Funny Bunnies layout for Doodlebug Design

Wednesday, April 7, 2021

Have you seen the new Hippity Hoppity cutfiles yet? Well I already used some and I can tell you... whatever you create with them, it's going to turn out suuuuuper duper cute...!

Here's the layout I came up with...

If you've known me for a while, you know I love to create little characters on my layouts. I also love putting cute little bows on them and using tons and tons of flowers.

So for this layout, I used a bunny head cutfile and cut it out three times, while using three different colors for the backgrounds and inner part of the ears. I love the Doddlebug cardstock, the colors are sooo vibrant and you always find the perfect colors for your project.

I also used a cutfile with small flowers and leaves and cut them out, using pink, teal, yellow, white and green.

Before adhering all the pieces together, I used some Distress Oxides in matching colors, to create shadows all around the different parts of the bunnies and flowers. I love the dimension that it gives.

I put my bunnies together and then I hand-stitched some details on the ears of the bunnies and also on the leaves and some of the flowers.

To make the bunnies even cuter, I created some bows and used Doodlebug twine in pink, yellow and teal.

Then I started placing everything on my page that I had prepared with a bit of mixed media before. I matted my photo on a few scraps of paper from the 6x6 paper pad and also placed it on the layout. When everything looked how I liked, I started adhering everything.

Then I went through my Hippity Hoppity collection and used all the things that I thought would complete the layout. I added some carrots, jewels, glitter enamel dots, enamel chicks and doodle pops chicks and flowers.

For my title, I used three different fonts, Skinny, Abigail and Sunshine. To make them stand out more in front of the colored background, I traced around them with matching colors. Then I splattered some paint and I was done! :)

I really hope you like the layout and are inspired to scrap your Easter/April photos using the Hippity Hoppity collection and the beautiful cutfiles.

It's almost Easter and I can't wait to create more Easter projects. Even though, I don't celebrate Easter in the traditionnal, religious way, I think it's a perfect holiday to celebrate the beginning of Spring and all the happy and good things we have in our lives :) I love to use pastel colors for Easter and the new Hippity Hoppity collection has just the right mix of cute colors.

This time, I decided to create two cute cards, using the stamps and dies, glitter, sequins and my favorite patterned paper from the collection.

I don't use stamps very often and since I prefer to create layouts, I'm not used to use them. But the stamps and matching dies in the collection are so cute, that I thought I absolutely needed to use them.

So I started by stamping out the images that I wanted to have for my cards, with black ink and then I painted them using watercolors.

While those were drying, I cut out rectangles from white cardstock and my favorite patterned paper from the collection. I splattered some paint on the white cardstock to create texture and interest on the background, then I adhered it to the patterned paper.

When my little icons were dry, I cut them, using the matching dies.

To give the little critters a cute little touch, I added some glitter to some parts of the bodies and to the bow on the basket of eggs. It's looks amazing... I LOVE holographic glitter!! :)

While that was drying, I adhered my background to card bases in blue and pink, that I had created using Doodlebug cardstock. I then thought that it needed more detail and I decided to stitch all around the white cardstock, using a color changing, pastel thread.
