90th Birthday Card using Eggie Buddies-Elephant

Happy Saturday Afternoon Doodle Bugs,

Stopping by the KaDoodle Bug Designs blog to share a card I made for my dad's 90th birthday using the KaDoodle Bug Designs Eggie Buddies-Elephant.   I modified this file by removing the peanuts and adding a present I made for the elephant to hold from some scrap paper I had on my craft table from a previous card I made.  I added a ribbon bow to the top of the present.   

I used one of my gray Copic markers to add lines to his trunk and arms.  

Click HERE for the direct link to the KaDoodle Bug Designs website where you can purchase the Eggie Buddies-Elephant. 

Hope my card inspired you that it's ok to modify a KBD file to meet your crafting needs. 

Hope you have a marvelous weekend.

Happy Crafting!

Horse Birthday Card

Hey Deer Friends,

Good Evening Everyone!! I'd like to take a moment to thank all the Veterans who have served our Country for their service!!! 

Have you been crafting and making any projects lately?? The colder weather makes you want to watch a good Hallmark Christmas Movie and get crafty! Or maybe that's just me. ; ) Tonight, I want to show a birthday card I made for my nieces birthday. For this card, I used Cutie Katoodles Horse

 file from Kadoodle Bug Designs.

 My niece loves horses and her favorite color is purple, so I wanted the card to include both. I had asked her over the summer what kind of birthday card she wanted and she said horse so that's why I went with that. Her Mom and Stepdad got her horseback riding lessons for her birthday and boy is she excited. Today was her first lesson and she did great.

Candle Birthday Card

Hello KaDoodle Bug Fans,

This morning I get to share with you a card I made using this KaDoodle Bug Designs Cutie KaToodles - Make A Wish file.

Sometimes when I'm trying to figure out what I want to do for a card I go to the Mojo Monday website to check out their card sketches.   They have a lot of awesome past sketches and for my card I chose the Sketch from the Mojo Monday, July 9, 2012.     

As I was looking at the sketch, I thought that it would be cool to use buttons for the scallop/circles under the thin strip and use a ribbon instead of paper for the thin strip.

I used green twine for the thread in the purple buttons.   

Card Recipe:

•  KaDoodle Bug Designs Cutie KaToodles - Make A Wish file
• Flames accented with Wink of Stella clear brush pen.

• Card design based on Sketch from the Mojo Monday, July 9, 2012
• Green Twine from craft stash 
• Buttons from craft stash
• Yellow ribbon is Celebrate it 360 ribbon from Michael's
• White accents done with a white Gelly Roll Pen

Thanks for stopping by.

Duck Hunting Birthday Card

Hey Kadoodle Bug fans,

Good Evening, I hope you are having a great start to your week!! Fall is just right around the corner I can't believe its already mid September!!

My Brother In Laws birthday was last week, so I made him a birthday card. For this card, I used the file

Hunting 1 file from Kadoodle Bug Designs.

My brother in Law is a big duck hunter and loves all things duck related, so I figured I'd make a duck card. I inked the background with some shades of blue, purple, and pink to create a sunrise or sunset look.  Then I stamped some trees from the Lovely as a Tree Stampin Up set to create a background.  I also inked some of the water with the shades in the sky so it looked like it was reflecting on the water. To finish the card off I added some ducks flying in somewhat of a V in the sky and then added some cattails and water in the front. I hope this card inspires your creativity. : )

Below is a complete list of supplies and materials used to complete this project:

Paper Piecing.

KaDoodle Bug Files:  Hunting 1
Cattails: Disney Classics Cricut Cartridge
Birthday Sentiment: Gypsy Wanderings Cricut Cartridge

Cardstock:  Core'dinations & White Cardstock from JoAnn's

Colorbox Chalk Cat's Eyes Ink: Cocoa, Lavender, Orange, Marigold, & Moss Green.
Studio G Ink: Blue
Powder Puff Ink pads: Purple Passion & Blue Hawaiian
Stampin Up:  Ink Spots Pink Passion

Adhesive: Atg Gun & Zig 2 way glue

White Gel Pen: Signo Uniball White pen
Black Micron Ink: 01
Stampin Up: Lovely as A Tree Stamp Set

Stop by Kadoodle Bug Designs Website check out the freebies and new cut files!!
 Check back in next week for a Halloween themed Birthday Card. : )

What are you most looking forward to this fall??? I love seeing all the tree leaves change colors, so I'm looking forward to that.

I hope the rest of your week is Blessed!!! : )

Girly Girl Fox Birthday Cards

Happy Friday Crafters,

I love taking over the KaDoodle Bug Design blog on Friday mornings.  

It's my way to kick off the weekend especially that's when I have time to browse blogs and play in my craft room. 

Today I would like to share with you a few birthday cards I made with KaDoodle Bug Designs Cutie KaToodles Girly Girl Fox file. 

The fox pieces were accented with my eBrush using my Copic E19-Redwood pen, the nail polish bottle and her nails were accented with Nuvo Glitter Dots-Blue Lagoon.  The eyelashes are from the Dollar Store. 

Happy Crafting!

Birthday Card made with KBD Shoptastic Cuties-Birthday Cake & Cutie KaToodles Tombstone Dragon files

Hey Doodle Bug Fans,

DT Debby here to take over the KaDoodle Bug Designs blog this morning and hoping to inspire you to think about using KBD files for other uses then the season, holiday or other occasion that they were originally created for. 

Today I'm sharing with you a birthday card I made combining two different KaDoodle Bug Designs files to create the image I wanted.  I used KBD Shoptastic Cuties-Birthday Cake and weird as it may sound I also used the KBD Cutie KaToodles Tombstone Dragon. 

I wanted the dragon to look like the dragon was looking over the cake to the birthday person and saying the sentiment I used. 

Here are pictures of those two files from the KBD website showing how the files were originally created.  

Once again I used the SVG file to paper piece the birthday cake and dragon and I used the jpg to print and cut these files to show that you can combine files either way.  You just need to figure out where you're going to fussy cut afterwards and be patient.

 I added Nuvo Crystal Drops to the icing on the paper pieced cake and accented them with some little sparkly decorations I had in my craft stash. 

 In hind sight I wish I would've added the Nuvo Crystal Drops after I put a majority of the cake together.     

In this picture you'll see that I used one of my embossing folders to put the icing on so I could set it aside to dry. 

Here it is the cake before I combined it with the dragons.

As you can see, I cut off the tombstone from the dragon.   I had to guess where I wanted to cut it off at and hand to cut up on the side of the wings to get him to sit how I wanted him to be on the cake.

First up are pictures of the paper pieced Shoptastic Cutie Birthday Cake combined with the dragon from the Cutie KaToodles Tombstone Dragon.

I just love how he looks popping over the cake like he's crashing through the candles to say "Need help lighting all these candles?"  and then you'll see the same card I made with the print and cut images. 

Used Gelly roll pen - White & Metallic Purple for accents and Wink of Stella Brush Pen - Yellow for the candle flames. 

Here he is with the white icing. 

Here's the print and cut files combined together.  

I printed both out separately  and then cut the tombstone away from the dragon to put him behind the cake and have his arms in front of the cake.  

Here's a close up of the two images together. 

Here is a quick link to the two files I used: 

• KaDoodle Bug Designs Shoptastic Cuties-Birthday Cake
• KaDoodle Bug Designs Cutie KaToodles Tombstone Dragon

Thanks for stopping by.

I hope I inspired you to try combing KBD files or to use parts of KBD files for other projects that they weren't originally created for.

Birthday Card made with Oh Frap Bear

Happy Friday Doodle Bug Fans, 

DT Debby here to take over the KaDoodle Bug Designs blog. 

Today I'm sharing with you two cards I made with the

 KaDoodle Bug Designs Oh Frap Bear file.

Thought it would be fun to show what two of the same cards would look like with one where I used the SVG file and paper pieced the Oh Frap Bear and one card where I used the jpg to print and cut the Oh Frap Bear.  

To start I'm showing the card I made with the SVG file.

Used Stampin' Up Soft Suede to ink the edges of the bear.

Here is a close up of the bear. 

I used Marvy Liquid Appliqué- White for the whip cream on the frappuccino.

Doesn't it look delicious?

Now for the same card but a slightly different look because I used the jpg to print it on my printer and cut it out using my Silhouette Cameo. 

Close up time of the print and cut Oh Frap Bear. 

Card Recipe:

• KaDoodle Bug Designs Oh Frap Bear file

• SVG pieces inked with Stampin' Up Soft Suede, Glorious Green & Bashful Blue
• Used Uchida Marvy Liquid Applique Markers, White on the whip cream piece after I put the three pieces together. Added the chocolate chip squares while it was wet to make them look like they were sticking out of the whip cream. 

Hope you enjoyed me showing the difference between 

using a SVG cut vs a print and cut.   

Both are so cute in their own way and I love how both cards came out.   

Come back and visit the KaDoodle Bug Designs blog again to see posts with adorable creations my DT Sisters will be sharing.  

Happy Crafting!
