Doodlebug is known for their adorable paper collections. And the new release, Down on the Farm is no exception. It is so darling that I actually bought 2 paper pads. Plus it’s super versatile and is perfect for adults or kids as well as different card themes. My neighbor loves her chickens, so I’m already planning on giving her the chicken card for her next birthday. I’ll keep a few cards just to have on hand, but most will be donated to a local retirement home.
I used my 6×6 Paper Pad Tutorial and one paper pad to make 40 cards.
Because it takes many hours to use up a 6×6 paper pad, this video has been sped up 7 times. The real time recording was just over 5 hours, not including any of my planning, prep, or die cutting time. I was so excited to use this paper collection, I actually recorded it all in one day. Watch the video below or click HERE to see it on YouTube.
In addition to using the 6×6 paper pad, I also used 25 sheets of 8 1/2″ x 11″ and 9 sheets of 12″ x 12″ solid colored cardstock.
Here are close up pictures of the cards I made, including sketches and measurements. Operation Write Home sketches are the only ones that already provide measurements. For all the other sketches, I simply figure the measurements out on my own, for what works for me. All of my cards are A2 size. Go HERE to see my video explaining how I determine card sketch measurements. All cards are made using Doodlebug Design’s Down on the Farm 6×6 paper pad.

These are so fun i hadn’t heard of this paper pad before, thanks for sharing!
farm girl that I am, I need this set! Super Cute cards!
Oh gosh, Kristie, you are keeping busy! The Lawn Fawn set works perfectly with the Doodlebug paper pad. I hadn't seen the paper before and it looks like a lot of fun. Your cards are wonderful. I really like the crisp clean lines your style of cardmaking embraces. I'm sure the residents of the retirement community will be grinning from ear to ear! 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
Oh my gosh! That paper is so cute and I can't believe how well the Lawn Fawn set coordinates! Super cute cards and your work continues to be so inspiring.
2 paper pads coming my way….thank you, I think! 🙂
I just finished a Hello Sunshine 6×6 and I got 35 cards. I want to do Kitten Smitten….I bought the pad and stickers for HS…you get the cut outs too?
This month my(and a friends) cards go to the USS Theodore Roosevelt and next month to Fisher House in Hawaii.
I needed a lift today, thanks Kristie!!!
Amazingly beautiful as always – thank you for sharing
Oh so very cute ♥
Another enjoyable video, thank you!
So cute! I just bought this paper (and the stamp sets). Thanks for the inspiration to use them together.
I agree .. another great video. Where do you get your tape for your ATG? I'm getting ready to make a bunch of cards from my 6×6 paper pads and notice you go through a lot of tape. 🙂
Thank you, Heidi! I always keep my eye out for new Doodlebug collections. This is one I could not resist. 🙂
Thanks, Robin! I agree, you need this collection. 🙂
I have been busy lately. Whew! I don't have anything else recorded at the moment, so it will be a bit longer til my next video. This paper pad was so much fun! I'm glad I bought a second one. Thank you for your kind comments. I hope you have a wonderful weekend. 🙂
Thank you, Kristi! I was so happy that the Lawn Fawn set matched perfectly with the paper collection. 🙂
Lol! Sorry about the enabling. 🙂 You are going to have so much fun with this paper collection.
Yay, 35 cards! You are doing an awesome job using up some paper pads. I rarely buy the extras, but I have been using the included cut aparts if they will work well for the card themes I need. I hope you have a wonderful day!
Thank you, Deb! 🙂
Thank you, NannaT! I appreciate your kindness. 🙂
Thank you! The stamps coordinate perfectly with this paper collection. I'm sure you'll enjoy using both. Happy crafting to you! 🙂
Thank you, Cheryl! I buy my ATG refills by the case from Tapejungle.com. I usually wait for a sale and stock up. It's way cheaper than buying them at Michaels or Joanns. 🙂
You have inspired me in so many ways. I challenged myself to a whole 6×6 pad. I love your work and passion to pass on for good cause. Keep the videos coming. INSPIRED.
I have this paper AND the LF set–I'm so excited to get using them after seeing this awesome video! Such fabulous cards–thanks for sharing!!
Thank you! I really appreciate your kindness and support. I'm so happy I can provide some inspiration for you. I get so much joy from creating the cards. It just feels right to share that joy with others. 🙂
Thanks, Jennifer! The paper and stamp set are so perfect together. You are going to have so much fun with them. 🙂
Do I order from you or do u just show how to make it. I would love to make the farm animals.
