Santa outside my window

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 a wintery Christmas scene made with die-cuts.

I started with an embossed background then cut the red window frame and added foam tape to the back.  I created the Santa sled scene with another die cut and black cardstock.  After putting it all together, I added a sprig of greenery and a silver bow. 

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!

My project features a snowy and festive house-front created with Yuletide Lane Bundle by Concord & 9th. This card took me a lot of time to create as I'm not one to have a lot of patience when it comes to dealing with a lot of parts, but I persevered.  Now that I've created this one, I can use it as a template, and I know it will get faster next time around.

Christmas [or not] Bingo Challenges has a brand-new challenge ready for you!

Each challenge, CBC features a fresh Bingo card filled with fun and creative prompts - and while it's not your typical game of BINGO, the rules are simple:

Choose at least three items from ONE column and include them in your project.

This is a just-for-fun challenge, but it's a great way to get inspired - and you could earn a Winner or Top Pick Badge to proudly display on your bog or socials!

For my project, I picked the "G" column, which includes:

• Valentine - Red - Pearls/Gems - Die cuts / Ephemera

I had so much fun working with these elements - they really pushed my creativity!

I used French Kiss papers and ephemera by Doodlebug Designs to create my Valentine's Day card. The package came with so many cute and fun images it was hard to choose!  After created a small shaker pocket, I went about assembling my card and finished it off with some pearls in the corner.

Make sure to visit the Christmas [or not] BINGO Challenges blog to check out the full BINGO card and get inspired by the Design Team's creations. Then it's your turn - we can't wait to see what you make!

My project features Christmas gift tags using tag dies from Penny Black, Maker's Movement and Paper Smooches.  The tree dies were purchased from Amazon.

After running the tag dies through the Big Shot, I used a snowflake embossing folder to create the background and finished it off the Joy sentiment by Concord & 9th.
