Caly‘s gorgeous card is directly influenced by the inspiration image using the beautiful cool color palette! She used Distress ink in Mowed Lawn, Peacock Feathers, Chipped Sapphire and Broken China for the Mini Snowflakes and used Tumbled Glass to add the frosty color to the background! Happy Holidays Line Border provides the holiday greeting!

Samantha C featured our sweet snow bunny from Critters in the Arctic in her lovely wintry scene! For the background she used Itsy Bitsy Polka Dot Backdrop, Mini Snowflakes and birch trees from Joy to the Woods!

Jessica create a fun seaside scene for her cute puffins from our new Valentine set, Stud Puffin! She used Stitched Wave Borders and Just Stitching Hearts to complete this lovely design!

Joyce created an adorable Christmas card with the Hang in There sloth! She added fun holiday accessories from Cheery Christmas, Toboggan Together and Say What? Christmas Critters! The little birds from Open Me are ready to celebrate!

Samantha M used alcohol ink to create a frosty North Pole sky! Then she used the Snow Cool penguins, igloo and “snowpenguin” to fill the happy scene!

Franci used the blues and greens from the Inspiration Board in soft shades then added a pop of golden yellow! The Sealed with a Kiss cuties are ready for the holiday festivities!

Christy‘s card is “unbelievably” awesome! She combined critters from Lovable Legends, Yeti or Not and Believe in Yourself to create this “legendary” scene!

Karin cleverly incorporated the inspiration colors in the scarves on the Mice on Ice! Her Reveal Wheel card uses Snowfall Backdrop, Forest Border, Reveal Wheel Square Add-On and Reveal Wheel Holiday Sentiments!

Jenn inked up panels of white cardstock with Lawn Fawn ink in Moonstone, Forget-Me-Not and Deep Sea then used them to die cut the Stitched Snowflakes. For the background she ink-smooshed with Lawn Fawn Peacock ink then spritzed it with water mixed with Liquid Stardust! The Scripty Thanks in Cilantro cardstock adds a beautiful pop of brightness!


We will share Design Team inspiration for you over the next 3 weeks and we’ll announce our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 66 tomorrow!

Christy’s Winter Wonderland Card!

- Nancy Krueger 1 Comment

Hey everyone, it’s Christy here with another card for our Fun with Dies Challenge! As I’ve been flipping through my Lawn Fawn stamp sets lately, I’ve been pausing often on Winter Bunny. He may have been around for a while, but in my opinion, he’s a classic! And today is his day to shine as the one and only colored image on my card, amidst a winter wonderland created with dies.

After he was colored with Copic markers and trimmed out with his matching die, I set him aside while I created a background using Distress Oxide inks. I sprinkled the background with some Liquid Stardust for a pretty little splash of shimmer when you tip the card into the light. Then I took a few snowflake images from Ready, Set, Snow, and stamped those on the background in purple. I cut down the panel and added some stitching detail with the Outside In Stitched Rectangle Stackables and adhered it to a light purple card base.

I had this vision for the scene with giant snowflakes tumbling out of the sky, so I die cut a bunch out of white cardstock using Stitched Snowflakes and glued those down to the top half of the card, and trimmed off any excess. Then I added the Forest Border, also in white, for Winter Bunny to sled down.

To finish off the card, I added a Scripty Joy sentiment die-cut out of red cardstock, then layered over the top a white heat embossed sentiment from Ho-Ho-Holidays. And of course, a little sparkly glitter glue the tips of all the snowflakes and Winter Bunny‘s scarf. I also finished off the inside with an appearance from Winter Fox, which you can check out if you like in the video tutorial on my YouTube channel, Christy Gets Crafty.

If you’re feeling inspired to pull out those dies and get crafting, not to worry! You still have time to play along in our Fun with Dies challenge. We can’t wait to see what you create!

Our Fun with Dies challenge will be open until Sunday, December 1st at 11:59PM ET.

Wishing you all a very happy and crafty weekend!
