Design Team Inspiration


Samantha created the sweetest wedding card featuring the cute mice from Christmas Before ‘n Afters! She decked them out in a veil and top hat from Bicycle Built for You, then placed them in an arch created with Secret Garden Window! She used pretty shades of purple paper from Watercolor Wishes Rainbow, Watercolor Wishes and Stripes ‘n Sprinkles. And she used Celebrate Border as her greeting.


Mimi has the perfect card for welcoming a sweet fur baby! She used the Secret Garden Window arch as a stencil to add Distress Mica color to the background. Then she altered the picnic basket from Crazy Antics to make a sweet basket for the little puppy from Simply Celebrate Critters. She also used a dog from Furry and Bright along with images from Little Bundle and Yappy Birthday.


Christy‘s colorful creation is perfect for celebrating winter birthdays or sending kudos for a job well done! Her snowy scene combines Penguin Party, Snow Cool, Beary Happy Holidays, Snowball Fight, Simply Celebrate Winter Critters and Simply Celebrate Winter Critters Add-On.


Our Elephant Parade set is so perfect for making baby cards! And I love how Karin stacked the two elephants in her sweet shaker scene! She also used Birch Trees, Heart Garland Backdrop: Portrait and Henry’s ABCs.


Joyce‘s cute card is perfect for weddings, anniversaries and engagements! She used little mouse critters from Simply Celebrate Critters and Christmas Before ‘n Afters. She added a Little Heart Strings Border and a sentiment from Peacock Before ‘n Afters.


Franci is ready with gift tags when there are new arrivals! I love that she used the sweet stork image from our first baby set, Plus One! She arranged the storks on Stitched Circle Tags with some puffy clouds from the Butterfly Kisses coordinating Lawn Cuts die set.


2024 is the Year of the Dragon so Catherine used our adorable Winter Dragon and Little Dragon to create a celebration card! For the background she combined Secret Garden Window and Fancy Lattice Backdrop. She created a “scroll” with a Stitched Rectangle and the rolling pin coordinating die from Baked with Love. For the firecrackers she used the tin cans from Bicycle Built for You and Fireworks Hot Foil Plates. And her greeting is from Offset Sayings: Christmas.

We will have more Design Team inspiration right here over the next 2 weeks and be sure to come back tomorrow when we’ll announce our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 163 – Happy New Year Inspiration Board!

It’s the last weekend for the Inspired by Your Favorite Holiday Song or Movie challenge and Mimi shares a super clever card with you! She used Reveal Wheel to create movement in her Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree inspired card!


Mimi created a happy scene with Here We Go A-Waddling, Penguin Party and Joy for All. Then the magic begins as she used Reveal Wheel to add movement to the scene. Turn the wheel back and forth at the top of the card to see the penguins (mounted on acetate) move as they rock around the Christmas tree.


Mimi combined sentiments from Here We Go A-Waddling, Scent with Love Add-On, Let’s Go Nuts and Coaster Critters to piece together “Rockin’ around the Christmas tree”!

Thank you, Mimi, for creating this amazing inspiration for us!

Supplies:

Design Team Inspiration

Karin created a clean and simple design that is absolutely gorgeous! I love how she curved the strawberry border from Berry Special to fit the sketch shape. Her sunny sentiment is found in Window Scene: Spring!

Christy used lots of creativity to interpret the sketch! The Car Critters car stands in for the half circle element while she flipped the design to add the sentiment at the top! She also used Stitched Mountain Borders, Car Critters Christmas Add-On and Tiny Christmas.

For her beautiful interpretation of the sketch, Mimi created a glowing winter moon! She included a cute wintry scene along with the sentiment. It features Let’s Go Nuts, Winter in the Park and streetlamps from Here We Go A-Waddling. I love how she used Sandy Beach Accents to make snow drifts for the squirrels to hide their acorns.

Samantha‘s design is so charming! She used the igloo from Penguin Party as the circular element with some cute bears from Snow Much Fun! She prettied up the Home for the Holidays sentiment with trees from Yeti or Not.

Franci created a sweet Winter Skies scene that closely follows the sketch. She stenciled the moon using Nighttime Sky Stencil.

Samantha‘s card is perfect to celebrate a birthday! Her design combines Outside In Stitched Balloon Stackables with the sweet little puppy from Joy to All! Her sentiment is found in Meow You Doin’.

The Fangtastic Friends bats are celebrating a happy holiday in Joyce‘s fun design. The Full Moon die fits the sketch perfectly!

The Beary Rainy Day bears are having fun with a giant snowball in Catherine‘s clever interactive design! She altered a Stitched Rectangle using an Outside In Stitched Balloon to work with the wheel from Reveal Wheel. In the background she added Snowflake Background Stencil, then she combined words from Den Sweet Den and Cozy Christmas to make the sentiment.

Jenn followed the sketch using Nighttime Sky Stencil and the Winter Skies bears. She created her “magical” design with beautiful ink-blending and lots of glitter!

We will share more Design Team inspiration for you over the next 2 WEEKS and we’ll announce our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 137 – Holiday Critters tomorrow! Now it’s time to get creative with the Card Sketch!
