Hey friends, it’s Christy here with another card for our Inspiration Board Challenge! For this card I wanted to use one of my favorite stamp sets of the year, Winter Birds! I adore birds and I get a lot of cardinals in my yard, so this set has a special place in my heart. I also brought in the Winter Birds Add-On, to give my cardinals a warm place to go to get out of the snow! I stamped all the images out with Jet Black Ink, colored them with Copic markers, and trimmed them out with the matching dies.


For the background, I started with a piece of Spiffier Speckles 6×6 paper trimmed down with the second largest of the Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables. I blended Distress Oxide Inks around the edges, using Shaded Lilac first, then a little Dusty Concord at the corners. Then I splattered on some white acrylic paint.


While that was drying, I trimmed out a piece of Barn Red Cardstock to be slightly larger than the focal panel, and then also trimmed out some Knit Picky Winter 6×6 paper with the largest of the Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables. I adhered this to a Speckled Eggshell card base and popped the focal panel up with foam tape. I added a sentiment at the bottom, stamped in Lobster Ink, and adhered my images with liquid glue, then finished with a bit of Stardust Stickles.



This card is Day 18 of my 2023 Holiday Card Series, so if you’d like to see how it came together, you can check out the video tutorial on my YouTube channel, Christy Gets Crafty! We hope you’re enjoying our Inspiration Board challenge. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Samantha‘s sweet interactive card is inspired by the song, “White Christmas”!


On the front of her card, Samantha used elements from Christmas Dreams! The little dog is dreaming of snow using the thought bubbles and a snowflake from Winter Birds.

Samantha’s soft color palette of light aqua and pink combines pastel Shimmer cardstock, Pixie Dust cardstock and papers from Spiffier Speckles and Watercolor Wishes Petite Paper packs.


Inside, the snow-frosted trees from Yeti or Not look so pretty on the Pixie Dust Ta-Da! Diorama! Hillside Inserts! Samantha added more glittery beauty with Mini Snowflakes on the background.

I love this beautiful inspiration, Samantha! Thank you for sharing with us today!
