BUNNY HOP CARDS & TAGS | with Tya

Spring has officially sprung in my craft room, and I couldn't be more excited to share the sweet bunch of cards and tags I created using the Bunny Hop collection! This collection is absolutely overflowing with charm- from the pastel color palette and playful patterns to the darling bunnies and chickies - everything feels like a burst of sunshine. Designing with Bunny Hop was pure joy, and I found myself smiling the entire time as each piece came together. 

 

Let me show you all the delightful little details that went into each card and tag!

As you can see on my first card, the pattern papers here are absolutely adorable and so bright and fun! My first card features lots of layers of pattern paper and various embellishments from the collection such as the Icon Stickers, the Bits and Pieces die cuts, and stickers from the This and That sticker sheet. I added some bling with the Easter Mini Jewels. I love adding all sorts of ribbon and twine to my projects as well- so I added some pretty pink twine to the top of the die-cut clipboard shape.

All of my tag bases for the project come from the 4 tags found in the Bits and Pieces die cuts. My first tag was decorated with lots of stickers from the Icon Sticker sheet. This size of sticker was perfect for my tags. The word strip is a sticker from the This and That sticker sheet.

Pretty polka dots are featured on this fun card! I also added some beautiful florals from the Bits and Pieces take center stage here and a fun little bunny and her egg make for a fun and festive card.

My second tag features one of the cute boy bunnies in the collection. How cute are his little overalls? This fun sticker would be so cute on a bag of treats!

I love square-shaped cards, and when I saw this adorable "Some Bunny Loves You" sticker from the This and That stickers sheet- I knew I had to make it front and center on my square-shaped cards. The adorable bunnies on the background paper from the Everything Easter paper make for the perfect background on this bunny-themed card. Hearts and flowers are also seen decorating the perimeter of the cute sticker sentiment.

This adorable tag is a cutie! The stripe looks great next to the cute daffodil floral die cut with a jeweled center. The Egg Hunt arrow is a sticker from the This and That sticker sheet.  This tag would be so cute on a page showcasing your Easter festivities! 

I love making little scenes with my embellishments as you can see here! the floral bunches from the Bits and Pieces are perfect for layering up other stickers on top of.  The sunshine sticker from the Icon Sticker sheet is perfectly framed with one of the circle labels from the Bits and Pieces. The label and Happy Easter sticker title work great along the cute grass pattern paper found on the Spring Sprouts paper.

This last tag is my favorite! Maybe because I am team Peeps! I love those little marshmallow goodies and these stickers reminded me of a favorite Easter treat. These cute stickers from the Icon Sticker sheet fit perfectly on this flower tag.  I added some tiny flowers and mini gems to decorate this tag further. It's so cute! 

My last card features one of the sticker labels from the This and That sticker sheet. They work great on cards and I just fell in love with this fun bunny in his truck delivering some Easter Eggs! The adorable Chick tag from Bits and Pieces adds some charm and whimsy to the card. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you enjoyed taking a closer look at my Bunny Hop cards and tags- and that you're feeling inspired to create something sweet and springy of your own. This collection is just too cute to resist, and I know you'll have just as much fun playing with it as I did. Happy Easter and Happy Crafting my friends!

OVER THE RAINBOW SPRING CARDS | with Tya

If you are looking for a burst of color and joy in your cardmaking, the Over the Rainbow collection is pure magic! I had the best time creating these six handmade cards using this bright and whimsical collection, along with the Cards and Envelope kit that coordinates with the collection. From the playful patterns to the charming little icons, the variety in this collection made it so fun and easy to mix and match elements. Each card came together with its own personality, and I can't wait to share them with you - so let's see what I made!

My first card is one of the larger ones in the card and envelope kit, so it was super fun to build up this little scene with the Mushroom House and the darling little gnome on his mushroom! I loved the clouds on the pattern paper - which is from the 6x6 paper pad along with the green dot paper. I cut it in a little wave on the top to mimic a grassy little hill. A sweet sunshine die cut peeks out as well. A few of the tiny flowers from the Spring Garden Shape Sprinkles add a touch of shine.

All the bright colors are featured here on this cute card with a lucky theme! The cute notebook die cut from the Bits and Pieces made for a great base to layer up lots of different die cuts and from the Odds and Ends and Chit Chat die cuts. More shine is here to with the use of the shape sprinkles. Notice the cute little green twine bow too! It adds some great texture!

We all need an extra thank you card lying around for when we need one in a hurry - so I whipped up this little cutie! I love this tree and the cute bunny makes this card extra warm and cheery! The Thank you sentiment is from the This and That Sticker Sheet and the bold pink color really pops! A few Sprinkle enamel dots add just the right amount of shine and color!

These longer-shaped cards are so fun to work with and are the perfect spot to add the label-shaped sticker from the This and That Sticker Sheet like I did here! This cute as can be little gnome couple look perfect centered on this card front. Surrounded by a few speech bubble die cuts from the Chit Chat die cuts - this card is one of my favorites! Don't forget to add the hearts as well and more shiny flower Sprinkles.

One more long-shaped card base is found in the card and envelope pack so I used this one for this adorable bold rainbow die cut from the Chit Chat. Paired with the cute gnome in a hot air balloon die cut from the Odds and ends - this cute rainbow-themed card will be sure to brighten anyone's day! I love the little rainbows found on my pattern paper too! So cute! 

Everything is cuter when its mini right? This mini 3x3 inch card included in the card and envelope kit was so fun to put together! The collection is full of gnomes and this cute little lassy was just asking to take center stage on this card! The wee little Hello sign is from the Odds and Ends and makes for a sweet little greeting on this mini card.

6 X 8 MINI ALBUMS - RECAP SNOW PLACE LIKE HOME MINI ALBUM | with Tya

Hey there! Well- we did it! We made it to the final post for my Snow Much Fun 6x8 Mini album project! Boy, did I love putting this project together! I have been waiting for literally YEARS for Doodlebug to come out with a 6x8-sized album and they did not disappoint! I LOVE these so much and can see myself just making and making more and more albums of this size! So thank you Doodlebug for making my album dreams come true!

In this post I will be sharing some of my favorite pages of the album and why I loved creating them. We have to start out, of course, with the cover. I love making really eye-catching covers because that is what is going to draw your reader in! I loved utilizing the Home Sweet Home Chipboard Album and the coordinating die to create this snowy scene on my cover! How cute is our little Frosty Fox Doodle-pop friend?!?

The albums come with these really sturdy chipboard dividers that are so fun to layer up with lots of Chit Chat, tags, and other embellishments from the collection! I loved the way I could add the tab die cuts to the edges for some interest!

I am a sucker for anything interactive in my mini albums, so I did lots of them in my album. I think it's so fun to watch my loved ones flip through the album, take things out of pockets, and lift flaps and the like. This cute page features a pull-out pocket feature that lends itself to lots of room for extra photos and journaling spots in our albums.

The albums also include these beautiful color page inserts that I chose to trim up into a rounded shape for some added interest. The way these add such a vivid pop of color to the albums is wonderful!

Pocket pages are also in the album and I added a fun interactive element to these types of pages by simply folding some of the pattern papers to add a flap to the pocket. So many great ways to add interest to an otherwise plain pocket!

On those awesome Chipboard divider pages, I was able to have lots of creative freedom to add even more interactive goodies like this pocket that holds a large tag. I love how much more you can fit into making pockets on your layouts, and because these aren't in a page protector - the reader can pull these interactive parts out and enjoy them again and again!

Here is yet another fun interactive design element on this Chipboard divider page - a tall piece of pattern paper is folded over and then a flap is added so the reader can lift it up and see what's underneath! So cute and clever!

 

Look how much these pocket pages hold! These are fabulous additions to the design pages included in the album. As you can see they are great places for additional photos, journaling, and decorative elements in your albums!

And I also got to use some of my own custom page designs, like the one below where I folded up the B side of the pretty pattern paper and made it into a pocket along the bottom and the top! I love the creative freedom I was able to express with these albums!

 

If you'd like to see all the pages in the album- make sure to check out my YouTube Channel for a quick walkthrough of the different pages of the album! See them under the "Shorts" tab on my channel! Tya Smith YouTube Shorts.

Creating this 6x8 Mini album with the Snow Much Fun collection has been an absolute joy! From layering all the adorable pattern papers to adding dividers, pocket pages, and interactive elements, every step of this project has been so much fun! I loved bringing all the wintery details together and watching this album come to life over the last two months. Thank you for joining me on this creative journey - I hope it's inspired you to make a mini album of your own! Stay tuned for more mini-album ideas coming your way! Thank you for joining me on this journey! Happy Crafting!!

6 X 8 MINI ALBUMS - PART 4 SNOW PLACE LIKE HOME MINI ALBUM | with Tya

Hello there Doodlebug friends! I am thrilled to be back once again to share with you my last set of pages in my Snow Much Fun 6x8 Album! I have had the most fun time putting this cute little album together and am excited to show you what I have made. In case you missed the previous parts of the album, the cover can be found here, the first 4 pages can be found here, and the next batch of pages can be found here. Let's look at the final 4 pages, shall we?

I started this page using one of the chipboard dividers as my base. These beauties make the best bases for making interactive pages since they are not in a page protector. Here I took a 6 x 12 inch piece of the Frosted Friends paper and scored the top at 4 inches. This way you can see both sides of this pretty paper! I decorated the flap with some die cuts from the Odds & Ends and Chit Chat packs.

Inside the flap is a great spot for a large 5x7 photo or a great spot to add some journaling.

I added this fun page with 4 photo spots on the back of the chipboard divider. This would be a great page to show your little Eskimos out playing in the snow! I just loved this large title from the Chit Chat as well!

Sometimes when I have a pattern paper with a more busy pattern to it, I love to make these fun folded inserts! I simply took the adorable Snow Much Fun pattern paper and trimmed it to 12 x10 inches. I scored the bottom edge of the paper at 3 inches and then folded it up so you can see both sides of the pattern. I used one of the pages as a guide to punch out my holes and then added this fun page to the album. It is filled with a photo spot, a cute 3x4 cut apart from the Frozen Flurry paper and then I made the top portion a top loading pocket.

Here we have some of the lovely blue Textured Cardstock as a base for more photos. The circle die cuts from Chit Chat are framed perfectly as I punched a half circle in the pattern paper base for it to peek out of!

Here is the back of the page with again a photo spot and a 3x4 cut apart.

A spot for 2 photos on the back of the pocket insert is shown here.

Next, we showcase the fun divided pocket pages. This time it is (4) 3 x4 spots. I filled the pockets with pattern papers and Petite Prints and even added some of the tags from the Freeze Tag paper to one of the pockets.

Here is the back of the pocket page. I added a few die cuts from the Odds and Ends here and then there are 2 more photo spots as well.

The final page is one of the side-loading pocket dividers and it was so fun to fill this pocket up! After I decorated the base with pattern papers from the Snow Happy Together and the Snow Day papers, I decorated the outer pocket with some snowflakes from the Bits and Pieces and the cute Winter title is from the Chit Chat. Inside the pocket is a photo spot and one of the journaling spots found on the Cold Streak paper.

The back of the page is yet another fun pocket page that I designed. It has two pockets that hold a tag and a 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 inch photo. This is such a fun spot to add all those cute cut-apart tags on the Freeze Tag paper to! I loved this one!

Well, there you have it! The final 4 pages to the album that is just waiting to be filled up with all of those Winter fun memories and photos! I had such a great time putting this together and cannot WAIT to do more 6x8 albums in the future! I am hooked! These albums are of such great quality and have so many different design options to them. I am so thrilled to have been able to share these pages with you and hope you have gained some inspiration from them! Thank you so much for stopping by today! Stay warm and Happy Crafting!

6 X 8 MINI ALBUMS - SNOW PLACE LIKE HOME MINI ALBUM | with Tya

Hello friends! Today, I'm thrilled to share the cover of my 6x8 mini album using the Blue Jean album and the whimsical "Snow Much Fun" collection. Living here in Utah, where we truly have "the greatest snow on Earth," this project holds a special place in my heart. I'm so excited to use this album over the next two months to document the magical winter memories I've experienced. By the end, I hope to have a completed album full of inspiration for you to create your own winter-themed projects.

For the cover, I wanted to capture the cozy charm of a snow-covered home in winter. Here's how I put it all together:

To craft this adorable house design, I used a few pieces from the Home Sweet Home Chipboard album that I had lying on my shelf. I traced the cover pieces onto cardstock and pattern papers coordinating with the Snow Much Fun collection. I also turned to the Home Sweet Home Doodle Cuts die that coordinates with the chipboard album to add details to my house like the scallop edge on the roof, the windows, the snow bunches on top of the windows, and the door. They all came together so quickly with the use of this die! I loved using some of our Sugar Coated cardstock for that snowy sparkle and shine as well. The beautiful snowflakes on the "Snow Happy Together" pattern paper I used for the background look so good when paired with the deep blue color of the Blue Jean album.

To bring the house to life I added a few die-cuts from the collection. A cute little bird and tree are from the Odds and Ends and my project would not be complete without a Doodle Pop! This sweet little "Frosty Fox" ties in the pretty grays in the collection so well! The heart on the door for a knob is also found on the Frosty Fox Doodle Pop.

My love of all things ribbon and twine all got highlighted here as well as you can see- I have various ribbons tied to the album as well as some Blue Jean Chunky Twine that ties my tag to the album. The tag is from the Bits and Pieces ephemera. The tag is decorated with the "Snow Place Like Home" sentiment from the Chit Chat and a few pretty green gems from the Mini Jewels. Notice how the house I did for my cover is the same color scheme as the one on this sentiment? This was done purposefully to create continuity in my project. The sentiment was actually my inspiration for the whole album as I truly think my home here in Utah - there is "snow place" like it!

The cover of any project is the theme setter, and I couldn't be happier with how this one turned out! It's the perfect starting point for what's to come inside the album. I hope it has you as excited as I am to see how the inside pages take shape over the next coming months. Stay tuned as I fill this album with fun pages. I really hope it inspires you to create your own albums, capturing memories that warm your heart through the coldest days! Thanks for stopping by today and Happy Crafting!

TINSEL TIME MERRY & BRIGHT LAYOUT | with Tya

Hello there - I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and wish you and yours well for the upcoming new year! Sooo - now that Christmas has passed, it's the perfect time to dive into all of those festive photos and start preserving those magical memories in scrapbook layouts! For today's post, I'm sharing a fun and festive layout featuring the adorable Tinsel Town collection. As you can see, this cheerful collection is so bright and colorful - it was just a joy to create with!

I based my layout on a favorite photo from my recent trip to Disneyland - because what better way to relive the holiday magic than through a trip to the Happiest Place on Earth? Let's jump into all the details of this project!

I have always wanted to do a layout with a smattering of these 3D stars across it - I have a layout like this pinned to my favorite layout Pinterest board that features this type of embellishing and I knew that with these pretty colors, this would be a great collection and photo to do this embellishing!

My photo is backed with layers of textured cardstock and the pretty plaid paper on the Festive Floral paper is just the right touch for my photo. Since the photo was taken in front of the Christmas tree on Main Street, it seemed right to add a die-cut tree and lights to the layout. These are from the Odds and Ends and cute light strands are from the Bits and Pieces. I also added a few banner strips of pattern papers and Petite Prints from the collection. The silvery mulit -colored dots that I used for my background is the Snow Bright paper and it's perfect!

The "Merry and Bright" title is from the Chit Chat die cuts and I loved how it perfectly summed up my photo of me with my mom and girls - such a fun memory with them!

For my stars, I used a metal die and then used some Textured cardstock and Petite Prints to make them. I scored each point and then folded on the lines to make a few of them 3D. It really adds great dimension to the layout. I also added some little sparkle stickers from the Puffy Stickers, and some of the Sprinkles on some of the centers. For some added sparkle and shine - I used some Stickles glitter glue to accentuate some of the stars.

For my journaling on this layout, I decided to add some hidden journaling tucked behind my photo. I used one of the tags from the Bits and Pieces pack, typed up my journaling and added it to the tag. I topped the tag with some Cupcake Twine and a heart die cut. More sparkle from the Stickles was added here as well. If you find yourself not having a lot of room to journal on your layouts - this technique with the hidden tag is great!

Thank you so much for stopping by the blog today! I hope this layout inspires you to pull out your favorite holiday photos, grab the Tinsel Town collection, and start creating beautiful layouts that beautifully capture your cherished memories. Scrapbooking is such a meaningful way to preserve these moments for future generations to enjoy and connect with. Wishing you all a season filled with joy, creativity, lots of color, and love - Happy Holidays and Happy Scrapping!
