Welcome friends to the Doodlebug blog today on this International Scrapbook Day! What a great day to be a paper crafter! What kind of paper crafts are you making today? Want to make some cards? How about TEN cards using the adorable "Hey Cupcake" collection?!? I have made a walkthrough video showing how I put together ten cards! And as a bonus - I have included a cutting guide that gives you full color, step by step instructions and the supply list on how I put these together so that you can make some of your very own! (The link to the video and the Cutting Guide will be down at the bottom of this post.)
Here are the cards that we will be making!
and some close-ups of each card:
Aren't they so fun?
Click on the YouTube video below and come on over and join me today! I can't wait to show you how fun these cards are to put together!
We are delighted to introduce our special Guest Designer - Christine Meyer and we know you are going to love Christine and her beautiful designs using our 'So Much Pun collection.
Tell us a few things about yourself: I’m a mom to three boys and one girl, and my downtime is spent in the paper crafting world. I love all kinds of crafts from scrapbooking to cardmaking to bullet journaling. Lots of Color, stitching, and whimsy are all things you can regularly find on my projects. I create process videos for most of my projects and you can find those here: http://www.youtube.com/cameyer71 I also keep up with Instagram at http://www.instagram.com/cameyer71 What Doodlebug product did you enjoy using the most? My favorite Doodlebug product to play with was the Odds & Ends! Three fun facts about yourself: - I love ice cream and visiting local ice cream shops - My husband is over a foot taller than me - I enjoy taking long distance bicycle rides on local trails.
Space-Cial Layout:
As a mom of three boys, I love a collection that can work well for both boys and girls! So Much Pun does just that! Today I am going to focus on the space themed elements in this collection to make a very "Space-cial" layout! Let's blast off to some color and fun!
I was inspired by the striped patterned paper in this collection and that was my jumping off point! Once I started cutting it up - I knew it would be perfect to do a color blocking of sorts - mixing and matching embellishments from the collection! I did opt in this case to leave the pink out!
Close-ups
There are a lot of details in this layout, take a closer look with me to catch them!
It is more obvious here how the stripes are cut apart and used. For each color I picked out several stickers as well as quotes and icons from the "Odds & Ends" packs. First I narrowed down which ones I wanted to use then I laid all the big stuff out first. You can see nearly every line has a big icon or phrase on it. BUT not every one, that would have been too crowded.
Once I had all the big pieces on, then it was time to add the little details! Stars, gumballs, and all those little elements that help to pull a layout together! You can't forget those fabulous Self-Adhesive Sprinkles. Those don't stray too far from any of my projects!
My title idea came from one of the cut-apart cards patterned papers. It was too small to work for the title on this one so I just made my own!
You're Space-cial Process Video
For nearly every layout I do, I like to create a process video. It definitely helps to pull the whole project together as a viewer and lets you see how and why I made my design decisions.
I hope you have enjoyed my layout and video?
I have another two layouts and videos to share with you today so don't forget to pop back at 9am and 12 noon to see what else I have created with this super fun, super versatile range of products from Doodlebug.
