OH WHAT FUN RAINBOW CHRISTMAS TREE BOXES | with Kathy

We are getting close to Christmas, and I've been busy working on all the finishing touches for the holiday.  I always love to add a little something to my table, and these adorable Christmas Tree favor boxes were perfect!

One of my favorite parts of the Oh What Fun collection are the rainbow Christmas trees!  I decided to make my own rainbow forest using this SVG file, along with lots of goodies from Oh What Fun.  The bases of the trees were cut from the Oh What Fun Textured Cardstock pack, and the "trunks" were cut using some Kraft Woodgrain Petite Prints.  I then covered the trees with various papers from the collection.

I resized the file to make some mini trees... I thought they would make fun little place cards.  I covered them with papers from the 6x8 pad, I just love the smaller version of the prints!  I decorated them with some sprinkles and added star toppers using the Christmas Eve Shaped Sprinkles.

I wanted to add some variation to the trees, so I sized the file up a bit to make one larger tree.  I covered it with the limeade checked side of the all spruced up cardstock.  To decorate I added a star I cut using the Deck the Halls Doodle Cuts .  I then strung some of the Christmas Lights Shaped Sprinkles to add some color to the tree.  I finished it with a star sprinkle from the Christmas Eve Shaped Sprinkles.

The best part of these little trees... they hold some hidden treats!  These would also be great to gift a little something sweet to a friend or you could use the little trees for party favors!

That's it for me today, I hope that you all have a wonderful holiday season!

OH WHAT FUN MINI TAG ALBUM | with Conny

Hello crafty friends! This is Conny from The Daily Life of Creativity, and today I’m excited to share my third project using the Oh What Fun collection by Doodlebug Design. This time I created a tag-style mini album that does not require chipboard. For my base, I used 4” x 6⅛” acrylic tags, but you can recreate this project with any tag shape or size you prefer. Even a smaller 3” x 4” version would be adorable.

I started by choosing my favorite patterned papers from the collection. The 6x8 paper pad works wonderfully for this type of project, but since mine was already used up from my first two projects, I worked with the 12x12 papers instead.

For the front and back covers, I used the Festive Flannel paper. The red flannel pattern is beautiful and works perfectly for a cover design. I trimmed it to fit the acrylic tags and adhered it to both sides.

Inside the album, I cut nine additional tags at 4” x 6” using a mix of the following patterned papers: Christmas Eve, Berry Christmas, All Spruced Up, Cookies and Candy, and Twinkle Time. Some of these repeat throughout the album, and you can flip them to keep the patterns flowing nicely.

Next, I selected a few colors from the Oh What Fun textured cardstock assortment. I trimmed these pieces slightly smaller, to around 5¾” x 4⅛”, so a decorative, patterned border would show along all edges.

Before adhering the cardstock matting, I added some interactive elements to the pages. I created small flip pages using 3x4 cards and tag shapes from the Snow What Fun, Deck the Halls, and Merry and Bright paper. I trimmed the cards and created flips that open to the left and right throughout the album, alternating direction for variety. I also added a few tag shapes between larger pages for more layering.

On one of the tags, I created a small pocket using a 3x4 card. I added hinges on three sides, adhered it down, and tucked in Bits and Pieces from the collection, including small journaling cards that are great for writing notes or adding extra photos.

To embellish the front cover, I layered three patterned papers measuring 3.5” x 5”, 3” x 4.5”, and 2.5” x 4”. On top of this layered base, I added the Playful Pixies Doodle-Pop, along with the small envelope Santa and two layered hearts in light and dark pink. The title “Merry Christmas” comes from the Oh What Fun Chit-Chat pack.

Inside the album, I embellished using puffy words, mini icons, puffy icons, Chit-Chats, Bits and Pieces, and Odds and Ends. I added small clusters throughout the pages while leaving plenty of space for photos. I also added a pink ribbon bow to one of the tags for extra cuteness and completed the entire album with enamel dots.

Thank you so much for stopping by and taking a look at my project. I hope it inspires you to create something fun this season. xo, Conny

OH WHAT FUN CHRISTMAS SCRAPBOOK FOLIO | with Jen

I love making folios and the Doodlebug 6x8 paper pads are perfect for them! For today's project I used the Oh What Fun Collection and some 100lb cardstock for my base to make this simple envelope folio. 

For my cover I used the adorable Hello Santa Doodle-Pop along with one of the mini cut-aparts from the 6x8 pad along with the clipboard die cut from the Bits and Pieces pack. The flap is cut to a point to look like the flap of an envelope.

On the front inside cover is the other "half" of the envelope with an angled pocket. 

Inside there are more pockets, including the new addition to the Bits and Pieces pack the little notched piece shown above!

All the way inside there is a small waterfall on top of a side loading pocket.  

There are also several large flaps that will hold 5x7 photos. I've linked a full video walkthrough and tutorial below!

Have a great day!
