Holiday Critters for Lawn Fawn

If you were to ask me a few months back if a Yeti was a critter, I'd say "Oh, heck no!"

But enter the Lawn Fawn Yeti or Not Stamp Set and dies . . . they are adorable critters.  I used them to create some 6 x 6 gift card holders for some folks in my life.  

 I used some combined supplies to create these five boxes . . . including paper from Carta Bella . . .

 Sentiment stamp and die cut words from Catherine Pooler Designs . . .

Love how these turned out and can't wait to gift them. 

I hope you found some time to create this weekend.

Went pure color today on this one for Color Throwdown.

In this particular case, I let my pattern papers do all the talking.  I added a stamped sentiment, and some dimension with the fold-over corner.

Monochromatic Mint

Sharing a card inspired by Use Your Stuff challenge blog, where the inspiration this week was a color challenge . . . mint. 

I got a bit monochromatic for my card . . .

Shades of mint with some black and white sentiments.  My "Nice" sentiment was stamped on a heat resistant acetate.  A different look! 

I hope you find some time to create.

Dear Santa, I Can Explain . . .

The prompt at Inkspirational Challenges was "Naughty".  I couldn't resist playing around using a stamp set in my stash that came right into my head.

The sentiment on this stamp set screamed "naughty" to me.  This little guy had to explain himself, as it appears he has lots of letters to Santa . . . not sure what his story is.  Did he take them out of the mailbox?  Did he write multiple letters to Santa?  I can only imagine his naughty story.  

I had the mailbox embellishment sticker in a kit, and dug it out.  I thought an actual envelope would make a cool background element for the card, so I created my scene on a scrap of white cardstock with some dimension, and then adhered it to a small envelope for some added dimension. 

I hope you are able to carve in some time to create today.

Two Cards for Two Challenges

Created two cards using a card kit that still had some supplies left.  The first one is for Use Your Stuff challenge, where the prompt was snow. 

I stamped and fussy cut my penguins and my igloo.  I let my pattern paper serve as that snowy background and used a "snow" sentiment.  And my igloo gets that sheen from me piping some Liquid Glass . . . ice block by ice block! 

And using the same kit of supplies and the inspiration from Always Fun Challenge, I created a second card and used up my kit!  For this one, the prompt was Snowman. 

For this one, I stamped and fussy cut my snowman, along with stamped and fussy cut mittens, hat and scarf.  

I hope you find some time to create today.
