FARMHOUSE TREAT BAGS WITH BEE HAPPY TAGS | with Miguel

Making small gifts each season is something I really enjoy and even more so if they are done with beautiful Doodlebug collections. Today I made these little bags filled with pumpkin-flavored sweets to share using the Farmhouse collection and the fun Bee Happy Doodle Cuts!

I decorated each bag with tags I made using the Bee Happy Doodle Cuts.  I filled them with Bumblebee Shaker Balls, and I love the results!

I added some Odds & Ends and Chit Chat to my tags to decorate some more!

I tied my tags with different shades of Doodle Twine, which coordinated perfectly with the colors of the Farmhouse collection.

Thank you! for stopping by here, I say goodbye but not before inviting you to continue creating!

FARMHOUSE SHAKER TAG MINI ALBUM | with Conny

Hey Crafty Friends, it’s Conny! I’m excited to share my latest project featuring the charming Farmhouse collection. One of my main inspirations came from the beautiful 12 x 12 Double-Sided Buffalo Plaid paper. I particularly loved the side with tags, which was a perfect template for creating the additional tags throughout my mini album. The rustic and cozy feel of the plaid really brought my project to life, and I can’t wait for you to see how it all came together!

Here's how I put it together!  I began with a template measuring 5 7/8" x 3 1/2".  I cut all my papers from the 6x6 paper pad or used scraps left over from my last project. Additionally, I utilized some Heavy Clear Acetate to create the templates for my shaker tags.

For the next step, I used my sewing machine to seal three sides of the tag. Then, I added a mix of shaker elements, including Shades of Fall and Fall Flowers Shakers, as well as some Tangerine Shakers. For extra flair, I included round sequins in bumblebee and cupcake. After adding the sprinkles to the clear acetate, I sewed the top of the tag shut using my sewing machine.

For the shaker cover, I embellished it with flowers from the Bits & Pieces, along with some Puffy Icon Stickers and the Turkey Time Doodle-Pop. I also added the Mini Maple Little Charmer to the ribbons. Inside the mini album, I decorated further and included photo mats that measure 3 1/4" x 4 1/4". Additionally, I incorporated a few smaller tags from the Bits & Pieces and added pom-pom ribbons for extra detail.

I added shakers as covers and one in the middle of my mini-album. My mini-album has about seven pages, but you can definitely add more. Have you ever created a mini-tag album before? I would love to see you give this project a try! You can hand stitch and create different fun patterns if you don't have a sewing machine. Make it enjoyable and uniquely yours!

Thank you so much for stopping by! I love sharing with you all my creative ways of making projects. Xo Conny!

FARMHOUSE SHAKER PLACE CARDS | with Jen

Thanksgiving is less than three weeks away. Good thing the brand new Farmhouse collection is perfect to make some fun place cards!

I used the 6x6 paper pad to make some cute shaker place cards perfect for my Thanksgiving gathering. I used some of the new Doodle-Pops and Shaker-Pops to decorate them and filled them with the new Shades of Fall and Fall Flowers shaker mixes. I used Tangerine Alphabet Soup puffy stickers to add the names.

Look at that cute shaker fill!

Want to make your own? Start with a 12x12 sheet of cardstock. Cut it to 7 1/4" high and then cut that piece into 4" wide pieces Take your leftover piece and cut it to 4" and 7 1/4" high to get four place cards from one sheet.

With the 7 1/4" side along the top of your score board score at 3/4", 1 1/2", 2 1/4", and 4 3/4".

Fold as pictured below.

Add your matting and shaker frame using foam tape and acetate and you're ready to go! Or skip the shaker to make it even easier.

Have a great day!

HEY PUMPKIN SHAKER TAGS | with Conny

Hey everyone! It's Conny from TheDailyLifeofCreativity with Hey Pumpkin Collection, and I'm excited to share these gorgeous shaker tags with you. I adore creating shaker tags because they're incredibly enjoyable to make and I love how versatile they are – they can effortlessly enhance various projects. I will be adding these tags to my October/Halloween cards or mini albums.

Let's begin! I started by selecting some 12"X12" cardstock. If you prefer to use the 6"X6" paper pad, that would work great too. The smaller images on the paper can be fun to play with when creating shakers using acetate.

I chose the Homespun heavy acetate, as well as the "Boo-tiful Bouquet" paper. I used the floral side with the spiders and the side with the black polka dots. I also used the "Moonlight Magic" paper and "Plaid It's Halloween." For the shakers, I picked the "Peek-a-Boo" paper because I felt like they would stand out more with the acetate, letting the "Halloween Night" and "Sweet Treat" shakers pop.

I usually prefer my tags to be 3"X5". There are many dies available with stitching, and SVGs, or you can even make them yourself. Cutting them is simple. To bind the tags together and turn them into shakers, I used my sewing machine with white thread. I stitched all around, leaving a spot open at the top to add the shakers. After that, I closed the opening using my sewing machine.

I spruced them up with some chit-chat, odds & ends, bits & pieces, and mini icons. I then used a staple to attach the chit-chat pieces to the bottom of the tags and layered the embellishments on top. To finish them off, I added a black tulle bow. 

I'd love to see your take on these tags, so be sure to tag us. Wishing you a delightfully spooky time, my little pumpkins!

HEY PUMPKIN LIL' PUMPKIN LAYOUT | with Brianna

Hey friends! Brianna Lepper here and as we are quickly closing up the Summer season... Spooky season is upon us!! The new Hey Pumpkin collection is adorable and I have so many pumpkin photos to go with it! Here's my page:

To start, I chose the Jolly Jack-O-Lanterns 12x12 paper as my base and then grabbed the citrus green cardstock from the coordinating cardstock pack and trimmed it down to an 11x11. I wanted a bit more patterned paper so I pulled the Hey Pumpkin paper, trimmed it down to a 10x10 and stacked that on top. I wanted to do some ink blending, so I trimmed a piece of white cardstock to a 9x9 size and adhered it to all of the paper layers. Using some Distress Oxide Inks in coordinating colors, I did some simple ink blending right in the center of my page. I also added in a few large white ink splatters as well.

The Halloween Night Shakers bottle is ADORABLE and I needed to use it on this page. I took one of the circle elements from the Bits & Pieces pack and punched a hole right in the center. I adhered a piece of clear acetate to the backside of it and then applied some thin foam strips around the permitter. I poured in the Shakers mix and sealed the shaker using a piece of vellum. It turned out so cute!!

Next, I went through the Doodle-Pops and chose the Pumpkin Patch one and adhered it to the bottom right of my photo. I had already matted my photo using one of the 6x6 patterned papers. I also tucked in one of the phrase flags from the Chit Chat pack into the Doodle-Pop.

To match my shaker, I needed a few more circular elements so I pulled one from the Bits and Pieces pack and another from the 12x12 Cardstock Sticker sheet. I added in a few of the Puffy Icons stickers and it all looks so cute layered up together like that!

Next, I started sprinkling in a few more smaller pieces for extra color and interest into each cluster. I pulled in more Puffy Icons, a few Cardstock Stickers, one of the cute pumpkins from the Hey Pumpkin Shape Sprinkles and some florals from the Odds & Ends Pack.

Here's one last look at this cute page:

Thank you so much for stopping by today, hope that I've inspired you in some way! Y'all have to add this adorable collection to your stash! It's just too cute!

HOMETOWN USA SUMMER RECIPE BOOK | with Jen

Summer is coming and I have a fun summer project for you today! Cooking in the summer tends to be a very last minute thing in our house. I often don't want to turn on the stove so I opt for simpler meals that can be grilled or eaten cold. What better way to document and organize some of those recipes than in a Doodlebug recipe book?

I used the adorable Home Sweet Home chipboard album to create a summer recipe book. I made the front cover into a shaker with the Doodlebug heave acetate because I was so excited to used the new Land That I Love Shakers!

On the front I used elements from the Hometown USA Chit Chat and a couple of Icon stickers.

For the doorway I took a scrap of the acetate, scored it with a 1/4" gusset. I attached this at the bottom of the doorway before adding my larger piece of acetate over the windows. I then added two layers or foam tape to build my shaker.

On the pages inside I added an assortment of low effort summer recipes. I used the Hometown USA mini icons to decorate and I ended up using almost all of them!

On the back of the album I added the picnic sticker from the This and That sticker sheet and some ants from the puffy icons.
