A Christmas Fireplace Scene with Renata

Wow! We sold out of all the grab bags so quickly! Erica, Mike and I want to thank you for generously helping us to support METAvivor on Giving Tuesday! We appreciate you all so much!

Renata has warm and cozy Christmas inspiration for you today!

The mice from Simply Celebrate Critters are ready for a merry and bright holiday season! Renata placed these cute critters on the mantle of the Shadow Box Card Fireplace Add-On. She has warmed up the scene with a crackling fire and a lovely Christmas Garland.

Renata created “paneling” above the fireplace using Simply Stripes: Portrait. Then she stamped and white embossed the Merry Messages greeting on an Everyday Sentiment Banner. She made it smaller by repositioning the die before sending it through the machine again. Then she placed the greeting over the fireplace using a hanger from Mini Picture Frames. That is so clever!

I just love this special Christmas scene, Renata! Thank you so much for sharing with us today!

We Wish You a Very Fawny Holiday Week {Day 5}

Hello everyone! We hope you have been enjoying this special Fawny Holiday Week! We’ve been sharing inspiring holiday projects by our amazing Fawny family of designers along with videos and daily giveaways! Be sure to check out any posts you have missed and comment for a chance to win a stamp set with coordinating dies plus a 6×6 paper of your choice!

We have a fun collaboration for our Day 5 video! I worked with Rebecca to create a remake of Grace’s amazing Build-A-Snowman snow globe tag! You can watch the video tutorial below or click HERE to watch at our YouTube channel.

Thank you so much for watching!

Grace‘s snow globe and Build-A-Snowman tag design is perfect to adorn your gift packages or to hang on the tree! The hot foiled snowflakes add an extra layer of sparkle behind the Chunky Glitter in the shaker!

Lynnette created a Christmas card with Simply Celebrate Winter that is so festive! I love that the used all the cute borders in the set, coloring them in bright holiday colors! Then she layered them on panels of Let it Shine Snowflakes papers.

Jenn used the new Say What? Holiday Critters for her trio of Snow Globe shaker tags. I love the fun pink and teal colors she used!

She added frosty fun with Mini Snowflakes and accents in Pixie Dust Sparkle cardstock.

The sentiments in the Say What Holiday Critters set are so perfect for adding to the back of the tags!

Karin created another holiday card for us this week! This one also features Snow Flurries as a beautiful frame. She gold embossed a Magic Holiday Message on the pretty gray Let it Shine Starry Skies paper before adding the Stitched Poinsettia! So gorgeous!

Franci‘s simply adorable card design is full of holiday cheer! She added a Mini Wreath to decorate Outside In Stitched Mug. I love the bright red dots for the berries! Then she brought in more cuteness with a Gingerbread Friend! The dark navy backdrop makes these fun images pop!

Mona used clear plastic ornament halves to make these dimensional shaker tags! They are perfect for hanging on the tree too! She started with Magic Iris Birdhouse Add-On using the center circle the shaker. Then she colored and decorated the birdhouse with Christmas Garland and the bow from Build-A-Barrel Apple!

To decorate the shaker, she combined Fangtastic Friends with How You Bean? Mint Add-On and cookies from the Christmas Cookie Add-On. The sentiment from Joy to All is so sweet!

I love that Mona used the adorable bats from Fangtastic Friends for this festive holiday project!

Melissa’s super cute gift idea!

Melissa experimented with transfer vinyl to create oh so cute t-shirts for her son! These would make adorable gifts too! She used a shimmer vinyl that gives the look of glitter with our Giant Outlined Merry & Bright and Giant Outlined Oh What Fun!

To learn about how to heat set die cuts onto fabric you can search for videos on YouTube. Melissa shares a tip that helped her: remove the vinyl from the transfer sheet before die cutting it as usual. Then put it back on the transfer sheet before weeding and heat-pressing it onto the shirt.

Giveaway time!

Fawny Holiday Week continues today with another holiday video tutorial! Kara shows us how to make creative gift tags with hot foiled sentiments! You can watch the video below or click HERE to watch at our YouTube channel.

Thank you so much for watching!

Kara‘s beautiful tags are so creative! I love how she integrated the hot-foiled Winter Big Scripty Words into the “snow”! The cute mice from Snowball Fight and Mice on Ice add lots of whimsy and fun!

Marine filled this beautiful holiday card with lots of gorgeous Christmas accents! She combined Christmas Garland with Mini String of Lights and a stitched bow from Platform Pop-Up to layer on a hot foiled vellum panel! So clever and beautiful!

Then Marine created an amazing Stitched Mug shaker element! She combined I Scream You Scream with Stitched Cupcake to add the drips of chocolate and dollops of whipped cream, yum! And of course, she included cute Tiny Gingerbread cookies too! I love that she embossed the Magic Holiday Message on the acetate, it’s such a pretty detail!

There is a lot of fun happening on Mindy‘s adorable Scalloped Circle Gift Tags! She hot foiled snowflakes in gleaming silver on the ink-blended circle. Then she added the Say What? Holiday Critters on a snowy Stitched Hillside. Finally, she embossed a greeting on the tiny tag tying it on with Peppermint cord.

Samantha created a fun Santa’s workshop scene with some busy Holiday Helpers! She shopped her stash to find fun embellishments in Just Add Glitter, Purrfectly Wicked, Ho-Ho-Holidays and Over the Mountain Borders! I love the glimpse out the window of the sleigh and reindeer! So adorable!

Yainea got really creative and stamped her own custom wrapping paper! She gave the papers a retro vibe using Frosties for one and the solid tree stamp from Toboggan Together for the other.

She brought the retro look to her adorable Stitched Circle Tags as well! The penguins are also from Toboggan Together. She included a speech bubble with greeting from Say What? Christmas Critters. I love how she added another greeting on the Hearts and Stars Skinny Tag which she layered with an Everyday Sentiment Banner! How fun are those layered tags!

Joy‘s Winter Skies card is so magical! She created a dramatic night sky for Santa’s Christmas Eve flight, framing the scene with a Snow Flurries Backdrop!

Nichol’s Felt Christmas Trees

Nichol‘s hand-stitched felt trees are so cozy and cute! She used Outside In Stitched Christmas Tree to cut her colorful felt. She added Oliver’s Stitched ABCs letters and whimsical buttons before stuffing and using a blanket stitch to close them up!

They are perfect for stringing together to create a colorful holiday garland!

Or arrange them in a simple bowl to add holiday cheer to a table! They are just so sweet, and Nichol is so creative!

Giveaway time!
