Mimi is with us today to inspire you with an amazing Build-A-Fox holiday card! You will love how she created a fun sled by piecing together parts from three sets.

Mimi cut the Build-A-Fox components from white paper before inking them with Distress Oxide inks. I love the sweet rosy cheeks! She also used Build-A-Critter Christmas Accessories for their hats with holly and berries from Build-A-Snowman.

In the background, Mimi combined Desert Canyon Backdrop with trees from Village Hillside Border. Then she layered it on a panel of All the Sparkles white petite paper that she inked with Distress Oxide ink in Speckled Egg. And then she stamped a Winter Wavy Sayings sentiment on a Simple Wavy Banner to add to the background.

And now for the cleverness! Mimi filled a cute sled with gifts from Build-A-Critter Christmas Accessories. She cut the gift packages from more All the Sparkles petite papers.

Then she created the sled with Coffee Table patterned paper. She cut the perch from Build-A-Birdhouse, the bench from Build-A-Greenhouse and the handle from Stitched Umbrella. Next, she layered the perch onto the bench so just the legs are visible, trimming any excess. Then she adhered the runner or umbrella handle to front, trimming that too. Such a clever idea!

Thank you for inspiring us with another beautifully creative card, Mimi!

More Christmas in the Desert inspiration with our Design Team!

Elena stenciled lots of sandy hills on her card before arranging all the adorable critters from Christmas in the Desert! She decked the cactus with extra ornaments then placed the cute piles of sand. And it’s all bordered with festive Candy Cane Lane red and gold striped paper and a Stitched Rectangle Frame!

Audrey used the negative portion of the Desert Canyon Backdrop and Cactus Hillside Border to set the scene for her beautifully bedecked Christmas in the Desert cactus! It’s “sand-sational”!

Megan created an amazing backdrop with purple and teal, then she carried that color palette throughout her darling holiday card!

Tammy‘s snow globe design is so much fun! She filled the snow globe with the festive desert critters then added extra cacti from Critters in the Desert! Candy Cane Lane papers are perfect for adding even more holiday cheer.

Nothing says fun and whimsical Christmas like a lineup of rainbow-colored cacti! I love how Latisha even colored the critters and potted cacti to match! It all looks so great on a Candy Cane Lane petite paper tied up with White Hemp Twine!

Jenn‘s pink-hued desert scene is absolutely gorgeous! I love the glittery Cactus Border!

Mindy‘s collage style card is so clever! She used Peekaboo Backdrop, filling the windows with adorable Christmas in the Desert scenes!

Nichol‘s nighttime sky adds a dramatic backdrop to her “sand-sational” desert scene! In addition to Christmas in the Desert her card features Desert Canyon Backdrop and Cactus Hillside Border!

I love how Elise layered the colorful Candy Cane Lane papers on this cheery design! She used lots of bright, happy color to create a special Christmas card!

Melissa‘s fabulous card is filled with all the adorable Christmas in the Desert critters along with some friends from Critters in the Desert! I love her layered the Desert Canyon Backdrop and the fantastic watercolor sky! She borrowed signs from Kanga-rrific to add the fun holiday messages!

And you always need lots of gift tags, so why not make a bunch while you have this fun Christmas in the Desert set out! Melissa’s tag is so clever!

Marine‘s tall slimline design gives her plenty of room to create one of her amazing, detailed scenes! She stenciled the sandy scene with Hillside Stencils and included extra cactus from Critters in the Desert! A white embossed sentiment finishes this special holiday design!

We can’t wait to see what you guys create with this exclusive new set! Make sure to check out Christmas in the Desert at Simon Says Stamp while supplies last!

Lawn Fawn Video {8.6.24} Mindy’s Nighttime Desert Scene

Mindy created an amazing nighttime desert scene! She featured Nighttime Sky Stencil, Desert Canyon Backdrop and the cute Wolf Before ‘n Afters critters. You can watch her video tutorial below or click HERE to watch at our YouTube channel.

Thank you so much for watching!

Mindy ink-blended this gorgeous starry sky with Nighttime Sky Stencil to create a glowing moon in the dark sky. Then she added golden stars with Starry Sky Stencil and glittery gold stencil paste. As the background dried, she inked the Desert Canyon Backdrop and a Stitched Hillside Border to complete the scene.

Next, she colored a bunch of images from Critters in the Desert, S’more the Merrier and Wolf Before ‘n Afters to fill the desert canyon scene. Finally, she die-cut Cole’s ABCs letters to create a punny friendship message with a sentiment from Wolf Before ‘n Afters.

Thanks so much for sharing with us today, Mindy! I love the cute wolves in the desert scene!
