Stirring Up Holiday Critter Fun in the Kitchen with Jess!

- Nancy Krueger 4 Comments

We hope you are having fun with the Happy Holiday Critters challenge! It will be open for 2 more weeks so you have plenty of time to get crafty with your critter sets and play along!

Good morning! Jess here with a card for our current Holiday Critters challenge! This is such a fun way to focus on all the adorable critters Lawn Fawn has to offer!

To start I blended Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide ink over the Brick stencil onto a panel of Strathmore Bristol smooth cardstock focusing the color on the top right of each brick to give it a little color. I wanted the effect of white subway tiles in my kitchen scene! Next I used Copic markers to sketch a granite countertop and adhered it to the brick background panel.

Then I stamped a bunch of images from A Creature was Stirring, Baked with Love, and Sprinkled with Joy using Copic-friendly Jet Black ink and then colored them with Copic markers. I die-cut them with the coordinating dies and added a few accents with a white gel pen.

I arranged all the images onto my kitchen scene and adhered them with a mix of regular adhesive and foam mounting tape for a little extra dimension. Then I die-cut the Mini String of Lights from white cardstock and silver glitter cardstock. I colored the light bulbs with Copic markers and then adhered them to the silver light strand. I adhered them to the scene and then added a sentiment from A Creature was Stirring heat-embossed on black cardstock. Once everything was adhered I added a little glitter to the lights and coated them with Nuvo crystal glaze for shine. Finally I finished the card by adding a little grit paste to the spoons and scene for a little messy frosting! 😉

And that’s it! You have two more weeks to get crafty and I can’t wait to see what you’ll create! Thanks so much for stopping by and have a fantastic weekend!

Joyce’s Slimline Christmas Tree Card

- Nancy Krueger 3 Comments

Joyce created an amazing slimline card to inspire us for the Oh Christmas Tree challenge! This challenge will be open until Sunday November 15 at 11:59PM ET.

Joyce built this gorgeous card starting with a Large Slimline with Sliders stitched rectangle. She ink blended the background and stenciled with the Snowflake Trio!

Joyce used Outside In Stitched Christmas Tree Stackables for the three trees. Then she used Mini String of Lights and Woodland Critter Huggers Winter Add-On to add lots of festive fun!

The only stamping on this amazing card is the sweet sentiment from the Tiny Christmas mini stamp set! It’s perfect for this merry and bright card design!

Thanks for sharing with us today, Joyce! Your card is fantastic!
