About Doodlebug Design Inc
Doodlebug Design Inc is celebrated for its playful, joyful aesthetic and distinctive dimensional stickers. Every product in the collection is designed to coordinate beautifully—combine 12x12 paper pads with 6x8 formats, layer stickers with die-cut ephemera, and add embellishments to create unified projects without colour or design conflict.
The Doodlebug range emphasizes double-sided printing, meaning every sheet delivers usable designs on both front and back—maximizing creative options and reducing paper waste. Signature Doodle-Pops 3D stickers feature dimensional, embellished and shaker effects that add visual depth and playful personality to every project.
Craftywafty stocks two distinct themed collections within the broader Doodlebug range: Lucky Me (uplifting, happiness-focused designs) and Oh What Fun (festive, holiday-specific aesthetics). Both feature complete coordinate ecosystems: paper pads, dimensional stickers, mini icon stickers, die-cut ephemera and embellishment packs.

Project Inspiration
Greeting Card Collections
Use 6x8 or 12x12 paper pads as card bases (cut to size). Layer with coordinating stickers, add die-cut ephemera for focal points, and finish with Doodle-Pops 3D stickers for dimensional personality. Create entire coordinated card collections where every card shares the same joyful Doodlebug aesthetic.
Scrapbook Layouts
Build cohesive scrapbook spreads using 12x12 paper pads as backgrounds and focal layers. Incorporate 6x8 paper for accent elements, add die-cut ephemera as embellishment, and apply mini icon and Doodle-Pops stickers for festive or joyful detail. The double-sided printing gives you abundant design options from a single pad.
Mixed Media & Collage
Combine multiple Doodlebug paper formats, tear and layer designs for visual interest, incorporate die-cut ephemera for dimensional elements, and finish with Doodle-Pops 3D stickers for playful depth. The coordinated colour palettes create cohesive mixed media compositions without aesthetic conflict.
Junk Journals & Art Journals
Use 12x12 or 6x8 papers cut into page sizes for junk journal spreads. Layer designs, add stickers and ephemera strategically, and celebrate the double-sided printing by flipping between designs. The uplifting Lucky Me or festive Oh What Fun aesthetics work beautifully for expressive, playful journal pages.
Gift Embellishment & Packaging
Use Doodlebug papers as gift wrap or card embellishment. Layer sticker sheets, add Doodle-Pops for dimensional interest, and incorporate die-cut ephemera for personalised, coordinated gift presentation. The playful designs celebrate occasions and bring joy to handmade gifts.
Tips & Techniques
Maximising Double-Sided Paper
All Doodlebug 12x12 and 6x8 pads feature coordinating designs on both sides. Use both sides strategically within layered projects, flip between designs to discover complementary combinations, or layer sheets to celebrate both designs with transparency. This doubles your usable design options from every pad.
Dimensional Sticker Placement
Doodle-Pops 3D stickers feature shaker effects and embellished details that add visual depth. Apply as focal points on cards or layouts, layer multiple stickers for dimensional interest, or use strategically to draw the eye to important design elements. The dimensional quality works beautifully with photography.
Layering Paper Formats
Combine 12x12 paper pads with 6x8 paper for varied scale and visual interest. Use larger sheets as backgrounds, smaller formats as accent layers, and finish with stickers and ephemera. This layering approach creates professional, coordinated designs with visual hierarchy.
Die-Cut Ephemera Application
Pre-cut die-cut elements from Doodlebug ephemera packs are ready to use whole or customise further. Apply directly as embellishment, layer over coordinating paper for dimensional effects, or cut custom shapes for personalised application. The pre-cut quality saves time on labour-intensive cutting.
Coordinating Across Collections
Within Lucky Me or Oh What Fun, all products—paper pads, stickers, ephemera, page kits—coordinate beautifully. Mix and match formats confidently, combine multiple product types, and build layered projects without colour or design conflict. The themed coordination is Doodlebug's signature strength.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do all Doodlebug products within a collection coordinate together?
