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!

Let’s see what our amazing Design Team created to inspire us!

Samantha created the sweetest Toucan Do It scene on an Outside In Stitched Heart! She used rainbow colors from the inspiration board and the heart shaped candy box from Scent with Love Add-On!

Joyce combined Scent with Love, Scent with Love Add-On and Peekaboo Backdrop to craft a beautiful Valentine! She added the heart-filled background using Lots of Hearts Background Stencils!

Christy‘s cheerful card combines Cerealsly Awesome with Milk and Cookies on a Cross-Stitched Square! The pink and blue stenciled hearts look beautiful as the background!

Jessica‘s card is a Special Delivery of lots of heart! She also used Special Delivery Add-On. The Lots of Hearts were stenciled with Distress Oxide Inks in Spun Sugar, Picked Raspberry, and Festive Berries.

Karin‘s beautiful monogram design combines Lacy Heart Stackables, Cole’s ABCs and a vine and hearts from Magic Iris Birdhouse Add-On. She inked and stenciled background then added white and gold splatters, finally framing everything with a Stitched Scalloped Rectangle Frame!

Franci‘s lovely design features Quilted Heart Backdrop: Portrait, Giant XOXO and Scent with Love! The pretty pastel colors add lots of sweetness to her Valentine card!

Sam used the breakfast trifecta on her brilliant card! She combined Cerealsly Awesome, Milk and Cookies and Let’s Toast to create a fun and punny design with lots of heart!

Caly used our Conversation Heart Stencils to add the colorful background! Then she attached the Gift Card Heart Envelope to give a thoughtful gift!

Jenn was inspired by the challenge board photos to create a clean and simple Valentine! Her design features Stinkin’ Cute with a Quinn’s ABCs sentiment!

More Fabulous Inspiration by our Guest Designer, Davina!

- Nancy Krueger 3 Comments

Hello Fawnatics Friends! We are one week into our Inspired by a Book, Movie or Song challenge and you guys are seriously impressing us with your creativity! There is still a full week to enter the challenge which is open until Sunday, March 17 at 11:59PM ET.

Our amazing Guest Designer, Davina joins us again today to share 2 more fabulous cards to inspire your crafting! She will tell you about her process for making these clever card designs!

“I love creating scenes from movies and books. And when I’m going through my stamp sets I’m always thinking about what else can be created with the images. I was inspired by one on my favorite childhood movies Bambi. I knew that I had images for all the main characters.

My favorite part of the movie is the “Twitterpated” spring. And I tried to recreate that meadow scene. After die cutting my panels I ink-blended the background and splattered white opaque ink on the golden sky. I stamped out all my images and colored them with Copic markers and white gel pen highlights. I wanted my cute Flower the skunk to be behind the flowers like he was in the movie, so I popped the flowers and grass up on foam tape and placed him behind.

Thumper sits atop the log from the Toadally Awesome set, Bambi is standing in front. I didn’t forget Owl who is perched on a branch whistling away. It was such a joy to create this iconic scene and I hope that you play along with the current challenge to create your own scenes.”

“I am such a lover of everything Harry Potter that I couldn’t resist making a something inspired by the Wizarding World. Honeydukes Sweet Shop is by far one of my favorite magical places.”

“After already creating two projects I wanted to try something a little different. I wanted to make a scene that would appear like I was living in the Wizarding World.  And what would the table look like upon emptying my pockets after a day in Hogsmeade Village. I’d have Bertie Botts Every Flavour Beans, and Chocolate Frogs. There would be Droobles best blowing gum and Fizzing Wizzbees. I would have brought home a Pumpkin Pasty for later and some sweet Jelly Slugs (formerly a cute snail from Gleeful Gardens who lost him shell).”

Thank you so much, Davina! Your card art is amazing and we are so happy that you joined us for this challenge!
