Doodlebug Design | Hippity Hoppity/Hoppy Easter Box Cards

Easter will be here before we know it!  I got a head start on some fun Easter Cards using both the Hoppy Easter and Hippity Hoppity Doodle Stamps and Doodle Cuts.  These sets go so well together, it's easy to create fun little scenes.  Take a peek...

For my first card, I mixed the cute little bunnies and Egg Hunt sign from the Hoppy Easter Doodle Stamps with the trees and fence from the Hippity Hoppity Doodle Stamps.  The cloud paper is from the Spring Things Collection, and is called April Showers.  This is one of my all time favorite paper!  I think I may have bought about 20 sheets worth!!!  The grass was made from citrus Gingham Linen Petite Prints.

I just love those little bunnies peeking out from the grass!  For my next card I got to use my all time favorite Doodlebug stamp.... the adorable little bunnies in the punch buggy car from the Hippity Hoppity Stamps.  I set up a scene where they were driving through the trees.  

The little bunnies peeking out the back window... they are just too cute!!  And I think that a pink punch buggy would be awesome!

Doodlebug Design | Great Outdoors Pop Dot Cards Tutorial

I have always loved creating projects with lots of dimension... whether it be a 3d project, layout or card! I also love making little "scenes" with all of the adorable Doodlebug icons.  I decided to combine all of my loves using the Great Outdoors Collection along with the Great Outdoors Doodle Stamps to create some fun pop dot cards!  Take a peek...

I started with the adorable bear and fishy from the Great Outdoors Doodle Stamps.  I find coloring so relaxing!!!!  I layered on some of the pine trees and a night sky using papers from the 6x6 pad for my grass, sky and water.  To finish, I added the Happy Bear-thday sentiment from the Chit Chat pieces.

When you look closely, you can see all of the dimension in the card.

Next I made a sweet little card using the Moose and bunny stamps.  I added some mountains in the background, along with more of the pine trees.

And here is a close up of the card's layers...

Would you like to make some pop dot cards of your own?  I have a quick tutorial showing how I pieced them together.  To start, I created some cut files for the base of the cards.  You can get them on my blog here.  If you don't have a cutter, you can still make them.  The dimensions of the base pieces are as follows...

White Cardstock - (cut 3) 4.25" x 5.5" rectangle - with a 3.25" circle cut from the center.

White Cardstock - Card Base 8.5" x 5.5" - Fold in half

Patterned Cardstock - 4" x 5.25 rectangle - with a 3.5" circle cut from the center

On the left are the white pieces that make up the card base.  For each layer I cut some of the Great Outdoors 6x6 papers to create waves and grassy hills.  I also added a piece of the stars paper to the card base.  It will show through the holes in the layers.  I added my stamped pieces to each layer.  On the right you can see how I attached the patterned papers to the backs.  A good way to see where you want to add all of your images is to stack the layers before you assemble your card so you can see how everything lines up.

Next you want to start adding your layers to create your scene.  I started with the back-most piece with the trees and grass.  I added pop dots (you can use foam tape, or nothing if you prefer)  I centered this piece on my main card base and attached.

I then added the 2nd layer directly on top of the first, making sure everything was lined up.  There are pop dots between these layers.  To end, I added the 3rd layer, also with pop dots.  To finish I added the chit chat sentiment to the card front.

This cards can be mailed, but you will need a slightly larger envelope to mail if you've added pop dots.  If you have a cut file for an A2 Envelope I would size it up slightly to accommodate the layers, or you could use a 5x7 envelope.

The best part is that you can use any of your Doodlebug Doodle Stamps or even the Icon and Mini Icon Stickers to create fun little scenes with these bases!  If you do use the files along with your Doodlebug collections, be sure to tag us on Facebook & Instagram.  We love to see your creations.  That's it for me today, thank you for stopping by to peek!

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!

Doodlebug Design | Special Delivery Baby Stats Frame

One of my favorite gifts I received when my daughter was born was a sweet frame with all of her birth stats.  It made such a cute decoration in her room.  Now when there's a special new little in our life, I love to make a baby stats frame for the new parents.  As soon as I saw the Special Delivery Collection, I knew I was going to use it to make one for a new little guy!  Check it out...

I started with the gray & white checked side of the Choo-Choo paper for my background. I printed the baby's name & stats along the bottom of the paper.  I then cut some train cars that I designed to look like the choo-choo train odds & ends from some of the other papers in the collection.  The cut files for these weren't available when I created this, but they are now in the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop here.  I filled the cars with some of the adorable little critters from the Odds & Ends.  Here are some close ups.

I added some sprinkles to the wheels for a little dimension.  And of course I can't give a gift without a cute little card!  I used the new Toy Box Stamps and dies to make this card.  The sentiment was stamped on a piece I cut using the Doodle Cuts Mini Tags and attached with a couple of mini brads.

Now all I need to do is get this all in the mail to the new parents!  Have you made any projects using Special Delivery?  Be sure to tag Doodlebug Design on Facebook and Instagram.  We love to see your creations!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

Doodlebug Design | Hey Cupcake Tag Mini Album

Have you seen all of the fun new Doodle Cuts from Doodlebug Design?  They come in some fun shapes and are perfect for cardmaking and scrapbooking!  I used a bunch of the new dies to create this tag mini album.  My daughter spent last summer working and living in NYC.  She celebrated her 21st Birthday there... which actually turned into a month of celebrations.  Lucky for me she shared lots of pictures, (and honestly I stole some from Instagram, lol) which I printed up for this fun mini.  Take a peek...

I used the big tag from the Large Tags Doodle Cuts as the base of my album.  I printed my photos about 1.75" square, which was the perfect size to fit the tags and leave room for some embellishments.  The papers and embellishments are from the adorable Hey Cupcake Collection.

For my cover, I added one of the Nesting Scallops Doodle Cuts to frame my title.  The Happy stamp is from the Happy Birthday Doodle Stamps, and the cute little champagne bottle is from the Occasions Holidays Doodle Stamp set.  Here are some close-ups of the inside pages...

The stickers from the mini icons sheet were the perfect size to decorate my tags.  I also added stickers from the This and That sheet and some Chit Chat pieces.  The wine glasses stamp is from the Occasions Everyday Doodle Stamps set.

The Borders and Edges Doodle Cut dies were an easy way to embellish my tags.  I also added a few of the smaller tags from the Mini Tags Doodle Cuts in between my larger tags for embellishment.  My favorite is the clear shaker tag I made by cutting 2 of the larger tags from a sheet protector, stitching and filling with some Doodlebug Sequins.

To complete the album, I created a little tassel using some Doodlebug Chunky Twine.  My daughter loved this little collection of pictures.  Tag minis are really a great way to scrap a small number of photos.  They make great gifts too!

You can really make so many different types of projects with the new  Doodle Cuts and Doodle Stamps.  They are good for planners, cards, scrapbook pages.... just about anything you can think of!  If you've used them in your projects, be sure to tag Doodlebug Design on Facebook and Instagram.  We love to see your creations!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

Doodlebug Design | Party Animal Doodle Stamps Gift Set

Have you seen the new Hey Cupcake Party Animal - Girl Doodle Stamps??  Seriously they are everything a girl could ask for....kitties, hedgehogs, llamas...  I'm in love.  As soon as my box arrived, I pulled them out and set to work!  I put together this sweet little birthday set... take a peek...

I thought it would be cute to put together a fun "social distancing" birthday card.  The kitty, hedgehog and balloon are from the Party Animal Girl stamp set, and the flowers are from the new Birthday Girl Stamp set. (I added some glitter sprinkles to some of the centers) I love how the happy birthday sentiment was the perfect size to fit in the balloon!  I used the new Borders and Edges Dies to make the curtain and the line for the grass below.

I also decorated a little gift bag as well to go along with my card.  Of course I had to pick another kitty stamp!  I love the balloon kitty on the Hey Cupcake Birthday Bash paper so I copied the look using the stamps.  The clouds are from the Rainbows and Unicorns Stamp set.

Aren't the stamp images just the cutest?  Would you like to make your own gift set?  I created SVG files for the Window Card and the Cute Bag and they are available exclusively in the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop.  If you create something with them, be sure to tag Doodlebug Design on Facebook or Instagram, we love to see your projects!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

Doodlebug Design | Doodle-Stamped Desk Calendar

Every year I try to make a cute little desk calendar.  Of course they always feature Doodlebug goodies!  This year I decided to make one using some of the many fun Doodlebug Stamp Sets!  Of course I started late this year, so my calendar starts with February and goes though January of next year... but that works for me!  Take a peek...

I created a 4x6 PDF of the months and printed them on good quality paper for stamping.  ( I use Neenah paper )  I stamped each month with a feature image from the various Doodlebug Stamps and to some I added additional, small stamped images.  I backed the calendars on papers from a few different 6x6 Doodlebug Paper Pads.  The clip frame is from Michaels.  Here are different months...

It looks so cute on my desk!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!
