Doodlebug Treat Bags

Hey everyone! Today I am sharing a couple cute little cards I made with the awesome Doodlebug treat bags. They are the perfect size to hold a gift card and I know a lot of families having babies right now so I dove head first into the Sugar & Spice and Snips & Snails Collections. 

I love how quick and easy it is to pull cards together with some Doodlebug paper, embellishments and a couple of metal dies! These cards took no time at all. 

I trimmed down the treat bags by cutting a bit off the top then dressed it up using a tag, paper bow (made using a die from My Creative Time) and some Doodlebug cardstock stickers. 

I cut a piece of cardstock that would fit perfectly into the treat bag and used a gift card holder die (Jaded Blossom) to add the perfect spot to place a gift card. 

To add dimension to my cards, I used foam stickers to adhere the stickers and treat bag. 

The treat bags come in a variety of super fun colors and patterns that coordinate with tons of the Doodlebug collections. 

These treat bags are so fun and I can think of so many ways they can be used! My next project with them will be an advent calendar so stay tuned! Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you have been inspired! 

Dude You are Awesome

Hey friends!! It has been a long time since I have posted a project on my blog that was not a design team project!! At this point I am a member of the Doodlebug Design Team and have one more month left on the Pebbles Inc Design Team. In the past few months I have had to cut down on my crafty responsibilities so I could devote more attention to my personal life. While I am really starting to miss the girls on the DTs, I am enjoying a bit of crafty freedom and able to create what and when it's fitting, with whatever supplies I choose. 

For the past few months I haven't been in much of a crafting "mood" but these past few days I am loving being back in my craftroom. I have a few Paper Smooches stamp sets that I love but really haven't had the chance to play with so yesterday I sat down with them and got creative!  

I am loving the little dinos in the Cuteasaurus stamp set!! They are so fun to color. 

I used sentiments from a couple different sets to create one fun sentiment that would work great for a boy. 

I used foam stickers to make the dino and the rocks stand out on the card. 

I am entering this card over at this weeks SPARKS challenge over at Paper Smooches. I have a looooong wishlist over there and would love to snag a gift certificate!! Especially since the sneaks of the new releases look amazing! 

Here is what I used to make my card...

- Paper Smooches Cuteasaurus stamp set

- Paper Smooches Word Salad stamp set

- Jaded Blossom Ticket Dies

- My Creative Time Border Dies

- Doodlebug Day to Day patterned paper and Sprinkles

Pebbles Inc - Father`s Day Treat

The colors in the Americana collection remind me of old vintage Coca-Cola and I thought this inspiration would be a great place to start for a little Father’s Day card and treat. I found a really neat glass cup shaped like a pop can in the dollarstore and made a shape card that mimicked the same style of can.

Since the initial can card I made was fairly plain, I decided to add some interest and detail using some  of the fun elements that match the American Collection, like the printed cardstock shapes. I used some stamps from Jaded Blossom as part of my sentiment then added ‘Pops’ to the bottom with the super sparkly crimson thickers.

Using dies from My Creative Time, I cut out two stars from the 6x6 paper pad and used a clothespin to hold the stars together with a bow.

I thought it would be really fun to fill my matching cola can cup with coke bottle candies.

I used some cone shaped treat bags, also from Jaded Blossom, filled them with candies and tied the bag at the top using some hemp twine and two more stars cut from patterned paper.

I hope my project using Americana has sparked some inspiration for a gift for one of the dads in your life! Happy crafting!

MICHELLE THE BIRTHDAY GIRL!

Thank You From all of Us

Hey crafty friends!! Today is my very last post as a member of the Jaded Blossom Design Team.... I am super sad and have had such a great time as part of this awesome team!! I will continue to stalk the JB girls to see what great things they continue to come out with!! Thanks for being so great for the past year! 

Today I have a really fun, bright Thank You card to share! 

The new Kind Thanks stamp set is my new favorite and I can tell I am going to use it so much. It has the perfect Thank You sentiment for any occasion! 

I used some die cut flowers from Doodlebug to design my own flowers and adhered them together using pop dots to create fun dimension. 

This card is going to be for the teacher of my daughter's Playschool class and I love that this sentiment includes "from all of us". It's so hard to find a sentiment that works for a group of people! 

Check out the Kind Thanks stamp set in the store HERE and the sequins I used HERE! 

I hope you were inspired by my card today! 

Thanks for stopping by!!
