Hey friends, it’s Christy here with another card for our Inspired By a Book, Movie, or Song Challenge! For this one, I was inspired by a sweet children’s picture book that I recently came across, called The Littlest Lighthouse Keeper by Heidi Howarth. I loved the illustrations in this story, so I decided to create my own version with this card.


I pulled together images from It’s a Bird, Life is Good, Smooth Sailing, Butterfly Kisses, Mermaid for You, and You Are Sublime. I stamped all of my images in Jet Black Ink, colored them with Copic markers and trimmed them out with the matching dies.

For my focal panel, I trimmed down a bunch of pieces of Bristol with the Stitched Wave Borders and Stitched Hillside Borders. I also used a full card-sized sheet for the background. I blended on Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide with the Cloudy Stencil to create the sky. Then I used a mix of Salvaged Patina, Salty Ocean, and Uncharted Mariner on my three waves. For the sand, I used Antique Linen and Gathered Twigs.


I stamped a sentiment from Life is Good on the bottom of the shortest wave and an image and sentiment on the inside of the card in Fish Tank Ink. Then I glued the sky and the tallest two waves to the card front with liquid glue. I popped the sand up with foam tape and glued the shortest wave over top of that. Then I added my images with a mix of foam tape and liquid glue.


If you’d like to see the whole process of creating this card, you can check out the video tutorial on my YouTube channel, Christy Gets Crafty. I really hope you enjoy it! We can’t wait to see what you come up with for our Inspired By a Book, Movie, or Song Challenge. Have an amazing day!

Thank you so much for sharing this super cute inspiration, Christy!

Hi friends, Samantha here! I couldn’t resist this time making a Harry Potter themed card!
So cute, right! Hedwig is the star and she’s bringing a Hogwarts acceptance letter with this birthday card! ha! I love it!


I stamped the images from Special Delivery, Critters in the Forest and Booyah. I colored in the owl and her accessories with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers, but then I water-colored the trees! I think the water-coloring added a fun texture to the trees!


I used some Black Licorice Cardstock for the background. Then used some white stencil paste and the Lots of Stars Background Stencils to make the night sky. I love that bold look and how the trees POP against the black sky.


Then, I heat embossed the custom Hagrid inspired sentiment with Harold’s ABCs in white onto vellum, cutting it out with the Stitched Sentiment Banners.

Thank you so much for inspiring us today, Samantha!

Hello Fawnatics friends! Today, Mimi joins us to share a “Wicked” inspired card! She pieced the characters together with some clever combinations of Lawn Cuts dies!


Mimi created Elphaba and Glinda from Mermazing Mermaid! She cut the pieces from white cardstock to color with Copic markers. Then she used a combination of Lawn Cuts sets to create their dresses and accessories. She provided helpful diagrams and a supply list below.


For the greeting, Mimi paired Henry Jr.’s ABCs with words from Apple-solutely Awesome. And she made the “Emerald City” using Village Border. She made the “yellow brick road” with Brick Stencil and On the Road!



This is so clever, such an amazing card, Mimi! Thank for the inspiration!
