Design Team Inspiration

This puppy pack is having fun across the pond in Catherine‘s brilliant “happy summer” card! She featured Simply Celebrate Critters on a double decker bus made using the gift card die cut from Flippy Flappy and 1″ Stitched Squares. She used Plaid Stencils to create the Union Jack. Be sure to check out Catherine’s blog for more details.

Samantha created a fun “bears at the beach” scene! With bears from Den Sweet Den and Snow Much Fun she added in beachy images from On the Beach and Pool Party!

Karin‘s little critters from Fly High are off on a hot air balloon adventure! Her simply beautiful card also features Fancy Scalloped Rectangle and stenciled clouds.

Franci brought out an older favorite set, Life is Good to create two fun “critters on vacation” cards! Her cute critters from Say What? Pets are having fun at the coast!

Giant Hello Sunshine is the perfect greeting for Joyce‘s fantastic beach scene! She used the bear and beachy accessories from On the Beach for this relaxing critter holiday! I love the pink clouds and coordinating umbrella and beach ball!

Christy‘s Hive Five bees are enjoying a “stay-cation”, staying home at the hive to celebrate a summer birthday! She made this brilliant shaker card with Honeycomb Backdrop and Chunky and Prisma Glitter.

Samantha‘s vacationing unicorns are building a sandcastle at the beach in this happy scene! Sunray Backdrop layered over Watercolor Wishes paper provides the sunshine while Build-A-Castle is the impressive sand sculpture! Samantha added lots of sunny color with images from Unicorn Picnic, A Little Sparkle and On the Beach!

Mimi‘s mice are having a “swell” day hitting the waves! She combined mice from Just Plane Awesome, Sew Very Mice and Really High Five along with surfboards and shells from Beachy Christmas. I love how she replaced the paper airplane and embroidery hoop with surfboards using masking. She used Build-A-House and Stadium Seating to make the beach hut and Stitched Wave Borders for the surf.

We will share more Design Team inspiration for you over the next 2 WEEKS and we’ll announce our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 150 – Photo Inspiration: Botanical on Friday June 23!
