Hello there!
What an eventful weekend I had! I mentioned the other day that my hubby was sick.. well he ended up going to the hospital and being admitted! He’s doing much better now and he is home and resting. He should be going back to work tomorrow so that’s good. Needless to say I didn’t have time to fiddle with my blog over the weekend.
Anyhow, today I am sharing TWO delicious Doodlebug treat packaging ideas! The design team has been very busy with the new Lovebirds collection! Hopefully you’ve had time to stop by the BLOG and see them all.. LOTS of inspiration going on over there.
First off I have a darling lollipop treat box. I found these adorable little heart shaped lollipops and knew I just had to make a project with them.. plus I don’t care for suckers, so the chance of me eating them are slim to none! When I buy M&M’s, etc. for ‘projects’…. yeah… ‘projects’…
‘Project’ GET IN MAH BELLAY!.. LOL!
I wish I had some fake candy that looked REAL. Heck, I would probably still find a way to eat it! lol. Anyhow, back to the lollipop box.. I used the cute ‘glove box’ file from SVG Cuts’ Mother’s Garden kit. I added on a cute scalloped window so you can see the cute lollipops inside. I decorated it and it came together as this:
Back pats to me for the whole photo staging too.. I think it came out super cute! I actually made that heart banner in the back with die cut felt hearts.
I really love the scalloped edges on this box.
For the lollipops I added some washi tape to the stick.. so cute! Yes, Doodlebug has WASHI TAPE now! And it’s awesome!!! The little love notes were perfect tags to add on. With a little twine bow and a small button.. too cute!
Next is this sweet cupcake baggie. This is a cutting file from the Silhouette store. I added on some heart jewels to look like little sprinkles. I can not get over how many embellishments Doodlebug makes. I have it all set up in my Ikea cart and it looks like a miniature candy store with all the COLOR.
So here’s my cute cupcake treat bag:
Looks good enough to eat, right?.. nom-nom-nom.
There’s some more of that cute washi tape! I am a sucker for polka dots!
So what do ya think? Have you snagged yourself some Doodlebug Lovebirds yet? There’s only TEN days left until Valentines day! My hubby and I don’t really play into the ‘Hallmark holiday’ crap.. BUT I do play it up for my kids! I wasn’t able to do their little ‘love party’ for them this past weekend.. sick hubby.. plus my oldest daughter was with her dad and I don’t want her left out, so.. it’s on for this coming weekend! I will be sure to share pics for those that care to see what we are up to over here.
Alrighty.. see ya next time! (if you missed my layout I posted Friday, be sure to check it out!) Have a great week my crafty friends! See ya!








Sorry to hear about a sick hubby. When a family member is sick it sure puts a crimp in things. I hope he is feeling a lot better.
Great job on your projects and your wonderful presentation of it. Had to chuckle about your comment about the candy. I think that is why I don’t make treat bags and such as there would be no candy left to give in them. Much less do a photo shoot.
Oh and I’m glad my eyes aren’t playing tricks with me as when I opened your site I was thinking it sure doesn’t look any different.
Have a wonderful week!
These Doodlebug products DO look like candies! So cute – you sure are amazing at showing off products! Makes me want them all! Glad to hear that your hubby is doing better now
Loved these projects so much when I saw them on the Doodlebug blog yesterday. Your little love notes tied to the suckers and the cupcake treat box are my favorites! I pinnned ya over at Doodlebug.
No surprise there: yours was my fave on the doodlebug blog. I need those little envelopes and notes!!!! The washi tape around the stem was so smart!
Can you just please post all your work directly to my Pinterest boards? That would really save me a lot of time.
