Design Team Inspiration



Mimi created macrame inspired wall decor with rainbow colored Hemp Twine! She used Lawn Cuts sets Giant Hello Sunshine, Shadow Box Rainbow Add-On and Stitched Thought Bubble Frames. To make the rainbow, she cut the rainbow 3 times from 110lb white cardstock. She glued each size together before wrapping each bow with Dusty Rose, Yellow, Lime, Sky Blue and Lavender hemp twine. Then she glued the pieces together.


And for the clouds, Mimi used the Stitched Thought Bubble Frames. She cut them from flocked cardstock along with the Giant Hello Sunshine layering more 110lb white cardstock for stability. Finally, she added more hemp twine to fill the letters!


Samantha‘s lilac gift boxes are ready to fill with sweet treats! She used Goodie Bag and Candy Box with a fun bee theme! For the bag, she used Stripes ‘n Sprinkles paper. Then she used the letters from Giant Be My Valentine to spell out “bee mine” and she added a cute Hive Five bee!

The Candy Box is decorated with Honeycomb Backdrop and cute images from Den Sweet Den, Hive Five and You’re a Keeper!


Mayra‘s garden themed set of bookmarks are so lovely! She used Stitched Bookmark with Gleeful Gardens, Fairy Friends, Oh Gnome and Garden Before ‘n Afters. She added delicate trim with Lacy Rectangle Stackables and the Fruit Salad paper adds more lovely detail.

She also made mini magnet bookmarks decorated with Mushroom Border! So adorable!


Karin had a super fun idea to make a memory/matching game using all the cuteness from I Heart Pandas and I Heart Pandas Add-On!


She had lots of fun stamping lots of little details to make each pair of cards different. Then she covered the card backs with Stripes ‘n Sprinkles 6×6 paper.


Franci used the adorable Little Letter envelopes to create unique framed wall decor!


I love the colorful little hearts! She found them in the Giant Outlined Love Ya Lawn Cuts set.


Joyce‘s Scalloped Treat Box is ready for Spring gifting decorated with Zesty Lemon! She made the box with Lilac Cardstock, stamping sentiments from You’re the Zest with Sugarplum ink.


She also added more lemony goodness to the back of the box with a lemon slice and pretty flowers. She used cardstock in Sunflower, Algae, Vanilla Malt, white and Sugarplum.


Samantha got creative and made a fun scrapbook page featuring fun Halloween costumes from the Island of Misfit Toys. She created her page title with Henry’s ABCs and Harold’s ABCs.


For Halloween detail, Samantha added tiny pumpkins from Costume Party. And then she stenciled the Snowflake Trio to coordinate with the wintery theme of the costumes from Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.


Christy used lovely What’s Sewing On? papers to cover a set of mini notebooks. They look so pretty with a coordinating bow to tie them closed. And for decoration, she stamped pretty flowers from Garden Before ‘n Afters on a Little Letter love note. Absolutely adorable!

We will have more Design Team inspiration for the Anything but a Card challenge over the next 2 weeks! Be sure to come back tomorrow when we’ll announce our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 189 – Lots of Heart!

We are so excited to welcome Grace Camou as our Guest Designer for this challenge! She is a very talented cardmaker and has been wowing us with her amazing creativity! You can find her on Instagram as @allbygrace! Be sure to check out her Instagram, you will be so inspired! Now let’s share her amazing card for this challenge!

What looks like just a regular card is actually a Storybook Shadow Box card to which Grace added a decorated cover flap! How cute is that gingerbread and candy vignette?!

Grace used the banner die that comes in the Double Slider Surprise die set to add the sweet sentiment to the “book cover” flap on the front of the box! This design is just so fun and unique!

When the card folds flat for mailing, the Sweet Christmas sentiment on the side of the box will be visible as the card is removed from the envelope! Too clever!

Grace used our Sweet Christmas stamp set to build an adorable layered scene on the inside! She created a lovely pink and teal color palette using papers from a few different collections! She also added the Sweetest Flavor ice cream cone to the inside panels in pretty pastel shades!

Now let’s see what our awesome Design Team created to inspire your creativity!

Samantha‘s fabulous Christmas scene was created on an Outside In Stitched Cloud shape! She used Winter Village and Winter Skies for the scene!

Jessica used a Stitched Circle for her adorable shaped card! She combined the mug and fun sentiment from Thanks a Latte with glittery snowflakes!

Franci created a sweet snowscape inside a Shadow Box Card using the cute penguins from Snow Cool! The pretty pastel colors are perfect in this frosty scene!

Karin‘s beautiful little Winter Skies scene looks so adorable in the heart-shaped card! She used an Outside In Stitched Heart with a Lacy Heart to create the card base.

Samantha C got really creative and made her card base using the Candy Box die! She used Holiday Sparkle cardstock to add the glittery silver to the sides and the sweet Holiday Helpers fit perfectly on this unique card design!

Joyce used our new Outside In Stitched Christmas Tree for her festive and fun shaped card! She added a Bannertastic banner with a greeting from Thanks a Latte! The fun accessories under the tree are from the Woodland Critter Huggers Winter Add-On set!

Christy used the Shadow Box Card dies to make the box base and add the snowy trees! The Shadow Box Ocean Add-On was used to create the sweet scalloped window! She filled the scene with critters from Joy to the Woods and finished with a sentiment from Ready Set Snow for her fantastic holiday card!
