Make LOTS of Cute Cards with Minimal Supplies! Studio Monday with Nina-Marie

Sometimes it is fun to take a cute collection—such as the new Doodlebug Pretty Kitty products—and just sit down and make LOTS of cards! With a collection of products, it makes the process a more streamlined because the design elements are already picked out for you; you just have to assemble them into cards! I’m using the Pretty Kitty collection, but you could do this same thing with other collections from Doodlebug!

I recommend picking out some of their fun patterned papers, a Chit Chat Ephemera pack for sentiments, an Odds and Ends pack for imagery, along with some of your favorite Doodlepops, some Puffy Stickers… and don’t forget the washi tape! After that, all you need are some good card bases, a bit of adhesive, and you can craft to your heart’s content! Check out all the cute cards I’ve made so far with the collection:
