Jenn closes out the Design Team inspiration for this year with a Distress Watercolor Pencils design!


Jenn spelled out the new year with Quinn’s ABCs Lawn Cuts and Distress Watercolor cardstock. Then she used Distress Watercolor Pencils to add some awesome color to the letters and the background!


She brought in lots of sparkly fun with Chunky Glitter and Star Border cut from Silver Sparkle glitter cardstock!


Thanks so much for this glittery inspiration, Jenn!

Samantha is ready to toast to the new year with a fun and bubbly card! She created champagne flute shakers using Build-A-Drink!


Samantha started by inking the background lightly with Distress Ink in Seedless Preserves, Picked Raspberry and Dried Marigold. Then she inked again with the Sunray Background Stencil, this time using more pressure. Next, she added Lots of Stars stenciled with Stencil Paste in white, then set it aside to dry.


To create the champagne glassed, Samanth cut Build-A-Drink from white cardstock and cutting the straw as well. She attached the straw to the bottom to give the look of a champagne flute! Then inked the solid background with Distress ink in Mustard Seed and Squeezed Lemonade before creating the shaker and filling it with sequins, white glitter and clear gems to make it look like bubbles!


Then she finished her festive card with greeting from Let’s Bokeh which she white embossed on Black Licorice cardstock. She trimmed part of the sentiment in a banner then fussy cut “cheers”!

Thank you so much for sharing this festive inspiration, Samantha!

Hey friends, it’s Christy here with another card for our Inspiration Board Challenge! For this card I wanted to use one of my favorite stamp sets of the year, Winter Birds! I adore birds and I get a lot of cardinals in my yard, so this set has a special place in my heart. I also brought in the Winter Birds Add-On, to give my cardinals a warm place to go to get out of the snow! I stamped all the images out with Jet Black Ink, colored them with Copic markers, and trimmed them out with the matching dies.


For the background, I started with a piece of Spiffier Speckles 6×6 paper trimmed down with the second largest of the Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables. I blended Distress Oxide Inks around the edges, using Shaded Lilac first, then a little Dusty Concord at the corners. Then I splattered on some white acrylic paint.


While that was drying, I trimmed out a piece of Barn Red Cardstock to be slightly larger than the focal panel, and then also trimmed out some Knit Picky Winter 6×6 paper with the largest of the Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables. I adhered this to a Speckled Eggshell card base and popped the focal panel up with foam tape. I added a sentiment at the bottom, stamped in Lobster Ink, and adhered my images with liquid glue, then finished with a bit of Stardust Stickles.



This card is Day 18 of my 2023 Holiday Card Series, so if you’d like to see how it came together, you can check out the video tutorial on my YouTube channel, Christy Gets Crafty! We hope you’re enjoying our Inspiration Board challenge. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Thank you, Christy for inspiring us today!
