We are happy to welcome Catherine Cohen as our Guest Designer for this challenge! She is so talented and consistently wows us with her amazing card projects! You can find her on Instagram HERE!

Let’s see how Catherine was inspired by our Awesome Autumn challenge!

I love that Catherine used our Acorn House as school house for the happy Let’s Go Nuts squirrels! She used Lift the Flap Tree Backdrop in a clever way by cutting the trees apart to frame the house! She filled the sky with fluffy stenciled clouds.

To add all the fun details to this happy scene, Catherine borrowed the clock from Plan on It: Appointments and the bell from Here We Go A-Waddling! Jump for Joy and Den Sweet Den fill the scene with leaves and school books!

Now let’s see what our amazing Design Team created to inspire us!

Franci used our brand new You Autumn Know set to create her sweet and thoughtful card! I love how her beautiful coloring adds softness to traditional Fall colors!

Christy was inspired to create an adorable Halloween card featuring Purrfectly Wicked! She blended the background using Distress Oxide inks. How cute is that little Happy Harvest pumpkin on the shelf with the books and potions?!

Samantha C added glittery goodness to her Acorn House scene using the Autumn Sparkle cardstock pack. She combined images from So Owlsome, Jump for Joy and Let’s Go Nuts to create her whimsical thank you card!

Jessica made a fantastic shaker card using our new Window Frame die set! She used Let’s Go Nuts to create a fun scene outside the window and filled the shaker with leaves from Leafy Tree Backdrop: Portrait. She combined Oliver’s Stitched ABCs with a sentiment from Mermaid for You to add the glittery gold greeting!

Karin‘s gorgeous card sends a message of thankfulness! She used Fall Leaves Background Stencils to add the beautiful pattern to her card. Then she combined Scripty For You, die cut from Gold Metallic cardstock with a gold embossed sentiment from You Autumn Know.

Joyce created the most adorable birthday card featuring Acorn House! She used mushrooms from Oh Gnome! to set the scene for the Let’s Go Nuts squirrels. She ink blended the beautiful background along with the pretty falling leaves found in Acorn House. As a fun finishing touch, she added the sign from Build-A-Campsite to point the way to the nuts!

Samantha M used a beautifully unconventional Fall color palette to create her sweet encouragement card! She layered lots of Stitched Leaves with Big Acorn, finishing with a sentiment from Let’s Go Nuts!

Caly‘s fun card declares Fall is Here! The Let’s Go Nuts squirrels are busy storing up acorns and raking leaves, you know all those fun seasonal activities! She used Lift the Flap Tree Backdrop to anchor the action in this happy scene!

I hope you have been inspired to create some fun Autumn themed projects! We will share Design Team inspiration for you over the next 2 weeks and we’ll announce our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 108 – Photo Inspiration tomorrow! Now it’s time for you to get creative!

First up today, we have a Guest Designer whose projects constantly wow us! Please say hello to Denise Strilchuk! You may know her as Dee Strilly on Instagram! For her challenge inspiration, she thought of a favorite place to be!

Dee pictured herself under a cherry tree, reading a good book with a cold beverage! This totally looks like a perfect “happy place”! She made the cherry tree with Leafy Tree Backdrop: Portrait and tiny flowers from Spring Sprig! She stenciled the pretty clouds with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink.

She combined images from Screen Time, Den Sweet Den, Crazy Antics and Year Two to create the scene. The perfect sentiment for this design is from On the Beach! Reading a book under a tree on beautiful day sounds very relaxing to me!

Now let’s see how our amazing Design Team was inspired by the new theme!

For this beautiful tropical destination scene, Franci used patterned papers to cut out the images from Palm Trees, including the cute little crab! She popped up this mini scene with foam tape then finished the card by stamping the sentiment from Mermaid for You in Kiddie Pool ink.

Karin is dreaming of a trip to Aruba! She depicted this Caribbean paradise with Tropical Backdrop and Flamingo Together! She spelled out the location with Oliver’s Stitched ABCs, then added a border of pineapples from Simply Celebrate Summer!

Caly‘s slimline design is perfect to show that “life is a picnic” in this happy park scene! She used images from Bicycle Built for You, Crazy Antics, Screen Time and Happy Village! The tall tree is found in Let’s Play!

Samantha‘s favorite place is the beach so she created this gorgeous “beach at night” scene! She combined Stitched Wave Borders and Stitched Hillside Borders to make the sand and waves layers. She created a beautiful star-filled sky with the Starry Sky stencil and embossing paste. She filled the scene with images from Upon a Star, Life is Good and All the Clouds (moon). For the sentiment, she combined Upon a Star and Super Star!

Joyce was inspired by the Arctic to create this fun tall slimline card! She added pops of color to this snowy scene using Smooth Sailing (lighthouse and sailboat). The arctic critters are from Sealed with a Kiss, Mermaid for You and Beary Happy Holidays. The Stitched Wave Borders provide a place to tuck some of the critters into the waves!

Camping under the stars is Samantha‘s favorite place! She combined some fun sets to create a happy campsite scene! The Den Sweet Den bears are enjoying the campfire from Love you S’more; one is napping on the Toadally Awesome log. Samantha used a sailboat from Smooth Sailing as a stand-in for a tent, that is so clever! She used the Starry Skies die to scatter glittery stars in the sky!

Christy‘s fabulous beach destination features a brand new set, Scootin’ By! To build the scene, she started with Sunburst Backdrop, then she layered Stitched Simple Wavy Borders for the waves and sand. She added trees from Life is Good and a sentiment from On the Beach stamped on the bright orange sun!

Jessica‘s awesome beach house is a destination I’m sure many of us are dreaming of visiting! She used the Scalloped Treat Box Beach House Add-On that comes complete with seagull! She built the scene with Stitched Wave Borders and Simple Stitched Hillside Borders. The tall grass in the background is our Cattail Borders with the tops trimmed! The birthday sentiment is found the Seahorsin’ Around mini set!

We will share Design Team inspiration for you over the next 3 weeks and we’ll announce our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 100 – Cards for Kids tomorrow!
