TINSEL TIME CHRISTMAS LIGHTS LAYOUT | with Tarrah

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful day celebrating! Have you got the new Tinsel Time collection yet? It is SO beautiful and perfect to document all of your Christmas memories. Each year our family loves to go and see all the Christmas lights displays in our area and the Tinsel Time collection captures some of the photos I took brilliantly.

I first chose 3 background patterned papers from the Tinsel Time collection, they were the 'B' side of 'Berry Merry', the 'B' side of 'Snow Bright' and the 'B' side of 'Tree Trimmings'. I kept the Berry Merry paper at 12' x 12' and trimmed down the Snow Bright paper to 11' x 11' and the Tree Trimmings paper to 10' x 10' and adhered them all together so there were bordered of each paper.

I chose a Christmas Lights cut file to go with the theme of my page and backed it with the 6' x 6' paper pad version of the Berry Merry paper. I then adhered the cut file to the centre of the papers using foam tape. I added 2 photos, 1 in the top left of the cut file and 1 in the bottom right of the cut file also using foam tape.

Next was my favorite part, embellishing!!! I placed the beautiful pink Christmas Cottage Doodle Pop to the bottom left corner of the cut file, Doodle Pops are my favorite! How about you?! I placed the stocking die-cut from the Bits and Pieces pack at the bottom of the cut file and also added the strings of lights also from the Bits and Pieces pack. I placed the Twinkle Lights Shape Sprinkles over the top of the light die-cuts.

The house and foliage die-cut is from the Bits and Pieces pack and the lamp post die-cut is from the Odds and Ends pack. I also added the lamp post from the Snow Wonderful Doodle Pop too. At the very top of my page, I took the individual lights and added them using foam tape and then added some silver twine to mimic the lights being hung as one strand.

I love how my layout turned out and I hope you enjoy reading how I created it as much as I enjoyed creating it. Happy creating!

TINSEL TIME MINI | with Niella

As Santa and his elves get back to the North Pole and start working on Christmas 2025, after a break of course, I'd like to say a HUGE thanks crafty crew for being such great support for us here on the Doodlebug Blog and socials! I have loved bringing you all inspiration through the year and we wouldn't be anywhere without sharing, liking, commenting and being such loyal followers of all things Doodlebug :-) For my last Tinsel Time project, I've created a 6"x3" mini album as the season comes to a close and it's now time to memory keep! There's a super fun video showcase at the end of this post to see all the pages, so grab a beverage and some snacks as you scroll on through today's post!

When I saw this darling reindeer, I just had to have him on my front cover! He is from the cute Odds & End ephemera pack and to jazz him up, I've added a Ladybug Sprinkle over his nose to create Rudolph! Isn't he perfect? Then using Doodle Twine and the Icons stickers, I strung a charming ornament line, super cute!

Skipping ahead a page, here is a cute feature, a ticket fold. Add a photo and hidden journaling, or even a cluster of stickers and shape sprinkles! How adorable is the winking Santa mug! I wish I had this as an actual mug heehee!

On the next page, we have extra details here as I love adding vellum! It allows the viewer to still see the patterned paper, which is Dashing Deer,  yet it adds extra areas for photos and/or journaling! How cute are the puffy and sprinkles stickers! Darling. I also love adding tabs to all the pages :-)

This next spread has one of my personal favorite patterned papers; Christmas Candy! How stinkin' cute are the hard rock candies, ribbon candies and the candy canes! One can never have enough to eat and gift! Yummy!

Next page is a fold out spread. On the fold out you can add mini photos, quotes from family, lists and well, just about anything worth documenting. How about a list of your favorite gifts you gave or received!

The candy jars on this spread are so lovely! They are tied with pretty ribbon and ready for gifting! You can flip down the scallop edges which extends the page to have more room for your memories! It's so simple, yet so fun & functional! The Shape Sprinkles give delicate eye candy and twinkle.

And now we come to the last page in this 6"x3" mini album! I stitched the matching cardstock from the Tinsel Time collection and adhered the lamp and sleigh ephemera pieces to the back page. I used pop dots/squares to get the layers to pop, it's the best tip!

Thank you again for popping by crafty crew! I hope you've found inspiration today! Please remember to tag us in our your Socials when you create with Doodlebug so we can all admire your creativity! We love seeing your creations. 

Thanks for stopping by y'all, until next time doodle dee!

TINSEL TIME MERRY & BRIGHT LAYOUT | with Tya

Hello there - I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and wish you and yours well for the upcoming new year! Sooo - now that Christmas has passed, it's the perfect time to dive into all of those festive photos and start preserving those magical memories in scrapbook layouts! For today's post, I'm sharing a fun and festive layout featuring the adorable Tinsel Town collection. As you can see, this cheerful collection is so bright and colorful - it was just a joy to create with!

I based my layout on a favorite photo from my recent trip to Disneyland - because what better way to relive the holiday magic than through a trip to the Happiest Place on Earth? Let's jump into all the details of this project!

I have always wanted to do a layout with a smattering of these 3D stars across it - I have a layout like this pinned to my favorite layout Pinterest board that features this type of embellishing and I knew that with these pretty colors, this would be a great collection and photo to do this embellishing!

My photo is backed with layers of textured cardstock and the pretty plaid paper on the Festive Floral paper is just the right touch for my photo. Since the photo was taken in front of the Christmas tree on Main Street, it seemed right to add a die-cut tree and lights to the layout. These are from the Odds and Ends and cute light strands are from the Bits and Pieces. I also added a few banner strips of pattern papers and Petite Prints from the collection. The silvery mulit -colored dots that I used for my background is the Snow Bright paper and it's perfect!

The "Merry and Bright" title is from the Chit Chat die cuts and I loved how it perfectly summed up my photo of me with my mom and girls - such a fun memory with them!

For my stars, I used a metal die and then used some Textured cardstock and Petite Prints to make them. I scored each point and then folded on the lines to make a few of them 3D. It really adds great dimension to the layout. I also added some little sparkle stickers from the Puffy Stickers, and some of the Sprinkles on some of the centers. For some added sparkle and shine - I used some Stickles glitter glue to accentuate some of the stars.

For my journaling on this layout, I decided to add some hidden journaling tucked behind my photo. I used one of the tags from the Bits and Pieces pack, typed up my journaling and added it to the tag. I topped the tag with some Cupcake Twine and a heart die cut. More sparkle from the Stickles was added here as well. If you find yourself not having a lot of room to journal on your layouts - this technique with the hidden tag is great!

Thank you so much for stopping by the blog today! I hope this layout inspires you to pull out your favorite holiday photos, grab the Tinsel Town collection, and start creating beautiful layouts that beautifully capture your cherished memories. Scrapbooking is such a meaningful way to preserve these moments for future generations to enjoy and connect with. Wishing you all a season filled with joy, creativity, lots of color, and love - Happy Holidays and Happy Scrapping!

TINSEL TIME CHRISTMAS LAYOUT | with Nathalie

Just one more day until we celebrate the jolliest season of the year! I am sure that you are all ready to take the photos, eat the food, open the present, and make the memories. So what better way to relive them than to document them with the fun and beautiful Tinsel Time collection. I pulled some past memories of my children for today's layout:

I just love how this layout came together using a simple design and all the embellishments that I could add here.

I started by framing a piece of the coordinating cardstock with the Berry Merry, and Tinsel Time papers. Next, I pulled pieces from the Odds & Ends pack to create the light garlands under the bell bough at the top of the page.

I decided to back the photos with papers from the 6x6 pad, and then adhered to the base so that they sit right under the light strings. I mixed die cuts from the Bits & Pieces pack to create the large cluster to the right of the photos.

To complete the line of embellishments at the bottom of the photos, I added the cute reindeer Doodle Pop to the left of the photos and then pulled a piece of Chit Chat to create my title.

A few Sprinkles around the embellishments complete this page. I just love it! And I hope it gives you inspiration for your next crafty project featuring Tinsel Time!

I want to take this space to wish you all a blessed Christmas, and may 2025 be filled with joy and peace! XO

TINSEL TIME MINI TAG FOLIO | with Conny

Happy Holidays! Conny here, and I'm excited to share this mini album created with the Tinsel Time collection. For this project, I was inspired to use the tags from the gift-giving 12" x 12" paper, and I am really into folio mini albums right now. I cut out eight tags from the paper to include in this album. You can choose the tags that you like best for your flip tags.

Let's start with the base of the album. I cut three pieces of chipboard: two pieces measuring 4 1/2" x 8 1/2" for the covers and one piece measuring 1" x 8 1/2" for the spine. The pink textured cardstock comes from the 12" x 12" solid assortment paper pack and was cut to measure 12" x 10 1/8". I used my  book cover guide tool to center the chipboard pieces, leaving about 1/8" between the spine and the border around the chipboard, which was about 3/4". I applied double-sided tape and liquid glue to adhere the elements together.

To cover the chipboard inside, I used festive floral paper measuring 8 3/8" x 10 1/8". For the tags, to turn them into flip pages, I cut eight pieces of white cardstock, each measuring 4" x 4". Score one side at 2" and adhere your tags on top, making sure the paper is facing the right way for the tags to open correctly. I punched a hole at the top of each tag and added a ribbon. A few tags were embellished with odds and ends, enamel dots, and stickers from the collection.

The pages in the middle of the spine, measure 8" x 8 1/2". I scored on the longest side at 4" and 4 1/2". I then adhered the 1/2" sections to the spine one after the other. I embellished the pages using odds and ends, stickers, enamel dots, Doodle Pops, and more. The process for the base and pages can be found on my YouTube channel.

You can find a quick YouTube video here.  Thank you so much for stopping by! I love sharing with you all my creative ways of making projects. Happy crafting! XO

TINSEL TIME MANTLE FOLIO SCRAPBOOK | with Jen

Christmas is almost here! With kids and the excitement of what Santa will bring what better way to document the chaos than a mini album? I created this Here Comes Santa folio as both a folio and a decor piece! I used the Tinsel Time Mantle SVG File to make a big version of what has got to be the cutest Odds and Ends piece ever for the front of my album. I used the Puffy Icons for the little Christmas village on the mantle. I used Glitter Sprinkles for the garland and the stockings from the Odds and Ends pack.

I made the fireplace area into a simple shaker. The album is constructed so that it will stand so it can double as a decor piece during the holidays as well.

Inside there is a section for your photos of decorating the tree and your visit with Santa.

In the rest of the folio there is lots of room for pictures and a couple of pockets for other memorabilia you may want to save.

The top of the folio has flip book style pages that will hold cropped 4x6 pictures.

Underneath there is a mini layout page for a cute photo in front of the tree on Christmas Eve.

A full, free tutorial on how to make this entire project is linked below.

Have a great day!

TINSEL TIME EXPLOSION BOX | with Traci

Hey guys! Traci here and today, I have a really fun project for you that uses the fabulous Tinsel Time Collection and a brand new explosion box by Scrapbook.com. It has so many fun layered pages, pockets, and cute Doodlebug surprises inside. It would make a great Christmas gift idea!

The box measures 5x5 inches and comes already made so all you have to do is decorate it. I started by covering the bottom half of the box in the pretty 12x12 paper called Festive Floral.  

On the lid, I added the red polka dot print (Berry Merry) and the white star paper (Tree Trimmings). I used a 3" scalloped circle punch and a 2.5" circle punch to create a mat, then added the Merry Christmas Doodle-pops.

When the lid is lifted, the box's layers unfold to reveal ...

... all of these wonderful pages filled with cute papers, die cuts, and Doodle-pops. Because I can be a Doodle-pops hoarder, I'm super proud of myself for using so many here. Look how fabulous they all are!

In between each set of pages is a heart shape that connects one section to the next. These fold in half and tuck neatly inside when you close the box. Doesn't the red Berry Merry paper highlight the heart perfectly?

In the center, I added a wreath die cut from the Odds & Ends. I love the beautiful details on this, and ... its shape mimics the scalloped mats on the pages around it. I love glitter dots so I added a few for sparkle.

Each of the 4 sections has 3 built-in pocket pages. Above, I added the adorable So Endeering Doodle-pops to the front page. She's so cute with her little pink collar.

Here are some decorating ideas for the inside pages ...

I covered each one in a pretty 12x12 print and created different shaped mats for interest. I love the way Doodlebug's papers always match and work perfectly together. Mixing them is easy and always looks great.

All the circular mats were created with the same 3" and 2.5" punches that I used for the lid. The square mats are the same size but I cut them out. Oh! And do you see the Jolly St. Nick Doodle-pops above? So cute.

Here, you can also spot the Christmas Cottage and the Christmas Candy Doodle-pops. ... Dear Santa, I want a pink house just like that one, please.

I had so much fun decorating this little explosion box. The Tinsel Time Collection makes every project fun and so, so cute!! I hope today's project inspires you to create something wonderful. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
