SNOW MUCH FUN WINTER WONDERLAND GRID LAYOUT | with Tarrah

There’s something magical about winter—the crisp air, the sparkle of fresh snow, and those peaceful blue‑tinted landscapes that make the season feel like a storybook. Today I’m excited to share a layout that captures all of that magic using the adorable Snow Much Fun collection.

This layout brings together cool winter blues, charming seasonal icons, and a grid-style design that beautifully highlights each photo. If you love documenting snowy adventures or simply adore winter-themed crafting, this page is bursting with ideas and inspiration!

The Snow Much Fun collection is perfect for winter photos—its mix of icy blues, mint greens, soft purples, and snowy whites sets the perfect backdrop for chilly memories. I layered patterned papers in various shades of blue to create a frame that pulls the eye into the center of the layout, giving the page both structure and softness.

The grid design allows for multiple photos without overwhelming the layout. With winter landscapes as striking as these, it’s wonderful to give each moment its own spotlight!


At the heart of this layout sits an adorable snowman duo from the Snow Much Fun Odds & Ends pack. I created a layered scene behind them using coordinating patterned papers, but the real star of the centre area is the shaker pocket I made underneath, machine stitching in some Flurry & Ice Crystal Shakers behind the Let It Snow Acetate Paper.
The little bits of color inside the shaker add movement and magic—like a swirling snow globe right in the middle of the page. It’s such a fun way to add texture and an interactive charm, and it ties in perfectly with the winter theme.


Doodlebug’s signature icons and mini stickers help bring even more personality to the layout. Mittens, trees, little snowflakes, and scattered snow‑themed shapes are tucked around the page to add softness and visual interest without overwhelming the design.

I also used sentiment pieces like “Winter Wonderland” and “Snow Much Fun” to anchor the theme and help guide the viewer’s eye across the page. Pops of purple and mint green break up the cool blues and add a cheerful, playful contrast.

This layout documents a stunning winters day—beautiful blue skies reflected on icy water, tree silhouettes in the snow, and crisp paths leading through frosty scenery. The multiple photo strips help tell the whole story at a glance while keeping the page clean and cohesive.

If you’ve ever found yourself with too many beautiful winter photos to choose from, this type of design is perfect for letting them all shine.

Mini snowflakes, enamel accents, and the sparkle from the shaker pocket all come together to give the layout a fresh, frosty feel. The Snow Much Fun collection makes it incredibly easy to create a page that is both cute and elegant—just the right combination for winter crafting. Happy crafting!

SNOW MUCH FUN WINTER BOOKMARKS | with Niella

 Hi crafty friends! Hope you've settled nicely into the New Year and are all snug and cozy! Let's jump right in with a hot beverage today as I bring you my third project revisiting the very cute Snow Much Fun collection by Doodlebug Design! Large bookmarks! These layered and fun 2.38 x 7" bookmarks are sure to please! I have a video showcase at the end, so read through and I'll see you at the end.  Yay!


Before I start creating, I like to grab my items and then spread out all the papers, stickers alongside the extra bits and pieces so I can be inspired by the colors and characters, and Doodlebug never fail to have the cutest and most delightful faces. How do you begin creating? 


With these bookmarks, I first created the bases with white cardstock.  Each of these bases are 2.38 x 7".  Once I have these cut out, I start to layer patterned papers and strips of cardstock.  Scallop edges adds extra texture and if you know my projects, you'll know I love my scallop scissors!  Once I have the papers all adhered with liquid glue, the fun part really begins; building each bookmark!


How cute is the little wolf hat and stripped scarf.  She's ready to have fun in the snow with her buttoned up jacket and mittens, so adorable! To pop the ephemera pieces, I've used foam squares to bring dimension to each bookmark.  I've designed each one so the top part sits above the book pages.


Close up photos show how dimensional each bookmark is.  I used mainly the Odds & Ends ephemera and the speech bubbles and tab stickers are from the This & That cardstock sticker sheet.  The snowflakes are extra cute, so I used them here and there to jazz up the bookmarks. How sweet are all the faces! Hi cute miss bunny and happy mister snowman! Adorable!



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

SNOW MUCH FUN POP UP CARDS | with Karen

Hey Doodlebug fans! Sometimes winter can seem really dark and long, especially up here where I live when the sun doesn't come up until after 8:00am and is down by 5:00. But there is also a brightness that comes this time of year when the lights reflect off of the snow and clouds and you can actually see for miles in the darkness. That's what I love about the Snow Much Fun collection from Doodlebug - it celebrates all the fun and lightness in what can be a dark time. So today, I wanted to share a couple of thank-you cards using this collection that also celebrate those in our lives that help bring the light!

   

These cards don't look like much on the front (although I would argue are still pretty in their simplicity), but open them up...

   

...and all the fun jumps out at you! This is a style of card called a stadium wave pop up and I recently came across the style. I thought they were a perfect way to showcase all the great parts of this collection!

   

 For this one, I use the 12x12 Ice Crystals paper as the base. This is one of my favourite patterned papers of all time from any company - the colours are unexpected and absolutely beautiful!

   

And then I embellished the pop out pieces with a variety of die cuts from the Bits & Pieces and Odds & Ends packs. This part was the most fun because I got to play with different shapes, sizes and placements to get the effect I was looking for.

   

 I also his a little spot to pull out a message underneath the sentiment that I created. I just wanted a nice space to write a meaningful note while still leaving lots of room for the card elements.

   

 Finally, I decorated the front with the adorable polka dot paper called Snow Day and then created a little band to hold the card closed (it get's a bit bulky with the party inside)! I plan to use the space on the round die cut for the recipient's name. So, if you need a little light in your life right now, grab your Doodlebug and get crafting. You won't regret it! Thanks for stopping by! Hugs,
