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 | Made with Love Oven Cookie Box

I love to bake.  Cookies, cakes, bars... what's not to like?  So needless to say, the Made with Love collection is right up my alley!  Last year I made a fun little oven card (see post here) and I thought it would be fun to make a 3D Version using the collection that could double as a gift box for a little something sweet... take a peek...

I created the box by combining a cut file from Lori Whitlock with the So Much Pun Stove SVG.  It took some manipulation, but I think it looks like the little stove icon in the Made with Love Collection!

I made a little plate to hold some of the Bake Me Happy Cookie Shaped Sprinkles, and added a couple of the Icon Stickers to the stove back, because who doesn't have 12 things lined up on the back of their stove?

The oven door is made from a piece of transparency so you can peek in and see what's baking.

And the door opens out so you can get to the goodies inside.  To finish it off, I plan on including the recipe for my cookies on one of the new Made with Love Recipe Cards!

Have you created a fun project using the Made with Love Collection?  Be sure to tag Doodlebug Design on Facebook & Instagram.  We love to see your creations!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek.

I made Lori's new Valentine's Mailbox 2 file!  It's so cute and it can hold a little treat!

The papers and heart sprinkles are from Doodlebug Design's So Punny Collection.

I put together a quick tutorial showing how to assemble the mailbox.

1. Cut pieces and add decorative panels to the mailbox base and door. I added 1/4" score tape to the tabs.

2. Add the door to the mailbox base by tucking the tab to the back of the base piece and securing with adhesive.

3. Use the edge of your table or a dowel to curl the mailbox top, and adhere to mailbox base.  Add the handle by inserting into slots and gluing in place.

4.  Add the bottom piece to the mail box base, folding the mailbox base around it and securing.  Fold up the final side of the mailbox and secure.

5. Add the top shoot inside support piece inside the box, flush with the bottom score line of the mailbox opening.

6.  Bring mailbox top up and around the top of the base, gluing the tabs inside the box to complete.

Doodlebug Design | Pumpkin Party Treat Box

I just love Halloween... it's such a fun time, and there is candy!! ( I have no will power...)  And what better way to package up a sweet treat than with some Pumpkin Party goodies!  I made this cute little house to hold some treats for a friend, take a peek...

I started with this file from Lori Whitlock for the house and tree shapes.  I constructed the house using the Midnight Masquerade and Party Plaid Papers.  I added some Dot-Stripe Petite Prints in Beetle Black, Lilac and Citrus for the Tree, Roof and Trim.

Now for the fun part!  I embellished the house with goodies from the Icons Sticker Sheet and the Odds & Ends!  Here are some close-ups...

I just love that kitty!!!!

As a final touch I added one of the Silly Spiders Shaped Sprinkles to the chimney!

The bottom of the box opens up to hold some sweet treats!
