Design Team Inspiration

Mimi‘s awesome card depicts iconic images from California. From the golden poppies, and sunshine to the Golden Gate Bridge and the bear that adorns the state flag, Mimi has included them all in a Forest Backdrop framed scene. I love how she spelled out the state in Finley’s ABCs swapping out the O for the sun!

Samantha used How You Bean? to fill the mason jars with some “sweet tea”, a nod to the Southern region of the United States. She also included a sweet lemon from You’re the Zest! She spelled out the punny greeting with Harold’s ABCs on a Fancy Wavy Banner!

Christy used a bunch of different sets to create small scenes in a Peekaboo Backdrop! She used Happy Village, Coaster Critters, Smooth Sailing and Ahoy Matey to highlight some special places where she lives.

Franci created a fun collage using our Village sets to stand in for her town. I love that she added the cute Happy Hugs critters and sentiment!

Karin‘s card is so fun with a heart shaped Swedish flag and iconic horse! She used the horse from Hay There and Henry’s ABCs to write out her country. She framed it all with a Heart Garland Backdrop: Portrait.

I love Samantha‘s design with some of the sights found in Ohio! It reminds me of a travel brochure! She used Smooth Sailing, Coaster Critters, and Love You S’more for the images. She created the lake with Stitched Pond Frame and then she used Oliver’s Stitched ABCs to include her state name.

Joyce‘s cheery card showcases a bunch of typical Dutch things: cows, bicycles, cheese, tulips and rainy days! Her happy scene features Hay There, Bicycle Built for You, Crazy Antics, Meadow Border, Apple-solutely Awesome, Screen Time, Den Sweet Den and Beary Rainy Day! She stenciled the background using Rainy Sky Stencil.

Catherine filled her card with iconic images of Canada! Wood You Be Mine beavers are essential and so is the Critters in the Arctic moose! She included snow-covered Stitched Mountain Borders and used Henry’s ABCs to spell Canada! She even gave her card a fun interactive element, when you pull the tab the So Dam Much beaver tails wave!

Of course, our resident mermaid lives near the ocean! Jenn created a watercolor background and Quinn’s ABCs. Then she added cute jellyfish from Ocean Shell-fie and So Jelly! Then she framed her card with Heart Garland Backdrop: Landscape. I love how she swapped the hearts for shells and starfish! So clever!

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 142 – Interactive Cards tomorrow! We can’t wait to see how you Show Us Where You Live!

Mimi doubled the fun for her great amusement park scene! She added both the Reveal Wheel and Let’s Toast Pull Tab Add-On interactive element!


Mimi used Coaster Critters for the roller coaster, Ahoy Matey for the palm trees and snow from Winter in the Park as bushes in creating this wonderful scene.


She added characters from Tiny Friends and Tiny Sports Friends! I love how she turned one of them into a balloon-selling clown. To create the swing in the foreground Mimi combined the ship from Ahoy Matey with a piece from the swing set in Let’s Play. That’s what I call getting the most from your stamp sets!


The Reveal Wheel makes the tiny coaster cars loop the loop! Mimi used the hamster wheel from Wheelie Like You to add the loop on the roller coaster!


The Let’s Toast Pull Tab Add-On makes the large coaster cars emerge from the tunnel at the end of the ride! And you’ll never guess what Mimi used for the “tunnel”. Check out Let’s Roll! She turned the sushi roll on its side, so clever!

Thanks so much for sharing this clever and creative inspiration, Mimi!

Catherine has some wonderful inspiration for you today! Her beautiful card lights up with lots of love!


Catherine started by stenciling bricks with pretty pink ink. She used an Outside In Stitched Heart to cut the window. To create this fun scene, she layered Heart Garden Border with Ocean Wave Borders and a dotted Valentine border. Then she added the cute Crazy Antics mice on the Flamingo Floatie! Just perfect!


Catherine layered Giant Outlined Love Ya on a Pearlescent Vellum Lacy Heart, using this to hide the EZ Lights behind. She added the Push Here “button” so the recipient will know how to light up this interactive design.

Thank you so much for sharing this amazing inspiration, Catherine!
