Samantha created a beautiful card in lovely shades of green!


Samantha began her study in green by water-coloring with Distress Inks in Pine Needles, Mowed Lawn, Twisted Citron and Squeezed Lemonade.


Next, she die-cut the Stitched Poinsettia leaves from Cilantro cardstock, inking each leaf with more Pine Needles Distress ink. She also cut more leaves from vellum to let the background colors show through. She arranged the leaves in a wreath design before adding machine stitching.


Last, Samantha added a white embossed greeting from Mice on Ice!

Thank you for sharing this amazing inspiration, Samantha!

We will also be highlighting a few of your fabulous projects at the close of each challenge!

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


Karin was inspired to create this gorgeous design using the sketch literally! She featured Puffy Star Stackables, that she inked and arranged beautifully! Adding the sweet little bird from Magic Iris Birdhouse Add-On makes for charming detail!

Christy got really creative and replaced the stars from the sketch with fun rooftop vignettes in her light-hearted holiday card! She used a combination of Rooftop Border and Ho-Ho-Holidays!

Samantha replaced the stars with the adorable Mice on Ice! She placed them on chunks of ice from Critters in the Arctic and Beary Happy Holidays along with a sprinkling of Mini Snowflakes!

Joyce also used Puffy Star Stackables in creating her super cute sketch inspired design! I love how she used the negative space for tucking in the little Say What? Christmas Critters!

Caly‘s beautiful Christmas card design replaces the stars in the sketch with Mini Wreaths! I love the cheery colors she used with the red berries and bows! She included the lovely sentiment from Snow Day!

Jessica‘s gorgeous card is so amazing! She used bright jewel colors for the String of Lights that stand in for the sketch stars. She placed her sentiment, combining Scripty Merry and Merry Messages, according to the sketch.

Franci‘s pastel Christmas cards are so sweet and happy! She recreated the card sketch with Puffy Star Stackables and Winter Unicorn! The wonderful die cut greetings are from Winter Big Scripty Words!

Samantha created an adorable design with an all-over pattern of cute Ho-Ho-Holidays reindeer! One even has a shiny red nose! She used Distress Oxide inks for the beautiful background! For the sentiment she white embossed a greeting from Toboggan Together on Black Licorice cardstock before fussy cutting it and layering it on the strip of vellum. (If you don’t have Samantha’s impressive fussy cutting skills, you could use the Merry Christmas Border instead!)

Jenn interpreted the card sketch with this frosty Jolly Christmas Tree design! She scattered Stitched Snowflakes over the background, then added the pretty joyful wishes greeting that is found in Winter Scripty Sentiments!

I hope you have been inspired by these amazing projects! We will share more Design Team inspiration for you over the next 2 weeks and we’ll announce our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 113 – Holiday Critters tomorrow! Now it’s time for you to get creative!

Joyful Winter Card with Karin

- Nancy Krueger 2 Comments

Happy 2021 Fawnatics friends! This is the last weekend for our New Year challenge; it closes on Sunday January 3 at 11:59PM ET.


Karin has lovely inspiration, with wishes for a joyful winter!

This beautiful scene starts with Over the Mountain Borders stamped in the background along with a gorgeous ink blended sky!

Karin then added Lift the Flap Tree Backdrop to frame this little forest pond. The pond is found in Bayou Backdrop and it’s stamped with the pretty heart trail from Mice On Ice. How cute is the little bear from Car Critters in the “hot cocoa” concession stand? The booth is from Coaster Critters!

Thank you for sharing this lovely and inspiring card with us, Karin!

We hope you are all having a wonderful New Year’s Day! We will have a new challenge for you on Monday!
