Let’s see what our amazing Design Team created to inspire us!

Samantha‘s whimsical holiday card features our cute unicorns filling in for Santa’s regular reindeer team! The fun pastel color combo adds to the whimsy! She combined Ho-Ho-Holidays, Sweet Christmas, A Little Sparkle and Unicorn Picnic.

It’s a Penguin Party on Joyce‘s very cool Christmas card! She created this happy scene using Stitched Hillside Backdrop: Landscape!

To create her “purr-fect” Christmas scene, Christy shopped her stash to combine lots of images! Surprisingly, the sentiment is a mix of Spooktacular and Baaah Humbug! She found the cute Santa hat in Baaah Humbug as well. Other sets used for this cheery design are: Flirty Frames, Joy to All, Purrfectly Wicked, Furry and Bright, Holiday Helpers and Cheery Christmas!

Caly‘s beautiful slimline card features an older penguin set, Here We Go A-Waddling! This set of carol singing critters comes with the lamp post! Caly used the Christmas Dreams tree and added pretty stenciled snowflakes in the background!

Karin‘s pretty design demonstrates how to use critters from non-holiday sets to create a festive holiday card! She used the Rub-A-Dub-Dub ducks with holiday images from Ho-Ho-Holidays and Winter Village with a sentiment from Frosty Fairy Friends! She added wonderful detail to her design using Fancy Scalloped Rectangle and some cleverly scored lines.

Samantha‘s charming design shows our Yeti or Not critters decorating the forest trees with lights from Furry and Bright and a shiny star! For the background she stenciled with Snowflake Background Stencils!

Jessica used our Beary Happy Holidays bear to fill in for Santa in this happy scene! She used Forest Backdrop over a beautifully inked background and Giant Merry Christmas as her bold greeting! Santa’s sleigh and reindeer are from Ho-Ho-Holidays!

Franci‘s Toadally Awesome card is another example of adding holiday flair with accessories to otherwise non-holiday critters! She built her little scene on a Watercolor Wishes Rainbow panel adding cute holiday touches with Baaah Humbug, a speech bubble from A Birdie Told Me and the word Christmas from Yeti or Not! I love that the fonts match!

Jenn’s trio of adorable cats star in this festive and fun holiday card! She used Purrfectly Wicked for the cats with Baaah Humbug and Furry and Bright hats and holiday accessories. She stenciled snowflakes in the background and added a glittery Oliver’s Stitched ABCs greeting!

Let’s see what our amazing Design Team created to inspire us!

Jessica‘s brilliant design features Giant Let it Snow cut from silver glitter cardstock! She made it stand out by layering it on another die cut in Peacock! For the background, she stenciled Snowflake Background Stencils with Pearl Stencil Paste on Let it Shine Snowflakes 6×6 paper! The she added even more frosty fun with Stitched Snowflakes!

Samantha created a fun interactive design that fits perfectly with the Oliver’s Stitched ABCs sentiment! She added the “zoomin'” critter to a strip of acetate that she secured to the Grassy Border with a brad. As the card is tilted the little fox scoots by!

A super fun way to make the sentiment special is to add it to a fun die cut element! Here, Karin stamped the Magic Messages birthday greeting on an Outside In Stitched Balloon! She finished her card with Cloudy Stencils, Spring Sprig flowers and some cute Dandy Day critters!

Samantha‘s Fall themed card is all about the Giant Sending Big Hugs greeting! She added leaves from You Autumn Know and a happy critter from Snow Much Fun!

Christy created a super fun and punny Finley’s ABCs custom sentiment! It’s the perfect greeting for her charming Merry Mice scene! For the background she continued her color story with a Peppermint Stripes Backdrop!

Franci started her delightful pair of cards with a sentiment from Merry Messages! A sweet image from Snow Globe Scenes carries on the holiday theme along with the Let it Shine Snowflakes paper. For some extra detail, she used Stitched Borders on the white panel.

Joyce spelled out Santa’s famous chuckle in Oliver’s Stitched ABCs for her special design! She used images from Ho-Ho-Holidays and Holiday Helpers in this happy scene!

Caly‘s birthday card is absolutely delightful! She paired Giant Happy Birthday with some cute party-goers from Tiny Birthday Friends!
