Holiday Card Series #12

Hello friends! Today I'm happy to be bringing you Day 12 of my 2019 Holiday Card Series! I'm featuring the adorable Hello Bluebird O Christmas Tree stamp set. These sweet critters decorating their Christmas tree are the cutest! I colored them all with Copic markers and trimmed them out with the matching dies.

Then I took the Winter Woods Overlay and die cut it out of white cardstock, then added some detail with Copics to make them look like birch trees -- my favorite! I popped that up with foam tape over a sheet of patterned paper from the Carta Bella Snow Much Fun 6x6 pad to create my night sky. Then I adhered my images with more foam tape and liquid glue.

To finish up the card, I adhered it to a Mermaid card base, added a Chili Pepper sentiment using the Lawn Fawn Simple Wavy Banners, and added -- you guessed it! -- Crystal Stickles!

25 Days of Christmas Tags + Holiday Card Series #11

Hello friends! I'm so happy to be joining in Tracey McNeely's 25 Days of Christmas Tags! I have been participating in this event since 2014! It's such a fun one because there is just so much incredible inspiration from so many talented card makers and so many awesome sponsored prizes from all your favorite companies!

I am representing Lawn Fawn and Lawn Fawnatics with a fun snow globe shaker tag featuring Ready, Set, Snow, Fairy Frosty Friends, and the fox from Critters in the Forest. I masked off my images and colored the scene in with Copic markers.

I used the Ready, Set, Snow Shaker Add-on to form the pieces of my tag and filled the inside with a mixture of Chunky Iridescent Glitter and Tiny Star Confetti. I topped it with a Twine Loop and Bow so it can be added to a gift or even hung as an ornament on the Christmas tree.

To check out how this shaker tag came together, click below or watch in HD on YouTube. This is also Day 11 of my 2019 Holiday Card Series so I really hope you enjoy it!

Holiday Card Series #10 + Lawn Fawnatics November Feature

Hello friends! Happy Friday! Today I'm excited to be featured over on the Lawn Fawnatics Blog with another card for our Fun with Dies challenge! I'm bringing out an oldie but goodie -- Winter Bunny!

Holiday Card Series #9

Hi friends! Today I'm happy to bring you Card #9 in my 2019 Holiday Card Series! This time I wanted to showcase one of my favorite holiday pastimes -- baking! And the adorable Neat & Tangled Holiday Baking stamp set was perfect for that. These cute critters just make me smile!

I colored them up with Copic markers and trimmed them out with the matching dies. Then I adhered two coordinating prints of patterned paper from the Pebbles Merry Little Christmas 6x6 to my card base. Over top of that, I popped up a white panel using the Avery Elle Oval Burst die, and adhered my images with a mix of foam tape and liquid glue.

To finish the card, I added a white, heat embossed sentiment trimmed down using one of the banners from the Neat & Tangled Scalloped dies and some Crystal and Christmas Red Stickles. And of course, I also finished off the inside, which you can check out in the video. If you enjoy it, I would love for you to click that like button and leave me a comment or subscribe!

Holiday Card Series #8 + Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #65

Hello friends, happy Monday! Welcome to Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #65 where we are showcasing the fun you can have with dies! For my card, I decided to make a follow up to my last video in my Holiday Card Series, where Santa was off delivering gifts on his snowboard. This card is all about Mrs. Claus! While her hubby is away, she's doing what she does best -- feeding the troops after a job well done!

I combined images from a bunch of sets, including Ho-Ho-Holidays, Holiday Helpers, Christmas Dreams, Toboggan Together and Forest Feast. I colored them all with Copic markers and trimmed them out with the matching dies.

I decided it would be fun to showcase the scene comic book style, using the Peekaboo Backdrop to frame it up into sections. I die cut it three times out of Narwhal cardstock and layered them up to give them a little more depth, and adhered it over a piece of Snow Day Remix patterned paper. Then I added a floor using Dolphin cardstock and adhered my images to their respective windows.

I finished up the card with a white heat embossed sentiment on a Chili Pepper Everyday Sentiments Banner and a little Crystal Stickles for some sparkle and shine. I also stamped on the inside, which you can check out in the video. If you enjoy it, please consider hitting that like button or subscribing to my channel!

And now its time to head over to the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge Blog and check out the other amazing design team creations. And then you can bust out your favorite dies to play along!

Christy Gets Crafty with My Favorite Things - November

Hello and welcome to the November edition of Christy Gets Crafty with My Favorite Things! Today I'm bringing you a card with the cutie pie Polar Penguins. Sometimes I like to do something unexpected with my holiday color palette, so instead of using the traditional black on the penguins, I mixed things up a bit and colored them navy blue, with lots of peach, red, and aqua accents.

I trimmed them out with the matching dies, then created a little scene for them to live in with a Distress Oxide sky, and a few Snowy Hillsides, which I added some texture to with the sweater print from the Winter Stencil Strips.

I layered my scene on top of some Sweet Celebration 6x6 paper, which I trimmed down with the A2 Stitched Rectangle STAX Die-Die-Namics, and adhered the whole thing to a Coral Crush card base. To finish things off, I added a greeting that I white heat embossed onto Blu Raspberry cardstock and a little glitter glue for some sparkle and shine.

I also finished up the inside, which you can check out in the video! Click below or watch in HD on the My Favorite Things YouTube Channel. And don't forget to like and leave me a comment to let me know how enjoyed this card! It truly means the world. I hope you all have an amazing day!

Fawn Holiday Week + Holiday Card Series #7

Hello friends! Welcome to Fawny Holiday Week! There is going to be so much inspiration over on the Lawn Fawn Blog today, and all week long, so be sure to hop over there and check it out!

For my card, I wanted to do a modern twist on Santa. So instead of riding in his sleigh, he's snowboarding in to toss his gifts down the chimneys of the village below! Haha! I used Ho-Ho-Holidays, Yeti or Not, Ready, Set, Snow and Tiny Christmas.

I thought it would be fun to have the little dog be the only witness to Santa's shenanigans, because of course, everyone else is fast asleep in their beds, as they should be on Christmas Eve!
