Samantha created wonderful inspiration for you with her imaginative city scene!


To create this colorful city, Samantha started with the background, stenciling the sky with Sunray Stencil to look like the glow from the city lights. She used Distress ink in Wilted Violet, Blueprint Sketch and Mermaid Lagoon. The she cut Stitched Hillside Borders and inked them with Black Soot and Lost Shadow Distress Oxide inks.


She stamped the images from Happy Village and Village Heroes with Jet Black ink. She water-colored them with Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers in rainbow hues, arranging them in rainbow order. Finally, she added a white embossed sentiment and white gel pen highlights.

Thanks so much for sharing your amazing card design with us today, Samantha! This is a perfect way to congratulate friends who have a new home!

Mimi created the cutest city scene to inspire you today!


Mimi began this adorable city scene with a Large Stitched Rectangle inked with Black Soot Distress Oxide ink, creating crosswalks using Sunray Stencil. Next she used the rectangle piece in the Magic Picture Changer Oven Add-On (you could substitute Small Stitched Rectangle or Small Mini Slimline) to make the four sidewalks, adding traffic signs and fire hydrants from Village Heroes.


She stamped all the images from Car Critters, Bubbles of Joy, Mice on Ice, Simply Celebrate Critters and Tiny Christmas with Jet Black Ink and colored them with Copic markers. She found the word “dream” in Fly High to stamp on the license plate. Finally, the white embossed the sentiment on Black Licorice cardstock to finish this super fun city scene!

Thank you so much for sharing your amazing card design with us, Mimi! I love your creativity!

There is another week for this challenge which closes at 11:59PM Eastern Time on Sunday April 30. Will you be making a city scene or a country scene? We can’t wait to see!

Design Team Inspiration

It looks like most of our Design Team members are country girls at heart!


Catherine created a super fun, superhero in the city themed Platform Pop-Up card! The superhero mouse from You Autumn Know has a mask and cape from Happy Howloween. Catherine created the cityscape with Village Border, Build-A-Castle and Build-A-Barn. Then she added emergency vehicles from Village Heroes.


Joyce created a country fair scene with the new Ferris Wheel from Wheely Great Day! She added to scene with Village Shops and Happy Village, then she added lots of happy Tiny Friends!


What could be more “country” than a barnyard full of cute farm animals! Samantha combined Hay There with You Goat This to create a country themed birthday card!


Mimi‘s Apple-solutely Awesome apple-picking scene is so adorable! She included smaller trees from Tree Before ‘n Afters and layered all the trees on treetops from the Tree House set. She also added the wagon from Let’s Go Nuts and the net from Butterfly Kisses Flip-Flop, so clever.


You Goat This and All-Star combine in Samantha‘s country scene! I love the pink sunrays she inked in the background with white stencil paste clouds over the top!


Christy‘s amusement park scene is filled with sunshine and fun! She combined Wheely Great Day and Coaster Critters with some trees from Happy Village!


Franci‘s cute You Goat This scene makes me think of an alpine meadow in the Spring! I love that she created her scene in a die cut circle with Heart Garden Border, layering the cute goats on 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 146 – Color Inspiration tomorrow! We can’t wait to see which theme you will choose, city vs country!
