Doodlebug Design: So Much Pun Cards

I can not pass on  a good pun... so when So Much Pun arrived, I dug right in!  My family thought I was crazy... they could hear me laughing from the other side of the house as I sorted through all of the funny puns!  I picked a few of my favorites and set to making some easel cards... take a peek...

As soon as I saw the adorable aliens in the So Much Pun Odds & Ends I thought of a saucer flying through the air.  I decided an easel card with an opening would be the best way to make this happen...

The stars on the Far Out Cardstock made the perfect backdrop. I attached the flying saucer with some monofilament thread so he looks like he's flying.  

I finished the card off with a cute little saying from the Chit Chat Pieces and those adorable sprinkle stars from the Out of This World Shaped Sprinkles.

My next card featured what I think might be my favorite icon from the whole collection... THE SLOTH!!!  He is just too stinking cute!

I stuck with the easel card design, but for this one, I opened both sides of the easel and added some grass and trees using the new Dot Stripe Rainbow Petite Prints 6x6 Pad to the back side of the easel to add dimension.  I think the Best I Ever Plaid paper is my favorite of the collection!  I finished the card with a few of the flowers from the Otterly Adorable Shaped Sprinkles.  Here is a close up...

My last card features another one of my favorite icons... the Otter!!!  I just love his sweet whiskers!  I also used the Dotty side of the Sweet Stuff Cardstock.

I created some waves using the bubble blue paper from the Dot Stripe Rainbow Petite Prints 6x6 Pad and had him float on them holding a Rainbow Heart Shaped Sprinkle.  To the back side of the Easel I added the Sun from the Odds & Ends and made a cloud with some Lily White Sprinkles Vellum.  Here is a close up...

All of these cards fold flat for mailing...

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

Doodlebug Design: Mix and Match Christmas Tree

Hi Everyone!  I'm up on the Doodlebug Blog today  with my take on the Mix & Match Challenge!  One of my favorite things about Doodlebug collections is that you can always mix and match to fit your project!  I mixed 3 different Christmas Collections to make this fun tree...

To make the tree I used the SVGCuts Heirloom Christmas Tree.  It reminded me of the ceramic tree we used to have growing up!!  The tree itself was made using Tree Festival Double Sided Cardstock from the Milk & Cookies Collection. The base of the tree was made using Holly Days Double Sided Cardstock from the Sugarplums Collection and the plaid paper panels are made from the Holiday Cheer Paper from the 2013 Home for the Holidays Collection.  It doesn't matter that they are 3 different collections spread over 4 years, they all coordinate perfectly!  Here is the tree lit up, (yes, it even lights like the old ceramic tree!) and some close ups of the ornaments I made using some Shaped Sprinkles and Cute Clips!

The star was made from some Sugar Coated Cardstock in Bumblebee.

To make the ornaments, I either wrapped some jewelry wire around the shape or glued the wire to the back.  I used the Sugarplums Shaped Sprinkles, Candy Cane Shaped Sprinkles, Lily White Snowflakes Shaped Sprinkles and some Mini Hearts Cute Clips to decorate the tree.

It looks so pretty all lit up!  Be sure to drop by the Doodlebug Blog next week to get more Mix and Match Inspiration!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

Doodlebug Design: Yankee Doodle Project

Hi Everyone!   I always love the Doodlebug Design patriotic collections and Yankee Doodle does not disappoint!  As soon as I saw it, I knew what I was going to make... take a peek...

These 3-D Letters are from Lori Whitlock's SVG Shop.  I used some of the fun patterned papers to form the base of the letters and the decorative panels.  I then embellished them using some of the Odds & Ends and Shaped Sprinkles.  Here are some close-ups...

My favorite parts of the Yankee Doodle Collection are the silver accents... they add just the right touch of shine!  

The new Yankee Doodle Patriotic Posies Shaped Sprinkes are just too cute!  

And the acetate Odds & Ends are the perfect embellishments!  I just loved the fire works!  This collection is perfect for the 4th of July projects, military projects and even everyday celebrations!   Stop by the Doodlebug Design blog  for more Yankee Doodle Inspiration!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!
