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!

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!

Hi there, crafty friends! I'm so excited to share my latest design team project! This time around, I decided to do a layout featuring the stunning new Butterfly Kisses collection! The bright, pretty colors and whimsical icons were the perfect match for these sweet photos of my daughter. With bright florals, sunshine, and rainbows galore, this layout came together like a breath of fresh spring air - pure happiness on a page! 

Here's a full look at my layout. I  started with the Garden Gingham paper as my base and then added a small border of Bubblegum Textured Cardstock and white cardstock to build my layout. I also added the soft blue Rainbow Skies paper behind the photos. The bright and cheerful Sunny Days paper, added across the layout, adds the perfect pop of sunshiny yellow. I had so much fun embellishing the layout using lots of ephemera from the Odds and Ends, Chit Chat, and Bits and Pieces packs! 


Just look at this sweet corner of my layout- it's bursting with charm! I layered a mix of die cuts, twine, and Puffy Stickers on this section. For fun, I added a twine trail behind the beautiful butterfly. The "You're so Sweet" speech bubble and a cluster of happy flowers with a cute button center make this so fun! How adorable is the smiling little ladybug? She is from the Puffy Stickers as well. These are all the perfect touches to highlight my photos.



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! 



This section of my layout brings all the sweetness together with the perfect title and journaling. I used the "absolutely adorable" die cuts from the Chit Chat as my main title - it couldn't be more fitting for these precious photos. Just below, I added some typewritten-style journaling strips to capture the heart of the moment, sharing how this everyday snapshot perfectly showcases my sweet girl. A scalloped floral border sticker from the This and  That Sticker Sheet and a small strip of green Textured Cardstock add playful texture and color, tying everything together with that signature Doodlebug charm!




Thank you so much for stopping by to take a closer look at my layout! I had such a wonderful time creating this page with the Butterfly Kisses collection - it truly is a breath of fresh air with its vibrant colors, happy icons, and sweet sentiments. I hope this project has inspired you to pick up this adorable collection and use it to capture and celebrate your own special memories. Happy Crafting!

Hello crafty friends! Today, I am sharing a fun design team project featuring the absolutely adorable Butterfly Kisses collection. I also feature 3 of my favorite things - fun fold cards, Doodlepops, and the new Puffy Words stickers. Today, I will be showing you these six cute Double Z fold cards that were a breeze to put together! Let's Go!!!


I used the new 6x8 paper pad, some Textured Cardstock, then lots of Doodlepops, twine, and like I said, the new Puffy Words stickers. These products are a card maker's dream come true, and make putting these together a breeze! 
Take a look at how cute the Puffy Word stickers fit perfectly on this little hidden sentiment section when you open up the front of the card! Too cute! 


Here are the six cards that I made. As you can see, each of the front panels is decorated a little differently based on the theme of the Doodlepop. I also used two scallop rectangle dies to mount some of my Doodleops on, as well as the Puffy Words. 




I added a bit of yellow ink on some of my panels to make the Doodlepops pop a bit more and not look so flat against the white panel. On these 2 cards, I did add some die cuts from the Bits and Pieces and Chit Chat ephemera.




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!

 Spring has officially sprung in my craft room, and I couldn't be more excited to share the sweet bunch of cards and tags I created using the Bunny Hop collection! This collection is absolutely overflowing with charm- from the pastel color palette and playful patterns to the darling bunnies and chickies - everything feels like a burst of sunshine. Designing with Bunny Hop was pure joy, and I found myself smiling the entire time as each piece came together. 

                                                      

 

Let me show you all the delightful little details that went into each card and tag!

As you can see on my first card, the pattern papers here are absolutely adorable and so bright and fun! My first card features lots of layers of pattern paper and various embellishments from the collection such as the Icon Stickers, the Bits and Pieces die cuts, and stickers from the This and That sticker sheet. I added some bling with the Easter Mini Jewels. I love adding all sorts of ribbon and twine to my projects as well- so I added some pretty pink twine to the top of the die-cut clipboard shape.


All of my tag bases for the project come from the 4 tags found in the Bits and Pieces die cuts. My first tag was decorated with lots of stickers from the Icon Sticker sheet. This size of sticker was perfect for my tags. The word strip is a sticker from the This and That sticker sheet.



Pretty polka dots are featured on this fun card! I also added some beautiful florals from the Bits and Pieces take center stage here and a fun little bunny and her egg make for a fun and festive card.


My second tag features one of the cute boy bunnies in the collection. How cute are his little overalls? This fun sticker would be so cute on a bag of treats!



I love square-shaped cards, and when I saw this adorable "Some Bunny Loves You" sticker from the This and That stickers sheet- I knew I had to make it front and center on my square-shaped cards. The adorable bunnies on the background paper from the Everything Easter paper make for the perfect background on this bunny-themed card. Hearts and flowers are also seen decorating the perimeter of the cute sticker sentiment.


This adorable tag is a cutie! The stripe looks great next to the cute daffodil floral die cut with a jeweled center. The Egg Hunt arrow is a sticker from the This and That sticker sheet.  This tag would be so cute on a page showcasing your Easter festivities! 



I love making little scenes with my embellishments as you can see here! the floral bunches from the Bits and Pieces are perfect for layering up other stickers on top of.  The sunshine sticker from the Icon Sticker sheet is perfectly framed with one of the circle labels from the Bits and Pieces. The label and Happy Easter sticker title work great along the cute grass pattern paper found on the Spring Sprouts paper.

This last tag is my favorite! Maybe because I am team Peeps! I love those little marshmallow goodies and these stickers reminded me of a favorite Easter treat. These cute stickers from the Icon Sticker sheet fit perfectly on this flower tag.  I added some tiny flowers and mini gems to decorate this tag further. It's so cute! 


My last card features one of the sticker labels from the This and That sticker sheet. They work great on cards and I just fell in love with this fun bunny in his truck delivering some Easter Eggs! The adorable Chick tag from Bits and Pieces adds some charm and whimsy to the card. 




Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you enjoyed taking a closer look at my Bunny Hop cards and tags- and that you're feeling inspired to create something sweet and springy of your own. This collection is just too cute to resist, and I know you'll have just as much fun playing with it as I did. Happy Easter and Happy Crafting my friends!

If you are looking for a burst of color and joy in your cardmaking, the Over the Rainbow collection is pure magic! I had the best time creating these six handmade cards using this bright and whimsical collection, along with the Cards and Envelope kit that coordinates with the collection. From the playful patterns to the charming little icons, the variety in this collection made it so fun and easy to mix and match elements. Each card came together with its own personality, and I can't wait to share them with you - so let's see what I made!


My first card is one of the larger ones in the card and envelope kit, so it was super fun to build up this little scene with the Mushroom House and the darling little gnome on his mushroom! I loved the clouds on the pattern paper - which is from the 6x6 paper pad along with the green dot paper. I cut it in a little wave on the top to mimic a grassy little hill. A sweet sunshine die cut peeks out as well. A few of the tiny flowers from the Spring Garden Shape Sprinkles add a touch of shine.
All the bright colors are featured here on this cute card with a lucky theme! The cute notebook die cut from the Bits and Pieces made for a great base to layer up lots of different die cuts and from the Odds and Ends and Chit Chat die cuts. More shine is here to with the use of the shape sprinkles. Notice the cute little green twine bow too! It adds some great texture!

We all need an extra thank you card lying around for when we need one in a hurry - so I whipped up this little cutie! I love this tree and the cute bunny makes this card extra warm and cheery! The Thank you sentiment is from the This and That Sticker Sheet and the bold pink color really pops! A few Sprinkle enamel dots add just the right amount of shine and color!
These longer-shaped cards are so fun to work with and are the perfect spot to add the label-shaped sticker from the This and That Sticker Sheet like I did here! This cute as can be little gnome couple look perfect centered on this card front. Surrounded by a few speech bubble die cuts from the Chit Chat die cuts - this card is one of my favorites! Don't forget to add the hearts as well and more shiny flower Sprinkles.


One more long-shaped card base is found in the card and envelope pack so I used this one for this adorable bold rainbow die cut from the Chit Chat. Paired with the cute gnome in a hot air balloon die cut from the Odds and ends - this cute rainbow-themed card will be sure to brighten anyone's day! I love the little rainbows found on my pattern paper too! So cute! 
Everything is cuter when its mini right? This mini 3x3 inch card included in the card and envelope kit was so fun to put together! The collection is full of gnomes and this cute little lassy was just asking to take center stage on this card! The wee little Hello sign is from the Odds and Ends and makes for a sweet little greeting on this mini card.

Hey there! Well- we did it! We made it to the final post for my Snow Much Fun 6x8 Mini album project! Boy, did I love putting this project together! I have been waiting for literally YEARS for Doodlebug to come out with a 6x8-sized album and they did not disappoint! I LOVE these so much and can see myself just making and making more and more albums of this size! So thank you Doodlebug for making my album dreams come true! 

In this post I will be sharing some of my favorite pages of the album and why I loved creating them. We have to start out, of course, with the cover. I love making really eye-catching covers because that is what is going to draw your reader in! I loved utilizing the Home Sweet Home Chipboard Album and the coordinating die to create this snowy scene on my cover! How cute is our little Frosty Fox Doodlepop friend?!?


The albums come with these really sturdy chipboard dividers that are so fun to layer up with lots of Chit Chat, tags, and other embellishments from the collection! I loved the way I could add the tab die cuts to the edges for some interest!




I am a sucker for anything interactive in my mini albums, so I did lots of them in my album. I think it's so fun to watch my loved ones flip through the album, take things out of pockets, and lift flaps and the like. This cute page features a pull-out pocket feature that lends itself to lots of room for extra photos and journaling spots in our albums.


The albums also include these beautiful color page inserts that I chose to trim up into a rounded shape for some added interest. The way these add such a vivid pop of color to the albums is wonderful! 


Pocket pages are also in the album and I added a fun interactive element to these types of pages by simply folding some of the pattern papers to add a flap to the pocket. So many great ways to add interest to an otherwise plain pocket! 




On those awesome Chipboard divider pages, I was able to have lots of creative freedom to add even more interactive goodies like this pocket that holds a large tag. I love how much more you can fit into making pockets on your layouts, and because these aren't in a page protector - the reader can pull these interactive parts out and enjoy them again and again!



Here is yet another fun interactive design element on this Chipboard divider page - a tall piece of pattern paper is folded over and then a flap is added so the reader can lift it up and see what's underneath! So cute and clever! 


Look how much these pocket pages hold! These are fabulous additions to the design pages included in the album. As you can see they are great places for additional photos, journaling, and decorative elements in your albums!


And I also got to use some of my own custom page designs, like the one below where I folded up the B side of the pretty pattern paper and made it into a pocket along the bottom and the top! I love the creative freedom I was able to express with these albums! 


If you'd like to see all the pages in the album- make sure to check out my YouTube Channel for a quick walkthrough of the different pages of the album! See them under the "Shorts" tab on my channel!



Creating this 6x8 Mini album with the Snow Much Fun collection has been an absolute joy! From layering all the adorable pattern papers to adding dividers, pocket pages, and interactive elements, every step of this project has been so much fun! I loved bringing all the wintery details together and watching this album come to life over the last two months. Thank you for joining me on this creative journey - I hope it's inspired you to make a mini album of your own! Stay tuned for more mini-album ideas coming your way! Thank you for joining me on this journey! Happy Crafting!!
