Samantha’s One in a Chameleon Beach Scene

- Nancy Krueger 1 Comment

We hope you enjoy today’s inspiration! We can’t wait to see your beach or mountain creativity! The Challenge 126 – Beach vs Mountain is a 2-week challenge and will be open until Sunday, June 19 at 11:59PM ET. 

Samantha has created a super fun card featuring a cute chameleon relaxing on the beach!

To create this fabulous beach scene, Samantha started with Tropical Backdrop in Gold Rush cardstock. Then she added an inky sunset sky and Stitched Simple Wavy Border ocean. The palm trees (Tropical Backdrop) are cut from Cilantro and Shimmer neutral cardstock and she added Spring Showers clouds in vellum!

She stamped, colored and die cut the images from One in a Chameleon and On the Beach before assembling them on the sand! The final touch is the greeting in Oliver’s Stitched ABCs!

Thanks so much for this beautifully adorable inspiration, Samantha!

Our awesome Design Team has some fantastic Cards for Kids inspiration for you!

Samantha‘s colorful birthday card features You’re Claw-some! The bear from Critter Concert is a perfect fit for her scene, after some fussy cutting to remove his trumpet! He looks like he’s having lots of luck with the claw machine!

Christy created her amazing birthday card on a panel of Spiffy Speckles paper die cut with the Sunburst Backdrop. She arranged colorful animals from Critters on the Savanna and Wild for You around the Magic Messages greeting!

Joyce‘s card is perfect for a fairytale-loving kid! She created a castle in the clouds with Build-A-Castle and Puffy Cloud Backdrop: Portrait! The Unicorn Picnic critters and fairies look right at home in this happy scene!

Karin‘s kid-friendly birthday card features Village Heroes in a clean and simple grid design!

Franci‘s design features the cute mice of Bubbles of Joy and the Bubble Border to create a sweet card! It is perfect for sending a Scripty Bubble Sentiments “smile” to brighten the day a child!

What could be better than a rainbow chameleon on a kid’s birthday card? Samantha created an inky Stitched Rainbow and added it to layered Shimmer cardstock Zig Zag Squares!

Caly‘s all die cut card is delightful! She inked up the ice cream scoops from I Scream, You Scream in cheery colors and added sweet smiling faces! A cherry on top is the perfect detail. She finished her card with Scripty Sweet and layered everything on a Quilted Backdrop!

Jessica created a modified Center Picture Window Card with Puffy Cloud Borders to create an awesome graduation card! She used Upon a Star for the critter, Simply Celebrate Spring for the cap and So Jelly for the perfect message!

Jenn‘s charming birthday design features the Wild for You lion! He pops against the watercolor Salvaged Patina Distress background! She gave this card a happy vibe with balloons from Bicycle Built for You and a Happy Happy Happy greeting!

We are so excited to have a wonderfully talented Guest Designer join us for this challenge! Help us welcome, Jane! She shares her amazing creativity on Instagram as papercraft4fun!

Jane combined the Reveal Wheel with Build-A-House and the Christmas Add-On to make a brilliant tree house! The woodland owls, birds and squirrels are joining forces to deck it out for the holidays!

Woodgrain cardstock is a perfect idea for the “tree trunk”, door and windows. The bright colored Christmas lights and Chunky Glitter add a fun festive look to Jane‘s wonderful interactive holiday card!

Joyce‘s charming card shows that any critter can be a holiday critter! She added a Santa hat to our cute chameleon and he’s ready to star in her beautiful clean and simple design! The pretty greeting is from Toboggan Together.

Karin‘s beautifully framed little scene features the penguins from Here We Go A-Waddling!

The Beary Happy Holidays bears are very happy critters in Samantha‘s adorable card design! They are using great teamwork to decorate the tree with golden fish! Happy Holidays Line Border and Mini Snowflakes add lots of sparkle die cut from Pixie Dust cardstock!

Christy‘s coloring gives the cute Snow Cool critters a sweet vintage style! They are a great addition to the Snow Day Remix scene in the background!

Jessica‘s cute aquatic critters are celebrating on the shore and in the water! I love how she combined Christmas Fishes with Here We Go A-Waddling!

Franci‘s cute hedgies are trimming the Christmas Dreams tree wearing cute Santa hats from Baaah Humbug! She combined the greeting from Hedgehugs with colorful Offset Sayings: Christmas!

Samantha‘s whimsical scene brings new meaning to the term “reindeer games”! The Toboggan Together deer have set up their Screen Time games among the Critters in the Forest trees! I would say these are some very happy little holiday critters!

The Mice on Ice are always happy to be skating together! Caly‘s Shadow Box Card uses the Mountain Add-On to create a fun Winter wonderland for them!
