SNOW MUCH FUN NEW YEARS CARD | with Kathy

Happy (almost) New Year!  I was lucky to get a little crafty time in during the Christmas break, and had fun putting together this New Year's Card using the Snow Much Fun collection.  This is one of my favorite collections of all time.  The colors are all fabulous, and the critters are just too cute. Take a peek.


I love a 3D card so I decided to make a pop up card.  I started with the Snow Cute Doodle Cuts.  I die cut all of the critters using the Snow Much Fun Coordinating Textured Cardstock.  These packs make it so easy to coordinate!  I also used paper from the Snow Much Fun 6x6 pad  and from the 6x6 Plaid/Polka Dot Petite Prints for the scarfs.  The panels on the outside of the card were also created using paper from the 6x6 pad.  


The trees are from the Icon Sticker Sheet.  I love the splash of green that they add.  I also added a few puffy snowflakes from the Puffy Icons Stickers.  I printed my sentiment on some Lily White cardstock.  Of course I couldn't resist the pun!

And here's the star of the show, the most adorable little yeti! That's it for me today!  Wishing everyone a happy and healthy new year!  See you in 2026!

OH WHAT FUN STOCKING MINI ALBUM | with Conny

Hello, crafty friends! It’s Conny here from The Daily Life of Creativity, and I’m back today with another fun holiday project featuring the Oh What Fun Collection. This is Project Four using this gorgeous collection, and I created an adorable Christmas stocking mini album with five pages, both front and back!
If you’d like to see how this album comes together from page construction to the final assembly, be sure to check out the process video on my YouTube channel.
I started by cutting all of my base pieces using my Cricut Maker. 
    Stocking Base (White Cardstock):

Cut from 110 lb. white cardstock for a sturdy base
Size: 6.7 × 7.5 inches
Cut five total bases
Top Stocking Fold:
Size: 4.9 × 3.1 inches
I used the offset feature on my Cricut and set it inward
Inner Stocking Layers:
Size: 6.3 × 7.1 inches
Rectangle Layer on Top of Stocking:
Backing piece size: 4.5 × 2.7 inches
Patterned Papers Used:
8991 – Cookies and Candy
8994 – Twinkle Time
8992 – Christmas Tree
8998 – Here Comes Santa
8989 – Merry Christmas
Each page is filled with layers and dimension, mixing patterns throughout the album. The photo mats are designed for 3 x 4-inch photos, with white cardstock mats trimmed to 3.5 x 4.5 inches, backed with leftover patterned paper scraps from previous projects, making them perfect for using up extras. I used a mix of Odds & Ends and Chit Chats to add phrases and create cute little Doodlebug clusters throughout the album.
The ribbon on the cover is extra special; it came from Cynthea at Doodlebug as part of the packaging from a gift she sent me. (Thank you so much, Cynthea! You have the kindest heart.) Her ribbons are always beautiful.
On the cover, I added a Doodle Pop: “Santa On His Way”, featuring Santa on his little train, along with the Christmas Magic acrylic word and enamel dots to finish everything off.
I had so much fun creating this Christmas stocking mini album, and this collection made it a joy to work with. Be sure to check out the blog post to see my other projects using this collection, and don’t forget to visit my YouTube channel to watch the full process video.
Thank you so much for crafting along with me! See you next time!

OH WHAT FUN TAG MINI | with Jen

I love tag albums. I've done them in many sizes from large 6x8 to small using only the Doodlebug tag paper that is typically in a collection. But smaller tag albums are perfect for using up scraps!

Today I have a smaller tag album using my left overs from Oh What Fun. My tags base are 3" wide and 5" tall. I angled to tops and punched holes. I used three colors of Doodlebug Textured Cardstock from the coordinating solids pack but you could use more colors or even make them all the same color. 

The front and back covers of my tag album are cut from the new Christmas Magic acetate. The heavy Doodlebug acetate is amazing from tag albums. On the front I used one of my leftover stickers from the This and That sticker sheet. To that I added a couple of the gingerbread men from the Goody Goody Gumdrops shape sprinkles. 

Inside I used the number squares from the 12x12 paper pack (Flannel Season paper) on the front of each tag. This would be a super simple way to make a quick December Daily style album. Some of the number squares are add to a white flap so you could journal or add small pictures underneath. I did leave the back of each tag blank to add a picture. 


I mixed leftovers from the 12x12 papers and the 6x8 pad. Here I added one of the small journaling cut-aparts from the 6x8 pad.

To decorate the front of each tag I've used a variety of Mini Icons, Icons, Odds and Ends, Chit Chat, and Bits and Pieces. The larger embellishments hang off the sides of the tags and just add an extra pop. 


I finished it up with a final acetate tag for the back cover and added another sticker from the This and That sticker sheet. 

And since there are so many tags here is a quick video flip through!
