BUNNY HOP PAPER CLIP EMBELLISHMENTS | with Conny

Hello, my crafty friends! It’s Conny here, and today I’m excited to share some delightful paper clip embellishments with you! These charming 4-inch paper clips are perfect for adding a touch of whimsy to your projects. I chose clips that match the color palette, beautifully complementing the enchanting Bunny Hop collection.

Let's get started! First, I began with the Shakers - Bunnies & Chicks sprinkles. I also added round sequins in cupcake and bumblebee for extra pops of color. Once my shaker mix was ready, I cut a piece of clear acetate measuring 3 1/4 inches wide by 8 1/2 inches long.

Next, I slid the acetate through the paper clip and folded it in half. Using my sewing machine, I added stitching starting at the top near the paper clip and sewed all around, leaving a small opening to add the sprinkle mix. After I filled it with the sprinkle mix, I returned to the sewing machine to sewed it shut.

To complete my project, I added Doodle-pops, flowers from the Puffy Icons stickers, Mini Icon stickers, and Chit Chats to embellish the top of the shaker clip. The Chit Chat was added on top of double-sided foam adhesive.  They turned out really cute! I can't wait to see your shaker paper clips using the Bunny Hop collection. Xo, Conny

6 X 8 MINI ALBUMS - MORE PAGES - WINTER WONDERLAND MINI ALBUM | with Jen

Hi Everyone!  Happy Valentine's Day!  I'm back today with some new pages I created for my 6x8 Winter Wonderland Mini Album.  If you missed my first posts, you can find my cover post here, and my previous pages here and here.  The last fun elements included in the Doodlebug 6x8 albums are heavy cardstock inserts that match the album color and pocket inserts. The pocket inserts come in a traditional pocket style and a side loading pocket style.

The heavy cardstock inserts are perfect for small layouts. I've added photo mats and Snow Much Fun Chit Chat or This and That Stickers. Because they coordinate with the albums they also coordinate with any Doodlebug paper collection.

I used two of the cardstock inserts to mat the front and back inside cover or my album. By simply trimming off the binder holes on the side they fit perfectly as mats that can then be decorated. I used Chit Chat and Odds and Ends on mine.

For the pocket inserts the journaling cut-aparts fit perfectly on the side loading pockets. I've turned one of them upside down so my pocket is on the opposite side. The back sides of all the pockets are all perfect for a small layout.

For the traditional pocket inserts I've matted these with petite prints and the 12x12 collection. The pockets are big and will hold lots of photo mats.

I have a process video and walkthrough of the completed album here.

6 X 8 Mini Albums - Snow Much Fun Winter Wonderland Album Cover | with Jen

Doodlebug 6x8 Albums are here and they're amazing! The new albums have a beautiful laminated cover, canvas covered spine, and come in 14 delicious Doodlebug Colors. Each album has 5 tabbed chipboard inserts, four heavy cardstock inserts, and 10 page protectors in four configurations.

For my project I decided to use the adorable Snow Much Fun collection with a lilac album. On the front I used my mountain shaker I made as a design team project a few months ago and it fit perfectly. My tutorial for how to make shakers out of Doodlebug SVG Files can be found here.

I matted my cover with one of the plaid side of the Ice Crystals paper.  I cut it to 6 1/4" x 8 1/2" to get the perfect white border around the edges. I added a Chit Chat Piece and a border sticker from the This and That sticker sheet.

My shaker is layered and gives good dimension to the cover. I used the Flurry and Ice Crystals Doodlebug Shakers.

To finish my cover,  I added snowflakes from the Bits and Pieces and Clouds from the Odds and Ends. I added a little Yeti from the Icon stickers peeking out from behind the mountain.

I also have a process video for you that also shows you all the elements that come in the 6x8 albums.

TINSEL TIME SHAKER GIFT TAGS | with Kathy

We are officially down to the wire!  It's time to get all of those Christmas gifts wrapped and put under the tree!  I decided to add some fun Tinsel Time Shaker Tags to some of my gifts this year... take a peek...

I started with some Tag Dies from my stash.  I cut them from some Tinsel Time Coordinating Textured Cardstock.  I lined the bottom tag piece (without the window)  with some fun papers from the 6x6 pad.  I love the smaller prints, they work perfectly for projects like this.  I covered the open window of the tags with some Heavyweight Acetate.  I added some double sided 1/8"foam tape to outline the window, filled it with some fun shakers then attached the top tag to the bottom!  All that was left was to decorate which was easy with all the fun Puffy Stickers, Shaped Sprinkles, mini Jewels, Icon Stickers, Odds & Ends and Bits & Pieces!  Here are some close-ups...

On the "B" side of the Happy Holly Days 6x6 paper are word strips that are great for cards & tags.  I used them for sentiments on my tags.  I also added some fun Glitter Sprinkles from the Christmas Assortment to some of the ornaments.

In addition to Doodlebug Shaker balls, I also used the Happy Holidays and Jolly Holly Shakers.  I also added some shaped sprinkles from the Christmas Candy Shaped Sprinkles.

To top my tags I stapled some grosgrain ribbon using my tiny attacher stapler.  They are all set to be added to my gifts!

Here's a little video of my tags.... it's always more fun to see things in motion!

I hope that everyone has a wonderful, safe & healthy Holiday season.  I'll be back in the new year with some more Doodlebug projects!  Thanks for stopping by to peek.

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!
