Doodlebug Design: Flea Market Cut Files

Hi Everyone!  I have another fun project featuring some FABULOUS Flea Market Cut Files available in the Silhouette Design Store!  I was so excited to realize that with these new cut files, I could create Doodlebug critters and embellishments in ANY SIZE I wanted!!  These were perfect for the bulletin board outside my daughter's dorm room.  Every room has one, and the girls can decorate them as they wish.  So of course we supersized some of the files!  Here's what I cut...

It's hard to tell from the picture, but that fox is almost a foot tall!  Here are some close ups of the different files.

Leaves

Fox

Pumpkins and Acorn

I pieced them together using Gingham-Linen Petite Prints, Swiss Dot Petite Prints and some older Dot-Grid Petite Prints.  I can't wait to send them to her!!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

Doodlebug Design: Here Comes Santa Claus Cut Files

Hi Everyone!  Today I have some fun projects using the fabulous new Doodlebug Design Here Comes Santa Cut files that are available in the Silhouette Store and in SVG format in the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop!  Take a peek...

 

 

How cute are these Santas??!!  They were perfect to decorate these K-Cup holders!  The holders hold either one or two K-Cups, which I filled with some fun Cocoa cups!  I thought these would make a fun gift!  I used some Doodlebug Textured Cardstock for the bases, some Here Comes Santa Claus Papers for the background and tags and some new Linen Petite Prints to piece together my Santas!  Here are some close-ups...

 

I just love that Santa on a Scooter (Silhouette, Lori Whitlock SVG Shop).  He is so fun, and the Standing Santa (Silhouette, Lori Whitlock SVG Shop) looks like he's ready to give a big hug!  Here is a side view of the holders.

 

 

I'm so excited for Doodlebug Cut files!  They bring Doodlebug Cuteness to a whole new level!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

 



Paper Issues: You Knock My Fox Off Issue

Hi Everyone!  It's time for round 2 of the You Knock My Fox Off Issue at Paper Issues!  What are we looking for??  Suggested idea are to use fox or woodland animal embellishments; create something about the people you love; have an element hang off the side of your project; fall or Halloween theme; photos of doors; or use the PI fox card on your project! I created this fall themed layout about my sweet girl for the Issue, take a peek...

 

I used the new Flea Market Collection from Doodlebug Design.  I think this might be my ALL TIME Favorite Doodlebug Collection!  I also created stitching templates using the new Doodlebug Design Flea Market cut files available in the Silhouette Store!  Click here for a tutorial showing how to make stitching templates from a cut file.  Here are some close-ups...

Doodlebug Design: Here Comes Santa Claus

Hi Everyone!  Today I have some fun photo cards using the Here Comes Santa Claus Collection!  Every year I send out about 100 Christmas cards.  I love photo cards, both sending and receiving!  It's so fun to see how every one's kids ( and pets ) have grown through the years.  I decided to create a few different versions this year...

The first card I created was a shaker style card.  I used some Doodlebug Sequins and some of the Snowflakes from the Icons Sticker Sheet to fill the shaker.  The sentiment is from the Santa Celebration Cardstock.  The little Snowman from the Odds and Ends and the ADORABLE little Red Robin mini Doodle pop complete the look!

My next card is a simple one, it has a pocket inside where you can slip in your photo.  I decorated it with the ornaments from the Odds and Ends and one of the Heart Cute Clips.   The sentiment is also from the Santa Celebration paper.

My last card is more of a fun instant photo type card.  I used the Merry Christmas Washi Tape for the sentiment and finished it off with the Standing Santa Sticker from the Icons Sticker Sheet and a present from the Odds and Ends.

Now something for you!  I created Silhouette cut files for each of these cards!  You can make your own base cards and decorate them with the Here Comes Santa Claus Papers, Stickers and Odds and Ends of your choice!  You can download the files from my blog here!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!
