Check out the How to Play page for a few guidelines to play along. We want this to be FUN so we’ll keep the rules to just a few!

So let’s see how the Design Team was inspired by this new challenge!

Caly used Little Bundle to create an all-over pattern of cute little baby clothes on her card! She used Scripty Congrats as her greeting!

Joyce used an adorable older set, Plus One to create her beautiful card! She framed the nighttime scene with Puffy Cloud Borders!

Christy‘s card is so adorable and perfect to welcome Kelly’s baby boy when he arrives! She combined Wild for You with scene building images from Critters in the Jungle! The sweet sentiment is from Hello Baby.

Karin also used the sweet critters from Wild for You to create the cutest clean and simple design! She included some cute toys from Rub-A-Dub-Dub, too! I love how she die cut the Oliver’s Stitched ABCs letters from metallic gold cardstock!

Samantha used the umbrella and raindrops from Plus One to create this sweet slimline baby shower card! She trimmed the top with Puffy Cloud Borders and added a Grassy Border on the bottom of this happy design!

Franci‘s card is so charming featuring the Little Bundle clothesline! Cute little baby necessities are popped up on the line and a sweet sentiment and cute birds finish this adorable design!

RAWRSOME and Just Stitching Hearts are a sweet combination on Samantha‘s clever card! She used a sentiment from Hello Baby!

I made a little card for Kelly using Lawn Fawn’s first and one of my favorite baby sets, Plus One! I added the sentiment on a Bannertastic banner and framed the cute stork with a Reverse Stitched Scalloped Circle Window.

Jenn‘s adorable welcome baby card set is quick and easy to make! It even includes a design for twins to double the fun! She used Quilted Backdrop to add sweetness then she added Oliver’s Stitched ABCs and cute little love bugs from Bugs and Kisses! This is a versatile design, just change the colors for a boy or girl!

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 76 tomorrow!

Karin’s Gorgeous Butterflies!

- Nancy Krueger 3 Comments

Karin shares a lovely Spring design based on our Card Sketch! I hope it will inspire you to join the challenge!

Karin started by using the Just Stitching Hearts dies to create the pretty pattern on the Storm Cloud panel! It’s such a simple step but it adds so much detail!

Using a stamping tool like a MISTI, Karin first stamped the Flutter By butterflies in Jellyfish Copic-friendly ink on white cardstock. She left the stamp in the MISTI while she colored the butterflies in beautiful Spring color combinations. Then she returned the butterflies to the MISTI to stamp them once again with Clear Embossing Ink and emboss them with gold embossing powder!

Thanks for sharing this fun technique with us today, Karin! Your card is so gorgeous!

Check out the Card Sketch challenge and join the fun! This challenge is open until Sunday, April 19th at 11:59PM ET.

A Delightful Heart Day Card with Samantha!

- Nancy Krueger 3 Comments

Hey everyone, Samantha here wishing you a very happy Valentine’s Day! I have created a sweet little Valentine’s scene inspired by the current Lots of Love challenge! I love the washy rainbow color palette and the casual hearts on the inspiration board. Rainbow colors are always fun to work with and they bring such a fresh look to your project.

The sweet little ducks from the Rub-A-Dub-Dub stamp set are so expressive and adorable. The ducks are having fun dancing under the raining hearts. The tiny umbrella from the Elphie Selfie stamp set is scaled perfectly for the ducks. I stamped the pond from the Dad + Me stamp set in the Fresh Lavender ink. I colored shadows on top of the ink with my Copic makers. I love to color on top of colored ink, because it is a quick and easy way to add depth to a flatter stamped image. I added rainbow color in the umbrellas and the Rain or Shine Before ‘n Afters rainbow!

The Just Stitching Hearts die cuts are so amazing for backgrounds. You can layer the different hearts together for an interesting look. They add a fun tonal element behind your scene.

You still have time to enter the Lots of Love challenge! The challenge is open until Sunday, February 16th 11:59 Eastern Time. Please check out the challenge for tons of inspiration.

Thank you so much for stopping by, I hope you have the a wonderful day!

Wishing our Fawnatics friends a happy, crafty weekend!
