Design Team Inspiration


Christy‘s rainbow-colored birthday card is so much fun! She stenciled with Bunting Background Stencils on top of a Cloudy Stenciled sky. She also stenciled the grassy border. The adorable images from Yappy Birthday and Yappy Birthday Add-On are so perfect in this happy setting!


To create this amazing card, Samantha first inked up the Corner Rainbow Stencil in cool colors of ink. She used Distress Ink in Wilted Violet, Seedless Preserves, Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon, Peacock Feathers, Salvaged Patina and Cracked Pistachio. Then she used white embossing paste to add textured clouds with Cloud Background Stencils. The brightly inked Giant Hello Sunshine is so sunny!


Franci stenciled a subtle all-over Tropical Leaves Background on a card panel before arranging some cute critters from Toucan Do It. Such a beautiful card!


Joyce‘s bold Lots of Stars Background Stencils design is perfect for Father’s Day! She stenciled the stars on Sticky Note cardstock with Distress Oxide Ink in Prize Ribbon and Candied Apple! Then she added lots of fun images from All Star!


Karin is getting a jump on her Christmas cards with this beautiful design! She combined Winter Birds on a Lacy Heart with Lots of Hearts Background Stencils.


Samantha inked up a cloudy backdrop with Cloud Background Stencils. They are perfect with the Fly High hot air balloons and cute elephants from Elephant Parade and Elephant Parade Add-On!


Catherine got really creative with this fun water park scene! She used Draped Ribbons Stencil to create the colorful water slide! She added Stitched Wave Borders and Simple Puffy Cloud Frames to build the scene. Then lots of cute mice from You Autumn Know and Really High Five get in on the watery fun on pool floats from Pool Party to complete this summery card!


Mimi‘s cheerful birthday card combines Bunting Background Stencils with confetti and balloons from Balloons Stencil! She created the fun party with Simple Celebrate More Critters, All the Party Hats and cake slices from Tea-rrific Day Add-On!


We will have more Design Team inspiration for the Feature a Stencil challenge right here over the next 2 weeks! Be sure to come back tomorrow when we’ll announce our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 173 – Dies Only!

Samantha’s tropical themed birthday card features Toucan Do It and Hang In There with a Tropical Leaves Backdrop! She included birthday party fun with a cake from Elphie Selfie and balloons from Scootin’ By. She also added lots of amazing color with Rainbow Ever After and Spiffier Speckles papers!

I love the sparkly yellow stars! She used Spring Sparkle cardstock to cut the stars with Starry Skies, then she sprinkled them in the background.

Thank you so much for this wonderful inspiration, Samantha!

Design Team Inspiration


Mimi was inspired by the tropical images to create a fun Toucan Do It design! She included Tropical Leaves Backdrop, Tropical Vine Borders and Birch Tree Stencils!


Samantha‘s gorgeous card features Gleeful Gardens! She also included flowers from Fairy Friends and Hive Five. Her lovely wreath design is so creative! She added texture by stenciling with Fall Leaves Background Stencils and white stencil paste. She added color with Distress Inks in Seedless Preserves, Milled Lavender and Lost Shadow.


Karin sends love with Giant XOXO! She added sweet floral design with Spring Blossoms Background Stencils and tiny flowers and vines from Magic Iris Birdhouse Add-On.


Catherine‘s adorable flower cart features Garden Before ‘n Afters. She included mice from Sew Very Mice, Berry Special and A Creature was Stirring. To create the flower cart she used the roof from Scalloped Treat Box Beach House Add-On as the awning. She added the barn door from Build-A-Barn to add detail to the cart. The cart wheel is a combination of Circle Stackables and the coordinating bicycle die from Bicycle Built for You.


Samantha created a tropical environment for our One in a Chameleon critter! She combined Tropical Leaves Background Stencils with Magic Iris Tropical Leaves Add-On! The beautiful warm colors are a fun change from the typical tropical greens and blues!


Franci’s Gleeful Gardens design is so sweet! She used Flower Market paper in the background while creating her scene on the upper third of the card!


Joyce‘s birthday card features Giant Happy Birthday to You on a Gotta Have Gingham background. She added sweet daisy accents from the new Magic Iris Beehive Add-On.


Christy crafted a beautiful tropical scene by combining Toucan Do It, Critters in the Jungle, A Bug Deal and Wild for You! She created the look of a jungle in the background by stenciling with the Birch Tree Stencils.


Jenn‘s thank you card is simply beautiful! She water colored the Spring Flowers Backdrop, adding a wash of color to the background as well. Then she layered Giant Thank You over the top!

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 149 – Dies Only tomorrow!
