Catherine has some wonderful inspiration for you today! Her beautiful card lights up with lots of love!


Catherine started by stenciling bricks with pretty pink ink. She used an Outside In Stitched Heart to cut the window. To create this fun scene, she layered Heart Garden Border with Ocean Wave Borders and a dotted Valentine border. Then she added the cute Crazy Antics mice on the Flamingo Floatie! Just perfect!


Catherine layered Giant Outlined Love Ya on a Pearlescent Vellum Lacy Heart, using this to hide the EZ Lights behind. She added the Push Here “button” so the recipient will know how to light up this interactive design.

Thank you so much for sharing this amazing inspiration, Catherine!

Karin’s Adorable New Baby Card

- Nancy Krueger 1 Comment

Hello Friends! It’s the last weekend for our Little Things challenge! It will be open until Sunday July 4th at 11:59PM ET so you still have time to share your creativity!

Karin created the most adorable baby card to inspire your weekend crafting!

This little scene is so cute and clever! Karin used some sets in unexpected ways! She used the little umbrella from the Tiny Gift Box Chick and Duck Add-On as a boat for the Car Critters who come bear-ing gifts! (Raise your hand if you knew there was an umbrella in the Chick and Duck Add-On!) You can find the little bow in the Outside In Stitched Balloon Stackables set.

To frame the card, Karin used Fancy Scalloped Rectangle Stackables (she used partial die-cutting to create a square). Then she framed the little scene, featuring Ocean Wave Borders, by cutting a square of white cardstock and using Outside In Stitched Square Stackables to cut the window, leaving the stitched border! The sweet little sentiment is from Rub-A-Dub-Dub!

Thanks so much for this adorable inspiration, Karin!

Franci combined Ahoy Matey with Fairy Friends to make an adorable treasure island themed card! I love how she added the watercolor stripes!

Joyce‘s whimsical scene makes me think of carefree summer days! She used images from Mermaid for You and Bicycle Built for You along with Simple Puffy Clouds and Palm Trees Lawn Cuts dies! She used the pond coordinating die from Dad+Me to make the island, so clever!

Jessica was inspired by the colors to make a fun Coaster Critters interactive slider card!

Samantha C made a card with a sunny beach vibe! I love how she made swim suits for her cute sandcastle-building Rub-A-Dub-Dub ducks!

Kate created a Magic Color Slider card that reveals a cute little Ahoy Matey beach scene!

Christy‘s gorgeous Life is Good scene is perfect with the dad’s day greeting! She used Stitched Oval Stackables and Really Rainbow paper to create a unique background!
