FARMHOUSE TURKEY TIME TREAT HOLDERS | with Kathy

It's almost Thanksgiving... you know what that means... Turkey!  What do you call a group of turkeys?  After a search online I came up with a few options... a Flock, a Rafter, a Gang, and in some cases a Gaggle.  Whatever you call them, I created a whole bunch of them using the Farmhouse collection and the Turkey Time Doodle Cuts.  Take a peek...

We have a big crew for Thanksgiving... I made these little turkeys into a treat holders to put on everyone's plate.  These would also make super cute classroom treats, or a little something for your office friends.

Using the Turkey Time Doodle Cuts, I cut the pieces from a combination of Farmhouse Coordinating Textured Cardstock, Farmhouse Patterned papers and some Petite Prints.  The little eyes were done using An Eye for an Eye Shaped Sprinkles.

On the back of each turkey I created a triangular holder... it serves double duty.  First, of course, it holds the candy treat, and it also allows the turkey to stand upright.  It's really simple to put together.  I cut a strip of Textured cardstock measuring 1" x 6".  I then scored it at 3/8", 2 3/8" and 3 5/8".  I added a Lindor Ball using a glue dot, then secured the triangle, and to the back of the turkey using double sided tape.

I put together a quick video tutorial showing how I assembled them.  Once the papers were cut, they went together super quick!

I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!  Thanks for stopping by to peek!

HEY PUMPKIN TREAT HOLDERS | with Tya

Hello there crafty friends! Who's ready for some Halloween treat holders!?! Treat holders are one of my favorite things to make! I knew I needed to make something with a treat included when I saw all the yumminess of the Hey Pumpkin collection!

Each of my little treat holders is made from beetle black textured cardstock and are SO easy to make! You can whip these bases up so quickly that you can make a whole batch of these for trick-or-treaters, co-workers, etc. I used this tutorial here to make the holders

After you get the bases all made, then the fun part comes! The decorating!! I turned to the 6x6 Paper Pad to decorate my bags. The cute pattern papers were just the right scale for these smaller bags, and the sheet of mini tags in the paper pad was the perfect size to decorate the front.

I decorated the tags with some October Sky Shape Sprinkles, Icon Stickers, and some Puffy Icon Stickers.

I slid some of my favorite treats into the pocket and then tied the top with some glitter ribbon and some Doodle Twine.

A few more close-ups of the group!

 

I had the MOST fun whipping up these little cuties and I hope I have inspired you to grab the Faboolous "Hey Pumpkin" collection and make a batch of these for your favorite little monsters! Have a wonderful day and we will see you all next time! Happy Crafting!

HOMETOWN USA 4TH OF JULY TREAT HOLDERS | with Tya

Hello there and Happy 4th of July to all my American friends! I hope your holiday is going well! Today I wanted to share my latest design team project with you! This is a quick and easy one to whip up for all your patriotic pals tonight! These fun treat holders will be the hit of your party!

To make these, I took a snack-sized can of Pringles, emptied the chips, and rinsed the container. I then filled the cans with lots of 4th of July goodies like Poppers, some Pop Rocks candy, a Ring Pop, and a couple of party horn noise makers. These fit perfectly in this little container!

To decorate the outside of the cans, I used a 4 1/2 x 10-inch piece of All Stars paper and covered the can. I then added a strip of Summer Celebration Washi Tape to the top edge. I then cut out a few different 3x4 cards from the Summer Celebration paper and glued them to the front of the cans.

To decorate the tops of the cans, I used some blue tissue paper and wrapped it around the lid. I secured the tissue paper with some red and white stripe ribbon. I then added a few banner tags from the Chit Chat with the addition of a few stars from the Star Spangled Shape Sprinkles. These are hot glued to the center of the ribbon.

And of course, I couldn't resist using some of the adorable Doodle-Pops that come with the collection. I made these cute wands from a red and white striped straw that I topped with some of my favorite Doodle-Pops. These are mounted on a scalloped circle from the Nesting Scallops Doodle Cuts dies. I used the pretty Polka Dot Pride paper and some white cardstock to make these. I love how the Doodle-Pops fit just perfectly. I stuck these wands into the tissue paper.

I had such a blast putting these together and am excited to give them to my friends' children tonight at our neighborhood BBQ. I hope I have inspired you to make a few fun and festive treat holders for your festivities tonight! The Hometown USA collection is a perfect match for any patriotic party you are planning! 

Have a wonderful day and thank you for stopping by! Happy Crafting!

BUNNY HOP EASTER TREAT HOLDERS | with Guest Designer Shara Crane

Hello, its me Shara Crane. I'm back with another fun project using the Bunny Hop Collection.  This time I created some fun little treat boxes!  Take a peek...

Follow these steps to create some too!  I started with some fun cut files, I've linked them below. 

Step 1. I used my electric cutting machine to cut my treat boxes. I used a variety of  Bunny Hop papers for each part so each panel was different.

2. Before you fold and glue all the sides together if you’re going to use your sewing machine now is the time to do so. If you have a window and want to make it a shaker be sure to do that BEFORE you build the box. Just cut a pieces of paper a tad smaller than your cover, add dimension tape around the shaker window on the inside of the box, put your sequins into the window part and now add that cut piece of paper to hold all the sequins in. Now you can assemble your box/es.

3. Decorate your box/es. Use all the goodies you wish to make your box/es even cuter!  I used some Doodle Pops, 

4. Now stuff you little box/es with whatever you wish.  What is your favorite candy??

Have a great day! xoxo

BUNNY HOP EASTER BASKETS | with Tarrah

Are you ready for the Easter Bunny? In case you aren't I have a cute Easter basket project you can make for the littles! These are just so super cute and so easy to make too! You can download the free file here. I highly recommend printing these out, tracing the design onto some baking or tracing paper. You can then transfer the design onto whatever paper you like. Please note that the light blue lines are fold/score lines. Use a scoring tool for these parts for ease of folding them into shape.

I am lucky enough to own a Silhouette Cameo machine and was able to convert the file from PNG to SVG and then add it in my Silhouette Studio Designer Edition. I was then able to change the solid light blue lines to dash/dotted lines to create a perforated line so that these parts may be folded. My Cameo machine then cut these out exactly as I needed them too!

Choose some of the gorgeous papers in the Bunny Hop collection to cut for your baskets.

Once you have all of your baskets cut out you can begin to assemble them. Simply fold the perforated parts and glue the scallop pieces behind the middle piece. I used a small clip until the glue was dry to help secure these. I love how you can see the detail in the folds once they are glued together! Once both sides are done, you can go ahead and attach the long handle in the same way. I did attach the handle on the outside though as I knew I would be covering up the joins.

Once you have constructed your baskets, start decorating your baskets using some of the gorgeous embellishments from the Bunny Hop collection! I used the border stickers from This and That stickers around the tops of the baskets. I also added some Doodle Pops and Shaker Pops to each one - aren't Doodle Pops the best?! I love them so much! On top of the handles, I also added a word/phrase sticker and some small stickers. On the rabbit one, I also added some of the grass puffy stickers underneath.

OMG the cuteness is too much! I just love how these turned out! I hope you will give these a try using the Bunny Hop collection! You will not be disappointed!

I filled each basket with some thin wood shavings and of course some Easter Eggs too! These will make great little gifts for my work colleagues!

Thank you so much for stopping today! I hope you get to create some fun and cute Easter projects using the gorgeous Bunny Hop collection!

BUNNY HOP TREAT BASKETS | with Niella

Hi crafty crew, we're hopping straight into March with another sweet and adorable collection for Spring and Easter: Bunny Hop! There are so many fun and super charming characters in this collection and the patterns are all so darling! Cuteness overload guaranteed! Let's get into my first project with Bunny Hop - good ol' goodie baskets!

For these baskets I've used the 12x12 patterned papers top left clockwise: bunny hop, bunnies & beans and everything Easter. And that wee baby basket is from the 6x6 paper pad called carrot patch! Hi there little cutie!
Each basket is filled with shredded pastel tissue paper which serves as a great filler with mini chocolate eggs.

To create the front pouch, I've just made it the same as the main basket, just cut it smaller by using the 6x6 patterned pad because this pad is scaled down and perfect for wee projects. Stitched paper strips make easy handles and I love using the contrasting patterns. To close the bottom, I've added machine stitching straight across. These baskets can lay flat as well. Perfect for sending as happymail.

I loved putting these together! Truth be told I could make dozens of these to gift! I loved decorating each basket with the icon and mini icon stickers and the collection's puffy stickers! It's all so super adorable. The bits n pieces ephemera cemented how sweet this collection is. It's one thing to see it, but holding it is something else!

Thank you for popping by today! I hope you've had a crafty hit of inspo! 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!

OVER THE RAINBOW LEPRECHAUN CANDY HUGGERS | with Kathy

St. Patrick's Day is this Friday, and I'm all set with some fun little Leprechaun candy Huggers!  These would be so fun to give to friends & family or as a classroom treat.  Take a peek....

I started with the fun Gnomies Doodle Cut Dies and papers from the Over the Rainbow Collection.  I turned my gnomes into Leprechauns simply by dressing them in some of the green papers from the collection.  I altered the die cuts slightly to give them longer arms to hug the chocolate kisses.  Below, I've outlined the steps I took to make them...

To start, I cut the pieces of the gnome as shown above.  I cut a 3/16" x 6" strip of the Lucky Me shamrock paper from the 6x6 pad and a small piece of black for the eyes and mouth.  I also cut another gnome body from the back side of the Lucky Me paper.  I like to do this if I'm using a double sided paper so that I can cover the back and give it a cleaner look.

Next.  I added the black piece to the back of the main Leprechaun body behind the eyes and mouth.

I covered the whole back with the extra gnome body.  I kept the eye and mouth cut outs and glued them in the openings to make it look solid.

I flipped the gnome cut out to the front side.  I cut just the legs portion of the main body piece from the sprinkles of color paper in the 6x6 pad so that I could give him some colorful stockings.  Next I glued on his shirt, cuffs, belt, buckle and shoes.  Once he was assembled to this point I snipped off his arms (cruel, I know, but I promise, he was ok....)  I then added his beard, hat, nose and eyebrows.

I flipped him back over to the back side, centered the long strip along where his arms were and glued it to the back of the body.  Now when you flip him over, he has extra long arms to hold a treat!

I added a glue dot to his body, to hold the kiss, wrapped his arms around the kiss and glued them together.  To complete, I added his little hands with the cuffs attached to make it look like he was hugging the kiss!

For the girl leprechaun, the process was basically the same.  Here are some close-ups of each of my leprechauns...

I hope these little cuties bring you some luck this St. Patrick's Day!  That's all for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!
