McGill Punches + Doodlebugs' Whimsy
Happy Monday, friends!
I have a couple of cute projects that combine these two companies:
First up is a card using Doodlebug Design's "Hello Spring" Collection
and Cardstock with McGill's punches. Before layering the scalloped and circle pieces,
I chalked around the edges of each with a coordinating color.
After punching the smaller flower shapes, I placed each onto the Molding Mat and created a well
in the center by using the medium stylus tool. This allows the petals to roll in and add a 3-D effect.
After chalking the edges, I added them to the edges of the larger flowers with a flat Glue Dot.
The centers were adorned with Doodlebug Design's adhesive pearls.

Although the 4th of July has come and gone for 2013,
I like to keep my patriotic decorations out until Labor Day.
I designed this whimsical vase of paper flowers with Doodlebug's "Stars & Stripes" Collection
and a couple of the different McGill Paper Blossoms Punches
For the 'blue star' flowers, I layered two of the same blooms and staggered the petals
just a little. Use the molding mat and a stylus tool to achieve a nice rolled effect to the flowers.
For the 'striped' flowers, I layered the flowers so that the two blooms were back to back
and a mirror image. To these, I gently molded the center of the flowers only.
After punching a small red Petite flower, I added them to the center of each blossom with
a foam dot. The flowers were then glued to bamboo skewers that I had wrapped with
Doodlebugs' Washi tape!

Stars 'N Stripes Diorama
More red, white and blue today with Doodlebug Designs'
STARS & STRIPES COLLECTION
I feel in love with the little red airplanes...they're so cute!
This collection includes pinwheels that you can make in a snap.
I found this inexpensive star box (also came with a lid) at Hobby Lobby...I just knew it would
make the cutest diorama when decorated with Stars & Stripes!
Three wooden dowels were wrapped in Bumblebee Washi Tape and then adored with Mini Pinwheels.
To hide the chipboard edges and uneven papers, I glued on a trim of Ladybug Doodle Twine.
I traced the bottom of the box and trimmed down the excessive until it fit nicely inside the box.
To cover the insides and sides, I cut strips of the papers and overlapped the areas so that the edges
would blend. For the diorama piece, I attached the die-cut embellishment to a large wooden
spool and then glued in place.
So many patriotic things going on over at Doodlebug Designs this week...check them out!
