35 Cards with the Doodlebug Hello Collection

Hello crafty friends! Today I have another 6x6 Paper Pad tutorial featuring Doodlebug. I am obsessed with Doodlebug 6x6 pads because it is so easy to create a bunch of cards without using many extra supplies. I think their designs are adorable and I can easily whip up a bunch of cards for card drives like Cards for Hospitalized Kids. If you want more info on donating card please check out my Card Drive Resources page. So today I'm using the Doodlebug Hello Collection 6x6 paper pad while making 35 cards! To see it all in action check out the video.

I made 2 of many designs because this paper pad came with 2 of each sheet but there are some unique cards. Keep scrolling to see pictures of different designs and get some measurements.

Two Looks One Diecut Set featuring Spellbinders

Spellbinders provided some of the supplies in exchange for sharing a project.

Hello crafty friends! Today I'm sharing two cards created with Spellbinders products. Spellbinders offered me a chance to work with their October Large Die of the Month and since I know they make high quality dies that I enjoy I accepted. I was so excited to see this fun pick up truck when it arrived. I love that it can make cards for all seasons and that it has sentiments included. For more details check out the video below:

After making the first fall card I was having too much fun to stop so I decided to make another card but in a completely different style. This time I went with pink and shiny. The Kat Scrappiness sequins and jewels added the perfect finishing touches. Use the code Jess10 to save at Kat Scrappiness.
