Doodlebug Design | Lots of Love Rainbow Gift Set

We are having glimpses of spring here in New England... some warmer days and sunshine (also some snow and sleet.... but it is New England...).  I even saw a rainbow the other day, which made me very happy!  It inspired me to make a fun gift set featuring the Lots of Love Collection and SVG Files.  Take a peek...

I was inspired by the cute rainbow and rainbow envelope icons in the collection.  I love that this collection is so much more than a Valentine themed collection, it carries right into spring!


My envelope box card was inspired by the Lots of Love Envelope Rainbow SVG.  For the card base I edited this file from Lori Whitlock, then added the rainbow and cute little face to the card.  I finished it with some Odds & Ends and a Chit Chat speech bubble.


My rainbow box was made by creating a small open-top box and sizing the Lots of Love Rainbow 3 SVG to cover both sides.  I added a cloud from the Odds & Ends filled it with some gold wrapped truffles that I managed not to eat before my photo shoot, lol.  

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

Lori Whitlock | Baby Lion Rectangle Pop Up Card

We are at that point in life where our neighborhood is starting to turn over... younger couples moving in and lots and lots of new babies!!  I love all the babies, so of course, I'm very excited for my new little neighbors! So it was perfect timing for Lori to out with the new Rectangle Pop Up Card Baby Bundle.  I particularly loved the cute little Rectangle Pop Up Card Baby Lion (SVG, Silhouette) and made it for a new little one!  Take a peek...


I used papers from Doodlebug Design to piece this together.  This cute little card does fold flat for mailing ( I would use a 6" Square envelope ).  For an easy assembly tutorial, see Lori's Rectangle Pop Up Card video here.  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

Doodlebug Design | Lots of Love 3D Pay Phone Candy Dispenser

Hi Everyone!  Every time Doodlebug comes out with a new collection, I have a hard time picking my favorite icons.  They are all so cute, and their little smiles just make me happy!  With the Lots of Love Collection however, I immediately fell in love with the cute payphone!  I thought it would be fun to make a 3D version... with a little surprise!  Take a peek...


And "ta-da!" the bottom opens out to reveal some sweet treats!


The phone base is made up of 2 boxes that I created... a rectangle for the top an a dispenser box for the bottom.  I used the embellishments from the Lots of Love Wall Telephone SVG for the face, dial and coin slots.




For the phone, I resized this round box from Lori Whitlock and attached them with a strip.  For the cord, I used some fabric stiffener on some Chunky Twine and wrapped it around a straw.  When it dried, it stayed in a spiral.


I also added a small Velcro dot to keep the candy dispenser closed.  I always love it when a final project is just as I've envisioned!

Doodlebug Design | Lots of Love Cute-Tea Treat Cups

I was so excited to get my Doodlebug Lots of Love Box!  This collection is so cute... Doodlebug Valentine Collections are always among my favorites!  When I saw the sweet, little, smiling cups in the Odds & Ends I knew I wanted to make a 3D version to fill with treats.  Take a peek...


I altered a round box file from Lori Whitlock to make the cup.  I added a fun little handle and a strip around the top.  The faces are from the Lots of Love Cocoa SVG file.  The little heart was cut using the a heart from the Love Notes Doodle Cuts.  Here are some close ups...



I added a shaped heart sprinkle from the With all My Heart Shaped sprinkles to the paper heart and some regular sprinkles for the cheeks.


I wanted to add a little tag to each gift.  I used the Love Notes Doodle Cuts to cut the envelope and hole punched paper.  The sentiment is from the Treat Yourself Doodle Stamps.  To finish it up I added the cute little tea bags from the Odds & Ends and a smiling heart from the Happy Hearts shaped sprinkles. I tied it to the treat bags with some doodle twine.




I can't wait to send them off to my "little" Valentine and her roommate!  Have you made any projects using the new Lots of Love Collection?  Be sure to tag Doodlebug Design on Facebook and Instagram, we always love to see your creations!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek.

Doodlebug Design | Let it Snow-Arctic Friends Box Cards

Winter is here in the Northeast!  I have a couple of friends celebrating birthdays this month, so I thought I'd use the Let it Snow Collection along with the Arctic Friends Doodle Stamps to make some fun box cards!


I love making dimensional scenes in my box cards.  For my first card, I created the card base using dies from my stash (MFT).  I then added adorable little polar bear from the Arctic Friends Doodle Stamps, a few trees from the Winter Wonderland Doodle Stamps and the mountains from the Great Outdoors Set.  The sentiment is from the Arctic Friends set, and is perfect for my friend's birthday!



For my next card, I stamped and colored the cute little sea creatures in the Arctic Friends Set.  They are all so cute, but I do think that little Narwhal is my favorite!  I added them to some snow mounds and waves along with the fishies!



These stamps are just perfect for winter cardmaking, and I love that the Let it Snow Collection can be used for more than just the holidays!  Have you made any projects using the Let it Snow Collection, or the new Arctic Friends Stamps?  Be sure to tag Doodlebug Design on Facebook and Instagram, we always love to see what you create!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!
