CHA Winter 2012 :: Doodlebug
If you don’t love colour, then don’t come anywhere near the candy-coated rainbow that is Doodlebug Designs! But colour is definitely good in my book, so a closer look indeed! You know, once I get past the idea of a tree that sprouts glittery Easter eggs. Because that puts trees, glitter and chocolate all the same object and I’m totally excited for that idea. Tree scientists, feel free to make this a reality. Please and thank you.
Cardmaking is more and more evident at the Doodlebug stand with each show, and the Doodlepops sticker line is perfect for that. 3D layered stickers sold individually, so you can grab just the design you want rather than trying to compromise with a sheet filled with a dozen designs at a higher price. I’ve used a couple of these and they are very sturdy for a layered sticker, so that does make them excellent for cards.
Two boy-themed lines cover babies and growing up years – with coordinating blues to make the more versatile patterns cross over the two.
I wonder if the shop-owners noticed this. Because this next to the till in a scrapbook shop would make me completely and totally powerless at staying away from baker’s twine. It would all be in my basket in under sixty seconds. Even if I didn’t know I needed it at all.
And I love how they package these buttons too, though this is probably something that works best for a retail store. It’s how I shop for buttons in the haberdashery department, so it makes sense in the papercraft world too. But the colours are extra lush, of course!
A little something new for the Doodlebug glittered papers: coloured backgrounds, white spots. I get a few of these each time and they look so fab in an album. Adhesive and the glitter can be a bit tricky, but it stitches really well, so that works a treat!
New clear and rubber cling stamps, including backgrounds and an alphabet, plus ink pads to coordinate with the Doodlebug colour palette.
Pretty much everything here ships in early March, so be ready to grab your favourites very soon!
