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.
