These mini bags are not just cute—they’re also super versatile! Fill them with candy, gift cards, small party favors, or even tuck in a handmade note. They’d be perfect for birthdays, thank-you gifts, classroom treats, or just because.
A Closer Look at Each Bag:
“Happy Bee-day” Bag:
This cheerful yellow bag starts with a yellow Textured cardstock base layered with a fun plaid patterned paper from the 6x8 paper pad. I added a scalloped circlet that is from the Doodle Cuts Nesting Scallops die cuts and stitched a white circle behind the star of the show—an adorable Bee Happy Doodlepop! Around him, I tucked in a couple of mushrooms, florals, and a leaf sticker for a sweet little garden scene. The “Happy Bee-day!” sentiment strip from the All the Things die cuts was paired with a couple of small white Puffy Sticker hearts. These make the perfect playful touch to finish it off.
“My Honey” Bag:
This one might be my favorite (shhh, don’t tell the others!). The background features bold diagonal stripes layered behind the scalloped circle. I placed the darling My Honey Doodlepop front and center, paired with a honey jar and his tiny bee friend. The die cut that says “my honey” adds just the right amount of sweetness, along with a few heart embellishments. Notice the little flower clothespin at the top? These are from the Mini Clothespins and tied with some Doodle Twine and a tiny flower from the Puffy Stickers.
“Cute as Can Bee” Bag:
This minty fresh bag was so fun to make! The star here is Honey Bees Shaker Pops (yes, SHA-KER!) with tiny yellow beads inside that wiggle when you shake it. I layered it over some black gingham 6x8 paper and framed it with the scalloped and stitched circle die cuts. A couple more bumble bees from the Doodlepop added some dimension and charm. I finished it off with the “cute as can bee” sentiment strip—because honestly, it really is!
Until next time—stay sweet, stay crafty, and bee happy!

Berry Sweet Cards and Tags
I had a great time crafting a set of handmade cards and tags using the Berry Sweet collection. With its bright colors, happy strawberries, and cheerful critters, this collection practically crafts itself. Let’s take a closer look at each piece and what I used to create it:
Card 1: Home Sweet Home:
This charming card features the cutest pink house die cut from the All the Things pack. I layered it over a red doily and a patterned circle from the 6x8 Paper Pad. A “Home Sweet Home” sentiment banner and a playful mouse from the Icon Stickers bring extra charm. I finished it off with a bow made from Doodle Twine and a few enamel dots for added texture.
Card 2: So Happy Together
I used layered rectangles of some of my favorite papers from the 6x8 Paper Pad to frame the adorable strawberry couple (from the All the Things ephemera). The “So Happy Together” card is actually a 3x4 cut-apart piece, and a little bird and daisy sticker from the Icon Stickers add sweet final touches.
Card 3: Love You Cupcake Tags
This card is actually two tags mounted onto a card base—each one featuring a cupcake topped with a strawberry and florals from the All the Things die cuts. I added a scalloped border sticker, from the This and That stickers, yellow Doodle Twine, and those irresistible mice from the Puffy Stickers. The “love you” sentiment is layered over a green polka dot paper and pink strawberry paper for extra sweetness.
Card 4: Just for You Berry Truck
The blue gingham berry truck from All the Things steals the show here! I used floral and red dot papers from the 6x8 Paper Pad, and the red polka dot strip grounds the design. A cute mouse reaches for a strawberry in the back of the truck, and a “Just for You” banner finishes it off. A bit of yellow Doodle Twine wraps it all up!
Card 5: Berry Best Friends Grid Card
I created a 4-square grid on a red polka dot background to showcase four different berry-themed scenes from the All the Things and Icon Stickers. There’s a berry basket, a teacup filled with fruit, and the sweetest little mouse. A “Berry Best Friends” banner and hearts from the All the Things complete this playful card.
I also made 4 tags with some large white tags from my stash. I love making tags because I love playing with all the layers and all of the embellishments with the Berry Sweet collection.
Here are some brief descriptions of each of the tags:
Tag 1: Hello Berry Basket Prize Ribbon:
This tag features a crepe paper rosette base layered over a pink tag from the Tag Paper. I used crepe paper for added dimension, a green polka dot paper tail, and a “hello” sentiment from the All the Things. The smiling berry basket from the This and That stickers sits center stage.
Tag 2: Life is Sweet Basket Tag
A mint Berry Basket Doodle pop layered over bold strawberry patterned paper sets the tone here. I used a pink crepe paper ruffle along the bottom, layered hearts, and a “Life is Sweet” sentiment sticker. This tag screams summer!
Tag 3: The Good Life Lemonade Tag
Pink plaid and bright florals make this tag the perfect background for the adorable lemonade pitcher and glass from the All the Things. I layered up one of the This and That stickers with the die cuts that matched for some added dimension. I added a “The Good Life” sentiment strip and a few hearts and strawberries for that fruity pop.
Tag 4: Sweet Memories Mouse Tag
This tag features a layered floral tag for the base with the cutest mouse holding a strawberry. I also added a front-facing bicycle die cut for some depth. The “Sweet Memories” oval sentiment finishes it off, with some enamel dots for a little shine.
Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope these Berry Sweet cards and tags brightened your day and gave you a little inspiration to dive into this adorable collection. Whether you’re making tags, cards, or anything in between, this collection is full of juicy, joy-filled possibilities.
Go grab some strawberries (and maybe a few stickers) and get crafty! See you next time!

This top right corner is bursting with happiness! I tucked in the sweetest rainbow and sunshine from the Odds and Ends pack, layering them behind the photo for a playful, whimsical vibe. The bright blue button tied with twine adds a soft, handmade touch to the cloud, and a cheerful floral cluster paired with an orange butterfly brings in even more color and joy. I also added a darling little dragonfly Puffy Sticker to pull in some more dimension.. It's like a garden party right on the page!
On a couple of the cards, I also pulled in some of the 3x4 cut-apart cards found on the Color-Fetti pattern paper. I mounted the matching Doodlepop on the card. Make sure to check out those cut-apart cards- a lot of times, they match the size of the Doodlepop perfectly!
Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope you're feeling inspired to create your own fun-filled cards using the adorable Butterfly Kisses collection. Don't be afraid to dig into those Doodlepops (I know we all hoard them lol! ) and use those Puffy Word stickers - they're seriously perfect for adding that extra bit of charm to your handmade cards. Wishing you the happiest day, and I can't wait to see you all next time for more crafty fun!
