Doodlebug Design - Fun in the Sun

Hi everyone! Today I'm  sharing some cute cards using the new Fun in the Sun Collection from Doodlebug Design.   I am so excited about some of the new products that were added with this release.  I just love all the fun die cuts int he Odds & Ends pack.    Each pack contains 94 pieces....they perfect for making cards and for adding to pages.   Another one of my favorite things, is the new sentiment strips.

Here are a few cards I made with a combination of the two.

I used some of the Create A Card bases for my cards.  I love all the different styles and how they coordinate with all the collections.  For this card, I added some stickers from the Icons Sticker Sheet, one of the sentiment strips and a few Odds & Ends.   I love how easy it is to put a card together with these elements.  

For this card, I added in another one of the newly release products...Labels & Tags!  Love them!  The cacti in this collection are a perfect fit for the "stuck on you" sentiment.  

For my last card,  I used two of the pineapples from the Odds & Ends pack paired up with the "Aloha" sentiment strip.  

I'm in love with this new collection.  Just in time for scrapping all her Summer vacation pictures.

Bella Blvd + Craftwell + Tombow Designer Team Up

Hi everyone!  Bella Blvd is having a week long team uip with Craftwell and Tombow.  Craftwell send us their Ebrush System to use with the Tombow markers.  I had so much fun playing with these fun products.

I knew right away I wanted to try a rainbow card.  The Bella Blvd - Just Add Color Collection was a perfect fit for the Ebrush.

I masked off my card to exposed 7/8" strips and then added color with the Ebrush.  Next, I trimmed rectangles from white cardstock and applied the alpha to create my sentiment and popped those up with foam dots.

My second card was inspired by the paint splatters on the Color Chaos Collection.   I die cut the "Hello" from white card stock using my Silhouette Cameo.  I used the eBrush to add color to the panel and then backed it with black.

For my final project, I used the Ebrush and a stencil cut with my Cameo to add a cute cupcake to a muslin bag.  I embellished with a Bella Bow, some Enamel Dots and DooDads and a sticker.  This would be a fun way to give a gift card or small gift.  

Head on over to the Bella Blvd Blog to check out more beautiful projects! 

Bella Blvd - Focus on the Campout Collection

Hi everyone!  Today on the Bella Blvd. blog, we have the focus on the Campout Collection.   This is one of my favorite collections.    

For my first card, I used a 2" x  2" card from the Daily Details sheet.  I matted it with red card stock and cut this cute file with my Cameo to create a background.

I used foam dots to adhere one of the wave layers to give my card more dimension. 

My second card is designed around these adorable little fish.  I just love them! 

I used another one of the 2 x 2 cards and embellished with a chipboard fish and some hearts.
