Avo Merry Christmas

It’s time for a new challenge over at the FarmQuest Grocery Game Challenge!

This fun and creative challenge blog is all about using grocery-themed items in your projects — think produce, pantry staples, baked goods, or anything you’d find at your local market!

The theme for our current challenge is — as always — Anything Food Goes! That means you have the freedom to create with any food-inspired images, elements, or designs your crafty heart desires. 

For my project, I created a Christmas card using the stamp set Avo Christmas by Pawsome Stamps.


I stamped the images onto Copic paper and used Copic markers to color the images.  I ran the red cardstock through my Big Shot using Lots of Dots embossing folder by Taylored Expressions.  

Head over to the FarmQuest Grocery Game Challenge blog to see all the delicious inspiration from our Design Team, and don’t forget to link up your own food-themed creation. We can’t wait to see what you cook up!

Happy crafting!

Trees, Trees and a Deer

FarmQuest Country Christmas Challenge has a brand-new challenge for you to join! 

This challenge blog is all about celebrating the cozy, rustic charm of country life during the holidays — think barns, wildlife, snow-covered fields, and all things outdoorsy and festive! 

Each challenge is Anything Goes, as long as it captures that country Christmas feel.

We are a just-for-fun challenge, but you could earn our Grand Champion Winner Badge (with a Guest DT invite) or proudly display our Wintery Top 3 Badge on your blog or socials.

My project features trees and deer, with the backgrounds created using Peaceful Pince Create-in-Quads stencils by Taylored Expressions.  The deer was created using dark brown glitter paper and Small Nordic Reindeer die-cut by Gummiapan.



If you ever need to create multiple cards quickly, these stencils are amazing.  You can create 4 cards at one time with these stencils.

I can’t wait see what you create — and don’t forget to check out the blog for beautiful inspiration from the rest of the Design Team!

Happy crafting!
