Doodlebug Collectible Pin Wall Display

Hi everyone!  It's Traci and I'm back to share another project for my craft room with you.  As you may remember from my last post (wall calendar with Daily Doodles), I recently moved into a new craft space and I'm having lots of fun adding things to my walls.  So when the pin challenge came up, I decided to create some wall displays that I can add to as I collect more pins.

This is a 12x12 display. I started with a piece of white card stock and layered the following pieces on top: (some product links below)

Pistachio Gingham Prints 11 3/4" x 11 3/4" (product link below)
Spring-A-Ling double-sided card stock 11 1/2" x 11 1/2"
Bubblegum Gingham Prints (product link below) -- cut on my CAMEO machine. (This is an offset of the cutting file).
White card stock -- cut on my CAMEO machine.  Link Square Lace Background 11" square
May Flowers Dot paper -- cut into 2" squares and adhered behind each square.

I adhered everything to a piece of 12x12 corrugated cardboard cut from a packing box.

Once I pushed each pin through the paper and card board, I attached the pin's original card with the pin backing.  This is so I can remember the names, but also so that I don't lose the original card.

I added my display to a white 12x12 shadowbox frame (link below). I used this one because it has adjustable inserts to change depth as needed.

I went ahead and made two more frames for my room because I know I'll be adding more pins to my collection.  

Thanks for checking out my project today!  Be sure to check back next week, when the team will have more project ideas for these adorable collectible pins!

Doodlebug Magnetic Wall Calendar

Hi friends! Today, I'm sharing my Doodlebug Calendar Challenge project with you. I've been needing a visual reminder of due dates and to do lists on the wall near my desk. So, when I learned about this design team challenge, I was excited to create a large magnetic calendar for my room. 

To make this, I adhered 5 sheets of 12x12 Daily Doodles calendar paper and 1 sheet of Lots of Love double-sided cardstock to the front of a 24"x36" magnetic board purchased from an office supply store. I started out with 6 calendar sheets, but then decided to add the cute print for lists. (Product links below.)

I made custom labels for each of my lists and matted them on the Petite Prints Linen and Gingham in Stone Gray. Then, I glued them directly onto the 12x12 print at the top of each section.

 

 

Although I wanted my calendar to have glass on the front, I quickly realized that the magnets wouldn't work through glass, so I moved on to 12x12 sheets of clear acetate (link below). Before adhering my acetate over the calendar pages, I added a few stickers that I wanted permanently under the plastic. Then, using tiny glue dots in each corner, I attached the 6 sheets of acetate over each calendar and the list sheet. 

 

I used the Daily Doodles month stickers (link below) to create magnetic labels for each page. I added a piece of heavy magnetic tape to the back of each so they can be changed out as needed.

 

I added more magnetic tape to some die cuts and stickers from the Spring Things and Cream and Sugar collections but ... you could use ANY collection. They look so cute decorating the different spaces.

I used a black dry erase marker to add the dates, events, and all my notes and reminders in the bottom section. These can easily be wiped off and updated!

To finish it off, I added glitter sprinkles on top of the acetate to dress up my list labels. Then, I used some pretty blue washi tape around the edge of the frame.

Keep in mind ... you can use ANY collection for this project. Have fun with it and mix and match die cuts, prints, and stickers depending on the month or season.  

I hope I've inspired you with some creative and wonderful Doodlebug products. Have a great day!
