HELLO AGAIN LITTLE CHARMERS FAVOR BOXES | with Karen

One of my favourite new products from Doodlebug are the Little Charmers and I have been dying to find a way to use them on a project! So I decided to put my thinking cap on, team them up with one of my favourite types of projects and see if I could find a way to inspire you to use them too!

   

The only thing better than getting a little treat container filled with goodies is getting a treat container with a special treasure attached. The containers, made from the 12x12 paper from the Hello Again collection are as simple as can be.

   

But topped with the adorable Little Charmers. like this cute sun, these containers become something really special. Here's how you can make them too:     

1. Start with a piece of paper that measure 4"x12" (you can make 3 from one sheet of paper).

 

 2. Score along the long edge at 4.5", 5.5" and 10". Turn the paper 90 degrees and score at the 1" and 3" spots.

   

 3. At the little section created in between the 4.5" and 5.5" scores, v-cut a notch on each side.

 

4. Trim the side panels off of the section created by the 10" score line.

   

 5. Add adhesive to the narrow long sections and glue the sides of the container together.

   

 6. Pinch the top of the fold so the flap created by the 10" mark can fold over and close the container.

   

 7. Embellish with some ribbon and some pieces from the Chit Chat packs! And of course, don't forget to add a Little Charmer!

   

These would make great party favours - if you can bear to give away these little treasures! I hope you have fun creating some too. Thanks for stopping by! Hugs,

HELLO AGAIN GIFT SET | with Tya

It has been so fun to get to be designing for Doodlebug again after my little hiatus. One of the things I love most is creating gift sets that I can use when I need them using my Doodlebug products and my trusty Silhouette Cameo! A match made in heaven for sure! I have a fun bag and a cute fun-fold card to share with you today all made using the amazing 'Hello Again" collection!

Let's look at each of the pieces up close! This adorable bag caught my eye because I had an identical one back in the day! You know the kind- made of plastic - just like my awesome jelly shoes! I knew it would be such a fun design to use to hold fun little gifts for someone special. The bag is cut out using a piece of the Bubblegum Textured cardstock found in the Hello Again Textured Cardstock pack. I used the Perforated Bag cut file from the Silhouette Store and cut it on my Silhouette.

I added the "For You" tag from the "Just Because" tag paper. I tied it to the back with some Beetle Black Chunky Twine. I also added a few butterflies from the "All Aflutter" Shape Sprinkles to the tag for some shine with the beautiful gold foil on the butterflies.

This fun card was also cut out on my Silhouette. I am such a huge fan of fun fold cards and I fell in love with this fun one. It is the French Door Easel Card Birthday Balloons cut file. I made the card base out of the Beetle Black Textured cardstock. I then added a few pieces cut out from the fun "Forever Flowers "paper. I omitted the birthday balloons on the cut file, and instead, added the "Thinking of You" cut-apart cards from the "Hello Again" paper.

I then layered the card up with the "Butterfly Bouquet" Doodle Pop. This was such a great dimensional element to my card front that really makes a statement!

The inside of the card needed some decorating, so I added a small strip of the "Forever Flowers" paper and added the "Love You" circle die cut from the Chit Chat, along with the small yellow flower that was on the Doodle Pop.

I had so much fun creating this little gift set! I hope I have inspired you to make one of these to give to your special someone in your life! The 'Hello Again" collection has so many fun products that take your gift-giving packaging that little something extra that says just how much they mean to you! Thank you so much for stopping by today! Happy Crafting Friends!

FAIRY GARDEN GIFT SET | with Wanda

Hi everyone! I'm buzzing by today with some cheerful happy bees from the Fairy Garden Collection! I have been wanting to make a project featuring the bees and the honeycomb papers for a little bit, and the idea came together with this Busy Bee ensemble today! I've made a card, a gift bag/gift card holder, and some pretty pinwheel party decorations. I love blue and yellow together, it's just happy and bright! This would be great for any occasion - to decorate for a party or birthday.

I made the gift bag from Kraft cardstock and decorated the front with papers from the Fairy Garden 6x6 Paper Pad. I added a Bee Doodlepop and then finished off with Bumblebee Twine and a Mini Clothespin. I used Sprinkles from the Fairy Garden Collection to add shiny accents to this piece.

 I made the pinwheels using a Pinwheel maker and they are 4 inches across. I affixed them to fun paper straws using foam tape. I added accents from the Fairy Garden Collection (Chit Chat and Odds & Ends) to decorate the centers of the pinwheels. Keeping everything in the same color family.

 This finished card is a 4.5 x 4.5 inch square card made from Kraft Cardstock. I used three different patterned papers to create this look. I added bits of Sugar Coating Glitter to make the bee wings shimmery.

 Here's a close up of the layers on the gift box. The center image is from the Fairy Garden 6x6 Paper Pad. So sweet!

 

 I think these would be super cute for a baby shower! Those little bees make me smile!

 

That's it for today's project! I'm going back to my crafty hive to think of what to share with you next time. Take care and BEE creative!

NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS MINI ALBUM AND GIFT BAG | with Shellye

It's a gift inside of a gift! Today I have a super cute "mini-mini" album that I've tucked inside of a simple-to-make tree gift bag!  Get that assembly line going...this would be the perfect little gift for snail mail, grandkids, or use them as a place setting treat.

I will have a YouTube video available of the tree-treat bag, but first, let's talk about the Gingerbread House Mini Mini!

I started with the "Visions of Sugarplums" Stamp and Die Set. The gingerbread house was stamped onto a piece of the Kraft Woodgrain (Buffalo Check Petite Prints) and then carefully trimmed out.  Next, I stamped the image again onto various papers of blue, red and green from the 6X6 "Night Before Christmas" Paper Pad.  

As you can see, everything was paper-pieced into place.  White and red Sugar Coated glitters were used on the rooftop, steps and candy canes!

For the mini album pages, I used the same gingerbread house die to cut the shape from patterned papers and heavy-white cardstock. I layered the patterned papers (front and back) onto the white cardstock. Each of the pages were embellished and then added to a ring.

I used the completed album to figure out the size of the triangle-shaped gift bag.  To see how I put the bag together, please visit my YOUTUBE CHANNEL.

I completed the front of the tree bag with Doodle Frills, die-cuts and Doodle Pops!  The handle is a simple red/white chenille stem...voila!  Thank you for joining me today at Doodlebug Design!

CUPCAKE BIRTHDAY SET | with Kathy

Have you seen the new Hey Cupcake Party Animal - Girl Doodle Stamps??  Seriously they are everything a girl could ask for....kitties, hedgehogs, llamas...  I'm in love.  As soon as my box arrived, I pulled them out and set to work!  I put together this sweet little birthday set... take a peek...

I thought it would be cute to put together a fun "social distancing" birthday card.  The kitty, hedgehog and balloon are from the Party Animal Girl stamp set, and the flowers are from the new Birthday Girl Stamp set. (I added some glitter sprinkles to some of the centers) I love how the happy birthday sentiment was the perfect size to fit in the balloon!  I used the new Borders and Edges Dies to make the curtain and the line for the grass below.

I also decorated a little gift bag as well to go along with my card.  Of course I had to pick another kitty stamp!  I love the balloon kitty on the Hey Cupcake Birthday Bash paper so I copied the look using the stamps.  The clouds are from the Rainbows and Unicorns Stamp set.

Aren't the stamp images just the cutest?  Would you like to make your own gift set?  I created SVG files for the Window Card and the Cute Bag and they are available exclusively in the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop.  If you create something with them, be sure to tag Doodlebug Design on Facebook or Instagram, we love to see your projects!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

Dragon Tails Collection: Birthday Gift Bags and Boxes by Wendy Sue

Hi Doodlebug Friends!  It's Wendy Sue here today, sharing some fun birthday gift bags and boxes I created with the new "Dragon Tails" collection!  I just love the combination of dragons and vikings in this collection, and the colors are perfection for boys of all ages!  Here's a look at the set:

And a closer look at each of the pieces.

I purchased the plain blue gift bags at Target - the color is a perfect match for this collection!

 And the tissue paper is all Hallmark brand - again, perfectly matching colors!  yay!  And the doodle tape - it's SO perfect on these bags!

The little 4x4 cards are perfect to feature on the front of each bag

Adding odds & ends with foam adhesive squares gives each project a bit of extra dimension.

Isn't this two-toned blue doodle twine the cutest?  I just love it for these birthday boy bags!

For the cute little viking pillow boxes, I used a generic cut file and cut them with my Silhouette Cameo.

Then I die-cut a tag and embellished each tag with odds & ends, stickers, and those DARLING sword-shaped doodle clips!

These are the perfect size for a little bag of candy and a gift card!

So the next time you need a cute collection for a Birthday Boy project, be sure to turn to this darling "Dragon Tails" collection!
