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!

Get Musical at Get Creative Challenges

A new month brings a new challenge at Get Creative Challenges!

Our theme this month is Sing a Song (musical notes, paper, etc.) Show us your creativity by incorporating music in your creation! 

We are a JUST FOR FUN challenge and I hope you will play along for your chance to proudly display our Winner or Top 3 Badges.

I know Spring is around the corner ... but alas I decided on a Christmas card! I used distress inks on the outside of the paper and on the images.  I heat embossed the sentiment using gold embossing powder and added a few sequins. Quick and easy, perfect for multiples.

Stamps:  Wonderland and Grassy Grove, Stampin' Up!

Distress Inks: Antiqued Linen and Frayed Burlap (images)
