"Hello Sunshine" Card Trio By Wendy Sue

Hello Doodlebug friends!  It's me, Wendy Sue, here on a beautiful Wednesday morning to bring a little bit of sunshine into your life!!

I am just LOVING the "Hello Sunshine" collection!  The bright, happy colors against the neutral kraft background were just begging to be made into a set of happy, springtime cards.  I had to oblige!

My first card features the sunshine sticker and the cute little "hello sunshine" text block.  I couldn't resist adding a white doily and some doodle twine to soften everything up!

Of course, I had to add some foam adhesive behind the sunshine and text block for a bit of dimension too...it's been one of my very favorite techniques for years now!

And who can resist a beautiful, bright rainbow with a soft fluffy cloud at the bottom?  Certainly not me.

Can you see how many clouds are layered here?  I'll give you a hint...it's more than three and less than five. ;)  I LOVE layers!

This sweet little phrase sticker just had to be put on one of my cards.  I used the sprinkles shapes "spring flowers" around it...and I love, love, love it!

I bet you know someone who makes your world more colorful and happy and fun - you should make this card for them!!

Hope you all have a very happy, sunshiny day!

Double-Decker Christmas Tags!!

Hello Doodlebug friends!  It's Wendy Sue here with you today, counting down the days until Christmas (which happens to be 22 if you haven't been counting)!  Every year we draw names with my siblings and nieces & nephews.  I will admit I haven't started shopping yet, but I HAVE created the tags for our gifts! 

I started by die-cutting a simple tag shape.  You could use a manual die-cut, an electronic die-cut, or even hand cut a simple tag base.  

I created these tags with the lily white dot cardstock - isn't the subtle glittery polka-dot just perfect for a wintery/holiday background?

After creating the base, I added a tag from the "christmas tags" collection, using foam adhesive dots for some dimension.  

I added names to each tag with various letter stickers. 

And then I added a doodle-twine bow through the top holes. 

Each tag also has a touch of doodle tape, just for some added color and interest. 

I can't wait to add these colorful tags to the tops of the packages...as soon I go shopping for the gifts! 

 Merry Christmas to ALL of my Doodlebug Buddies!! :)
