Hi crafty friends! It’s been a little while since I made any treat bags, and oh boy—I forgot just how fun they are to create! There’s something extra sweet about putting together a little handmade bag, especially when I get to use my beloved Doodlepops! (You know how much I love those little cuties!) This time, I couldn’t resist diving into the Bee Happy collection. It’s bright, it’s cheerful, and it’s bursting with the sweetest little icons—perfect for spring, summer, or any time you want to add a little sunshine to someone’s day.

 

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!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope these happy little bags brought a smile to your face—and maybe even sparked a little creative inspiration. If you haven’t already buzzed over to pick up the Bee Happy collection, now’s the perfect time. You’re going to fall in love with every last detail!

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!

Pink Crepe Paper

Hi crafty friends! Tya here, and today I’m excited to share a layout that is as sweet as a summer strawberry! I used the absolutely darling Berry Sweet collection from Doodlebug Design, and it was the perfect match for documenting this cute little moment with my cat, Winnie, out exploring the garden.

 Let’s take a closer look at the details! 

In the full shot of the layout, you can see how I used a grid of cheerful 2x2 patterned paper squares from the 6x8 paper pad in bold berry prints, ginghams, florals, and stripes to build a colorful background. I added dimension with lots of embellishments from the "All the Things" die cuts, including the adorable strawberry die cuts, flowers, and some puffy dots, hearts, and flowers from the Puffy Stickers scattered throughout. This gave the page a patchwork quilt vibe, perfect for the sweet garden theme.

One of my favorite embellishments from the collection is this pink polka-dot wheelbarrow overflowing with strawberries and flowers! I tucked it next to the photo of Winnie sniffing the strawberry plant, and perched a little bird on top for extra charm. A puffy red flower and yellow flower  die cut finished off this corner beautifully. 

The “berry sweet” title uses a mix of script and playful fonts in rainbow colors, adding a fun pop to the white space on the right. Just below, I included a few lines of journaling. And how sweet is the little mouse friend peeking out over the flower pot? I thought it framed out the title perfectly.

In the top corner, I added a mini cluster with layered hearts, a “Love You” sentiment, which is a sticker from the This and That sticker sheet,  and a soft pop of color from a puffy yellow heart. This small detail helps balance the page while keeping things light and fresh. I did add a few black Nuvo dots here and there on the page around my little clusters - I love the pop of black next to the colorful die cuts.

The highlight, of course, is my curious little kitty, Winnie, captured mid-sniff among the greenery. I love how the warm sunlight and the blossoms of the strawberry plants echo the collection’s theme. She looks totally enchanted, and I couldn’t resist snapping a few shots to preserve this moment.

The top section continues showcasing the patchwork grid with more berry-printed papers and a happy little strawberry face die cut. Notice the strip of colorful diagonal stripe paper strips - they are from the Strawberry Fields 12x12 paper.  I also added a sweet striped sticker tab and another cluster of flowers to tie everything together. It’s the cutest finishing touch!

 I hope this layout makes you smile and maybe sparks a little inspiration for your own berry sweet memories. This collection is bursting with charm and color—it’s perfect for summer scenes, garden stories, or anything that calls for a fresh, fruity vibe! Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you feel inspired to pick up the Berry Sweet collection and create something adorable. Happy crafting, friends—see you next time!
