DOODLEBUG SHAKERS - EASTER CHARM | with Miguel

Making charms is one of my favorite activities, especially when they're made with beautiful  Doodlebug products!  Today I made one using the Bunny Basket Doodle Cuts.  I cut several layers of foam and cardstock to give height and stability.

I placed Shakers in mint and Spring Flowers Shaped Shakers to give more fun to my project and the result is beautiful! I love the new Shakers!

To decorate, I used some Bunny Hop Chit Chats and Puffy Icon Stickers to give shine to my project.

I added crimped beads to a chain to make the keychain and add one more pendant to make it even more attractive.

Thank you as always for stopping by and don't miss out on making beautiful projects with Doodlebug products!

DOODLEBUG SHAKERS - BUNNY HOP SHAKER CARDS | with Nathalie

I think all of us love all the cute Doodle Pops, especially the shaker ones. But, now we can make them ourselves with the new Doodlebug Shakers Balls. What can I say, besides there are infinite possibilities with them. My first choice was to create a few cards with them:

I pulled my Doodle Cuts Nested Scallops, Bunny Hop collection, the Easter Card set, and foam adhesive!

I started by using the large die to cut the shape out of patterned paper and also a few pieces of white cardstock. I stacked and glued them together, with a piece of acetate between them. Then I used foam adhesive to create a close circle around the open space. I filled the shaker with the Flowers Shaker, the adhere the die cut to the card. I added a piece of Chit Chat and Bits and Pieces to complete the card.

I used the left over piece of the die cut to create my next card. I adhere a piece of acetate to the back of the die cut piece, then added foam adhesive to create a dam for all the shaker pieces. I mixed a few colors of shakers, then secured it to the card. I added a sentiment and a simple sentiment and embellishment to complete this card.

For the last card, I used the flower shape of the die set to cut 9 pieces from white cardstock, and three from patterned paper. I sandwiched acetate pieces between two layers of the die cuts to get 3 of each of the colors. Next, I filled the color die cuts with solid color shakers, and the white die cuts with the flower shakers. These are adhere to a white card in alternate form. Finally, I added a small sentiment to complete this card.

I cannot wait to keep on creating with the new shakers I have so many ideas just waiting to come together. Cannot wait to see what you create!! XO

DOODLEBUG SHAKERS - GIANT SHAKER POPS | with Kathy

Happy April! I'm excited to be kicking off a couple of weeks of Shakers Inspiration! I just love the new shakers... they are so fun, and come in all of Doodlebug's fabulous colors and some different shapes!  I had so many ideas on how to use them, it was hard to narrow it down!  I finally decided, that I should make some giant Shaker Pops... just like the Shaker-Pops that come with all of the collections, just bigger! Because... well who doesn't love a Shaker Pop???  Take a peek...

I added my giant Shaker Pops to the fronts of some A2 Cards... and I just love them!  They really were easy to make.  I started with some Doodlebug SVG files (linked at the bottom of the post).  I put them together using some Doodlebug papers, Heavy Weight Acetate, Shakers and some chipboard.  I've outlined the general steps below.

First, I looked for files that had a "shape" to fill.  I cut those shapes from a thinner chipboard using my Silhouette Cameo.  For each shaker, I cut 6 pieces of the chipboard.  This gave the shaker enough "height" to fit the shakers.  I also cut a solid of each shape from our Heavy Weight Acetate.

Next I stacked the chipboard pieces and glued them all together.  As an added step (not necessary, but it adds a nice finishing touch) I cut a thin strip of paper (just slightly smaller than 1/8 inch) and covered the edges of my shaker.  You could also paint the edges.

I cut the other pieces of my chosen cut files and glued my chipboard "frame" to the base of the cut file. 

I added my shakers, and then added a top piece of the cut file which was layered on top of the  acetate and glued.  

I like to make the shakers in their entirety before adding to a project, it gives them a bit more stability. Here are my three giant Shaker Pops!

And here are the individual cards...

For my first card I started with the Lots of Love Bubble Tea SVG.  I used the outline of the cup for my "frame"  I pieced the shaker together using some different Petite Prints and filled it with beetle black Shakers.  The card base and sentiment are from the Lots of Love collection.

My second card is based on the Pretty Kitty- Curious Kitty SVG.  I used the fish bowl as my frame for the shaker.  The kitty was pieced together using petite prints and the card with papers from the Pretty Kitty Collection.  The Hello and little fish are from the Seaside Summer Collection.  I filled the fish bowl with some Lily White Shakers.  

For my last card, I have a baby shower coming up soon and thought it would be fun to make a little card.  I started with the Special Delivery Bottle SVG.  I pieced it together using some petite prints and filled it with lily white shakers.  The card base is a combination of petite prints and Special Delivery papers.

 These really were so fun to make!  Be sure to check in often over the next couple of weeks for more Shaker inspiration.  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!
