Christmas with Winter Alpaca for Lawnscaping Challenges

Happy Holidays Card by Jess Gerstner using Lawn Fawn Winter Alpaca
Hello crafty friends! Today I’m sharing a card for the latest Lawnscaping challenge. Today’s challenge is Christmas! We want to see your last minute Christmas projects or get a head start on next year and be sure to include some Lawn Fawn goodies. So for today’s card I created a custom background with a stencil and then layered some embossed panels. I used the adorable alpaca from Winter Alpaca since I had an extra already cut from another project. The sentiment is from Lawn Fawn Toboggan Together.

Season’s Greetings

I always like to make a few Christmas cards throughout the year so I will have them ready when the time comes so I combined the Paper Smooches Anything Goes challenge with some Christmas challenges. I used the Paper Smooches Chilly Chums set for the walrus. The patterned paper is from Carta Bella.
