Doodlebug Design | Candy Carnival Shadow Box Treat Bag

Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays... I mean let's face it, any holiday that's centered around getting candy... how can you not love it??  Even more fun is candy in cute packaging.  The Doodlebug Design Candy Carnival Collection makes this easy!


How fun is this little shadow box treat bag?  I cut the bag from the Ring Toss Paper using a the Lawn Fawn Goodie Bag die.  I then cut a window in one side of the bag and covered it with acetate. I made a little scene using the pumpkins and moon from the Happy Halloween Stamp set and placed it behind the window using some foam tape to give it dimension.  All that was left was to fill the bag with some treats and tie it closed with some Doodle twine!  And of course I added the little spider stamp... Doodlebug spiders are the ONLY kind of spiders I like!

Doodlebug Design | Candy Carnival Shadow Box Card

I'm excited to be kicking off a few weeks of Doodlebug Design Candy Carnival inspiration!  If you haven't seen the collection yet, you're in for a treat!  The colors and adorable icons are sure to put a smile on your face!  I received my box and immediately dug in to create this fun Trick or Treat Shadow Box Card.  Take a peek...



The Odds & Ends are one of my all-time favorite Doodlebug embellishments.  They make it so easy to create cards and layouts.  I started with the little girl in the kitty costume and the black kitty Doodlepop... because black kitties are my favorite ... I added a night sky scene and some pumpkins along with the little bat sticker from the Icon Sticker Sheet to create a fun Halloween scene.  I finished it off with some of the Halloween Night Star shaped sprinkles and a sentiment from the Chit Chat pieces.  

This collection has my mind in a whirl... so many projects, so little time!  I can't wait to create more!  Have you created anything with Candy Carnival?  Be sure to tag Doodlebug Design on Facebook and Instagram...we would love to see your projects!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

Doodlebug Design | I ❤️ Travel Cut Files

The Doodlebug Design I ❤️ Travel Cut Files are now available in the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop!  As soon as I saw the Cell Phone File, I knew I had to make a card with it!  It's just too cute!  I decided to make a shaped card with a sweet sentiment...take a peek...


I pieced it together using papers from the I ❤️ Travel, Dot Stripe Petite Prints and Floral Graph Petite Prints Collections.  The speech bubble with my sentiment is from the Booville Cut Files Collection.  To complete the card I added a Sprinkle for the home button and a heart sprinkle from the My Happy Place Shape Sprinkles.  This would be the perfect card for a good friend, or even as a thank you note!

Lori Whitlock | Fall Decorated Gift Bag

Happy Monday everyone!  If you haven't looked recently, Lori Whitlock has created a number of new box & bag cut files.  I love these files because they can be decorated for any occasion!  I made the new Gift Bag with Magnet Velcro Handle (SVG, Silhouette) to hold a gift card for a friend.  I decorated it with one of her new flowers, Rolled Flower 48 (SVG, Silhouette) for a fun fall look.


 I love how the flower looks like a fall chrysanthemum!  I used Echo Park's My Favorite Fall Collection to piece this all together.  For more gift packaging ideas, check out the new Bag Box and Gift Card Holder Bundle in the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop!


All of these files are also available individually in Lori's SVG Shop and in the Silhouette Store.  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

Doodlebug Design | School Days Desk Calendar

Well school has finally started here in Massachusetts.  I have so many friends that are teachers, they  are all back full swing, meeting their new students and waking up so early!! I was thinking of them when I created this cute little perpetual calendar.  I though it would be fun to put on their desks, and change up each day.  Take a peek...


The calendar base is actually a side step card I modified to look like a chalkboard.  You can download the card base with easel Silhouette from my blog here.   I added a bunch of the icons from the Odds & Ends and the School Supplies Shaped Sprinkles to the right "steps", and then went to work on the calendar.


For the months I cut 1/2" strips of the graph side of the Spelling Bee Paper and added Teensy Type Letters in various colors.  They attach to the card base using 3/8" Velcro circles.   For the dates I cut 3/4" x 1 1/2" pieces of the loose leaf paper side of the School Days Paper and added Skinny Type letters in Blue Jean.  They clip to the calendar using a mini clothespin which I glued on using glossy accents for extra strength.


To hold all of the month and number pieces I added a little pocket to the back of the card base.  I thought this would be a great way to brighten a teacher's day!  Have you created anything using the School Days Collection?  Be sure to tag Doodlebug Design on Facebook & Instagram, we would love to see your creations!

That's all for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!
