Joy Giraffe by Yana Smakula
Hi friends! Thanks for stopping by today! We are so pleased to welcome back the always creative and fantastic Yana Smakula who dug out some fun critters (Stacking Animals) we released earlier this year and dressed them up for Christmas! She used the scarf and antlers from the Christmas Cats set and topped it off with the Falling Snow background and Joy die for a sentiment. Be sure to watch the video and enjoy!

Yana,
I absolutely love this card!! It is so cute! It makes me want to buy all kinds of accessory stamps so I can dress up all my critter stamps. I love the idea of using non-holiday stamps and making them work for any season, you really know how to stretch your supplies!!!

Love this so much Yana! Really fun touch how you left the “O” tilted hanging off the giraffe’s neck! This is such a super idea and I think I can doodle up a scarf and a Santa hat.
I love the way the giraffe sits inside the O for Joy. That’s just adorable! Your little critter accents turns your card into something special!
