OH WHAT FUN FESTIVE CHRISTMAS CARDS | with Tya

 Hi friends! Tya here, and today I’m excited to share a set of quick and easy Christmas cards I created using the absolutely adorable Oh What Fun collection. This time of year is magical… but let’s be honest, it’s busy! Between holiday parties, shopping, and all the merry chaos, I wanted to create some simple-but-special cards that come together fast—without sacrificing any of that signature Doodlebug charm.

Using a mix of my favorite patterned papers, the playful Odds & Ends pieces, festive Chit Chat banners, some shiny Oh What Fun Sprinkles, and a few sweet Lily White doilies for texture, I put together four bright and happy cards guaranteed to bring a smile to even the grinchiest of faces!

 Card 1 – Santa & His Reindeer Cheer

For this card, I layered a sprinkle-filled Merry Magic background paper behind Santa, his reindeer buddy, and a cute little Christmas tree. A stitched green All Spruced Up gingham panel grounds the design, while a Lily White Doily folded in half adds that touch of softness I love. The red “Here Comes Santa Claus”  Chit Chat banner ties everything together and gives this card the perfect jolly finishing touch.

 Card 2 – Merry Christmas Village Scene

I couldn’t resist creating a sweet little holiday neighborhood scene for this one! The Village Book Shop Odds & Ends piece is front and center, accented with a whimsical Christmas tree and an adorable elf ready to help wrap presents. The soft green  Spruced Up gingham and pink Berry Christmas heart paper combo is so cheerful and unexpected. A rainbow-lettered “Merry Christmas” Chit Chat banner gives it that playful Doodlebug pop.

Card 3 – Sleigh Full of Joy

This card is filled to the brim with festive fun! I used a star-sprinkled Merry Magic patterned paper for the background and then piled on the bright red sleigh overflowing with gifts, elves, and even a gingerbread man hitching a ride. The doily below creates a snowy, fluffy feel, and the aqua “Happy Holidays” banner adds a perfect soft accent to all those bold colors.

Card 4 – Santa’s Light String Shenanigans

For the final card, I went full whimsical! I chose a sunny yellow  Twinkle Time pattern to pair with Santa tangled in colorful Christmas lights, plus a rainbow-striped tree and bright poinsettias. The red gingham  Festive Flannel paper at the bottom gives it a cozy, homespun look, and the doily brings that little bit of texture that makes everything extra sweet. The “Happy Ho Ho Ho To You” banner was the perfect finishing detail.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!  I hope these bright and cheerful cards inspire you to carve out a little creative time this season and whip up a few quick Christmas cards of your own. With the Oh What Fun collection, it’s truly easy to make something festive in no time at all. Happy crafting, friends!
