Doodlebug Design | Bugs & Kisses Cards

I love to color.  Ever since I was little, coloring was a favorite activity.  A fresh new box of crayons... with all the fun colors (and built in sharpener!), not much could make me happier!  These days I've switched to Copics, but the joy is still the same.  The new Bugs & Kisses Stamps also make me very happy... the ladybugs, frogs, bees.... absolutely adorable! I spent a whole afternoon coloring these sweet little images.   Mixed with some papers from the Fairy Garden 6x6 pad and you have a recipe for some fun cards.  Take a peek...

For my sentiments, I used the Alex Alphabet Doodle Cuts.  I love the long, skinny look of these letters!  They are perfect for cards!  Here are some close-ups...

I always envision these cute little buggies hanging around a meadow of wildflowers, so I added some of the floral stamps from the Fairy Garden Doodle Stamp set.  My favorites are the tall holly-hocks!

And the little mushrooms are so fun.  I added some dots to the top of some of them using a white jelly roll pen.

And of course I needed at least one "punny" card!  That little bumblebee... could he BEE any cuter?

Doodlebug Design | Fairy Garden Box Cards

I am so excited to be kicking off a few weeks of Fairy Garden inspiration on the Doodlebug Design Blog!  As soon as I saw this collection, I fell in love with all of the adorable little icons... the fairies, the mushrooms... and all of those cute little bugs!!  I've always said... only Doodlebug can make a cute bug!  Along with some of the papers in the collection, I decided to use the new Fairy Garden and Bugs & Kisses Doodle Stamps to make some fun box cards. Take a peek...

As I mentioned... I just love the little bugs in the Bugs & Kisses Doodle Stamps!  I decided to make a card featuring them in a meadow.  The flower and mushroom stamps made it easy to create a sweet little scene!  I used some Gingham Linen Petite Prints for the grass and the clouds side of the Glow Bugs Paper for my background.  I will be stocking up on this paper... it's perfect for creating scenes and making backgrounds!

Here's a close up of those cute little critters!

Just as the bugs love hanging in the meadow, I though those adorable little Fairies from the Fairy Garden Doodle Stamps would love hanging out in the clouds!  I created this fun card featuring them floating about.  The sun stamp is from the Hippity Hoppity Doodle Stamps.

How cute are those fairies??!!  I already have more cards planned using both of these Doodle Stamp Sets... they are absolutely adorable!  Have you created any projects using the Fairy Garden Collection and Doodle Stamps? Be sure to tag Doodlebug Design on Facebook and Instagram, we love to see your projects!  Also, be sure to stop by the blog over the next couple of weeks for more Fairy Garden inspiration.  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!
