Oh, my goodness, Samantha certainly put the color palette to wonderful use! Her “Hello Fall” card is just too charming and so colorful!


Samantha is known for her whimsical color choices, so this color palette is perfect for her! From purple trees and grass to a sage colored beaver with a rainbow tail, this design is brilliant!

She combined the Wood You Be Mine? beaver with a woolen cap from Winter Birds. She colored the leaves from You Autumn Know in jewel tones, then she added the Finley’s ABCs greeting!

Thank you so much for inspiring us today, Samantha!

Samantha was inspired by this amazing underwater scene card by Elena! It features Mermaid for You and Mermaid for You Flip-Flop!


Samantha created her own underwater birthday party scene swapping Manatee-rific for the mermaids! She also used Watercolor Wishes Rainbow paper in the background, using Stitched Ripple Backdrop instead of Sunburst Backdrop. And she used Simple Stitched Wavy Borders for the ocean floor.

Like Elena, Samantha used the cake from Birthday Before ‘n Afters. She also added images from Scootin’ By, Mermaid for You and You Are Sublime. And like her inspiration, she used Scripty Bubble Sentiments, adding Finley’s ABCs to complete her greeting!

Thank you so much for creating this adorable inspiration, Samantha!

It’s time to use all those Lawn Fawn critters in festive holiday designs! Link up your entry photos HERE! Your project should feature Lawn Fawn stamps, dies, stencils and papers and follow the challenge theme. This challenge will be open until Sunday, December 4 at 11:59PM ET.

Hey friends, it’s Christy here with another card for our Holiday Critters Challenge! For this one I decided to make a fun indoor scene with sweet pups getting up to a bit of holiday mischief. I combined images from Furry and Bright and Joy to All, stamped in Jet Black ink and colored them with Copic markers. I trimmed them all out with the matching dies.

Then I created a background using some patterned paper. I chose a tan print from the Let It Shine Starry Skies 6×6 pad to be my wallpaper and the Light Brown Woodgrain Cardstock for a floor, with a strip of leftover Bristol Cardstock for the baseboard. Then I arranged my pups and the holiday elements on the floor, leaving room for a large sentiment above.

Then I spelled out my punny sentiment using Finley’s ABCs die cut from Barn Red Cardstock, and white heat embossed the rest by selectively stamping a phrase from Ho-Ho-Holidays onto Ground Coffee Cardstock. I die cut that with an Everyday Sentiment Banner and trimmed it down to have one flag end and glued that at the top. I finished this card off with a bit of Stardust Stickles for some shine.

If you’d like to watch this card come together, you can check out the video tutorial on my YouTube channel, Christy Gets Crafty! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a happy and crafty weekend!
