@Cory_Barger’s “Pairs Well With Awkward Family Dinners” wine bag turns holiday humor into a charming keepsake. The clean canvas, crisp typography, and playful Thanksgiving icons (turkey leg, pie, autumn leaves) feel cohesive and warm—perfect for dressing up a host gift or sparking a smile at the table. The cheeky phrase lands instantly and fits the Thanksgiving theme to a T—lighthearted, relatable, and totally gift-ready. Thanks for sharing this witty and well-made piece! :jack_o_lantern:

Excellence Awards – Material Bundle ($9.99) × 2

Crafted’s tote captures the joy of bookish days and café reads. The soft blush and cream tones pop against the black canvas, creating instant cozy vibes. Clean, crisp transfers with the iCraft and Auto Heat Press V2 show great technique, with sharp edges, even pressure, and smart placement that lets the design breathe. It’s stylish, practical, and perfectly fits the “reader era.” :books:

:medal_sports: Excellence Awards Winner 2: Congratulations @BellethehowtoGuru

Link: DIY Project Sharing | Family Love Canvas
Ideastudio Link: See What I've Been Creating...

Belle’s Family Love Canvas is a heartfelt tribute to love and belonging. The triptych layout turns F-A | M-I | L-Y into a statement wall, while sunflowers, hearts, and the family silhouette add warmth and meaning. The mixed typography reads clearly and draws the eye, and the black-yellow-green palette feels bright and uplifting. Designed in LOKLiK IdeaStudio and cleanly applied with HTV and the HTVRONT Mini 3, this piece beautifully pairs message with craftsmanship. Beautiful work, Belle.

For prize arrangements, please reach out to @Jodie directly to claim your prizes.

I’m overjoyed that my project was selected :trophy::yellow_heart:

Each panel was crafted with intention—from the bold black letters to the sunflowers that symbolize warmth and growth, and the silhouette that captures togetherness in its purest form. It’s a celebration of the messy, magical, and meaningful moments that define our lives.

Thank you to everyone who’s supported my creative journey. Your encouragement helps me turn everyday emotions into visual stories that speak louder than words.

Big congratulations to @Cory_Barger and @Crafted for your gorgeous creations.
Here’s to more love, more laughter, more crazy, and more loud, creations :sunflower:

Congrats to the winners! :partying_face:

This has been a faboulous event, I enoyed it really much. I love crafting with words. I just realized that’s something if always done in my drawings too. I didn’t see the coincidence until now :thinking: writting is a strong graphic symbol and this activity proved so.
