TINSEL TIME SHAKER GIFT TAGS | with Kathy

We are officially down to the wire!  It's time to get all of those Christmas gifts wrapped and put under the tree!  I decided to add some fun Tinsel Time Shaker Tags to some of my gifts this year... take a peek...

I started with some Tag Dies from my stash.  I cut them from some Tinsel Time Coordinating Textured Cardstock.  I lined the bottom tag piece (without the window)  with some fun papers from the 6x6 pad.  I love the smaller prints, they work perfectly for projects like this.  I covered the open window of the tags with some Heavyweight Acetate.  I added some double sided 1/8"foam tape to outline the window, filled it with some fun shakers then attached the top tag to the bottom!  All that was left was to decorate which was easy with all the fun Puffy Stickers, Shaped Sprinkles, mini Jewels, Icon Stickers, Odds & Ends and Bits & Pieces!  Here are some close-ups...

On the "B" side of the Happy Holly Days 6x6 paper are word strips that are great for cards & tags.  I used them for sentiments on my tags.  I also added some fun Glitter Sprinkles from the Christmas Assortment to some of the ornaments.

In addition to Doodlebug Shaker balls, I also used the Happy Holidays and Jolly Holly Shakers.  I also added some shaped sprinkles from the Christmas Candy Shaped Sprinkles.

To top my tags I stapled some grosgrain ribbon using my tiny attacher stapler.  They are all set to be added to my gifts!

Here's a little video of my tags.... it's always more fun to see things in motion!

I hope that everyone has a wonderful, safe & healthy Holiday season.  I'll be back in the new year with some more Doodlebug projects!  Thanks for stopping by to peek.

FARMHOUSE FALL TAGS | with Niella

And just like that crafty crew it's Fall! Such a beautiful time of year to regroup, reflect and appreciate how far we've come this year! As the days become shorter and the weather starts to cool right down, there is nothing better than to get all snug and settle in for some Autumn crafting. For my first Farmhouse project I've made some adorable tags for all your Thanksgiving treats. Bring on hot soups, baking, pumpkin pie and stuffing! Bonus video at the end! Yay :-)

Each sweet tag is 5x3" and are decorated with such cute characters + has a blank back for your sentiments and a punched hole ready for stringing! You can even tuck one in your album or in a book as a mark spot! Adorbs!

Start by laying down each foundation piece. I've used matching Textured Cardstock from the collection which makes everything come together so easily. Finish off by stitching lines on your sewing machine, embroidery floss or even drawing lines for faux stitching :-)

The Farmhouse 12 x12 papers I've used are (top left to right) Fall Bouquet, Autumn Orchard. And the bottom row (left to right) is Farmhouse and Fall Floral. I could not choose a favorite paper as well! They are all so cute!

How darling are the faces on the scarecrow and woodland creatures! And the cutest buzzy bees and that Turkey! So sweet. The Odds & Ends ephemera always is so fun to go through. You're never short of options!

And the best part of making any project is the decorating! I love using as many pieces as possible for these tags! You are spoilt for choice when it comes to using Doodlebug products. From the Bits + Pieces to the Chit Chat ephemera packs and the Doodle Twine finishes these tags off so nicely!

Thank you crafty friends for visiting today! I hope I gave you a crafty hit of inspiration! Don't forget to tag us in on your socials - we're looking forward to seeing your next Doodlebug Design project! Until next time; doodle doo!

BUNNY HOP SHAKER EASTER TAGS | with Conny

Hey there, crafty friends! You're in for a treat today as I show you how to make these lovely shaker tags using the Bunny Hop Collection and the Bunnies and Chicks Shakers!

I started by cutting out four tags measuring 3"X5" each from the 6"X6" paper pad and also cut out some acetate. After that, I used my sewing machine to stitch them together, but left the top open so that I could add the Bunnies & Chicks and Spring Flowers Shakers inside. It was such a fun and creative way to add a little extra charm! Once the tags were filled, I stitched them closed.

At the bottom of the tags, I added a cute pom pom trim and ribbon to give them a little extra flair. These tags are perfect for adding a little bit of something extra to your springtime crafts, such as handmade cards, journals, or even gift tags.

I used the lovely bunnies from the Bunny & Friends Doodlecutsfor my project. I decorated two bunnies with Mini Icons, Doodle Pops, and Mini Jewels. I also added flowers, eggs, and chickies behind the bunnies to create a cluster and used foam adhesive for dimension. To finish them off, I added a bow at the top with tulle. I'm excited to see your tags using the sprinkles and the Bunny Hop Collection."

XO, Conny!

SNOW MUCH FUN TAGS | with Niella

Hi crafty crew, hope you're warm and snug in your part of the woods! Grab a cozy beverage and let's take a look at my Doodlebug project today which is one of my favorites... tags! I've been having Snow Much Fun with this perfectly named collection - love these colors of blues, greens, purples and greys! Not to mention the sweetest Yeti and his wintery friends.

I always start by flipping through the papers and choosing which papers I'll use for the foundation pieces (never easy as I want to use ALL the patterns!) Then I decide which paper will be the main part of tag...there is always so much fantastic choice!

After I've stitched on the band pieces, I punch holes and adhere a hole reinforcer. This provides the extra security on the tag for where I thread the doodle twine - another fave! You can use the 12x12' papers, but I love using the 6x6 paper pad because the patterns are perfect scale for tags and the like. Super cute!

Next, is my favorite part - decorating!

If you zoom in and look closely, you'll see a loaded tag! In this tag, I've slipped in some tiny tag cut-aparts from the 6x6 paper pad, so dainty and perfect to gift! I also like to be prepared by having a good stash to use or add in a journal or on a scrapbook page! Limitless uses crafty crew!

I love using pop and foam dots to give that dimension and to provide extra texture. Once completed I go over each and add the extra cuteness like sprinkles, ephemera, doodle twine, stickers and well...everything! Heehee :-)

The fun to be had in this collection is amazing - everything goes together so exceptionally well - perfect for all your winter crafting! Thank you so much for visiting today; I hope you've had a crafty hit for today! Don't forget to tag us in on your socials - we're looking forward to seeing your next Doodlebug Design project! Until next time; doodle dee!

GINGERBREAD KISSES SHAKER TAGS | with Conny

Happy Holidays!

 

Hey there! This is Conny from The Daily Life of Creativity and I wanted to share with you some really cute tags I made using the Gingerbread Kisses Collection. With the holiday just around the corner, it's the perfect time to add a special touch to your gifts or baked goods. These tags can really add that extra bit of personalization. I personally love making shaker tags!

To get started, you can create tags in any size or shape that you like, depending on how you plan to use them.  For this example, I used a 3 x 5 metal die, but you can use any shape you like, this one example would work great. You can add a shaker in the front and place a special note in the back pocket. It's a really fun and unique way to finish off a gift!

First, start by picking out the papers that you want to use for the shakers. I suggest using the Sugar Sprinkles heavy acetate for this purpose. You can also add cute sequins or create your paper sequins using a punch hole. This way, you can quickly match the collection and add some sparkle to your shakers.

If you want to add some extra cheer to your holiday gifts, I suggest using tulle, Sweet Santa Little Charmers, mini icons, and chit chat die cut pieces to decorate your tags. This collection is perfect for crafting unique and adorable tags that will put a smile on anyone's face. Let's get creative together and make some beautiful tags!

Thank you for reading, We can't wait to see what you create using the Gingerbread Kisses.

SWEET & SPOOKY HALLOWEEN TAGS | with Niella

Howl are you crafty ghoulfriends! Heehee! We're counting down to October 31st... Sweet & Spooky style! Thank you for popping in to see what we've been up to with this darling collection! For my latest project I had to create some fun TAGS! They are one of my fave projects to make, they remind me of little works of art to give away, to build in your gift giving stash or use on any projects you like!

From the 6x6" paper pad, I have created 7 tags! Each tag measures 2.5" x 4" with a wee corner snipped off on each top corner. Then I went about stitching on contrasting sections of patterned paper over the centre areas; this helps the ephemera to "pop" and standout more. Everything goes together, so no matter what products you choose; it all looks so cute!

In this collection, I'm loving the mixed alpha fonts! How cute is this Spooky word which I've used Abigail, My Type, Alphabet Soup and Skinny. I've mixed these alpha stickers to match the cuteness of the words on the ephemera and washi tape too!

Click each picture and zoom in to see the tiny details! Can you spot the mixed alpha word eeeeeek? Or the wrapped candy embellishments made from the Treat Yourself Doodle Cuts dies? Or how about the fussy cut lollipops and trims from the cute 6x6" paper pad! And how about that fun mini paper chain decoration for the win!

Let the good times roll with your next crafty project using this super cute Halloween collection; there is so much fun to be had with it. Remember to tag us in your Doodlebug Design projects - we love seeing what you've created! Have a great day my ghoul friends, we'll catch you hex time ;-) lol. Doodle boo!
