SHAKER CARDS - Doodlebug Design

I think all of us love all the cute Doodle Pops, especially the shaker ones.  But, now we can make them ourselves with the new  Doodlebug Shakers Balls.   What can I say, besides there are infinite possibilities with them.  My first choice was to create a few cards with them:

I pulled my Doodle Cuts Nested Scallops, Bunny Hop collection, the Easter Card set, and foam adhesive!

I started by using the large die to cut  the shape out of patterned paper and also a few pieces of white cardstock.   I stacked and glued them together, with a piece of acetate between them.   Then I used foam adhesive to create a close circle around the open space.   I filled the shaker with the Flowers Shaker, the adhere the die cut to the card.   I added a piece of Chit Chat and Bits and Pieces to complete the card.

I used the left over piece of the die cut to  create  my next card.  I adhere a piece of acetate to the back of the die cut piece, then added foam adhesive to create a dam for all the shaker pieces.  I mixed a few colors of shakers, then secured it to the card.   I added a sentiment and a simple sentiment and embellishment to complete this card.

For the last card, I used the flower shape of the  die set to cut 9 pieces from white cardstock, and three from  patterned paper.   I sandwiched acetate pieces between two layers of the die cuts to get  3 of each of the colors.  Next, I filled the color die cuts with solid color shakers, and the white die cuts with the flower shakers.  These are adhere to a white card in alternate form.   Finally, I added a small sentiment to complete this card.

I cannot wait to keep on creating with the new shakers  I  have so many ideas just waiting to come together.  Cannot wait to  see what you create!!

EASTER FAMILY FUN - Doodlebug Design

Time is passing so fast, and we are all getting ready to celebrate Easter!   Though my kids are not little anymore, I still have so many memories of all the times they loved all things bunny for this holiday.  So, I pulled a few pictures and the fun BUNNY HOP collection to create this layout.

 I wanted to pull colors and patterns to my layout, so the idea of creating a sunburst design just popped in my mind.

I pulled some 12x12 paper pieces and 6x6 Paper Pad pieces, and trimmed them into long triangles.   I made sure that I had two of each  -for most of them-, and then started playing with them to create   the formation you see in the photo..

I set them on white cardstock, making sure that they sat on the top right quarter of the page.   I used a bit of foam adhesive to raise the ends of each triangle; this help to separate them bringing texture, dimension and interest to the page.

I added one of the border stickers to the edge of the sunburst formation, this helps to encase the papers. Then, I set the photos at the junction of all the paper tips ( the photos are framed with a paper from the 6x6 paper pad).   I added a few stickers to the top left corner of the photos  following the line of the paper strips.

To balance the page, I am using the bottom left quarter of the page to create my title.  Here I mixed pieces from the Chit Chat pack and a few stickers. I made sure that the title was long so it sat under the photos.  I added  a few Sprinkles throughout the page, making sure they helped to bring your eye to specific areas of the page.

I love how this turned out, and it was so much fun to play with paper for this design. I hope it inspires you to use the BUNNY HOP collection for your next project!

BUNNY SMILES

It has been  a long winter season, and  I am so looking forward to a change of weather and Easter.   So, when the new BUNNY HOP collection arrived, I quickly pulled the perfect pictures to document with this beautiful collection.

How cute is this!!  I had an idea of weaving paper for a page, and when I saw the  color stripes in  the Bunny Hop paper, I  quickly put this together.

I trimmed just one strip of each of the colors in the Bunny Hop paper, then weaved then on slight angle.  I glued them onto white cardstock, and trimmed the excess white cardstock.   I framed the page with the Everything Easter paper.

First, I set my title in place.  For this, I mixed Chit Chat with Gold Alphabet Soup  to create my title, and placed it in the top left quarter of the page,   I combined a few pieces Bits and Pieces with stickers to add a small floral cluster here.

Next, I cut two tags and used them as layers behind my photo.   I set them on my page on an offset following the angle  of the paper strip.  I repeated the flower cluster and a few extra stickers.

Next, I added one last cluster at the left bottom corner of the photos.   I pulled two bunny die cuts and added a  few extra details to this cluster.  I completed my page with a few Sprinkles

I love how this turned out, and I cannot wait to continue using the beautiful BUNNY HOP collection to document my memories
