OH WHAT FUN DECEMBER 25th MINI ALBUM | with Traci

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope your day is filled with love, laughter, and holiday cheer. Today, I have a fun new mini album to share with you titled December 25 that's packed with lots of cute goodies from the Oh What Fun Collection! It's sweet, colorful, and perfect for your holiday memories. ❤️

To make it, I created the album covers out of white acrylic but you could use card stock instead. The front piece is the number 25 and the back is a 6.5"x 6.5" square. I embellished the cover with 3 ahhh-dorable Doodle-pops titled Santa's Elves, Playful Pixies, and Deer Friends. Then, I added some die cuts from the Bits & Pieces and a bunch of fabulous puffy stickers from the icons and words.

Behind the acrylic cover are 12 scrapbook pages covered in cute 12x12 pattern papers. I love the print on the first page. It's titled Berry Christmas and has pretty flowers and holly.

Above, I created a fold-out page and added a striped pocket to the front flap. The pocket is a new die cut shape in the Bits & Pieces and has a cute circular cutout. I tucked the round Santa from the Bits & Pieces into the pocket and it framed his little face perfectly!

Inside the fold-out, I added the 12x12 Cookies and Candy plaid paper, a photo mat, and the stockings die cut from the Bits & Pieces. Did you notice all the toys, presents, and sweet treats in them? Such cute details.

On this page, I added the "All Spruced Up" paper and the Happy Holidays die cut from the Chit Chat. I love its scalloped oval shape. I also added some colorful tabs to the edge of the pages. They're from the Bits & Pieces and have words on them that say ... memories, traditions, and December.

Here, I made a round photo mat using a 4" and a 3.5" circle punch. Then, I created a flippie with white paper and a colorful sticker from the This & That sheet. I added the hot air balloon and stars from the Odds & Ends, and some of the Christmas Eve star shaped sprinkles for shine.

Isn't this pink Cookies and Candy paper pretty? I love the color and all the playful gingerbread. I used a 3x4 card from the Check the Halls paper to make a flippie and added a journaling card from the Merry Magic print inside. Then, a photo mat in the background and a sweet die cut finished the page.

The layout above is another fold-out with space for 4 pictures. On the front flap, I added a photo mat and the Santa's Toy Factory die cut from the Odds & Ends. Look how cute and colorful it is with the toys in the windows! And when you open it ... 

... this page is inside! The adorable elf and the Christmas tree are from the Odds & Ends. I decorated the cute striped tree with a star, some colorful candy, and tiny dots from the puffy icons stickers. 

A pocket is a great place to store extra photos and journaling cards. I covered this one in the Spot of Cheer paper, then added the blue Christmas Eve print in the background. I tucked some cute cards inside from the Merry Magic and Check the Halls paper.

I ❤️ the colorful string lights on this page! They're from the Chit Chat and to really make them shine ... I added some enamel Christmas Light shape sprinkles on top. I also made a flippie with the 3x4 Happy Holidays card. It's from the Merry and Bright print and the sweet Santa face is from the Odds & Ends.

I hope my December 25 Mini Album inspires you to create something wonderful with the Oh What Fun Collection. To see other projects I made with this adorable line, visit my Heart Shaped Album, Truck Shaped Album or 12x12 Oh What Fun Layout.

OH WHAT FUN FELT ORNAMENTS | with Kathy

Happy Christmas Eve!  Just a quick post to share some fun little ornaments I made using some of the Doodle Cuts from the Oh What Fun Collection.  I love playing with felt, and I thought it would be fun to try to make some using the ADORABLE Doodlebug images.  Take a peek....

I started with the Santa from the Happy Holidays Doodle Cuts.  The dies from the Doodle cuts cut felt beautifully (I used a metal adapter plate in my Sizzix for a cleaner cut)  I whipstitched him together, then added a stitched smile, and some Doodlebug Sequins and seed beads for the holly berries.  To finish I added a hanger with some Ladybug Doodle Twine.

Next I pulled out the Deck the Halls Doodle Cuts.  I cut two of the back piece (big solid die), the star and some ornaments.  I cut the garland from some white felt and added some red seed beads for the "cranberries".  On top of the ornaments I added some Doodlebug Sequins with seed beads for sparkle.

I thought this was a fun and different way to use my Doodle Cuts!  I wish all of our followers a very Merry Christmas!

OH WHAT FUN TREAT & GIFT CARD BAGS | with Tya

Hello friends! Happy Holidays! I had so much fun creating these five adorable Christmas treat and gift card bags using the Oh What Fun collection. This collection is bright, cheerful, and full of the sweetest holiday icons, making it absolutely perfect for quick handmade gifts during the busy Christmas season.

Each bag starts with a simple 5x7 colored glassine bag as the base. From there, I dressed each one up with a mix of Petite Prints papers and the border strips from the Christmas Eve patterned paper. I love how those border strips add instant personality and help tie each design together while still keeping everything quick and easy.

In the first photo, you’ll see the full set of five bags together. I chose a different color palette for each one—classic Ladybug, soft Cupcake, sweet Swimming Pool, sunny Bumblebee, and fresh Limeade—so every bag feels unique while still coordinating as a set. To make the pocket, I simply folded about 2 1/2 inches from the bottom of the bag and then cut out some Petite Prints that matched the bag for the base. I added a strip of  Textured Cardstock paper across the front for a cozy, finished look.

Looking closer at the individual bags, you’ll notice how much dimension and charm come from the die cuts. I pulled icons Chit Chat pack, layering them on a scallop paper rosette to create cute focal points. Santa, gingerbread, wreaths, and festive icons really shine against the simple, patterned backgrounds. These little details make the bags feel extra special without adding a lot of time to the process.

Inside each bag, I tucked some small holiday treats along with a gift card. These bags are just the right size to hold a candy cane, a wrapped chocolate, a gift card,  and a yummy Christmas Tree brownie, making them perfect for neighbors, coworkers, teachers, or special friends. It’s such an easy way to turn a simple gift card into something thoughtful and handmade.

Inside the pocket, I added a space for writing a small sentiment for your gift recipient using some Textured Cardstock. For the sentiments, I used the Merry Christmas stamp from the Oh What Fun Doodle Stamps set. I love how clean and classic this sentiment is, and it works beautifully across all five designs. Stamping the greeting at the top of each bag gives them a polished, finished look and ties everything together. A couple of small Oh What Fun Sprinkles were added next to the sentiment for some added shimmer and shine. I added color-coordinating present and heart die cuts from the Odds and Ends to decorate the corner of the card.

What I love most about these treat bags is how quick and easy they are. They come together fast, use minimal supplies, and are easy to customize with different colors or embellishments. When time is short, but you still want to give something heartfelt, projects like these are the perfect solution.

Thank you so much for stopping by today and taking a look at my project. I hope these cute Christmas treat and gift card bags have inspired you to create a few of your own for the special people in your life. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful holiday season! Happy Crafting!
