Her Treat Cart and Little Woodland Library critters look right at home at their Just Add Glitter tables and chairs!


Mayra‘s yummy-looking treats could definitely be for sale in Mimi’s critter cafe! She’s cleverly combined Build-A-Bunny with Gingerbread Friends and the Build-A-Drink Mug Add-on.


These penguins are fending off the chill with hot drinks and tasty treats on Samantha Casey‘s card. It features images from Penguin Party, Treat Cart, and the Treat Cart Add-on: Coffee.


Franci‘s made the cutest Star Treat Boxes using that gorgeous Ice Blue Bokeh Paper and embellished with the Sweet Christmas Mice!


Samantha Mann‘s Lovely Latte mugs have the sweetest smiles! She’s added some gorgeous texture to her card with vellum leaves from Stitched Pointsetta and a white heat embossed sentiment from Love You A Latte.

Hey friends, it’s Christy here with another card for our Critters Celebrate the Holidays Challenge! I came up with a bit of a crazy concept for this one, and I pulled together a whole bunch of stamp sets to bring it to life. I wanted to capture a critter celebration that I hadn’t really seen before, and decided on penguins at their disco Christmas party! I used Penguin Party, Snow Cool, Toboggan Together, Beary Happy Holidays, Cheesy Christmas, Really High Five, Winter Birds, Unicorn Picnic, and Simply Celebrate Hangouts. Whew! 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 Kitsch Flamingo and Spun Sugar with the Sunray Background Stencil for the light from the disco ball and Salvaged Patina and Shaded Lilac and the Brick Stencil for the walls of the igloo and the ice floor. I also 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 HERE on my YouTube channel, Christy Gets Crafty. I hope you enjoy it! We can’t wait to see what you create for our Critters Celebrate the Holidays Challenge. Have a really cool day!

Hi friends, it’s Samantha! The current challenge is all about those sweet, cute and happy holiday critters, so this time, I decided to make a card with the adorable penguins!



I stamped and colored the images from Penguin Party and Toboggan Together and then colored them in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. I thought it would be so fun to try something different and make the penguins bright and happy in yellow! So fun! I added some details with a white gel pen to finish them off!



I die cut out the frame from Peekaboo Backdrop in white and then popped it up with foam tape. I used Distress Oxide Inks in Pine Needles, Peacock Feathers and Salvaged Patina to add color to the square and rectangle windows for the winter sky. Then I splattered some white acrylic in on top to mimic snow!


I also used the Stitched Hillside Borders to die cut out some hills of snow for behind the frame. I added a very light blending of Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink to the tops so the hills would match the blue tint of the snowballs and snow cones.


I finished the card off by popping up some of the penguins and then sprinkling some silver sequins around the adorable winter scene!

Thank you, Samantha for putting the spotlight on these adorable penguins for the Holiday Critters challenge!
