!! I added a piece of transparency to the bubble part of the card to make it more sturdy.  I then added the little star and a speech bubble sentiment.  The card folds flat to fit in an envelope.

For the Album, I started by stamping all of the images from the So Much Pun Far Out Set a few times.  I heat embossed the images, colored them using my Copic Markers and cut them out using the coordinating dies.   For the cover, I created a little space scene with some of these images.

Each page of the album is actually an envelope.  You can slide a photo into the top, making it look similar to an instant photo.  I added some stamped images to each of the pages.

On the back of each album page is a note card to record the baby's monthly statistics.  I created a page for the birth picture, then one for each of the first 12 months.  Here are some close-ups.  I used some coordinating Teensy Type Stickers to add the months.

The Far Out Stamps were really perfect for this project!

I created a Silhouette Cut file for the pages of the album.  You can access it for free on my blog here.  That's it for me today, thank you for stopping by to peek!

FATHER'S DAY GIFT CARD HOLDER AND CHOCOLATE WRAPPERS | with Karen

When I first discovered Doodlebug products, I was smitten. As a mom of two little girls, the cute products and bright colours were everything I was looking for to make adorable projects for my girls. But it wasn't long before I discovered ways that Doodlebug products were perfect for the men in my life too! With Father's Day around the corner, and given that both my husband and brother celebrate birthdays this month, this couldn't be a better time to show you what I mean! Case in point - these two chocolate bar wrappers that happen to also hold a gift card! Both of these were created for Father's Day, each with a bit of a different theme. It's a simple sleeve created with textured cardstock in grasshopper and dolphin, with a little 2" wrapper featuring the So Much Pun collection to hold everything together.  

For the first theme, I decided to use the Far Out Doodle Stamps for the embellishment. Coloured up with alcohol markers, I used a sentiment that works for Father's day, birthdays or any other occasion and embellished with a few glitter Sprinkles and my favourite mini paper clips! And while it is clear that the Far Out Doodle Stamps are a perfect fit for all projects masculine, you might be surprised to find others that work in sets that appear feminine at first. This adorable truck is from the Flower Girl Doodle Stamps, but paired with some masculine colours and patterned paper, it's a perfect fit for the car lover or gardener in your life! Well, I've got a few more projects to make for the men in my life this month, so I better get back to the crafty table! Good thing I have some Doodlebug product to save the day! Thanks for stopping by!

GET WELL STAMPED CARDS | with Barbara

Hello, Barbara back today with more cards using the So Much Pun Collection along with Pill Better Doodle Stamps and Doodle Cuts.

I really do love these punny stamps and had so much fun playing with them! For my first card, I stamped the band-aid image three times and colored them in fun colors then used them to “heal” a paper tear :) Two sentiments were heat embossed on speech bubbles with appropriate emojis stamped on the corresponding bandage. The center one has a heart for some warm fuzzies. I used Dot-Stripe Rainbow Petite Prints and  Floral-graph Rainbow Petite Prints for the background.

For my second card I masked a bunch of the pill bottles, added the sentiment, and grounded them all with Copic marker coloring. Once bottle became the highlight and was stamped, cut out with Doodle Cuts, colored with Copic markers, and popped up on foam mounting tape. I added some paper from the So Much Pun 6 x 6 paper pad, Some Ladybug Doodle Twine, and several Sprinkles to dress it up.

My third card is clean and simple with a patterned paper-covered base, an image, and a sentiment. I made it special by paper piecing the tissue box, cutting a slit with my craft knife and inserting a piece of real facial tissue through the slit. I added some grounding with Copic markers and an aqua sponged background.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope I’ve provided you with some ideas for your Pill Better Doodle Stamps and Doodle Cuts and So Much Pun Collection!

PLANNING WITH SO MUCH PUN | with Anabelle

It is so much fun revisiting the So Much Pun collection in my Daily Doodle this month. I loved this collection from the moment I saw it and still reach for it when I want something whimsical. My favorite part of this line is the fact that there are so many themes within in. Today, I created two spreads for my Traveler's Notebook. They are each so different, yet all of the items are from So Much Pun! Here is the first spread. I used the candy and sweets elements to design my May calendar. How yummy is this???

I used several of the stickers from the Mini Icons sheet, along with stickers from the This and That sticker sheet. The candy washi is one of my favorites. I love the coordinating papers, too. I used papers from the 6 by 6 pad and added them to the page, as well. The striped paper made a perfect border. I tucked some of the die cuts into my front pockets. They add a really sweet touch to my planner.

My next spread is one that I designed so that I can write notes for work. I have a large teacher planner to do my daily plans, but like to keep my Daily Doodle close by to jot down my to do lists as I think of them.

The grid pages are perfect to do this. As you can see, this spread has a completely different look. I pulled the sweet plants and went with a pink and green theme here. The Teensy Type stickers were a perfect way to add titles to the sections on this spread. I love how the pink border sticker ties it all together.

My planner spreads wouldn't be complete without clips! So Much Pun has the most adorable Doodle Pops to coordinate with the line. The gumball machine is probably my new favorite clip! And since all of Doodlebug's collections coordinate so well, I was able to use this Doodlepop from the Simply Spring collection. It worked perfectly with the sweet plant stickers from So Much Pun. They are so easy to make. I simply hot glue them to a paper clip and add a punched circle to the back. They add so much to the design.

As you can see, I was able to create two very different designs for my Daily Doodles using just the So Much Pun collection. It's versatile! I know I'll be coming back to it again soon.

PRE-HISTORIC STAMPING | Cards by Barbara

Hello, I’m back on the Doodlebug Design blog again and today I’m using Dino-mite Doodle Stamps and Doodle Cuts along with the So Much Pun Collection.

For my first card I went clean and simple to highlight the adorable dinosaur. I stamped the image on Copic-friendly white card stock with Copic-friendly black ink, cut out with the coordinating Doodle Cuts, and colored it with Copic markers. The sentiment from the set was stamped and I tied around some Ladybug Doodle Twine.
I adhered it on foam tape to a white card stock base that had been covered with patterned paper from So Much Pun 6 x 6 paper pad and finished off with some Bumblebee, Blue Jean, and Limeade Sprinkles.

For my second card I created a little framed scene. I sponged the background with aqua dye ink, added a strip of Cinnamon Textured card stock and some patterned paper from the 6 x 6 paper pad. Next I added the frame, using black card stock and a strip of Green Grass Washi tape fortified with white card stock, both adhered with foam tape.
The images were stamped on Copic-friendly white card stock with Copic-friendly black ink, cut out with the coordinating Doodle Cuts, and colored it with Copic markers, before being adhered in the scene with foam tape. The sentiment was stamped, cut into individual words, and adhered on the frame. I added a sun and some clouds and finished off with some Ladybug, Swimming Pool, and Limeade Sprinkles.

For my final card I created a scene out in the wide open spaces! Again, I sponged the background with aqua dye ink and built the scene using the palm tree patterned paper from the 6 x 6 So Much Pun paper pad to create a hillside. I added more Cinnamon Textured card stock in the foreground and added some Shape Sprinkles palm trees to add some depth

I added clouds and a sun, some tropical leaves, and the sentiment strip from the So Much Pun Chit Chat Collection. So much pun = so much fun!!!

And that’s it from me today! Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope I’ve given you some ideas for using YOUR So Much Pun collection and Dino-mite Doodle Stamps and Doodle Cuts! See you soon!

A RAINBOW OF COLORS | Layout with Tegan

A rainbow of Doodlebug Design colors from Bubblegum pink to Grasshopper green? Yes, please! I easily created this cool rainbow background using the cloud from the Doodlebug Rainbow with Clouds cut file and lots of Dot-Stripe Petite Prints patterned papers. I also used fun elements from the So Much Pun and Simply Spring collections. I love that all of the Doodlebug Design collections mix and match so well! 

​

To add interest to my cloud background, I used the Stone Gray Dot-Stripe Petite Prints patterned paper to cut out a second 'background'. I then adhered this to the backside of my white background (shifted up slightly) to give the clouds a gray bottom. I then placed my cloud background over 1 inch strips of the Petite Prints patterned papers in a rainbow of colors from Bubblegum to Grasshopper! I used So Much Pun Odds & Ends pieces to embellish my photo. I don't know what's more yummy...the ice cream cone in my picture or the rainbow effect background! What do you think?!

​I embellished my second photo with Odds & Ends pieces from the Simply Spring (title words) and the So Much Pun (plants and the sun) collections!  I love adding a couple of the Doodlebug Sprinkles around my page. 
​Thank you for joining me today! I hope I have inspired you to create a Doodlebug Design rainbow effect on your next layout!
