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 SUCCULENTS | with Karen

The last time I was crafting with the adorable "My Happy Place" collection, I was slightly obsessed with the adorable plant stamps in the Garden Girl set. In fact, I was so obsessed that I decided I really wanted some plants for my happy place - my crafting corner. So I grabbed the collection, picked up a couple of cut files from the Lori Whitlock store and got crafty!

Voila - the perfect cut plants that don't even need water to stay smiling! I used the 12x12 patterned paper from the collection for the pots and some of Doodlebug's amazing textured cardstock for the plants. To create their little faces, I simply used some of the black Sprinkles from the "In the Garden" Shape Sprinkles for eyes, some pink Sprinkles for the cheeks and then drew on the mouth. I topped of the cactus with two flowers layered together from the Bits and Pieces pack.

Yup, this little ray of sunshine can smile at me all day. But here's the fun thing - if you are looking for something a little less cute and a little more sophisticated (don't worry, I won't tell this cutie)...

The Shape Sprinkles make the perfect embellishment instead! I went for a monochromatic look, simply choosing the sprinkle shapes that coordinated. And if you are like me and can't decide which style works best, do one style on one side of the pot and one on the other side like I did!

I can't wait to put together my new My Happy Place Shadow Box insert to go with this little trio! I think I know what I might be working on this week! Thanks for stopping by! Hugs,
