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!

OH WHAT FUN MINI BAGS | with Niella

 How fast is this month going and with December in sight, you've definitely come to the right place for Christmas crafty inspiration! Hi crafty crew, so happy to see you here today! Welcome, I have a fun treat today with the new Oh What Fun collection! So fun! And a showcasing video at the end to give you an inspiration station of ideas and a peek inside! Let's take a fun-tastic look at my project: a set of Merry Mail mini bags! So cutieful!

Aren't these so cute and each merry mail bag only takes one sheet of 12x12"! I do have a tutorial for these bags and if you've got a keen eye and awesome memory, you'll know I did a Valentines bag just like this for my very first Design Team project for Doodlebug. I've left the link below to the step by step tutorial!

Look at how cute the little elves are! Busy helping Santa Claus prepare for Christmas! These darling faces are so cute with their sweet wee outfits, how cute is the candy mix and the patterned papers! Everything is spectacular! Inside this 3.5 x 3.5" bag I've popped in some merry mail; a bundle of handmake tickets and bits tied with doodle twine!  This bag is machine stitched, which is totally optional.  

This bag is not stitched and looks just as cute! This is slightly bigger and measures 4x4".  Each bag has a hidden magnet as well, which makes them easier to open.  And see how each bag has a front pocket.  Perfect to slip in a small note for your lucky recipient. 

Thank you again for visiting crafty crew! I hope you've found inspiration today! Please remember to tag us in our your Socials when you create with Doodlebug so we can all admire your creativity! We love seeing your creations. Until next time; doodle dee!

OH WHAT FUN CHRISTMAS CARDS | with Karen

It's time - Christmas card time! I have a love/hate relationship with this time of the year. As you probably already know, I LOVE making cards. But no matter how early I start and no matter how many cards I make, I never have enough. Perhaps it is time to quit the day job and just make cards all day! :)

The good news for me is that Doodlebug products make the process of creating adorably cute cards so quick and easy! And the Oh What Fun collection is a perfect example. This little set of cards was created with the Oh What Fun Cards & Envelopes together with some of the paper from the 6x8 patterned paper.

The coordinating Chit Chat pieces are filled with sentiments that you can use on your cards. And there are so many pieces that there is no way you will run out before you finish making cards.

And then you can use the adorable characters from the Odds & Ends pack to embellish away. My favourite cuties in this collection are all of the little elves, so I used them in different ways on each card to create a unique scene for each card. Even if you have dozens and dozens of cards to make, each card will tell it's own unique story!

The great part is that once you get a process in place, you can use a similar strategy on each card, reducing the time it takes for each one and increasing the number that you can make in the time that you have, whether that is after work (like me) or all day (only in my dreams)!

But now I need to stop chatting and get back to the crafty table. This is is only three of 100 or more that I need to create. Thanks for stopping by! Hugs,
