DOCTOR FOR A DAY - Doodlebug Designs

If both your parents work in the medical field, then you are bound to try to be like them in a way or another.   So, when the new HAPPY HEALING collection arrived at my doorstep, I knew exactly which pictures of my littlest Goddaughter I was going to use for my first project.

I just love how this turned out!, but let me walk you on how I built this page using the new collection. There are so many cute embellishments, I focus on them for  my page.

I started with one of the coordinating solid cardstock from the collection as a base, and frame it with the Happy Heart paper.   Then, trimmed a small strip of the Happy Healing patterned paper and adhere to the base as an anchor  for my photos.

Then it was  all about going through the Bits and Pieces, Odds & Ends for embellishments for the page.  I wanted to create a column of  embellishments that will just bring the fun to this page.

I have to say that the silver foiling in this collection is amazing!   Once I  had all the embellishments in a column., I added small puffy hearts around the embellishments.

To finish my page, I pulled pieces of Chit Chat and Bits and pieces to create the title of my page.  The silver alpha stickers are just a great compliment to the title of this layout.

I  just love how this turned out!  The fun designs, the colors, the silver foiling, and the cute pictures are just so perfect together.  I cannot wait to see what you create with the new HAPPY HEALING collection!

Pinkfresh Studio “Delightful” Release Blog Hop

 

Hi there! 

Welcome to PINKFRESH STUDIO "DELIGHTFUL" RELEASE BLOG HOP.   We are celebrating all the new beautiful products with lots of inspiration and prizes.   

With so many  beautiful products to choose from, it was so easy to combine a few of them into this layout

I am combining the new JOYFUL DAY Press Plate and NEVER GIVE UP suite along with the Making The Best Of It collection (Spanish version) in my layout, and I love how it turned out!

I used the NEVER GIVE UP Press Plate, NEVER GIVE UP Stencil, NEVER GIVE UP die, and Premium inks in shades of pink and mint to create 3 florals, as I wanted to create a large swag for my page.

Next, I cut a circle of about 7" from the center of a 8.5x11" white cardstock page, and glued it to dusk pink cardstock.  I then set the florals as if they were coming off the inside of the left of the circle.

Next, I set the photo to the right of the circle.   In order to elongate the swag throughout the page, I used the JOYFUL DAY Press plate, and  JOYFUL DAY die  to create a few leaf die cuts 

I added a few of the JOYFUL DAY die cuts along the florals to complete the fullness of the swag.  I then added a few embellishments to complete the page.

I hope this inspires you to check all the new products in this release.  You are going to love all the possibilities!!

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

Pinkfresh Studio February 2024 “Pure Joy” Release

 

Hi there!

Welcome to PINKFRESH STUDIO FEBRUARY 2024 "PURE JOY" RELEASE.  We are celebrating this amazing release with lots of inspiration and prizes.   You can find a list of all the participants at the bottom of this post for your convenience

There are so many beautiful products available in this release, and it was super fun and tricky to just choose a few to play with.   I settled for the Dotted Petals Press Plate and  Cherry Blossoms die for this layout:

I just love the combination of these two products in this layout.  The movement in the Cherry Blossom die cuts was the inspiration for this page.

For all my die cuts, I am only using the Cherry Blossom die, but varying the colors of the flowers and leaves.  I used coordinating cardstock in shades of pink, blush, and peach to create all my flowers.  Then two shades of green and brown  to create the stems and leaves.

I wanted a soft look for the flowers and a soft change in the colors for this page.  It was fun to put this together.

Next, it was all about building the background.  For this, I chose the Dotted Petals Press Plate. Using Detail Black Ink, I created two panels on Pinkfresh Studio Watercolor paper ( soon to be available).   I carefully trim around the panel so that I can have that scalloped edge around it.   My idea was to have it in the center of the page, so, I cut one of the panel in half and set them in a straight line across the patterned paper.

Next, I used the Cherry Die cuts to weave them down the vertical column of Dotted Petal panels.  I made sure to use just one color of Cherry Blossoms per section.   Next came the photo, and a few embellishments from Lovely Blooms, and  Garden Bouquet collections.  OF course, I needed a pop of gold, so, I used Metallic Gold pearls around the page.

I just love how this turned out! And I hope it inspires you to check the entire release, it truly is amazing!!

To celebrate the new release, Pinkfresh Studio is hosting a generous giveaway

1. They will be giving away the full release on their blog and YouTube channel (one full release on each post)

2.  They are also giving away ten $25 gift cards along the hop.  As per usual with blog hops - the winner will be picked from the comments.

LOVE YOU - Doodlebug Design

 February is not over, so we keep celebrating love and all the lovable things in our lives.  For me, it is probably my sweet baby boy, aka our 13yr old Boston Terrier.   So, what better way than to use the fun LOTS OF LOVE collection for it.

I started with cutting two hearts from the patterned papers ( I drew a heart on copy paper, and used it as a template for the patterned paper hearts).   I wanted contrasting, but simple designs so that they will stand out on the page.

I set them on an offset at the center of  my base and then frame the entire page with a contrasting paper.  I added a bit of foam adhesive behind the corners of the hearts to add dimension to the page.   I added my photo next at the junction of the two hearts.

I am using all the flowers that I could find to embellish my layouts.   The flower swag was just perfect for adding details to the edges of the hearts.  I then added larger clusters of Bits and Pieces to the top of the hearts

I added small phrase stickers to each of the clusters, and a few sprinkles to just complete the cluster.   I then added a few extra embellishments to my photo.  The cute stamp washi tape is amazing!!

To finish the page, I used Chit Chat pieces to create my title.  I added a few extra stickers to make the title pop a little bit more, and completely balance my page.

I hope this gives you some inspiration for your next project with the beautiful LOTS OF LOVE collection.  Cannot wait to see what you create!
