Design Team Inspiration


Samantha knows we love a punny sentiment and this one from Year Thirteen is so much fun! Samantha also used images from Let’s Roll and Really High Five. All the happy images look great with the brick background stenciled with Distress Oxide Inks in Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon and Cracked Pistachio.


What could be more festive for a birthday than sparkly, hot-foiled fireworks! Catherine built a fun party scene on a Platform Pop-Up with the Platform Pop-Up Cloud Wrap Around. She die-cut the clouds from Rainbow Ever After paper and another from vellum to create a pretty layered look. And she also used Cake Slice Box to make the sprinkle covered birthday cake. Then she added more cuteness with a mouse from Dandy Day and the ladder from Apple-solutely Awesome. The sentiment combines Henry’s Build-A-Sentiment: Spring with a greeting from Elphie Selfie.


Karin‘s beautifully simple design features our new Lovely Lily of the Valley Lawn Cuts sets. She arranged the flowers on a Scalloped Slimline with Hearts: Portrait base, then she added a Henry’s Build-A-Sentiment: Spring greeting on an Everyday Sentiment Banner.


These cute porcupines are celebrating in style in Christy‘s lovely birthday scene! She set a fancy table with goodies from Tea-rrific Day and Tea-rrific Day Add-On for this sweet birthday party!


These farm critters are ready to someone a very happy birthday! Joyce created her cute farm-inspired card with Simply Celebrate More Critters, All the Party Hats, All the Speech Bubbles and Little Farm Fence Border. For the background she used Fruit Salad paper and Apricot cardstock.


Franci‘s Veggie Happy card is perfect for all of your friends and family who love to garden! She arranged her images on a simple watercolor background and added a birthday greeting from Party Animal!



Mimi‘s interactive pull-tab card is the perfect way to say, “happy birthday to roo”! She used both Kanga-rrific and Kanga-rrific Add-On, with All the Party Hats and balloons from Bicycle Built for You. I love how she hid the little joey and balloons inside the Holiday Helpers box. They pop-up with the help of Let’s Toast Pull-Tab Add-On.


The whole Hay There herd is sending happy birthday wishes on Samantha‘s whimsical card! She also used Hay There, Hayrides and Birthday Before ‘n Afters to complete her “on the farm” scene! She used Just Stitching Double Rectangles on her background panel, adding color with Distress Oxide inks in Abandoned Coral, Scattered Straw and Wilted Violet. Then she added “clouds” from Meadow Backdrop: Portrait.

We will have more All Things Birthday Design Team inspiration right here over the next 2 weeks! Be sure to come back tomorrow when we’ll announce our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 167 –Spring Fling!

Design Team Inspiration


Samantha‘s cheerful birthday card features the Really High Five critters with colorful stenciled clouds! I love how she also used the box from Special Delivery Add-On for the little mouse!


Mimi‘s clever card features our Year Thirteen birthday set with cute dim sum and a punny greeting! To create a festive party on her card, Mimi used Balloons Stencil to fill the background with balloons and confetti! She combined the grill from Let’s BBQ with the cat bed from Meow You Doin’ to create the steamer baskets, so brilliant!


A day at the amusement park is perfect to celebrate a birthday! And Joyce‘s beautiful Wheely Great Day design sends a really happy greeting!


Christy‘s adorable card with Elephant Parade is perfect for a first birthday! She combined pretty layers of Stripes ‘n Sprinkles and What’s Sewing On papers before adding the sweet little scene!


Karin created a special birthday card using pretty botanical dies cut with gold metallic cardstock. I love the grid watercolor grid design; it looks so sophisticated.


Perfect for kids of all ages, Samantha‘s “have a wild birthday” card features Toucan Do It! She stenciled tropical leaves on the background, then gave it some party flair with balloons and party hats!


Franci‘s card is so pretty! She used Wheely Great Day and kept the design sweet and simple! How adorable it the smiley face on the ticket?


Catherine created a birthday card that is perfect for a quilt loving friend! I love how she created “quilt blocks” with What’s Sewing On paper, and then added all the adorable Sew Very Mice critters! The floss wrapped spools are a brilliant detail!

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 143 – Show Us Where You Live tomorrow! We can’t wait to see your fabulous birthday creativity!
