Doodlebug Shadow Boxes

Hi crafty peeps! Today I thought I would share some sweet boxes that I made using Doodlebug Designs Collections that were featured in Crafts Beautiful. These are actually little shadow boxes that you can use as Christmas tree decorations or just little hanging decs. I love how cute all Doodlebug products are...

For these boxes I created a box template to create the boxes that measured 8cm square. I then die cut a window in the front of each box using Time For Tea Designs Square Label Dies, Circle Dies and MFT Square Dies. I used Doodlebug Santa Claus Is Coming To Town Petite Prints Papers and coordinating card to create the box, outer and inner panels. I punched a hole in the top and added a ribbon handle. I added glitter card inside each panel to create a snow effect. I decorated the inside and outside of the boxes with Doodlebug Icon Stickers & Mini Stickers.


Supplies;
Doodlebug Santa Claus Is Coming Town Collection - Icon Stickers, Mini Stickers, Petite Prints Papers
Time For Tea Designs Dies - Circles, Square Labels
MFT Die-namics Dies - Square STAX
Coloured Card


Thank you ever so much for stopping by today. I will be back tomorrow with my latest card for Time For Tea Designs.

Halloween Fun

I just thought I would share some fun makes I have made using some fab products from Doodlebug. I recently found a load of Doodlebug including some of the Halloween collections. We have a few of my daughters friends over for Halloween so I made this up as little favours/gifts to give them. I filled each ones with some cute Halloween themed sweeties & chocolates. I had so much fun creating these...

Everything I used is from Doodlebug Halloween Collections I think 2019 and 2020 but I could be wrong. I used the toppers from one of the 12x12 papers for the bag and mounted them onto silver glitter card. I used some papers for the tag topper and attached it onto a clear bag filled with choccy.

I used my Lawn Fawn Scallop Box Die and spotty card to create the box shape.I then decorated it with some Doodlebug Stickers and a die cut border. I added twine to the top and a mini peg.

For the lolly pop holder I used my Time For Tea Tag Shape Dies. I die cut two of them, folded each one on the bottom corners and fixed it together to create the flap. I punched a hole in the bottom so I could place the lolly through it and tied some ribbon onto it. I then decorated the lolly with papers and stickers.

That's all from me today, I hope you have a great Halloween tomorrow and I will be back with inspo next week.

Hello

Hello crafty people!

My laptop charger is on it's last legs at the moment so I will make this brief - I may not be online until the new charger arrives next week if it completely dies before then - eeek! So today I am sharing one of my latest cards that was made for Crafts Beautiful Magazine. This one made the main front cover - eeek always so happy when that happens....

Can you believe this card was mostly only made with papers & stickers? I love that there are so many different products on the market that I get to play with. The papers are Doodlebug Spring Garden and the hello & flowers are Spring Garden Stickers. I used a Joanna Sheen Banner Die that was cut and layered using pink card. I also added an embossed background and finished off with some rhinestones.

I will be back soon :)

Good Morning!

I have a very bright and colourful card to share with you today. I am loving the on trend 'mermaids' and 'unicorns' at the moment so I decided to have a play with the new Doodlebug Under The Sea Collection...

This card is made entirely from papers & stickers! The papers are of course the Doodlebug Under The Sea Paper Pad - we are due another delivery within the next week or so, so make sure you look out for that. I also used the matching Cardstock Stickers. If you pop them up on 3d foam pads or mount them onto card you can turn them into toppers. I mounted everything onto white card for a clean look. I also used Stitched Scallop Edges, Double Stitched Circle Die-namics and a embossing folder. I added some sparkly self adhesive rhinestones to finish.
