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!

I hope you have been inspired by these amazing projects! We will share more Design Team inspiration for you over the next 3 weeks and we’ll announce our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 112 – Make the Sentiment the Star tomorrow! Now it’s time for you to get creative!

Christy’s Joy to All Gift Wrapping Scene

- Nancy Krueger 1 Comment

Our Coffee, Tea and Treats challenge will be open until Sunday October 31st at 11:59PM ET. We hope you will join the fun!

Hello friends, it’s Christy here with another card for our Coffee, Tea, and Treats Challenge! For this card, I created a gift wrap after party! Wrapping gifts is a tradition I look forward to every holiday season, so I decided to share a scene where my hubby is bringing me cocoa to reward me for a job well done. I even included our dog snoozing nearby!

I started by stamping out images from Joy to All, Holiday Helpers, and Christmas Dreams in Jet Black Ink, then colored them with Copic markers, and trimmed them out with the matching dies.

For the background, I die cut some Let it Shine Snowflakes 6×6 paper for the wallpaper and some dark brown Woodgrain Cardstock for the floor with the largest of the Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables.

I added in a thin strip of white cardstock for the baseboard. I adhered these to a Guava card base. Then I glued all my images onto the scene, stamped the sentiment in Lobster Ink, and added a bit of Stardust Stickles for that Christmas magic.



If you’d like to watch this fun card come together and see how I finished off the inside, check out the video tutorial on my YouTube channel, Christy Gets Crafty!

If you’d like to play along in our Coffee, Tea, and Treats Challenge, you still have time to enter! We can’t wait to see what you create!

Thank you so much for sharing this charming inspiration with us today, Christy!

Christy‘s absolutely gorgeous card says Autumn loud and clear! She used lots of new sets, You Autumn Know, Scripty Autumn Sentiments and Fall Leaves Background Stencils to create the feeling of Fall! She brought in the challenge theme with Thanks a Latte mugs filled with steaming coffee and cocoa!

Franci‘s pair of cards feature a charming mix of Love You a Latte and Snow Day bunnies along with Milk and Cookies! I love the diagonal stripes of the Let it Shine paper framing the collage panels!

Samantha‘s treats have a decidedly Halloween theme! Her fantastic scene features Fox Costumes Before ‘n Afters with images from Purrfectly Wicked, Purrfectly Wicked Add-On and treats from A Creature Was Stirring! The Bayou Backdrop in purple glitter cardstock creates lots of spooky vibes!

I love how Karin paired the Den Sweet Den bear with the cookie and jar from Milk and Cookies! The steaming hot beverage looks so cute in this sweet little scene!

What is better than enjoying a cup of hot chocolate on Christmas morning? These cute kids are happy and cozy on the sofa by the Joy to All Christmas tree! Joyce included the family cat in the fun in this happy scene!

Samantha‘s shaker card is so clever! She used Outside In Stitched Mug and Stitched Mug Frame and filled the shaker with cocoa-color sequins and snowflakes! The adorable little marshmallows add to the fun! The cool peppermint stripe background was created using Simple Stripes: Diagonal!

Caly‘s cheery design features Thanks a Latte mugs in a Reverse Stitched Scalloped Circle Window! The Let it Shine Snowflakes papers add to the frosty fun of this gorgeous card!

Jenn is sending sweet encourage-mint with our new How You Bean? Mint Add-On and a Lovely Latte paper-pieced mug! I love the pretty minty green and brown color combo that she carried out with Cracked Pistachio Oxide ink and Chocolate Bar cardstock! The Quilted Backdrop lets a little more minty green peek through while the Stitched Woodgrain Backdrop grounds the vignette!
