Last Day for the Diva Critter Challenge

Hi everyone - I have some last minute inspiration for the March Die Cut Diva Challenge to use Critters. You can see the team reminder post HERE. Entries due by 9pm Pacific time today!


Supplies: Paper - Neenah Classic Crest Solar White;
Sunny Studio Stamps Joyful Holiday & All is Bright 
Stamps w/dies - Sunny Studio Stamps Christmas Critters
(coordinating dies HERE)
Dies - Sunny Studio Stamps Wonky Windows 
Other - Copic Markers; foam tape;
Taylored Expressions sentiment strip

Sunny Studio Stamps sponsored us this month. We thank them for the $30 gift card to their online shop which we'll award on April 3rd by random draw.


For my inspiration card I used the same critter set as I did for my March 21st bonus card (go HERE if you missed it). This time I stamped, die cut and colored three stockings for the critters to peek from. I formed a mini slimline card and added a snowflake paper. Next I die cut the wonky windows from a dotted paper & added it to the card with foam tape. Shaded the dotted paper edges and around the windows with a BG01 Copic. Added a stocking to each window with foam tape. A printed sentiment strip completed my card.

For my bonus, I revisited the penguins from my March 21st post. This time I used two of them along with a snowflake frame set. I used the sentiment die from that set in a previous post.


Supplies: Paper - Neenah Classic Crest Solar White;
My Favorite Things Colorful Christmas Text
Stamps w/dies - Sunny Studio Stamps Roly Poly Penguins
Dies - Sunny Studio Stamps Layered Snowflake Frame
(sold out at Sunny but still HERE at Frantic Stamper);
trio of snowflakes from stash
Other - Copic Markers; foam tape;
Spellbinders Joyful Christmas word sticker

When I made my other penguin card, I stamped extra penguins so this card came together quickly! I die cut the frame in Arizona when I bought the set to keep at my sister's house. Thought it worked well with the penguins! Some snowflakes from the stash - brands unknown - and a puffy sticker sentiment completed the card.

I'll share my card at Merry Little Christmas #61 where Anything Christmas Goes.

Thanks for visiting and we hope to see you in the March Diva gallery!
