Design Team Inspiration

Samantha captured the colorful fireworks in her design! I love how the dandelion becomes a sparkler, too! Her coloring adds a lovely “glow” to the critters!

These Wood You Be Mine? beavers are following the tradition of taking down the Christmas tree on New Year’s Day. Joyce used the sentiment from Merry Messages to send holiday wishes! The little speech bubble and “let’s party” along with the hats are from Ugly and Bright!

Mimi gave the Ugly and Bright crew some festive sweaters for celebrating the New Year! The sweater decorations come from Plan on It sets and the hats are found in Year Nine. She was inspired by the glittery Happy New Year photo! She cut Giant Outlined Oh What Fun from gold glitter cardstock, using just the frame and sparkles. Then she added her greeting in Henry’s ABCs!

Franci created her own colorful fireworks for the background of her brilliant card. Then she added Finley’s 123s and Winter Skies bears to complete her frosty new year scene!

Karin created the ombré background with Distress Ink in Mahogany and Victorian Velvet. She made a mask with Stitched Hillside Borders and post it notes but you could also use our Hillside Stencils. Then she layered on the Happy Hugs critters and a greeting from Magic Holiday Messages embossed in gold!

Samantha created an amazing background with Lots of Stars Background Stencils and White Stencil Paste. She added some extra sparkle to the stars with Stickles. Then she used Scripty Joy and Merry Messages to add her sentiment!

Christy‘s whimsical scene features the Wood You Be Mine? and So Dam Much beavers wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! It looks like those enterprising beavers chopped down the Christmas tree a little too soon. So cute!

Catherine‘s Happy New Year card is so amazing! She used Stitched Fireworks, adding lots of color to the sky. Then she created a silhouette skyline using Village Border. Finally, she gave the Simply Celebrate Critters mice some festive party hats so they are ready to ring in the New Year!

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 138 – Card Sketch tomorrow! Now it’s time to get creative and celebrate the New Year!
