Doodlebug Design | Land That I Love Envelope Box Card

I love the 4th of July.  We usually get together with friends to celebrate and watch the fireworks on our boat.  It's always such a great time !  So of when I got a chance to play with some Land That I Love collection I thought it would be fun to create a fireworks card.  Take a peek...

For the base of my card I altered one of Lori Whitlock's Envelope Box Card Files.   I made the base from some of the Hip Hop Hooray and the graph side of the America the Beautiful papers. Then I started to work decorating it!

For the fireworks I combined stickers from both the Icon and Mini Icon sheets.  I love that they are different sizes!  The flags are from the Odds & Ends Pack.

And of course I had to have someone setting off the fireworks!  I love the little Sammy eagle DoodlePop... I thought he added the perfect amount of dimension and his little beak is adorable..  I have him holding one of the fireworks from the Firecrackers DoodlePops.  Yes, I used DoodlePops!  Usually I just like to hoard them!

For my sentiment I combined the July 4th from the Mini Icon Stickers and the happy sticker from the This and That Sheet.

Now if I remember to mail the card I'll be in good shape!  In celebration of the 4th of July, I'm having a fun Doodlebug Giveaway over on my Instagram account... @ekskou.  Head on over to enter to win a Land that I love prize!  If you've created any projects with Land that I Love, be sure to tag Doodlebug Design on Facebook and Instagram, we love to see what you make!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge 16: You're a Cool Friend

Hi Everyone!  My friend and I got together again this month to play along with the latest Lawn Fawnatics Challenge 16, to use the oldest Lawn Fawn Set in my stash.  My oldest set is the 2011 Set Making Frosty Friends... still one of my all time favorites.  Here is the card I made using the set...

I just love these cute little snowmen!  I made a little scene with the snowmen using the Stitched Hillside Backdrop Portrait Dies.  I paper-pieced the scarves and ear muffs using papers from the Perfectly Plaid Chill, and Knit Picky Paper packs.  To finish it, I embossed some of the snowflakes from the stamp set and added some Stickles to the hillside.  

You can play along with Challenge 16 through November 19th.  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

How cute is this?  I used Doodlebug Design's Gingham Linen Petite Prints, and I embossed some of the cacti to give them a more realistic look.  To finish it, I added an enamel dot to the center of the flower.  This card could be used for almost anything, birthday, thank you, just because, "stuck on you"... you can add whatever sentiment suits your needs!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!
