Lori Whitlock | 5x7 Grid Pop Up Card Penguin

Happy New Year everyone!  Now that all of the holiday presents are opened... it's time to send out some thank you  cards!  Luckily there's a new 5x7 Grid Pop Up Card Winter Bundle in the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop.  Each card comes with two options for a sentiment, one saying Happy Winter, the other saying Thank you Snow Much!  I put together the adorable 5x7 Grid Pop Up Card Penguin (SVG, Silhouette)  Take a peek...

How cute is is sweet face? I added some glitter glaze to my snowflakes to gift my card some sparkle.  The papers are Petite Prints from Doodlebug Design.

These cards fold flat to fit into an A7 (5.25 x 7.25) envelope.

Now to make a whole bunch to send out!  I hope that you all have a happy and healthy 2023!

Doodlebug Design | Petite Prints Leprechaun Hats

With St. Patrick's Day right around the corner, I was curious... what do you call a group of leprechauns?  Is it a pack, like wolves?  Or maybe a murder, like crows?  I did finally google this question and though there is no official name, one person suggested that they be called a "Luck" of leprechauns, which I thought was perfect!  

I'm attending an in-person crop which starts on St. Patrick's Day, and wanted to make a little something special for my friends.  I came up with these cute little Leprechaun hat treat holders.  I got the original idea from a cut file I saw that was a wrap used to decorate a little paper cup.  I didn't have any paper cups so I decided to make my own.  Take a peek...

To make the hats, I started with this Coffee Cup SVG file from Lori Whitlock.  I deleted the cover and wrap pieces.  I then resized the body of the cup to be 3.25" high.  I pieced together the cup using some Gingham Linen Limeade Petite Prints. For the hat base I cut a circle about 3.125" in diameter.  For the black band I cut a strip Beetle Black Daisy Stripe Petite Prints approx. 0.5" x 6.5" and wrapped it around the bottom of the hat.  To finish I used the buckle piece from the Happy Go Lucky Leprechaun Hat SVG.

I love the Petite prints, not only because they match all of Doodlebug's Collections, but you can get a different look by just flipping the paper over!  The two hats below were made from the same exact papers, just the opposite sides!

The fun part was decorating the hats with cute little shamrocks from the Happy Go Lucky Shamrocks SVG.  For the little tag, I printed out Irish Kisses & Shamrock Wishes on some Limeade Floral Graph Petite Prints, sized to fit on the tag from the Tiny Tags Doodle Cuts, cut them out and finished them with some Doodle Twine.   (the inside area of the tag is approx .75" x 1.25")

Now for the reason behind my first question about naming a group of Leprechauns... I created a bunch of these little hats, and just needed to know!

Wishing you all a little Luck O' the Irish this St. Patrick's Day!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

Doodlebug Design | Fun at the Park Waterfall Mini Album

Happy Monday everyone!  While the Doodlebug design team (im) patiently waits for the fabulous new Great Outdoors Collection to arrive, we have some fun projects for you featuring some of our favorite collections!  I was excited to be able to play with the Fun at the Park Collection again... I just love all the fun colors and icons!  I thought a mini album would be fun, so I created this little folio type album with waterfall features that hold a bunch of small photos. 

I started with a simple cover, which I covered in the Mini Dot paper.  I decorated the cover with the Adventure Awaits Castle Doodlepop ... I love the acrylic elements on the pop!  I finished the cover with a string tie using some Beetle Black Doodle Twine.

When you open the album, it has two sides, each with a waterfall element.  I thought this would be a fun way to display your favorite vacation photos.  Each side holds 4 square photos.  I created the waterfall using a metal die in my stash, and papers and stickers from the collection.  Here are some close-ups of the individual flip pages...

I cut some tags from the Luggage Tags Cut Apart Cardstock and added them to my pull tabs... they were the perfect size!

I thought this would be a fun way to document some of your favorite photos from Disney!  Be sure to check back all of this week for more design team favorites!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

Doodlebug Design | Petite Prints and Cut Files

The Doodlebug Design Team is featuring some of their all time favorite Doodlebug goodies this round, and I have to say, hands down, my favorite Doodlebug Basics are Petite Prints!  They are great to use as fillers on scrapbooking layouts and cards and they always match the collections perfectly!  I combined them with some Doodlebug Cut files to create this fun, summery card... take a peek...

It is summer here in New England, so of course, we make margaritas!  How cute is the smiling blender?? I started with the Made With Love Blender File.  I used a variety of petite prints to make the files look just like the sweet icons in the Odds & Ends pack.  I love how I can duplicate the original colors!  

I also used some sprinkles for the cheeks! On the front of the card, I added the Sweet Summer Strawberry Margarita glass along with the strawberry.  It's great that you can get different tones of the Doodlebug color palette by using both sides of the petite prints like I did with the strawberry.

If you would like a general tutorial on how I converted the flat file to the 3D Box Card, this post from a couple of years ago will give you a good idea.

Doodlebug Design | Apron Gift Card Holder

I have always loved cooking, and my daughter has inherited that love.  She will be moving to NYC in a couple of months to work and do some post grad schooling, and she's very excDited to have her own kitchen.  I thought it would be fun to give her a gift card for kitchen stuff, and wanted to "package" it up in a cute way.  I came up with this fun card, take a peek...

I cut the apron using the Papertrey Ink In Stitches Apron Dies and some Pistachio Petite prints.  I stitched around the edges and stitched on the pocket.  

To decorate, I added some Odds & Ends from the Simply Spring and Bundle of Joy Collections.  For my sentiment, I used the All Occasion Doodle Stamps.

A little ribbon for the ties and done!  I know she will be excited to get some goodies for her kitchen! That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

Doodlebug Design | Kitten in a Cup

If you're a cat lover like me, you probably fell in love with the Doodlebug Design Kitten Smitten Collection from a few years ago.  I'm happy to "revisit" that collection often (in fact I may be hoarding some of it in my stash!)   The same goes for the Kitten Smitten Cut files.  I played with the cut files recently and designed this fun box card... a kitten in a teacup.. could it be any cuter?

The tea bag tag is blank in the card so I decided to use two stamps from the the new Love You Stamp set to add a sentiment.

If you haven't seen the new Occasions Stamp Sets, you're in for a treat!  There are SO many different sentiments in all sizes and fonts... you can mix and match with all of the Doodlebug Stamp sets to make a card for any occasion!

My card even folds flat to fit in a 5x7 envelope.

I created an SVG file for this card and it is available exclusively in the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop here.

Here is a quick assembly tutorial for the card...

1)  Start by cutting the pieces of the card.  Stamp a sentiment on the tag if desired.

2)  Glue the cat face onto the insert piece.  The black piece goes behind the face to show through the eyes and mouth.  Add the hearts and paws to the cup.  I used some foam tape behind the paws to give them some dimension.  Fold the "box" into shape and glue.

3)  Add the cup front and back to the box.  Fold the tabs on the kitty insert and add adhesive to the tabs.

4)  Slide the kitty insert into the box.  It should be flush with the bottom of the card.  Press the tabs to the sides of the box to adhere.

All that's left is to send the card off to your favorite crazy cat lady (or man....)!

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