Karin shares her wonderful talent for watercolor with a lovely Build-A-Birdhouse card!


Karin cut the Build-A-Birdhouse and Merry Mistletoe pieces from watercolor paper before adding color with watercolor paint. Then she painted a beautiful wash of color for the wintry backdrop on more watercolor paper. And then she stamped the sentiment from Window Scene: Winter on a banner from Window Scene: Spring Lawn Cuts.


Then Karin used white ink to add the snowy splatters in the background as a perfect finishing touch before assembling the birdhouse and mistletoe. This panel was then attached to a Fancy Scalloped Rectangle.

Your card design is so lovely, Karin! Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us!

We Wish You a Very Fawny Holiday Week 2023 {Day 5}


Hello friends! Welcome to another special Fawny Holiday Week! We will be sharing inspiring holiday projects by our amazing Fawny family of designers along with videos and daily giveaways! Comment below for a chance to win a stamp set with coordinating dies and a 6×6 paper pad of your choice!

Christy‘s charming Build-A-Snow Globe design is festive fawny inspiration to end this special week! You can watch the video tutorial below or click HERE to watch at our YouTube channel.

Thank you so much for watching!


Christy‘s sweet snow globe scene stars the adorable mice of Christmas Before ‘n Afters! She also added pops of beautiful color with the tiny poinsettias of Magic Iris Holly Wreath Add-On.


And the custom sentiment is so much fun too! Christy combined Finley’s ABCs with a sentiment from Cheery Christmas to send a jolly greeting!


Audrey‘s beautiful card design captures a peaceful, snowy night with Little Snow Globe: Bear! She included bears from Den Sweet Den and a cute snowman from Ready Set Snow! The black sky above the Over the Mountain Borders scenery is so striking with all the bright stars!


Any surprise that these gorgeous ocean-themed gift tags are created by Jenn? She used our Say What? Gift Tags as the base to add shells from How You Bean Seashell Add-On. She also added a pretty sprig of Holly Leaves to each tag.


Tiny Tag Sayings provides the sweet sentiment and also to and love!


Jenn colored the seashells and holly with Distress Watercolor Pencils. Then she added glitter and gold metallic paint to finish the tags.


Jessica created a clever window card with a punny surprise inside! She covered the card front with tone-on-tone Holly Leaves Borders before cutting a circle window. Then she framed the Christmas Before ‘n Afters mice with Magic Iris Holly Wreath Add-On, attaching them to the inside of the card. She finished the card front with Scripty Merry, to complete the greeting inside.


When the card is opened the punny sentiment is completed with Henry’s ABCs and Merry Mistletoe! She added another sentiment with Henry Jr.’s ABCs.


Such a delightful Mini Slimline card filled with warm and cozy Christmas treats! Mona combined Thanks a Latte with a sentiment from Love You a Latte to create this happy collage-style card. I love how she colored the mugs like clear glass and the cute smiley faces are so charming!


Tammy‘s Santa-inspired Outside In Stitched Mug tags are so cute and creative! She also used Stitched Mug Frame, and Tiny Gift Box Deer Add-On and Skunk Add-On (Santa’s beard, so clever!)


To create the adorable Santa face, Tammy started with an Outside In Stitched Circle in Apricot cardstock. Then she added the Skunk Add-On beard, and the “mustache” which she found in Plant-a-Succulent. Santa’s nose is from Tiny Gift Box Cat Add-On. She topped it off with a hat from Woodland Critters Huggers Winter Add-On.


In addition to the cute reindeer, Tammy added whipped cream from Stitched Cupcake and marshmallows from Stitched Mug Frame. The little tag combines a Scalloped Circle with Just Stitching Double Circle. These adorable tags would be so cute hanging on the Christmas tree!

Lovely Christmas Inspiration with Karin


Something special is coming soon! You won’t want to miss it! Be sure to visit the blog tomorrow, November 2nd.

Karin joins us again today to share two lovely Christmas designs! They feature Merry Mistletoe and Holly Leaves Border!


Karin used watercolor paper to cut Merry Mistletoe, then she added watercolor to the delicate stems, berries and bow. She gold embossed the holiday greeting on a Stitched Rectangle before layering the mistletoe on a Fancy Scalloped Rectangle and popping it up on a stitched panel. This design is so elegant!



For her second card, Karin used the same design, changing the card to landscape. The Fancy Scalloped Rectangle is now a border for the water-colored Holly Leaves. And she gold embossed another sentiment from Christmas Before ‘n Afters.

Thank you so much for this gorgeous Christmas inspiration, Karin!
