super duper cute!

WCMD 2019 - THE EASE OF USING DOODLE-POPS ON CARDS | WITH TYA

This card is created by using the Swimming Pool Square Grid card from the Create-a-Cards as a card base. I just love the shape of this card base - it is so fun. It's especially fun to add some larger die cuts from the "Odds and Ends" die cuts for some big impact - like that cute haunted house!! I added a couple of black enamel dots from the "Eye See You" Shape Sprinkles to the Skull. It's fun to add a little shine to die cuts with enamel dots! I have an unhealthy obsession with Doodle-pops and this little vampire guy is named "Edward" - Twilight Fans celebrate lol! The purple pattern paper on the bottom is from the 6x6 paper pad. The "Trick or Treat" banner is from the "This and That" sticker sheet.

 Here is a close up of the Doodlepop - look at that shine on the moon!!!

 One of my latest techniques that I am loving for a little added pop is I take some acrylic paint and use the end of an embossing tool to create little colored dots on my projects. I used some white paint here and it mimics a starry sky. It kind of creates the same look as enamel dots but I can make little, tiny dots with the paint and I think its kinda fun :)  And here is also a close up of our cute "Edward"

WCMD 2019 - MAKING LITTLE SCENES ON YOUR CARDS with TYA
This card is created using the Tangerine A6 Paisley card base from the Create-a-Cards. I love making little scenes with stickers and die cuts! Good times for sure! That cute polka dot paper along the bottom is called "Ring Toss" - and I think it is the perfect little pop of color to compliment the bright orange top portion of the card base.
The scene on this card is made by adding 2 of the starburst die cuts from the "Odds and Ends" die cuts. They are added right to the card base. I then added the circus tent die cut also from the "Odds and Ends" die cuts to the center of the card base with some foam tape. The little costumed kiddos are from the Icon Sticker Sheet as well as the pumpkins and spider. The "Spook-tacular" title is from the "Chit Chat" die cuts. It is also added to the card with some foam tape. I also added a couple of pink "Halloween Night" Shaped Sprinkles for a little shimmer.

WORLD CARD MAKING DAY 2019 | Making Mini Cards

Have you ever made a 'mini card'?

They are perfect for sending little notes

or even popping into school lunches!

And, they are ideal at Halloween

to accompany bags of candy!

WCMD 2019 MINI CARDS BY TYA:

Can I just say how much I love these mini cards that Doodlebug makes! I love these little guys! They are perfect for sending just a little note to someone and I have to admit- they are SUPER fun to decorate! Here are the four that I made:

Let's get a close up of these cuties:
This one is made using the Limeade Mini Stitched card base from the Create-a-Cards. The cute purple paper is from the 6x6 Paper Pad, the burst pattern is a new pattern for us and I am LOVING it! I was especially excited that they had them in the 6x6 paper pads. The cute Spider-Boy is from the "Odds and Ends" die cuts. I added some black sprinkles to the eyeballs for some added shine. The small phrase stickers are from the "This and That" Sticker Sheet.

This little cutie is a Doodlepop and she is called "Hazel" - ADORABLE!!!  Doodlepops are a great addition to these smaller cards. The card base here is the Beetle Black Mini Scallop card. The orange paper is from the 6x6 Paper Pad. I mounted Hazel on some white cardstock and then added the "Hocus Pocus" die-cut to the top right and it is from the "Chit Chat" die cuts.

This card has is what Halloween is all about - the CANDY!! The card base here is the Bubblegum Mini Scallop card. I added a mini Swimming Pool Doily to the card base and then punched out a circle from a paper punch. The sucker and candy corn are from the "Odds and Ends" die cuts and the "Candy" speech bubble is from the "Chit Chat" die cuts. the enamel candy is from the adorable "Tiny Treats" Shape Sprinkles.
This last card is a quick and simple one - Sometimes all you need is a cute sticker and some even cuter pattern paper and you have a great card!  The card base here is the Swimming Pool Mini Stitched card. The Gone Batty Sticker is from the "This and That" Sticker Sheet. I also used the purple scallop border sticker that is also from the "This and  That" Sticker Sheet. I added 2 star  "Cute Clips" for some finishing touches on this card. Sometimes simple is better :)

WCMD 2019 SKETCH CHALLENGE - CARD BY TYA:

This card is created using the Tangerine A2 Stripe card base from the Create-a-Cards. I loved this card so much because after all - who doesn't love all the yummy Halloween treats??  I used 2 different pattern papers from the 6x6 Paper Pad on the card base. The "I Love Candy" banner is from the "Chit Chat" die-cut pieces. I added it to the bottom section of the card with some foam tape.

 This card shows off the cute "Candy Carnival" Doodlepop. I cut out a circle from a metal die-cut and mounted the cardstock to a Beetle Black Doily. I also added a few "Candy Carnival" Shaped Sprinkles here and there to fill in the empty spaces. The swirls are such a fun, whimsical touch!

WORLD CARD MAKING DAY 2019 | Easel Card with FREE Cut File Download!

Do you love to create cards that have fun folds,

stand up on their own and also use
adorable cut-outs from svg files?

Then this card is just for you!

Now that it's October, that means cool weather, cider and pumpkin carving!  I don't have any littlies at home anymore, but I still love to carve pumpkins.  Pumpkin guts aside, it's a fun activity!  My goal is to carve a pumpkin that is as cute as the little jack-o-lanterns on the Candy Carnival Icons Sticker Sheet... we will see how that goes this year! For now, I used cute little pumpkins to make an easel card for Halloween... take a peek...

I created a Silhouette Cut file for the base of this card, (you can download the file I created here) and pieced it together using some Petite prints and the Plaid side of the Prize Wheel paper. I just love the colors in the plaid!!!  I made a little pumpkin patch scene using stickers from the Icons Sheet and added a little spider web and spider at the top of the card.  The sentiment is from the Candy Carnival Chit Chat pieces.  The card actually folds flat to send along to a friend!  If you make any projects using Candy Carnival, be sure to tag Doodlebug Design on Facebook & Instagram.  We love to see what you create!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek.

Card Inspiration, Sketch Challenges
& Giveaways!

QUICK AND EASY 'CREATE-A-CARD' with TYA

If you've got a last minute card to create then a big time saving idea is to use a pre-made card and envelope set from our 'Create-a-Card' range. This card is created using a Limeade Slim Sunburst card from the Candy Carnival co-ordinating 'Create-a-Card' set. I love this cute tall skeleton! He is from the Odds & Ends and fits perfect on this tall, skinny card base. I added a small strip of Swimming Pool Dot/Grid Petite Print paper underneath the skeleton. 

On the top corner is a "Happy Halloween" ephemera piece from "Chit Chat" die cuts. I added a small star sticker and a tiny black and white "Candy Carnival" Shaped Sprinkle. I also added some black sprinkles on Mr. Skeleton's eyes using the "Eye See You" Shaped Sprinkles.

  And along the bottom, we have more ephemera pieces from the "Odds and Ends" with the star and the ticket. They are so cute! Again another black and white "Candy Carnival" Shaped Sprinkle in the center of the star.

GIVEAWAY:

We thought it might be fun to give away
a 'Create-a-Card' prize pack.
