2 Cute Birthday Cards with Doodlebug Design

Hi Artsy Albums friends!  I have a few family birthdays coming up so, I decided to make some quick and easy cards. These took less than 30 minutes to make so next time you need a cute card, don't go buy one! Pull out your crafty stash and have fun!

I cut one sheet of 8 1/2 x 11" white card stock in half so that I had two 5 1/2 x 8 1/2" pieces.  I folded each piece in half to create two A2 size (4 1/4 x 5 1/2") card bases. Then, I added background paper from Doodlebug's Party Time and Hey Cupcake collections.

I also lined my envelope with the cute plaid pattern before I searched my stash of Doodle-pops for the perfect embellishment. I decided on the Birthday Boy (6636) because I loved his little party hat and lollipop.  

 

For this one, I used Birthday Princess (6635).  The borders across the bottom of each card came from the back of the plaid patterns, and the sentiments are found in the Chit Chat for each collection.

Pick up some Doodlebug Party Time and Hey Cupcake (links below) and have fun making some birthday cards! Don't over-think it ... whatever you create, the person who receives your card will love it because you made it!

12x12 Autumn Layout with Doodlebug Pumpkin Spice #1

Hello Doodlebug friends! Is it just me or is pumpkin spice everywhere? I love it! There's pumpkin spice lattes, ice cream, cereal, yogurt, oatmeal, lip balm, candy, bologna (yeah, you heard me), toothpaste and ... wait for it ... pumpkin spice deodorant. Who knew?!

So, I'm happy to say I'm adding a little pumpkin spice to my blog! Today, I'm sharing page 1 of a double-page layout using Doodlebug's new Pumpkin Spice Collection. You can see page 2 here.

This page was perfect for some family pics that we took during a fun day at the park. I used the new Buffalo Check paper in Kraft as a base, added white card stock and then created a mat for my photos using the Kraft Wood Grain paper. 

Now for the fun details! Um, how cute is that mushroom border?! I love that they all look like they're standing at attention, lol! That had to be on my page so, I ran it across the bottom and to balance the top, I added a scalloped striped sticker from the This and That sheet.

 

 

This would be a great page for a hay ride, a nature hike, a visit to an apple orchard, pictures of an afternoon baking a pumpkin pie, roasting marshmallows, or a campfire in the backyard with friends. 

 

And btw ... love that adorable Doodle-Pops fox sitting on my chit chat title and those tiny shiny mushrooms! So cute!

You know I love my sprinkles so I added tiny dots around the corners for a little zip and those adorable leaves ... well, just because they make me happy. This page would be really cute for pictures of the kiddos jumping in a pile of leaves!

Whether it's outdoor fun with friends or family time inside hope this gave you a bit of autumn inspiration. For everyone who likes two-page spreads, please check back for the companion page in a few weeks. Thanks for stopping by!
