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,

OH WHAT FUN CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS | with Miguel

It's incredible how time flies, and now we're already in the best season of the year,  Christmas! So, let's get to work on some beautiful projects! Today I made these ornaments to hang on our Christmas tree or a Christmas garland.

I worked with the Doodlebug Oh What Fun 6x8 Pad because of the smaller designs. They  look perfect with these pine trees that I die-cut with doodle cuts on paper and foam to give them volume.

Once I cut out my pine trees, I placed them on a wooden spool, wrapped in coordinating Doodle Twine  and I love the result! I decorated the trees with the gingerbread Doodle Pops, and added designs with puffy icons to make them even cuter.

Once finished, I tied on tags with twine. You can find these tags in the Chit Chat pack. Thanks for stopping by! I hope you like this idea as much as I do. See you soon
