OH WHAT FUN CHRISTMAS SCRAPBOOK FOLIO | with Jen

I love making folios and the Doodlebug 6x8 paper pads are perfect for them! For today's project I used the Oh What Fun Collection and some 100lb cardstock for my base to make this simple envelope folio. 


For my cover I used the adorable Hello Santa Doodle-Pop along with one of the mini cut-aparts from the 6x8 pad along with the clipboard die cut from the Bits and Pieces pack. The flap is cut to a point to look like the flap of an envelope.


On the front inside cover is the other "half" of the envelope with an angled pocket. 


Inside there are more pockets, including the new addition to the Bits and Pieces pack the little notched piece shown above!


All the way inside there is a small waterfall on top of a side loading pocket.  



There are also several large flaps that will hold 5x7 photos. I've linked a full video walkthrough and tutorial below!


Have a great day!

OH WHAT FUN HEART SHAPED MINI ALBUM | with Traci

Hello crafty friends! Traci here and today I'm sharing my new Merry Christmas Scrapbook designed with the adorable Oh What Fun Collection and my clear Acrylic Heart Shaped Album. This mini is so cute for holiday photos and would make a super special Christmas gift for someone you love! ❤️

Oh my goodness ... look at this cover. Doodlebug is just the cutest! To make it, I chose the 12x12 All Spruced Up plaid for the background, then added some colorful presents from the Odds & Ends on top. Next, I punched a 3.5" scalloped circle out of lily white card stock and layered the Santa circle die cut on top. It's from the Chit Chat. Then for a little holiday sparkle, I added some glitter enamel dots to the gifts and the Merry Christmas banner. 

Inside, I covered each page in a different 12x12 pattern paper, photo mats, and more adorable embellies. Above, is one of my favorite prints called Cookies and Candy. I just love the cupcake pink color and the little gingerbread men! 

The wreath and the "Santa Season" are both die cuts from the Bits & Pieces. If you look closely at the wreath, you'll see a pink star on the bow ... it's from the Christmas Eve shape sprinkles. I also added some ornaments with glitter enamel dots. Beautiful!

I covered this page in the other side of the All Spruced Up paper that's filled with colorful trees. Then, I created a photo mat using a 3.5" scallop circle and 3" circle punch by Marvy Uchida. The "sweet" little gingerbread is from the Bits & Pieces and the word bubble is from the Chit Chat.

Ohhhh, I love the string lights on this page! I used the 12x12 Snow What Fun paper in the background and created another photo mat. Then, I found 2 little red birds in the Odds & Ends that were perfect for holding up the lights from the Chit Chat. I added the enamel Christmas Lights shape sprinkles on top of each bulb, and now they're ready for the holiday!

No Christmas album would be complete without Santa and Mrs. Claus. To highlight them, I added the subtle polka dot pattern in the background called Here Comes Santa. Then, I added the cute couple from the Odds & Ends and another photo mat.

Doodlebug incorporated the fabulous bubble blue color into this collection and I am here for it! Just look how cute this 12x12 Christmas Eve paper is with its little winter snowflakes. It's so beautiful next to the flowers, holly leaves, and berries.  

Also, did you notice the shiny snowflakes above? They're die cuts from the Odds & Ends and I added enamel sprinkles from the Snow What Fun shape sprinkles on top. They glisten! 

This collection has such gorgeous colors and fun Christmas images. It's perfect for all your holiday papercrafts whether you make cards, scrapbook layouts, or mini albums like me! These products are sure to make you feel all the happy holiday vibes!

I hope my Merry Christmas Heart Shaped Mini Album inspires you to create something special with the Oh What Fun Collection.

OH WHAT FUN FESTIVE CHRISTMAS CARDS | with Tya

 Hi friends! Tya here, and today I’m excited to share a set of quick and easy Christmas cards I created using the absolutely adorable Oh What Fun collection. This time of year is magical… but let’s be honest, it’s busy! Between holiday parties, shopping, and all the merry chaos, I wanted to create some simple-but-special cards that come together fast—without sacrificing any of that signature Doodlebug charm.

Using a mix of my favorite patterned papers, the playful Odds & Ends pieces, festive Chit Chat banners, some shiny Oh What Fun Sprinkles, and a few sweet Lily White doilies for texture, I put together four bright and happy cards guaranteed to bring a smile to even the grinchiest of faces!

 Card 1 – Santa & His Reindeer Cheer

For this card, I layered a sprinkle-filled Merry Magic background paper behind Santa, his reindeer buddy, and a cute little Christmas tree. A stitched green All Spruced Up gingham panel grounds the design, while a Lily White Doily folded in half adds that touch of softness I love. The red “Here Comes Santa Claus”  Chit Chat banner ties everything together and gives this card the perfect jolly finishing touch.

 Card 2 – Merry Christmas Village Scene

I couldn’t resist creating a sweet little holiday neighborhood scene for this one! The Village Book Shop Odds & Ends piece is front and center, accented with a whimsical Christmas tree and an adorable elf ready to help wrap presents. The soft green  Spruced Up gingham and pink Berry Christmas heart paper combo is so cheerful and unexpected. A rainbow-lettered “Merry Christmas” Chit Chat banner gives it that playful Doodlebug pop.

Card 3 – Sleigh Full of Joy

This card is filled to the brim with festive fun! I used a star-sprinkled Merry Magic patterned paper for the background and then piled on the bright red sleigh overflowing with gifts, elves, and even a gingerbread man hitching a ride. The doily below creates a snowy, fluffy feel, and the aqua “Happy Holidays” banner adds a perfect soft accent to all those bold colors.

Card 4 – Santa’s Light String Shenanigans

For the final card, I went full whimsical! I chose a sunny yellow  Twinkle Time pattern to pair with Santa tangled in colorful Christmas lights, plus a rainbow-striped tree and bright poinsettias. The red gingham  Festive Flannel paper at the bottom gives it a cozy, homespun look, and the doily brings that little bit of texture that makes everything extra sweet. The “Happy Ho Ho Ho To You” banner was the perfect finishing detail.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!  I hope these bright and cheerful cards inspire you to carve out a little creative time this season and whip up a few quick Christmas cards of your own. With the Oh What Fun collection, it’s truly easy to make something festive in no time at all. Happy crafting, friends!
