Design Team Inspiration


Samantha starts off the inspiration with a Just Plane Awesome design! She also included some of the paper airplanes from Just Plane Awesome Sentiment Trails. These cute mice are not only making the paper airplanes, but they are also flying in them! Samantha stenciled the background using Cloudy Stencil and Grassy Stencil!


The sky’s the limit with Christy’s Fly High card! She combined the hot air balloons with birds from Heart Tree and It’s a Bird. The vignette in red, white and blue looks so fun on a Stitched Rounded Rectangle with clouds from Spring Showers. Christy paired the Fly High sentiment with Finley’s ABCs.


Samantha created a beautiful space background with Distress Oxide Ink in Seedless Preserves and Wilted Violet. It’s the perfect backdrop for the whimsically colored Out of this World images!


Karin‘s cheery mini slimline design features the Outside In Stitched Balloon Stackables!


Joyce stenciled with the Stratus Cloud Background Stencils as a purple backdrop for the Just Plane Awesome mice! In addition, she also used Just Plane Awesome Sentiment Trails and the little mouse from All My Heart!


Mimi‘s high-flying design combines Plane and Simple with More Magic Messages and Sunburst Backdrop! The cute little pilots are from Wheely Great Day with “goggles” made from the glasses in Little Woodland Library!


Mayra also featured Sunburst Backdrop as a sunny sky for her cute card! She paired the graduation sentiment from Magic Spring Messages with Fly High! The little bear with her tiny graduation cap and diploma is so adorable! Mayra also used Simple Puffy Cloud Frames and a Scalloped Rectangle!


Franci stamped the clouds from Plane and Simple in the background of her simple design! The cute Just Plane Awesome cuties fly up, up and away in their paper airplanes!

We will have more Design Team inspiration for the Up, Up and Away challenge over the next 3 weeks! Be sure to come back tomorrow when we’ll announce our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 197 – Dies Only!

Design Team Inspiration


The sentiment from Treat Cart Add-On: Smoothies ‘n Juice sets the theme for Joyce‘s fun get well card! Her design features Build-A-Drink Blender Add-On, Build-A-Drink and Build-A-Drink Cocktail Add-On!


Mayra created a colorful birthday card relying on dies only! She combined Terrific Tulips and Giant Happy Birthday. She also used Secret Garden Window and Large Stitched Rounded Rectangle with Watercolor Wishes Rainbow and Pint-sized Patterns Summertime papers.


Mimi created a pretty scene with Build-A-Bird Feeder and Tree Branches Backdrop: Portrait! She used Simple Stripes Portrait and Coffee Table patterned paper to “build” a backyard fence. Then she stenciled some Stratus Clouds in the sky. I love how she customized her greeting using Scripty Sweet to spell out “tweet”.


Christy‘s lovely design features Flower Bouquet Wrap with Terrific Tulips and Lovely Lily of the Valley! She added a sweet Magic Heart Messages greeting!


Samantha‘s lemony design is so cheerful! She used Zesty Lemon, Spring Flowers Backdrop, Scalloped Fringe Border and Finley’s ABCs. The bright Fruit Salad papers add to the farm-fresh look as the background.


Karin‘s lovely birthday card starts with Giant Outlined Happy Birthday: Landscape! She layered it with a Lacy Rectangle and Stripes ‘n Sprinkles petite paper. The pretty little flowers from Spring Sprig are the perfect die-cut detail!


Franci‘s cute Goodie Bags feature the Lawn Cuts set Ladybug and Leaf!


Samantha used I Scream, You Scream to create a cute and comical card! Her punny greeting is spelled out in Henry’s ABCs. She inked the background with Lots of Stars Background Stencils.

We will have more Design Team inspiration for the Dies Only challenge over the next 2 weeks! Be sure to come back tomorrow when we’ll announce our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 196 – Inspired By!

Design Team Inspiration


Mayra was inspired by Grace!


Mayra used inspiration from Grace’s “kissing booth” card from Lots of Heart Week to make a Pull ‘n Slide Surprise congratulations card! She featured the cute Tiny Gift Box Panda and Bear Add-On with glasses from Woodland Critter Huggers Graduation Add-On. The greeting is Giant Hooray and a sentiment from Little Woodland Library Friends!


Mayra also included Book Collection, the awning from Ta-Da! Diorama! Shop Add-On and the banner from Ta-Da! Diorama! Scalloped Window Add-On.


Franci found her inspiration in this Daisy Bloom Background Stencils card by Kelly!


Franci inked her Daisy Bloom stencils with Distress inks Cracked Pistachio, Squeezed Lemonade, Spiced Marmalade and Walnut Stain. Her simple birthday greeting pairs Happy Happy Happy with a speech bubble from A Birdie Told Me.


Samantha did some stitching with inspiration from Chari!


Samantha‘s card features a warm color palette with an inked Stratus Cloud Background Stencils. She stitched the Rainbow Add-On and framed it with the original Embroidery Hoop! Then she white embossed a sentiment from Rain or Shine Before ‘n Afters on a Stitched Sentiment Banner.


Joyce was inspired by a slimline Backyard Bird Feeder card by Tammy!


Like Tammy’s inspiration, Joyce also used Backyard Bird Feeder Add-On to feature both styles of bird feeders. She created her background with Stratus Cloud Background Stencils.


Samantha was inspired by an adorable birthday card by Christy!


Samantha used lots of bright, happy color for the cute Hay There critters! And the Bitsy Blooms paper in the background and colorful Oliver’s Stitched ABCs greeting add to the whimsical card design.


Mindy‘s Sunny Sunflower card gave Karin a creative spark to make her own version.


Karin used Fruit Salad petite paper for the Money Pocket; the blue color looks so pretty with the sunflowers! For her greeting she layered Scripty Love on a vellum Scripty Love Outline Add-On. And she added detail with a Lacy Rectangle.


Mimi recreated Tammy‘s clever clipboard teacher card!


Mimi layered Really Rainbow petite paper on a panel of Paper Bag cardstock for the base of the clipboard. Then she cut the flap of the Fancy Box from silver metallic cardstock for the clip. Next, she white embossed lots of cute sentiments on colorful banners and finished the card with images from Little Woodland Library and Little Woodland Library Friends.


Christy was inspired by Megan‘s Release Week card introducing Little Woodland Library Friends!


Christy set up a cute reading nook with Little Woodland Library, Little Woodland Library Friends and Simply Celebrate Hangouts. She included lots of little details from Apple-solutely Awesome, Den Sweet Den, Perfectly Wicked and Virtual Friends Add-On.


It’s so much fun how the whole library scene pops up on the Pull ‘n Slide Surprise, revealing another little scene underneath.

We will have more Design Team inspiration for the Inspired By challenge over the next 2 weeks! Be sure to come back tomorrow when we’ll announce our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 195 – BINGO!
