Christy is taking us to a polar bear puppet show!


Hey friends, it’s Christy here with another card for our Sparkle and Shine Challenge! I’ve made it no secret how much I love the Treat Cart. I just think it is such a versatile image and I love reimagining new uses for it. Well, this time I’ve come up with a Christmas puppet theater! I added in images from Treat Cart Add-on: Coffee, Snow Much Fun, Den Sweet Den, Christmas Dreams, Car Critters, and the Car Critters Christmas Add-on. I colored all the images with Copic markers and trimmed them out with the matching dies.


For my focal panel, I cut down a piece of Bristol with the largest Outside In Stitched Rectangle Stackables and blended on Distress Oxide Inks. I used Shaded Lilac, Dusty Concord, and Villainous Potion, then added a snowstorm over top of Gansai Tambi Starry Colors and white acrylic paint. I added two Stitched Hillside Borders snowdrifts and stamped a sentiment across the bottom in black ink. I glued the focal panel to a Hyacinth card base, then adhered my images with a mix of foam tape and liquid glue. And of course, I finished off the card with a lot of Stardust Stickles.


If you’d like to see the whole process of this card’s creation, 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 Sparkle and Shine Challenge. Have a spectacular day and Merry Christmas!

Design Team Inspiration


Catherine chose the Peppy Penguin for her holiday critters, and they are so cute! She stacked the penguins on a Build-A-Christmas Tree. She used Snowy Sky Stencil and Candy Cane Lane paper for the background. Catherine borrowed the earmuffs from Build-A-Snowman, altering them slightly so they fit the penguins.


It’s Christmas on the farm and the goats are wrapping gifts! Samantha‘s clever scene combined Christmas Dreams and Yeti or Not trees on a Stitched Hillside Backdrop: Landscape. Then she brought in the fun with You Goat This and Holiday Helpers!


Franci‘s adorable gift tags feature Cheesy Christmas on Tag, You’re It tags! She cut the tags from Candy Cane Lane paper and added a Stitched Hillside Border to each tag.


The holiday critters in Christy‘s design are having a busy night helping Santa deliver gifts! She used Simply Celebrate Santa, Ho-Ho-Holidays and Holiday Helpers images. Then she made a fun scene with Rooftop Border and the greeting with Finley’s ABCs.


The Car Critters bears are on the road to a joyful winter! Karin also used Car Critters Christmas Add-On and trees from Yeti or Not. The joyful sentiment is from Mice on Ice. Then she added a gold metallic Scripty Joy.


It’s a super fun holiday party with the Cheesy Christmas mice! Joyce created the happy scene on a Knit Picky Winter background. She stamped the mice sentiment on a Stitched Sentiment Banner.


How cute are the Furry and Bright pups playing in the deep snowdrifts! Samantha combined Puffy Cloud Borders with a Stitched Hillside Border to make all the snow. For the backdrop, she used Birch Tree Stencils with Unchartered Mariner and Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide ink. Then she added snowflakes with Snowflake Background Stencils and glittery stencil paste!


I just love how Mimi combined Hay There, Hayrides with Cheesy Christmas so the cute critters have a wagon to bring in the Christmas cheese tree! She made the background with an inked Stitched Wavy Backdrop. Then she added Simply Celebrate Winter trees, the Hay There barn and snow from Snowball Fight. She got so creative adding reindeer antlers and a red nose for Car Critters Christmas Add-On to the tractor!

We will have more Design Team inspiration for the Holiday Critters challenge over the next 2 weeks! Be sure to come back tomorrow when we’ll announce our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 184 – Holiday Inspiration!
