SPOILED - Doodlebug Design

Hey there!  I don't know about you, but the fur babies in our households are "spoiled".   My cat-nephew, "Chico", is probably one of the most loved and spoiled   ones out there.  So, I used the beautiful Pretty Kitty collection to create this layout:

I love playing with paper, so I sat with the 6x6 paper pad, and a pair of scissors to create this page, like  seriously that is all it took!

I started by cutting a heart from copy paper, then cut strips of patterned paper at about 1.5-3in wide and of different lengths.  I started gluing them to the heart starting from the bottom of the heart.   I set the paper strips at different places on the heart, so that they create that cascading effect on the heart.

Petite Prints are always my top choice for backgrounds. This  time, I added a letter size white cardstock page to the center of the layout, then glued the heart on top of it.   A soft layer of vellum adds just a bit of separation while framing the pictures of our Chico.

The Chit-Chat banners were the perfect addition to the paper layers.. I added a small paw print next to each of them.   In order to create some movement on the page, and also emphasize the layers, I added a few Sprinkles between the paper layers.

I followed the line of the embellishments to create the placement of my title at the right bottom of the heart.  

I love how this turned out, and  it was so much fun and relaxing to just play with all the patterns in the Pretty Kitty collection.  Be sure to check it out!

Pinkfresh Studio April 2023 Stamp, Die, Stencil, and Hot Foil Release

 

Hi there!

Welcome to PINKFRESH STUDIO APRIL 2023 STAMP, DIE, STENCIL, and HOT FOIL RELEASE blog hop.  Today, I am happy to join in the celebration of  the April release with lots of inspiration, and of course prizes!

I love this release, and mixed a few of the new goodies in this new  layout all about my Quinceanera niece.

I mixed the new Rosette suite, Wrap Around Elements Die, Sweet Day Suite, and Foiled Sentiments 6 along with Pinkfresh Studio inks, and a bit of Spring Vibes collection in this layout!

I used the new Rosette Stencil and Pinkfresh Studio inks to create my rainbow rosettes.  Then used the Rosette Die to cut them out.  I used foiled cardstock to cut the centers of the rosettes and this way bring a bit of shine to my page.

I set them at the top on  my 11x11in background using a bit of foam adhesive to add some dimension to the page.

Next, I used the new Wrap Around Elements Die to create a few "strings" that wrap around the bottom of the page.   This created the perfect spot for my photos.

To create my title work, I used the new Sweet Day Hot Foil Plate to create my cake element. I added the details using the coordinating Sweet Day Stencil and Sweet Day Stamp, then cut it using the Sweet Day die.    I added the small foiled bow (created with the Wrap Around Elements die and foiled cardstock).  To finish, I added one of the new Foiled Sentiments 6 pieces below the cake, and a few extra sparkle pieces around the page.

I just love how this turned out, and I am sure that you all are making a wish list filled with all these new goodies.  But, as Pinkfresh Studio is celebrating this new release, they are also hosting a generous giveaway!

Here are the prizes up for grabs:

Pinkfresh Studio March 2023 Washi, Stamp, Die, and Stencil Release

 

Hi there!

Welcome to PINKFRESH STUDIO MARCH 2023 WASHI, STAMP, DIE, and STENCIL RELEASE.   Today, we are celebrating this amazing new release that is filled with beautiful washi roll suites, and the most ingenious dies.   

I chose the new Tuberose Washi Tape roll, Rounded Braided Rectangle Die, A2 Slider Die, and the Foiled sentiments 5 for my project:

I love the colors in the new Tuberose Washi tape, and having the coordinating die - Tuberose die - make it so easy to create embellishments for my 6x8 spread.

Since I am documenting my nephew's 10th birthday celebration, I pulled papers from Spring Vibes to help me with the pocket spread.   I carefully used the new Rounded Braided Rectangle die to create my journal cards ( using negative and positive pieces) along with a few of the Tuberose washi florals.

I was so excited to play with the new A2 Slider Die, the possibilities it brings to crafting are just mind blowing.   In my case, it helped to add more photos without overcrowding the page.

I added one of the new Foiled Sentiments to complete the title card in the A2 insert of the spread. However, I chose to complete the page by using the back of the A2 Slide card to tie the spread together.

I glued the two A2 Slider card together to create my insert.  I chose to  large cluster of the Tuberose washi florals as focus of the  insert, and added a large foiled sentiment to help as a title for the spread.  

I followed the same format at my previous page for this pocket spread.  However, I am choosing to encase my journaling in a pocket ( the journaling card is made from the packaging of the Spring Vibes collection). I am using the Rounded and Braided Rectangle die to create the pocket for my spread.

I added a few Small Butterflies embossed images , as well as embellishments from Chrysanthemum and Spring Vibes  to complete the spread.   Just love how it all turned out!

Now to celebrate the release, Pinkfresh Studio is hosting a generous giveaway:

1.  They will be giving away the full release on the Pinkfresh Studio blog and YouTube Channel.

2.  In addition, they will be giving a total of ten $25 gift cards along the hop.   As per usual, the winners will be picked from the comments left in each stop.
