27 Cards with Doodlebug At the Zoo Collection


Wild Animal Themed Card by Jess Gerstner featuring Doodlebug At the Zoo

Hello crafty friends! Today I have another 6x6 Paper Pad tutorial featuring Doodlebug. I am obsessed with Doodlebug 6x6 pads because it is so easy to create a bunch of cards without using many extra supplies. I think their designs are adorable and I can easily whip up a bunch of cards for card drives like Cards for Hospitalized Kids. So today I'm using Doodlebug At the Zoo 6x6 pad and Mini Icon Stickers while making 27 cards! Once I had made the 27 cards there was very little left over and I really felt like I got the most out of my pad and stickers. To see it all in action check out the video.



I made 2 of most designs but there are some unique cards. Keep scrolling to see pictures of each design and get some measurements.
