Hey friends, it’s Christy here with another card for our Christmas in July Challenge! For this card, I wanted to bring the holidays to the sweet baby capybara from the Capybaras! Add-on. I combined him and his froggy friend with images from Capybaras!, Kanga-rrific Add-on, Joy to All, Ugly and Bright, and Baaah Humbug. I colored them with Copic markers and trimmed them out with the matching dies.


Then I made a background by cutting down a piece of Bristol with the second largest Large Stitched Rounded Rectangle Stackables. I blended on Distress Oxide Inks, using Salvaged Patina with the Cloudy Stencil for the sky, and Antique Linen and Gathered Twigs for the ground. I stamped the sentiment in the top center with black ink.


Then I trimmed down some patterned paper from the Pint-sized Patterns Summertime 6×6 pad with the largest Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables, and another piece from Favorite Flannel with the Stitched Party Banners. I layered these on a Speckled Eggshell card base, popped up the focal panel with foam tape, and then adhered my images with liquid glue. To finish things off, I added a bit of Stardust Stickles.


If you’d like to see the whole process of creating this card, you can check out the video tutorial on my YouTube channel, Christy Gets Crafty. I hope you enjoy it! We can’t wait to see what you create for our Christmas in July Challenge. Have an amazing day!

Thank you so much for sharing with us today, Christy! This card is absolutely beautiful!

Samantha created a fun card with sheep frolicking on the Stitched Mountains! So cute!


Samantha featured the sheep of Baaah Humbug, coloring them with Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers. She added wooly texture with a dark grey marker and white gel pen.


She inked the sky in warm tones, then layered the snow-capped mountains on top. To add a snowy look to the snow caps, Samantha inked them with Lost Shadow Distress Oxide ink.


Thank you so much, Samantha! Your adorable card is so whimsical and fun!

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.

Jenn joins us today with more charming Holiday Critters inspiration!

Jenn’s adorable scene takes the Ugly and Bright critters to the beach for a cozy holiday! She began by stenciling the snowflakes in the background with Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide ink. Then she stamped all the images (see supply list below for the sets she used) with Jet Black Ink before coloring them with Copic markers.

All the glittery accents were adding using Quickie Glue and Prisma and Chunky Glitter.

She inked the Henry’s ABCs with Kitsch Flamingo and Lobster Ink to create a fun ombré, then she covered the lower part of each letter with Chunky Glitter.

As always, Jenn shares a Copic marker chart so you can recreate her cheery coloring!
