We have invited Mona Toth to join us as our Guest Designer for this challenge! Her bright and cheerful designs are favorites with cardmakers on Instagram and we knew she would make something amazing for this challenge!

Mona created a totally brilliant infinity style party invitation! Each time the card is unfolded it opens to another fabulous scene with more to the invitation!

Mona embellished her infinity card with many underwater classics like Mermaid for You, You are Sublime, Octopi my Heart and So Jelly along with Quinn’s Capital ABCs dies.

Infinity card designs can be a little tricky to make so Mona made a video tutorial to show you how to create one! You can check it out at her YouTube channel.

Now let’s check out the fabulous Perfect for Parties projects by our amazing Design Team!

Grace‘s adorable picnic party decor is perfect for celebrating summer! She customized the Cake Slice Box with a mix of green and red patterned papers to create the fun watermelon treat boxes! Then she used a much loved older mini set, Happy Summer to make watermelon cupcake toppers and to decorate the Scalloped Treat Box and a sweet little note!

Christy has a new puppy to love so she made a super fun treat box for Gemma‘s new friends! She used the Milk Carton die set along with cute pups from Critters at the Dog Park and Say What? Pets! She decorated the milk carton box with elements from Scalloped Treat Box Spring House Add-On!

Samantha is celebrating her son’s graduation from 5th grade and that’s a pretty big occasion! She made these totally cool straws for the party using Outside In Stitched Cloud Stackables and Stitched Cloud Frames along with the paper airplane from Plane and Simple and a fun sentiment from Party Animal on a Fancy Wavy Banner!

Jessica created these super cute Tiny Gift Boxes for her music students to celebrate the end of year recital! The gift boxes are decorated with images from Critter Concert and Little Music Notes!

Joyce used Goodie Bag and a Stitched Gift Card Pocket to make a super adorable birthday gift bag! She used Gingham Backdrops to add some cute pattern to the box, then she filled the pocket with little bears from For You, Deer!

What is better for a summer party than yummy strawberry pie! Samantha created the perfect pie treat box using Cake Slice Box and the new new Stitched Cupcake die set!

Karin made a sweet card and gift box set for a new baby baptism party! She used the darling bunnies and greeting from Hello Baby with a Lacy Heart and Outside In Stitched Heart Stackable on the card! She added another cute bunny to the Heart Treat Box!

Franci‘s charming Tiny Gift Box Cat Add-On box would be perfect to celebrate a new kitten in the family! They would be so cute filled with candy or maybe a treat to share with a special kitty!

We will have Design Team inspiration for you over the next 2 weeks and we’ll share our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 53 tomorrow!

Grace created an amazing and Toadally Awesome scene with a super fun twist! She altered the Let’s Toast Pull Tab Add-On to add 2 extra tabs to give all 3 of her cute critters movement!

When the tab is pulled, 2 frogs jump down while the one in the middle pops up! This beautiful scene is all sorts of gorgeous in pretty pastel colors!

Here’s a quick peek at the modifications that Grace used to create her brilliant interactive card!

And now let’s introduce our Guest Designer for this challenge! We are so happy to have Ildi Imrefalvi share her amazing creativity with us! You will find her on Instagram as hellopilda, give her a follow, you will be inspired!

Ildi created a super cute and festive birthday card with our Party Animal critters and their friend from Holiday Party Animal! How cute are those Pick of the Patch squirrels holding the Celebrate Border!

Ildi added fun detail to her fabulous card with a stamped a backdrop using a sentiment from our Let’s Play set! The little sailboat is from Rub-A-Dub-Dub and the pile of presents are found in our Baaah Humbug and Christmas Dreams sets.

Now let’s see what our amazing Design Team has made created to inspire us!

Jessica‘s beautiful card features Elphie Selfie and Selfie Frames on a sweet Polka Heart Backdrop! She created the custom sentiment by combining the greeting in Elphie Selfie with one from Sweet Friends!

Joyce made a sunshine-y card with the Jump for Joy critters in a whimsical scene that includes Sweet Friends treats and the Thanks a Latte coffee mug!

Samantha C gathered a happy group of elephants from Elphie Selfie and Wild for You to celebrate the cute little mouse’s birthday! She added party fun to her adorable card using Itsy Bitsy Polka Dot Backdrop and Bunting Borders!

I love how Christy combined old and new sets to create this brilliant “down under” inspired card! The koala is brand new from our I Love You(calyptus) mini set and she set the scene using stamps from Critters Down Under!

Karin‘s charming card starts with Quilted Backdrop and a Stitched Scalloped Rectangle Frame with a Mini Picture Frame in a cheery white on white design! It’s the perfect setting for cute Rub-A-Dub-Dub ducklings to frolic! She included a greeting from Tiny Tag Sayings that fits perfectly in the mini frame!

Say What? Christmas Critters sure are a bunch of happy little critters on Franci‘s brilliant card! The fun greetings and speech bubbles are included in this fun set too! I love how she arranged these little cuties!

Samantha‘s underwater birthday scene is so amazing! It features You Are Sublime with a sentiment from Fintastic Friends and party hats and balloon from Party Animal!

The party fun continues on the inside with our Critters in the Sea whale popped up using Everyday Pop-Ups dies! Ocean Wave Borders add ocean detail to the top of the scene!

Jenn‘s Critter Concert critters are creating a symphony of rainbow color for her watercolor gem! Little Music Notes and Thank You Border round out this fabulous card design!
