Cozy Christmas with Joyce

We are looking for fun and festive holiday projects for our Challenge 128 – Christmas in July! Time to get a jump on your holiday crafting and enter the challenge before Sunday, July 17 at 11:59PM ET. We can’t wait to see how this challenge inspires you!

Joyce has a super sweet and cozy Christmas card to share today!

To create this darling design, Joyce started by using Snowflake Background Stencils to create an all-over pattern. She used Broken China and Prize Ribbon Distress Oxide inks on Mermaid cardstock for a frosty look.

Then she added the Stitched Teapot and Stitched Teacup in happy colors of cardstock. See the supply list below for all the colors she used. She spelled out “cozy” in Henry’s ABCs then added the spoon, sugar cubes and tag as cute details.

Thanks so much for inspiring us today with this beautiful card, Joyce!

It’s Par-Tea Time with Christy

We hope you enjoy today’s inspiration! The challenge gallery is filling up with some amazing creativity and there is room for yours too! The Challenge 125 – Dies Only is a 3-week challenge and will be open until Sunday, June 5 at 11:59PM ET. 

Hey friends, it’s Christy with another card for our Dies Only Challenge! Today I was excited to use the new Stitched Teapot dies. My Grandma ends every day with a cup of tea and it’s her birthday this month, so I thought this was the perfect time to create a tea-themed card for her.

I cut the base of the teapot out of Flower Market 6×6 paper and the rest of the teapot from Sugarplum Cardstock. I also die cut two flowers from the Sugarplum and the centers out of White Cardstock to dress up the teapot. Then I cut the tea bag out of White Cardstock and added some “tea” inside with Copic markers. I used Narwhal Cardstock for the string.

I used more Flower Market 6×6 paper for the wallpaper and tablecloth and added a white doily using the Rooftop Border. Then I die cut the word “Par-Tea” with Finley’s ABCs out of Sugarplum and stamped the rest of the sentiment from the Tea-rrific Day Add-on in Narwhal Ink.

I also finished off the inside of the card, which you can check out in the video tutorial on my YouTube Channel, Christy Gets Crafty!

If you haven’t yet entered our Dies Only Challenge, there is still some time! We can’t wait to see what projects you’ll come up with!

Thanks so much for this charming inspiration, Christy!
