Doodlebug Design | Candy Carnival Shadow Box Treat Bag

Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays... I mean let's face it, any holiday that's centered around getting candy... how can you not love it??  Even more fun is candy in cute packaging.  The Doodlebug Design Candy Carnival Collection makes this easy!

How fun is this little shadow box treat bag?  I cut the bag from the Ring Toss Paper using a the Lawn Fawn Goodie Bag die.  I then cut a window in one side of the bag and covered it with acetate. I made a little scene using the pumpkins and moon from the Happy Halloween Stamp set and placed it behind the window using some foam tape to give it dimension.  All that was left was to fill the bag with some treats and tie it closed with some Doodle twine!  And of course I added the little spider stamp... Doodlebug spiders are the ONLY kind of spiders I like! 

We would love to see your projects featuring Candy Carnival!  Be sure to tag Doodlebug Design on Facebook and Instagram!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

Doodlebug Design: At The Zoo Nursery Frames

Hi Everyone!  Today I have some fun shadowbox frames I made to give to a friend who is having a little boy this summer using some Doodlebug Design's At the Zoo collection!  As soon as I saw the adorable Odds & Ends critters from this collection, I knew they'd be perfect for decorating a nursery!  Take a peek...

I started with this 6x6 Shadowbox Frame cut file, and some Doodlebug Lily White Textured Cardstock to make the frames.  I then added paper from the At the Zoo 6 x 6 Paper Pad for the backgrounds.  They fit perfectly into the frame opening!  Now for the fun part, I chose a few of the critters and other shapes from the At the Zoo Odds & Ends pack to add to the frames!  I popped the pieces up with some foam tape to give them a little more dimension, and added some Zoo Assortment Matte Sprinkles to complete the look.  Here are some close-ups...

The frames have string on their tops to hang them, or since they are made completely from paper, they're light enough to be hung with museum putty.  I couldn't just give her the frames without a card, so I made a step card to add to the gift.  The sun is from the Fun in the Sun cut files available in the Silhouette store here and in the Lori Whitlock SVG shop here.  The stickers are from the At the Zoo Icon Sticker Sheet and some Bumble Bee Teensy Type Stickers.

I can't wait to give these to my friend!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

Doodlebug Design: Fun in the Sun Project

Hi Everyone!  Today I have a fun décor project I created using the FABULOUS new Fun in the Sun Collection from Doodlebug Design!  When I first saw this collection I knew I had about 1,000 pictures that would be perfect, but then I read the quote in the project and knew I had to use it!  Take a peek...

 

This shadowbox is made completely from paper! I used Lori Whitlock's 11.3" Square Shadowbox cut file and my silhouette to create it!  The main body of the box is made from some Doodlebug Textured Cardstock in Lily White, I then set out to decorate it using all the fabulous goodies in the Fun in the Sun Collection!

 

Using my Silhouette, I cut the Flamingo and Palm Tree.  The B-side of the Flock of Flamingo's Paper was the perfect pink for my Flamingo!  I added in a little Cupcake Swiss Dot Cardstock to make the wing. I couldn't resist the sunglasses stickers from the Fun in the Sun Icons Sheet!  I added a couple of sprinkles from the Paradise Shaped Sprinkles to the edges.  The palm trees on the B-side of the Polka dot Party Paper were perfect to make the leaves of my palm tree along with some Limeade Swiss Dot Cardstock!!

 

 

By far my favorite new Doodlebug Product is the packet of Odds and Ends!  There are so many pieces to play with and add to embellishment clusters!  I used most of the flowers and leaves, as well as the sun & cloud.  I still have almost a full package!  They are fabulous!

My words were created using some Cupcake and Lily White Skinny Type Stickers.  I was so happy that this project looks like I had envisioned!  I can't wait to hang it on my craft room wall!  That's it for me today, be sure to stop by the Doodlebug Blog the rest of this week and all next week for more Fun in the Sun inspiration!  Thanks for stopping by to peek!

 

 

Paper Issues: Pinspire Me Monday

It's Pinspire me day over on the Paper Issues Blog today!  Shannon Morgan put together this fabulous Pinspiration board to jump start our creativity!!

 

 

I, of course, can not resist a snowman...so I combined some of my favorite things....a fun shadowbox card by Lori Whitlock from the Silhouette Store (here) and some Frosty Friends goodies from Doodlebug Design!

I changed Lori's design slightly.  First I used one of the patterned papers from Frosty Friends for my background, and in place of her adorable snowman, I added one of the Doodlebug Snowmen from the Mix and Match Snowman Craft Kit.  Best of all, this card folds flat so I can send it off to a friend!  Make sure to stop by the Paper Issues Blog to see the other pinspired projects!  If you create something using this board, make sure to show it to us on the Paper Issues Facebook Page!  That's it for me today!  Thanks so much for stopping by!
