Doodlebug Design | Pencil Pumpkin Patch

Halloween is almost here!  I still haven't purchased candy.... but I have a cute project that would be a perfect little gift for the kids, friends or even for the classroom!  Take a peek...

How cute are these little pumpkin pencil toppers??  I used the 3 pumpkin SVGs from the Doodlebug Design Candy Carnival SVG files available in the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop.  I pieced them together using a combination of the Doodlebug Candy Carnival Collection and some Petite Prints. 

I added a few of the spider stickers from the Candy Carnival Mini Icons Stickers to embellish.

The pumpkins are attached to the pencil by this little Pencil topper base that I created.   You could attach almost anything to the pencils using this, such as stickers from the Icons Sheet or Odds & Ends Pieces.  These would make great classroom gifts if you're looking for a candy-free alternative.  All you need are some cute pencils which you can get online or at your local craft or office supply store.  You can download the pencil topper base for free here.  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

Doodlebug Design | Candy Carnival Cut File Nugget Wraps

When my daughter was in grade school, I used to love making fun treats to send in to her class for Halloween.  I decided that this tradition didn't need to stop just because she is away at college.  This year I came up with these cute little Nugget Candy Holders using the Candy Carnival Cut files that are available in the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop.  Take a peek...

These little holders are really easy to make.  You start with a 4.5"x 1.5" strip of paper.  You then score it at 1.5", 2.5" and 4".  

That allows you to fold it into a little triangle with a fold over flap.  A Nugget Candy fits perfectly in the bottom, and you can secure it in there with a glue dot.  All that was left was to decorate the front with one of the cute little cut files!

If you also would like to cover the candy bars themselves like I did in the first photo, just cut a 1" x 3" strip of coordinating paper and wrap it around the candy and secure with adhesive.  Have you made any projects using the new Candy Carnival Cut Files ?  Be sure to tag Doodlebug Design on Facebook and Instagram, we would love to see your creations!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

Lori Whitlock | Purr-fect Halloween Card

Only 15 more days until Halloween!!  Have you bought your candy yet?  I'm putting that off until last minute so I'm not tempted to sneak a few for myself!  I did make some Halloween Cards, including this "purr-fect" card... Lori Whitlock's Pop Up Box Card Halloween Cat (SVG, Silhouette).

All papers and embellishments are from Doodlebug Design's Candy Carnival and Petite Prints Collections.  I changed the design slightly... adding some green and pink papers behind the kitty's face and I also added some silly enamel dot eyes to the spider.  It's such a fun card, I can't wait to send it out!  Have you made any of  Lori's Halloween cards or projects?  Be sure to tag her on Facebook and Instagram, we would love to see your creations!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

Doodlebug Design | Candy Carnival Pop Dot Card

I am having so much fun with the Doodlebug Design Candy Carnival Collection.  The little stickers and Odds & Ends are just so cute, they inspire so many ideas!  I love making little scenes with them, like the one in this pop dot card, take a peek...

I started with the Booville Fat Pumpkin SVG file to make the base.  I separated the different layers with pop dots to give the card dimension.  I added stickers from the Icons Sticker Sheet, the mini icons and some of the stars from the Halloween Night Sprinkles.  I finished it with a the little Halloween tag from the Chit Chat pieces.

Lori Whitlock | Gift Bag

Have you seen the new sticker sets in the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop?  There are 2 new Birthday Sets (Birthday Stickers (SVG, Silhouette), Birthday Stickers 2 (SVG, Silhouette)) and a new set of Fall Stickers (SVG, Silhouette).  These stickers can be used for a number of different projects... in addition to planners, you can use them on cards, gift bags, etc.  Individual stickers can be resized... larger for a gift bag for instance or you can print a few of the same stickers to make cards in multiples.  I used the new fall stickers to decorate a little gift bag.  Take a peek...

I used Echo Park Paper's My Favorite Fall to make the bag, along with Lori's Gift Bag with Scallop Handle (SVG, Silhouette).  Head over to Lori's Blog to see a tutorial showing how to print and cut stickers for various projects.

Have a great day!

Doodlebug Design | Candy Carnival Easel Card

Happy World Cardmaking Day! Are you creating today?  I’m celebrating with Doodlebug Design today!  It's October, that means cool weather, cider and pumpkin carving!  I don't have any littles at home anymore, but I still love to carve pumpkins.  Pumpkin guts aside, it's a fun activity!  My goal is to carve a pumpkin that is as cute as the little jack-o-lanterns on the Doodlebug Design Candy Carnival Icons Sticker Sheet... we will see how that goes this year! For now, I used cute little pumpkins to make an easel card for Halloween... take a peek...

I created a Silhouette Cut file for the base of this card, (you can download the file I created here) and pieced it together using some Petite prints and the Plaid side of the Prize Wheel paper. I just love the colors in the plaid!!!  I made a little pumpkin patch scene using stickers from the Icons Sheet and added a little spider web and spider at the top of the card.  The sentiment is from the Candy Carnival Chit Chat pieces.  The card actually folds flat to send along to a friend!  If you make any projects using Candy Carnival, be sure to tag Doodlebug Design on Facebook & Instagram.  We love to see what you create!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek.
