We hope you enjoy today’s inspiration! We are looking forward to seeing your Summertime Fun creativity! The Challenge 127 – Summertime Fun is a 2-week challenge and will be open until Sunday, July 3 at 11:59PM ET.

Today we are shining the spotlight on a couple of cards in the Summertime Fun challenge gallery! They are each by recent Featured Fawnatics and we know they will inspire your creativity!

This fun card is Bianca‘s version of an amusement park near her home! She combined lots of sets to create a whimsical Summertime Fun scene!
She used: Coaster Critters, Happy Hugs, Life is Good, Ahoy Matey, Spooky Village, Happy Village, Let’s Play, Meow You Doin?

Kathrin put her amazing coloring skills to work creating this design! I’m sure, like me, some your best summer memories involve a campfire on the beach!
She used: Super Star, Crazy Antics, Bubbles of Joy, You Autumn Know, S’more the Merrier, Tropical Backdrop, Palm Tree Border

Big thanks to both Bianca and Kathrin for sharing their fantastic card projects with us. We are so happy that you played along with the Summertime Fun challenge!

Let’s see what our wonderful Design Team was inspired to create!

Jessica was inspired to create an alcohol inked background with the look of cool water! Those pops of red from Happy Hibiscus are so stunning!

Samantha‘s sweet scene uses the inspiration photo as a starry sky! She combined the Den Sweet Den bears with stars and a telescope from Super Star then she grounded the scene with a large cloud from Unicorn Picnic!

Christy‘s Toadally Awesome birthday card is a total delight! She incorporated the colors of the inspiration photo in the Simple Stripes: Landscape background!

Gorgeous alcohol inking creates the perfect backdrop for Caly‘s Christmas Fishes design!

Joyce brightened up the inspiration colors for her whimsical underwater scene! She used Slimline Tropical Leaves Border to create a fun environment for the mermaid, Duh-nuh shark and Ahoy Matey treasure chest!

Karin was inspired to create an amazing birthday card! She layered a gold metallic Giant Happy Birthday greeting over an alcohol inked background; the gold flecks bring it together! She finished the card with some happy toucans!

Samantha inked up a charming underwater scene for the little critters from I Like You (a lotl)! She added cool details to the water using Bubbles Stencil!

Jenn‘s colorful mermaids are waving hello on a gorgeous alcohol-inked backdrop!

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 107 – 3D Cards tomorrow! Now it’s time for you to get creative!

Joyce shares an awesome Ahoy Matey treasure map card to inspire you today!

Joyce scattered the Ahoy Matey images across a Slide on Over Maze background to look like a treasure map! This would make such a fun invitation to a pirate themed party or just as a way to tell your favorite kid that they arrrrgh awesome!

Joyce kept the colors bright and bold for this totally kid-friendly design!

Thanks so much for inspiring us today, Joyce! I love to see the cute pirates of Ahoy Matey come out to play!
