OH WHAT FUN TREAT BOXES | with Tya

Hi friends! Today I’m sharing a project that made my holiday-loving heart so happy. I’m obsessed with Christmas Tree Cakes, so when I found a YouTube tutorial, which I will link below, for these adorable treat boxes, I knew I had to make a few using the Oh What Fun collection. The bright colors, the sweet elves, and all the playful icons were the perfect match for these yummy little gifts. Each box fits one Christmas Tree Cake perfectly—and they turned out absolutely darling! I also loved the idea of coordinating each box with a base color using matching embellishments, doilies, and themed die cuts.

You can find the tutorial that I followed to make the base of the boxes here.

Each of the boxes is constructed the same way. I used a piece of Textured Cardstock and then cut a piece of Spot of Cheer pattern paper for the front panel.  I then added coordinating embellishments that matched the base color of the box to make it look visually appealing and cohesive.

 All of my embellishments were from the Odds and Ends for the elves and trees. I then added Puffy Icons presents, candy, and hearts to the boxes. I found color-coordinating snowflake stickers from the Icon Sticker Sheets and added them with some foam tape to the top of the bag. Each bag features a sentiment strip from the Chit Chat die cuts, which rests below the embellishments. Finally, each bag is topped with a fun bow made from Doodle Twine. 

Let’s take a look at each one! 

Pink Box – “You’re So Sweet” This soft pink box might be my favorite—it’s just so sugary sweet! I layered a Cupcake mini doily behind a polka-dot panel, then added the cutest little elf, pink tree, peppermint accents, and a tiny gift. The sentiment “You’re So Sweet” couldn’t be more perfect, especially paired with the Christmas Tree Cake tucked inside. A pink and white twine bow finished it off for that extra pop of sweetness.

Green Box – “Holly Jolly Christmas” This bright green box is overflowing with holiday cheer! I used a matching Limeade doily and layered on a plaid tree, candy swirl enamel dot, snowflake, and the cutest little elf holding a candy cane. The lemon-lime color combination feels so fresh and fun. “Holly Jolly Christmas” adds the perfect festive touch across the bottom.

Red Box – “Merry Christmas.” The red version might be the most classic of the bunch. I went full-on jolly Christmas vibes with a cute elf girl in a red hat, a bright red polka-dot tree, a matching Ladybug doily, and a wrapped gift. The white enamel dot accents and bold “Merry Christmas” banner make this box a standout. 

Yellow Box – “Sending Love & Cheer” How cheery is this one? The yellow box features the sweetest little scene with the elf riding on a reindeer. I tucked in a yellow-striped house, a gift, and a big snowflake to bring in some winter magic. The sunny yellow Bumblebee doily behind the cluster keeps everything soft and warm. This one truly does send love & cheer!

Swimming  Pool Blue Box – “Holiday Fun” This cool aqua box might be the perfect tone for winter crafting. I layered on the blue tree, peppermint swirl enamel dot, snowflakes, and a matching elf. The Swimming Pool doily peeks out just enough to give the whole box a frosty, whimsical feel. The “Holiday Fun” banner adds just the right playful touch! 

A Peek Inside Each box opens easily from the top, and the Christmas Tree Cake fits inside like it was made for this project. These are such a great size for coworker gifts, classroom treats, Secret Santa surprises, or even stocking stuffers! 

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope these colorful and cheerful treat boxes inspired you to create a few of your own this holiday season. They are so simple to make—and even sweeter to give. Happy crafting, friends!

OH WHAT FUN - HO HO HO LAYOUT | with Brianna

Hey friends! Brianna here today and I had so much fun working with the Oh What Fun collection again this week. This collection just screams happy and you just can't help but get in the holiday spirit while creating with it. Here's my page: 

When I originally received this collection, I immediately noticed the trees in rainbow colors. I wanted to make a layout that would have them as a main focus (other than my photos of course), so I pulled the ones from the Odds & Ends pack. I set my trees aside and built my base using the Merry & Bright 12x12 patterned paper. I then took the white cardstock from the coordinating Solid Assortment 12x12 pack and trimmed it down to a 10x10. I matted it using the Bubblegum pink cardstock that I trimmed to a 10.5x10.5 size. I adhered them both down to my Merry & Bright paper. The border of the pink cardstock really makes my white cardstock pop on top of the stripes. I'm really glad that I added it!

Next, I lined up all of my trees and put them in rainbow order. I thought it would be fun to grab an extra Christmas tree with lights and put it right in the center. Before I adhered them, I made sure to pop them all up on foam tape for some dimension and interest. I also added some of the stars from the Christmas Eve Shape Sprinkles to the tops of each one. They came out so cute and I love how they pop at the top of my page.

I took my trio of photos and matted them with one of the 6x8 papers. I chose to print them in black and white so the colors in my photos wouldn't compete with the colors in the collection. My photos were taken in front of our Christmas tree so they're a bit dark and I thought it would be best to not print them in color.  

For my title, I chose the three "Ho Ho Ho' words and adhered them above my photos so that they would be right in the center. I love how it turned out!

I really wanted to keep the embellishments to a minimum since my original idea was to have the trees has one of the focal points. So, I simply added a Santa and the bag of toys die cuts from the Odds & Ends pack and adhered them on each side of my photos. I also sprinkled in a few of the candy canes from the Puffy Icons sticker sheet since my daughter is wearing candy cane pajamas and she's holding a candy cane ornament. Gotta love a little theme!

Lastly, I thought the top of my design needed a little something, so I pulled out a "Merry Christmas" banner from the Chit Chat pack and added it in. To take it a step further, I pulled the adorable little red birds from the Deer Friends Doodle-Pop and adhered them to each side of it. It looks like they're holding the banner with their little mouths... So cute! Here's one last look: 

Thank you for stopping by today, I hope that I've inspired you in some way. I'll see you in my next post friends!!

OH WHAT FUN TAG MINI ALBUM | with Tarrah

The holiday season is the perfect time to get creative, and what better way to capture the joy of Christmas than with a colorful tag album? Using the gorgeous Oh What Fun collection I made a cheerful keepsake that’s full of personality and festive charm!

To make the album extra special, I turned the front tag into a shaker pocket. I used the Christmas Magic acetate to create the window and filled the pocket with the Christmas confetti shakers—tiny circles move around freely when you shake it, to keep it all inside I machine stitched around the edge and added a gold metal eyelet to the top. This interactive element adds so much fun and dimension to the album and makes it the perfect eye-catching cover.

I flipped the 'Spots of Cheer' paper to the ‘B’ side and cut out the tag shapes. Cutting out each tag gave me 6 mini canvases to work on individually.

Once the tags were cut, I decorated each one using tone-on-tone embellishments. This means I matched the embellishments to the color of the tag—pink accents on pink tags, green on green, and so on. This technique creates a cohesive look while still letting each tag shine individually.

I layered stickers, die-cuts, and borders from the collection, adding dimension with Doodle-Pops and a few enamel dots for sparkle. The result is a vibrant, coordinated set of tags that feel festive but not cluttered, I added a metal ring through the top to keep the tags altogether, I then added the Christmas tree charm and some ribbons to finish it off.

Tag albums are a fun and versatile way to document memories or create a mini gift. They’re small, easy to assemble, and allow you to play with layers, textures, and embellishments without the pressure of a full scrapbook layout.

This tag album was not only fun to make but it's also a wonderful way to celebrate the season. The Oh What Fun Collection truly lives up to its name with its vibrant colors and whimsical designs! Happy crafting!
