Doodlebug Happy Go Lucky Gift Set

Hi everyone!  I'm excited to be back over on Doodlebug's blog today to share a cute gift idea using their new Happy-Go-Lucky collection.  For my project I made a teacher's gift set.  Here are the details:

To start, I used white card stock and "Happy-Go-Lucky" pattern paper to create a small gift box.  I used a cutting file by Alaa'K  and tied ribbon through the holes in the corners.  

I love Doodlebug's cards so I used two of them in my project.  I used a limeaid A6 swiss dot card, and for my sticky note holder I used a limeaid slim filigree card.  

To create the sticky note holder:

Lay your slim filigree card open with the bracket shape to the left.  Using the measurements on your score board (or a ruler), create 4 score lines as shown below (1 3/4", 2", 5" and 5 1/4").  Ignore the original score line as you will cover this up with pattern paper.  Next, cut the end of the card off so that your new card is 8 1/4" long.  

Add pattern paper and a button with twine to the outside, and glue a sticky note pad on the inside.

  

For the pen, I wrapped limeaid swiss dot washi tape around the pen and cut and layered flowers out of pattern paper for the top.  A cute limeade boutique button and bubblegum twine finished off the pen.

What's a gift without a bit of chocolate right?  So I wrapped 1" pattern paper strips around chocolate nugget candies and tucked them into a bubblegum striped treat bag.  

I hope I've inspired you to create your own gift sets!  Thanks for stopping by!

A Celebration Mini Album with Websters Pages

Good morning friends,
Today's project share is a new mini I added in the shop yesterday.  The fun, soft colors in this collection are so happy, but I especially like the theme!

The title on the cover says "You Only Live Once....Celebrate".  There are a lot of kid-style birthday collections on the market, but rarely do you find one that is appropriate for girls like me who like to celebrate too!   This paper collection called Party Time! by Webster's Pages is perfect for adult celebrations, from birthdays to other party themes.

Some of the sayings throughout the mini album are "Forever Young", "So Much Fun", "Party Time", and "Dance Like Nobody is Watching".

This adorable mini is available in the shop in limited quantities -- DIY or pre-made.  Follow this link to purchase yours before they sell out:

Valentine Gift Set with Lori Whitlock Designs

With Christmas behind me, I'm getting some Valentine's gift sets done early.  I created this set for Lori Whitlock's blog today so I hope you'll visit her site to check out the details!

Also, if you missed my last post, scroll down to check out another one of Lori's cute cutting files that I used for a Doodlebug Design project :)

Doodlebug Lovebugs: Candy Box Mini Album

I'm so excited to be sharing my first design team project over on Doodlebug's blog today!  It was so much fun to create so hopefully it will inspire you .... here are the details.

For this project, I was inspired by Valentine candy boxes.  I decided to create my own heart shaped box using a cutting file designed by Lori Whitlock, some Silhouette brand chipboard, and lots of goodies from the Doodlebug Lovebugs collection.

For the box, I used my CAMEO to cut all the pieces out of chipboard and then pattern paper.  (I enlarged all pieces before cutting so that a 5.5" album would fit inside).  I assembled everything together with a strong liquid adhesive and then had fun creating the top of the box.  I used ladybug chippers for my title, along with with stickers, buttons, twine, and a few heart-shaped sprinkles.   I also used cupcake twine around the edge of the box to cover up the chipboard.

For the mini album, I cut 6 hearts out of white textured card stock, and then added layers of paper from the 6x6 Lovebugs paper pad.  I love that the prints are smaller, and the cut-apart cards are miniature -- they fit perfectly throughout my little album.

Thanks so much for letting me share with you today!!

Paper Crafting Fun at Artsy Albums

Hi Artsy Albums friends!  
I'm just hopping on the blog today to share some recent projects with you. Nothing makes me happier than a table full of cute, colorful paper and embellishments!  I just get lost in all the fun! 

First, is a winter page layout I created with some cute pictures of my son and niece.  Doodlebug's Frosty Friends collection was perfect for this layout.  I only had these two small photos so I created a collage using paper and embellies, and made a cute swirly sketch line with my CAMEO machine.  A few little enamel dots finished the page.  How cute are those snowmen?? ... and those kids :) !

For this little mini album, I used a Doodlebug chipboard album and Bella Blvd's cute Christmas Cheer paper.  I just love the candy cane stripe on the cover, and the snow globe peeking through the window.  

Thanks for stopping by my blog today and letting me share my fun projects with you!
