Fawny Holiday Video

Samantha will inspire you today with a creative Christmas wreath tag design! You can watch her video tutorial below or click HERE to watch at our YouTube channel.


Thank you so much for watching, we hope you are inspired!



Samantha‘s cheery wreath design features Giant Be Merry, Stitched Poinsettia and Build-A-Fox with a ring of Stitched Leaves! The happy green, pink and orange color palette is so fun for the holidays!


It’s such a clever design, using an acetate Circle Stackable to build the wreath. There are so many possible variations for making one-of-a-kind wreaths!


Megan‘s joy-filled card is perfect for the coffee or tea lover on your list! She started with Coffee Cup Gift Card Holder, turning it into a snowman using the face from Stitched Teacup and the cute carrot nose from Garden Border! And she added a festive touch using Magic Iris Holly Wreath Add-On. Then she used Scripty Joy and sentiment from Christmas Before ‘n Afters to send a sweet greeting!


Joyce made a cute little tag with shiny gold accents! She layered a gold metallic circle on an All the Sparkles Scalloped Circled Gift Tag. Then she added one of the cute Caroling Mice on a “snowbank” of Pixie Dust cardstock!


Latisha‘s oval-shaped card is so fun and unique! Her Christmas Fishes cuties look so perfect in shades of pink and teal drawn from the All the Sparkles and Candy Cane Lane papers!

A Card and Piñata by Grace


Grace was inspired by a traditional Mexican Christmas Posada celebration to create a whimsical card and mini piñata set! This set is bright and cheery with lots of clever uses for different die sets!


Grace is so creative, and this colorful piñata is proof! She started with a Star Treat Box in gold sparkle cardstock. Before assembling the star, she cut colorful strips of tissue paper, twisting clumps together. She glued these to the inside of each star point, then assembled the star.

She gold embossed a Reveal Wheel Holiday Sentiment on a cardstock circle which she layered on a Fancy Circle Stackable. This was then layered on a Scalloped Circle and embellished with the bow from Christmas Stocking.

Finally, strung a length of Aquamarine cord through the flap end of the star to hang the piñata!


She also created a beautiful Giant Feliz Navidad card featuring more Mexican holiday images! She used Build-A-Drink Mug Add-On, coloring it in terra cotta color along with the traditional Christmas poinsettia!

There’s also a doll called “Lele” which is not necessarily used for posada parties but is a traditional handicraft Mexican toy for children. To create the doll, Grace combined Gingerbread Friends for the doll’s face features and body with Flower Bouquet Wrap for the doll dress, hair and ribbons in the hair and braids made using Cornucopia. She added a collar to the dress using the headband in Build-A-Critter More Costumes, then she decorated the dress with another bow from Christmas Stocking.

  4. Fun inspiration! One if my favourite memories is saving a little tree for my niece to decorate when her family arrived for the holidays close to Christmas- she was delighted to decorate it with her cousins.

  7. Visiting my grandma one year at Christmas time and building a snowman with my aunt. We used plastic bread sacks to cover our shoes so they wouldn’t get wet.

  8. Memories as a child getting stockings filled with nuts and orange and that awful hard canny that looked like ribbon. What great times.

  11. when I received my handmade dollhouse from my parents and they had added a light kit – so I came out Christmas morning and it was all lit up!!!

  12. A favourite holiday memory was celebrating Christmas with the whole family, including cousins, uncles & aunts when my grandma was still alive.

  13. Celebrating Christmas at my grandparents’ house. We lived out of town and so staying at their house with my whole family together. Coming down the stairs Christmas morning and seeing that Santa had been there with lots and lots of presents!!! A new baby doll with a buggy made me so thankful that I had been a really good girl!!!!

  15. Favourite memories are from our big family Christmas celebrations, All the aunts and uncles and cousins. (And I was too young to stress about the food or be expected to help with clean up. Those were the days. Haha).

  17. All my favorite holiday memories are when my daughter was little and everything was so magical. This is the first year i will not see her at Christmas as she has taken a job across the country. I will have to savor all the memories to get me through

  20. One of my favorite memories was the Christmas we gave our children an xbox game called Rockband. Watching them play it together all day and the fun they had still makes me smile.

  22. Favorite holiday memory… taking my daughter’s girl scout troops to sing at the nursing home. They brought so much joy!

  24. When I was young my father had lost his job and was out of work for months on a medical issue and the union helped him get it back with back pay. With a family of six children my parents gave us the best Christmas ever that year. I’ll always remember the large array of gifts under the tree for us all.

  31. The first Christmas after our son was born. He was 3 weeks old and we’d gone through so much to finally have him.

  35. Watching Snoopy on Ice at Knott’s Berry Farm is a great memory, and tradition. It brings me to tears each time Linus talks about the true story of Christmas!!!

  36. Wonderful creations!
    My favorite holiday memory was spending Christmas at my grandparents’ Victorian house. We had gone to church on Christmas Eve and when we returned to the house, Santa was there delivering presents! It was such a thrill to meet him! I must have been about six or seven years old.

  41. I’m the youngest of 3 girls. Every Christmas Eve, after Santa came, and when inevitably one of us needed to use the bathroom, we would walk through the dining room, in the dark, and stand at the entrance to the living room. My oldest sister would quickly turn the dining room light on, and then off again, so we could get a glimpse at the Christmas tree and all of the presents. It felt so magical to see that Santa had really come to our house!

  42. I’ll always remember the year we bought our current home, we celebrated the holidays sitting on the floor of our completely empty house eating pizza!!

  43. My favorite memory is decorating the tree every year. We collect ornaments from our adventures so every year it is a walk down memory lane.

  44. I remember my Mom opening a present and it was a new winter coat. I think we were all in pajamas but she immediately put thst coat on and showed it off.

  48. I love Christmas Eve memories the most. We go to church, have a snack-y meal and watch Charlie Brown Christmas. I love it!

  52. One of my favorite Christmas memories is “helping” my grandmother put up her sparkly silver tinsel tree with the colored light wheel. I just loved that thing as a kid!

  53. One of my favorite holiday memories is of Mom and me buying a frozen Christmas tree while I was living in Norway. For weeks it had been very cold so all the Christmas trees had been frozen solid. We had no idea what our tree was going to look like – but it turned out the most beautiful and perfect tree once it thawed and unfolded it’s branches

  55. Memories of when I was younger are special to me. As you get older and your siblings start passing away. The memories of those years are so special. It seems Christmas was more layed back and now it’s so stressful. Life in general seemed more stress free than it is now.

  58. My favorite memory was when my friend and I didn’t have much to actually buy each other gifts, so instead we handmade them. I still have it!

  59. One year I made a folio album with some of my dad’s early Christmas photos. There were only about 5-6 total, but she cried when she got it.

  61. So many fun Christmas memories it’s difficult to pick one! The first one that popped into my mind was when our daughter was little and in that “stranger danger” phase – she didn’t like the idea of Santa coming into our house so she asked me to help her write a note asking him to please leave the presents on the front porch! He did!

  62. When my daughter was in K, she couldn’t wait for me to get the ornaments for a small Christmas tree that the kids decorated in early December. She used hair barrettes, pony tail holders and Barbie clothes to decorate the tree.

  64. My most special memory is when my husband kept sneaking into my craft room (while I was at work) to make me a handmade clock from an old CD (after seeing me make about 12 as gifts) & I cried Christmas morning when he gave it to me!

  66. A special moment for me is my family getting together and putting up Christmas lights for me the first Christmas season my husband passed away.

  68. The first year my son-in-law came for Christmas he brought a pinata. It was his families tradition. We had so much fun breaking it and picking up candy.

  69. Fun memory is when my daughter was around 1,5 years old – there were loads of presents from both grandmothers; toys, toys and toys. But was interested her most was a couple of hangers that my dad gave her, which she carried around all afternoon/evening to the two grannies disappointment… very funny! 😂

  71. My daughter’s 1st Christmas, it snowed -which it never does down south where we live. Magical doesn’t begin to describe it! And it was my first white Christmas ever also.)

  74. Too many holiday memories to pick just one; any time spent with family during holidays is special! Love all the inspiration, especially the star piñata.

  76. A favorite Christmas memory is one year Santa’s reindeer left notes for all of our children. They thought it was so special.

  77. When my kids were little, we used to call it “cruisin for lights” when we would just drive around looking at yard displays 🙂

  79. I don’t have a specific memory, but many fond memories of Christmas when my boys were young. It’s so special to Christmas through the eyes of a child.

  82. I have many memories of family Christmas parties, thanksgivings, birthdays, gatherings in my grandparents home. So much love there and love in their faces. 😊💜

  84. This one is a little bittersweet, but my siblings and I, and then just I (as the youngest), used to decorate my grandparents Christmas tree every year. They are no longer with us, but I have many of their ornaments and now I hang them on my own tree.

  85. Coming home from Grandma & Grandpa’s house after Thanksgiving weekend and looking for Christmas lights and decorations. It was a three hour trip and we knew each town that had the best decorations.

  86. Love the fox in the wreath. I love taking a picture infront of the countdown calendar each year with the boys to see how they have changed.

  89. Christmas Eve at my grandparents’ house was always a big event. The house was full of people and lots of food. As kids, we would play “Santa”, distributing the gifts. Somebody would point out recipients, helping us learn the names of relatives in the room.

  95. Christmas Eve events have always been more important to my family growing up. We would gather at my grandparents’ house for dinner & opening presents, then drive home, looking in the sky for Santa. We did that when my kids were little too. Keeping traditions alive make the best memories.

  96. One of my favorite holiday memories is when all of my kids and my granddaughter and my mom and mother-in-law got together and made hundreds of Christmas cookies. We were the cookie Christmas crew.. 🍪🍪🍪

  98. As children growing up in the 1960s we didn’t eat out very often, but on Christmas Eve we always got McDonald’s which was a big thing back then because it was a very special treat. We kept up this tradition well into my teenage years and beyond. We often kid, that we should get McDonald’s hamburgers on Christmas Eve to relive the memory.

  100. I have several favorite Christmas memories is having Christmas eve 7 fishes,
    then going to mass to come home to open one present which was a nightgown/pj’s
    new slippers to wear Christmas morning. Another favorite Christmas was the

  119. One of my favorite holiday moments is listening to Christmas music with a fire on a snowy evening and setting up the snow village with my mom.

    My favourite holiday memory was my son’s first Christmas when he was exactly one month old – I got him dressed but couldn’t find the time to get out of my own pjs!

  124. My daughter was born in September a couple of years ago. Visiting Christmas markets for the first time with her was so very special

  125. Several years ago my Mom had to move in with us for a while do to sickness. The first year she was with us waking up on Christmas morning coming into the living room to see that Santa Claus had came even for her. Then later I heard her on the phone with her sister telling her she must have been good that year because Santa had left her nice things.

  126. My parents bundled up my brother and me for a road trip. We lived in the Pocono Mts of PA. We headed for my grandparents’ house in Syracuse, NY. I was maybe 6 and my brother was just 3. My grandparents were SO surprised to see us show up on Christmas Day. We made their whole holiday!
