Design Team Inspiration


Catherine chose the Peppy Penguin for her holiday critters, and they are so cute! She stacked the penguins on a Build-A-Christmas Tree. She used Snowy Sky Stencil and Candy Cane Lane paper for the background. Catherine borrowed the earmuffs from Build-A-Snowman, altering them slightly so they fit the penguins.


It’s Christmas on the farm and the goats are wrapping gifts! Samantha‘s clever scene combined Christmas Dreams and Yeti or Not trees on a Stitched Hillside Backdrop: Landscape. Then she brought in the fun with You Goat This and Holiday Helpers!


Franci‘s adorable gift tags feature Cheesy Christmas on Tag, You’re It tags! She cut the tags from Candy Cane Lane paper and added a Stitched Hillside Border to each tag.


The holiday critters in Christy‘s design are having a busy night helping Santa deliver gifts! She used Simply Celebrate Santa, Ho-Ho-Holidays and Holiday Helpers images. Then she made a fun scene with Rooftop Border and the greeting with Finley’s ABCs.


The Car Critters bears are on the road to a joyful winter! Karin also used Car Critters Christmas Add-On and trees from Yeti or Not. The joyful sentiment is from Mice on Ice. Then she added a gold metallic Scripty Joy.


It’s a super fun holiday party with the Cheesy Christmas mice! Joyce created the happy scene on a Knit Picky Winter background. She stamped the mice sentiment on a Stitched Sentiment Banner.


How cute are the Furry and Bright pups playing in the deep snowdrifts! Samantha combined Puffy Cloud Borders with a Stitched Hillside Border to make all the snow. For the backdrop, she used Birch Tree Stencils with Unchartered Mariner and Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide ink. Then she added snowflakes with Snowflake Background Stencils and glittery stencil paste!


I just love how Mimi combined Hay There, Hayrides with Cheesy Christmas so the cute critters have a wagon to bring in the Christmas cheese tree! She made the background with an inked Stitched Wavy Backdrop. Then she added Simply Celebrate Winter trees, the Hay There barn and snow from Snowball Fight. She got so creative adding reindeer antlers and a red nose for Car Critters Christmas Add-On to the tractor!

We will have more Design Team inspiration for the Holiday Critters challenge over the next 2 weeksBe sure to come back tomorrow when we’ll announce our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 184 – Holiday Inspiration!

Samantha joins us today with fantastic inspiration for Christmas in July!


Christmas Fishes plays nicely with the cute scuba diver from You Are Sublime! Samantha gave the diver fun Christmas vibes with the Santa hat and beard from Ho-Ho-Holidays. She even gave him Santa’s sack of toys! The sentiment from You Are Sublime looks amazing white embossed on vellum Stitched Sentiment Banners.


I love the watercolor background that Samantha created with Distress inks and the “smooshing” method. She smooshed the ink pads on a piece of clear stamp packaging with a little spritz of water before applying the ink to a panel of cardstock. She kept adding different inks and building color until she got the blend she liked. Then she let the panel dry before using a blending tool to add more ink to deepen the color.

Your underwater Christmas scene is so brilliant, Samantha! Thanks for inspiring us today!
