TINSEL TIME COOKIES FOR SANTA | with Miguel

Merry Christmas!  It's incredible to see how time flies, I can hardly believe that this is the last project of 2024 and obviously it had to be very special! I made  this project for Santa Claus with a lot of love!

I tell you, I wanted to surprise Santa in a very special way! Leaving him the traditional cookies, so I made a box with the cardboard technique and the Tinsel Time collection and the result is adorable!

I placed many cookies for Santa inside the box and decorated the outside with the odds & ends and I love how they look!

I decorated the lid with Odds & Ends and Chit Chat pieces and of course I added sprinkles to give that shine that I love so much!

And what is a gift without a beautiful bow! I placed it on the lid with a December 25th tag, which of course is when we all wait for the arrival of our dear Santa! 

I take this opportunity to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2025. Sincerely, your friend,

FARMHOUSE NOTEBOOK & BOX | with Miguel

I really enjoyed working with the beautiful Farmhouse collection especially since I love autumn colors. Today I created this mini box similar to one I made before, but this time with a big surprise inside

I decorated the box with lots of embellishments from the collection including the Turkey Doodle Pop, which is just the cutest thing in the world. I also added some Chit Chats and Odds & Ends to help make my fun scene!

Inside I added a notebook that I decorated with papers from  collection.  I designed my cover in quadrants to give a fun effect!

On the spiral I added the pumpkin little charmer to give a special touch to my notebook.

Thank you for stopping by today, until next time!

FARMERS MARKET AUTUMN BOXES | with Miguel

Autumn is already very close so today I created these beautiful basket-shaped boxes to give sweets or whatever you like, they are decorated with the Doodlebug Farmers Market collection.

What I like most when decorating was using these beautiful vegetables Puffy Icons!  See how cute they look in the center of the boxes!

I placed some eyelets on the sides for the basket handle so it would have movement to open the box.

I hope, as always, my work inspires you to continue creating with the beautiful Doodlebug products. See you soon!

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,

BUNNY HOP EASTER HOUSE | with Miguel

I love giving new life to wooden pieces and this time I used the beautiful Bunny Hop Collection to decorate this darling little house.

I started by painting with white paint and then I covered it with the papers from the collection.  I embellished with the Bits & Pieces  and Odds & Ends since they are perfect for creating cute scenes, below I will show you.

For the front of my piece I decided to use the Bunny & Friends Doodle Cuts, which are the most beautiful thing in the world haha. I cut several layers of foam and cardstock, then spliced and lined all around. This technique allows me to give the pieces a 3D effect,

This piece is perfect for decorating your home this Easter season, 

I say goodbye as always hoping that my work inspires you to continue creating!

BUNNY HOP CARROT HOUSE BOX | with Jen

Easter is on it's way and with it I have a fun off the page project for you! I used one of the Bunny Hop Carrot House SVG's available in the Lori Whitlock shop to make a fun shaped box.

The overall project measures about 7 1/2" wide and 8" high. The box is 4" x 7". I used my Cricut to cut all my pieces for the carrot house. I used a mix of solid Doodlebug cardstock and Petite Prints.

Instead of cutting the flowers that are part of the file I used the Hello Spring Shape Sprinkles in the little window boxes. I popped some of them up for added dimension. I added some pieces from the Chit Chat pack for decoration. I also used one of the border stickers from the This and That sticker sheet.

I finished it off with Tangerine Chunky Twine to cover the raw edges of the chipboard and give it a more finished look.

The tutorial of how I size and prepare the file to do an off the page project, along with the assembly tutorial, can be found here.  Have a great day!

BUNNY HOP EASTER TREAT BOXES | with Karen

Here comes Peter Cottontail, Bunny Hop-ping right onto my crafty table! Can I just tell you how much I love this collection - the colours, the cute icons, the combination of florals and patterns. It really is adding a spring into my crafting and I can't wait to share all the fun with you. So let's get to it!

I know that Easter is a very special time, but I have to admit that I am a sucker for all the treats. Creating fun little treat containers is one of my favourite projects for the season.

For today's project, I created little boxes out of the 6x6 paper pads. The great thing about these boxes (besides the yummies inside) is that you can actually make 4 for every 12x12 sheet of paper if you want to go that route instead!

I created a little cutting and scoring guide for you (black lines are cut lines and dotted lines are fold lines). Add a little adhesive on each of the 3-1" sections on each side and your box will come together just like that!

I embellished each one with a sentiment from the Chit Chat pack and some cute die cuts from the Odds and Ends pack. With a few Sprinkles to add some shine and a bit of ribbon to hold the lid down (I may have stuffed a few too many candies in them) I was all set.

I think these would be really cute as place setting identifiers on your Easter breakfast or dinner table too. Or imagine a little Easter basket filled with them to give to the people you love! Actually, who cares what you use them for - just go make some and you can figure out all of that later! Thanks for stopping by!

LOTS OF LOVE VALENTINE BOX | with Miguel

The Valentine's season is a wonderful time to remind those we love that they are special, and fun gifts are an easy way to let them know! 

For my project, I used the Lots of Love collection to create a pretty gift box.  The patterns and colors in this collection are so pretty!  

The Bouquet of Love and Hug Bugs Doodle Pops were perfect for the top of my box!  I love the dimension with the bow and ladybug doodle twine.  

I used the Airmail washi tape around the edge of my box.  Not only is washi tape fun to use and super cute, it also added extra strength to the sides of my box. 

I tucked a few sweet surprises inside my box and it's ready to give to someone special! Thank you for visiting the blog today!  I hope my gift box inspires you to create something wonderful with Lots of Love!

GINGERBREAD KISSES TRUFFLE BOXES & GIFT CARD TAGS | with Kathy

I can't believe that Christmas is one week from today!  I think I am almost done shopping... well maybe... This year I am giving a few gift cards, and I wanted to make them a little more personal so I made some chocolate truffles and packaged them up with cute gift card tags using the Gingerbread Kisses collection.  Take a peek...

I started with the box cut file I found in the Silhouette Store that was designed to be cut from acetate, it is a "no-glue" box.  I cut it from the Sugar Sprinkles Heavy Acetate. The little boxes were the perfect size to hold 2 truffles, and I just love the colorful dots on the acetate!

To dress the boxes up a little I made a belly band and cut a bow using another cut file. 

Next I created the gift card "tags" that I tied to the bows on the box with some Doodle Twine.  I started with a couple of tags from the Bits & Pieces pack.  I embellished them with some Odds & Ends, chit chat pieces and some sprinkles.  I glued them to a small envelope sized just right to hold a gift card.

I love how it all turned out!  These would also make fun teacher or neighbor gifts.  The hardest part of this whole project was to not eat the truffles!  That's it for me today, I will be back in the new year with some more Doodlebug Fun!  I wish all of our Doodlebug Friends a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year!
