Catherine was inspired by a Christmas card that Marine created for the introduction to Ugly and Bright! She put her own spin on the original by changing the season, creating an amazing beachy, summer design!


In addition to the Ugly and Bright bear, Catherine featured bears from Snow Much Fun and Den Sweet Den! I love the little sleeping bear getting some sun on the sandy beach! She created the beach scene with Stitched Wave Borders, Hammock and Trees and Stitched Hillside Borders. Then she added Sandy Beach Accents and more beachy cuteness with On the Beach and Beachy Christmas. The bear is wearing a bucket hat from Dad + Me and the luggage is found in Car Critters Road Trip Add-On!


She used Reveal Wheel and clear acetate to make the spinning wheel of summer t-shirts! As the wheel turns the bear changes his outfit! So clever!


Catherine used the plain sweater from Ugly and Bright for the summer t-shirts. She stamped a hibiscus from Toucan Do It on one and the island from Plan on It on another one. The third t-shirt is paper-pieced using Gummy Bears paper.


And here is Marine’s brilliant Christmas card that inspired Catherine’s amazing summer-themed interactive card!

I love your amazing card, Catherine! Thanks so much for the inspiration!

Design Team Inspiration


Samantha C was inspired by this Sometimes Life is Prickly card by Mindy!


Samantha swapped out the porcupine for the Party Animal bear and chose the ice cream cones from Simply Celebrate Summer to make it her own!


Mimi found her inspiration in this veggie themed card that Jenn designed for Create with Us!


Mimi used the Veggie Happy mice to create a fun gardening scene with Stitched Garden Veggies and Stitched Root Veggies like Jenn’s card. She added Little Farm Fence Border and Stitched Wavy Backdrop: Landscape to her scene.


Karin was inspired by a new year card created by Samantha Mann!


Karin took the design inspiration from Samantha to create an elegant wedding card! Karin’s card features Happy Couples, Scripty Congrats, Henry’s Build-A-Sentiment: Spring, Mini Snowflakes and Let It Shine Starry Skies 6×6 paper.


Christy‘s son works road construction, so Catherine‘s clever design was perfect inspiration for a special card!


Christy stayed pretty faithful to Catherine’s original design while adding a few clever details to personalize her card. She also changed the sentiment, spelling out part of it in Finley’s ABCs. The scene came together with Hay There Hayrides, Rub-A-Dub-Dub, Beary Rainy Day and On the Road.


Franci was charmed by Chari‘s sweet design with Heart Garden Border and So Dam Much!


Franci made this card her own by using pretty patterned papers with a sweet sentiment from Butterfly Kisses.


Joyce loved Mimi‘s bubble bath design combining Rub-A-Dub-Dub with some cute mice!


Joyce used mice from Dandy Day and Virtual Friends! She used the cape from Happy Howloween for the towels hanging on the Purrfectly Wicked shelf.


Catherine was inspired to use Giant You Are #1 by Caly‘s fun Tiny Sports Friends card!


Rather than use the tiny friend’s soccer theme, Catherine created a boxing ring for the Kanga-rrific kangaroos! She used bubbles from Elephant Parade and Bubbles of Joy to create the boxing gloves. Just like Caly, she included the trophy from All-Star. In the background she stenciled with Sunray Background Stencil.


Samantha M was inspired by Jenn‘s glittery Quinn’s ABCs card design with lots of inky techniques!


Samantha created a summery design by inking a sunny, ocean background. Then she inked another panel to cut out the Quinn’s ABCs letters, adding lots of chunky glitter!
