Design Team Inspiration

How fun to think that Santa and Mrs. Claus are getting away for a Beachy Christmas in July! But did you ever think that the Mrs. was a mermaid at heart? Samantha captured the theme perfectly; how cute is that reindeer in the Pool Party float. Other sets she used are Ho-Ho-Holidays and Mermaid for You!

There’s a joyful Snowball Fight happening on Catherine‘s Christmas in July inspiration! She created the snowy scene with Stitched Hillside Borders trimmed in Chunky Glitter and some Birch Trees! The sentiment combines Scripty Joy with a phrase from Offset Sayings: Birthday.

Christmas Fishes and Ready Set Snow are a great holiday combination! Samantha framed her card with Bayou Backdrop in bright holiday green glitter cardstock!

Christy‘s seashell and coral “Christmas tree” is so beautifully unique! She combined How You Bean Seashell Add-On with coral from Mermaid for You. Her color palette and background inking are so special and highlight her clever design!

Mimi‘s light up card is so much fun with the cute anglerfish from You Are Sublime and his Anglerfish Flip-Flop pal! She created a clever snow globe scene using Christmas Fishes and Magic Iris Snow Globe Add-On.

Franci is thinking cozy holiday thoughts with these cute critters from Ugly and Bright! She gave their “ugly sweaters” lots of colorful charm before sending them out into her snowy scene!

These critters are having snowy fun in Karin‘s Window Scene: Winter scene! The sledding critters are from Snow One Like You and she added a greeting from Snowball Fight.

Who doesn’t need lots of gift tags for the holidays? Joyce created a sweet design that is quick to make in multiples. She started with a star-shaped tag from the original Tiny Tags die set, then she layered one of the cute Christmas Fishes on top. She found the fun little speech bubbles and greetings in the Ugly and Bright set!

Time for some “figgy pudding”! Jenn gave the Tea-rrific Day set a holiday spin by adding images from A Creature Was Stirring, Snowball Fight and Sweet Christmas. The scripty sentiment is from Toboggan Together.

Jenn kindly included her Copic marker selections for this cheery and bright color palette!

Look for more Design Team inspiration right here over the next 3 WEEKS and come back tomorrow when we’ll announce our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 152 – Fun with Food!
