Let’s see what our amazing Design Team created to inspire us!


Hearts are a perfect theme for celebrating the birthday of a special someone! Jessica brilliantly combined Scent with Love, Lots of Hearts Background Stencils and Giant Happy Birthday to You to create an amazing birthday card!

Franci chose Scootin’ By to create an adorable card to celebrate a birthday or any happy day! She used our new Mini Slimline Stackables dies to make her card “fun-sized”!

Caly also used the Mini Slimline Stackables dies, this time to make the perfect backdrop for the Really High Five critters! She added some stenciled clouds and a fun birthday sentiment!

Swan Soirée and Bayou Backdrop are the perfect choice to welcome a new baby! Samantha made this card special with pretty glitter cardstock!

Joyce combined Giant Happy Birthday to You with Critter Concert to send a birthday greeting! The triple layered sentiment is a standout! She cleverly used Watercolor Wishes Rainbow paper to easily create a beautiful blue sky!

Karin‘s beautiful card features Unicorn Picnic! She combined it with Scripty Congrats to create a card that is perfect for lots of happy occasions!

Christy‘s birthday card is just so charming! The little scene fits perfectly on Mini Slimline Stackables and features Furry and Bright and a “pawsome” greeting from Say What? Pets! She filled in the scene with the log from Toadally Awesome and birthday images from Party Animal and Elphie Selfie!

Samantha created a party-ready card! She combined the taco from Year Nine with the avocado from Let’s Toast with party hats and balloons from Party Animal! She added the sentiment on a Fancy Wavy Banner and created a stenciled backdrop with Brick Stencil!

Jenn‘s fantastic birthday card features a gathering of our special birthday gift critters! It includes our current birthday gift, Party Pig! She stenciled confetti in the background and included a Big Scripty Words greeting combined with a sentiment from Purrfectly Wicked!

A Very Cool Christmas with the Penguins and Samantha!

Our Holiday Critters challenge will be open until Sunday December 5th at 11:59PM ET. We can’t wait to see your creativity!

Samantha created an extra fun Penguin Party design to inspire you today! She set the snowy stage using Stitched Hillside Borders and a Puffy Cloud Border, which she layered over an ink-blended and splattered background!

To help the cute penguins string up the lights on their house, Samantha combined the lights from Penguin Party with lights found in Furry and Bright! She also upped the cuteness by having the critters sport the Furry and Bright reindeer hats!

She colored all of the images using Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. Yay for blue penguins! The sentiment stands out white embossed on a black Everyday Sentiment Banner.

Thanks so much for sharing your adorable inspiration today, Samantha!

Supplies:

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving to all our friends celebrating tomorrow!
