29 Cards with Doodlebug Candy Carnival 6x6 Paper Pad

 

Doodlebug Design Halloween Candy Carnival 6x6 Paper Pad Card

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 cards or get jokes for your cards please check out my Card Drive Resources page. So today I'm using the Doodlebug Candy Carnival 6x6 paper pad and two Doodlebug stamp sets while making 29 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 is one unique card. Keep scrolling to see pictures of different designs and get some measurements. I used a stitched banner die from Kat Scrappiness as well but if you don't have one you could easily cut the same shape with a scissor. Finally, for this paper pad I also chose to try to use some embellishments from my stash. While these videos are primarily meant to show how much you can do with a single paper pack many viewers have expressed they also appreciate ideas for using up some stash items as well.

34 Cards with Doodlebug's Winter Wonderland

Cards using Doodlebug Winter Wonderland by Jess Crafts

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 cards or get jokes for your cards please check out my Card Drive Resources page. 

In the video I show my binder of printed sketches from My Favorite Things which I used on all these cards. I intend to add more sketches from other sources to the binder in the future. I use sketches mostly as inspiration so I'm never trying to follow them exactly or worried about measurements so they some cards look closer to the sketches than others. So today I'm using the Doodlebug Winter Wonderland 6x6 paper pad and sticker while making 34 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 and the MFT sketch number. All MFT sketches can be downloaded/accessed at a single link here. I used a few dies from my stash as well but if you don't have the same ones you could easily cut the same shapes with a scissor. Finally, for this paper pad I also chose to try to use some embellishments from my stash. While these videos are primarily meant to show how much you can do with a single paper pack many viewers have expressed they also appreciate ideas for using up some stash items as well.
