Karin created a stylish backdrop for the cute woodland critters on her card!


Karin first inked up a beautiful blend of colors for the background. Then she layered Birch Trees behind the cut out left from die cutting Magic Iris Tropical Leaves Add-On and popped it up over the inky panel.


Then she added the sweet woodland critters from Let’s Go Nuts and Winter Birds! The final step was to add the perfect sentiment from Hay There, Hayrides!

Thank so much for this lovely inspiration, Karin!

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!

Hey friends, it’s Christy here with another card for our Inspiration Board Challenge! For this card I wanted to use one of my favorite stamp sets of the year, Winter Birds! I adore birds and I get a lot of cardinals in my yard, so this set has a special place in my heart. I also brought in the Winter Birds Add-On, to give my cardinals a warm place to go to get out of the snow! I stamped all the images out with Jet Black Ink, colored them with Copic markers, and trimmed them out with the matching dies.


For the background, I started with a piece of Spiffier Speckles 6×6 paper trimmed down with the second largest of the Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables. I blended Distress Oxide Inks around the edges, using Shaded Lilac first, then a little Dusty Concord at the corners. Then I splattered on some white acrylic paint.


While that was drying, I trimmed out a piece of Barn Red Cardstock to be slightly larger than the focal panel, and then also trimmed out some Knit Picky Winter 6×6 paper with the largest of the Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables. I adhered this to a Speckled Eggshell card base and popped the focal panel up with foam tape. I added a sentiment at the bottom, stamped in Lobster Ink, and adhered my images with liquid glue, then finished with a bit of Stardust Stickles.



This card is Day 18 of my 2023 Holiday Card Series, so if you’d like to see how it came together, you can check out the video tutorial on my YouTube channel, Christy Gets Crafty! We hope you’re enjoying our Inspiration Board challenge. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Thank you, Christy for inspiring us today!
