Design Team Inspiration


Samantha‘s adorably punny design features Be Hap-pea, Henry’s ABCs and Draped Ribbons Stencil!


Karin‘s card puts the spotlight on one of the Stitched Root Veggies paired with a sentiment from Carrot ’bout You! She added some pretty detail using Fancy Scalloped Rectangle Stackables.


Christy sends “berry grape” birthday wishes with this fun and clever design! She combined our new Year Fourteen grapes with Berry Special for the cute fruit. Her greeting features Finley’s ABCs and a sentiment from Year Fourteen stamped with Juice Box ink!


Mimi created a sushi feast starring Let’s Roll! She cleverly used the Ta-Da! Diorama! Shop Add-On and Window Frame to fashion a sushi bento box! As always, she used creative license to make her design her own!


Joyce‘s get-well card is filled with fruity goodness! she used Fruit Salad 6×6 paper for the background then she assembled fruit from Year Fourteen, Aloha, Berry Special, You’re the Zest and So Smooth. She added a sentiment from Get Well Before ‘n Afters stamped on a Stitched Sentiment Banner.


I love to see Treat Cart paired with different critters and Samantha delivers with these adorable penguins! She crafted her background using Stitched Ripple Backdrop, Scalloped Rectangle Stackables and Rainbow Ever After paper. She found the cute critters Penguin Party and the message is from Wavy Sayings on a Simple Wavy Banner.


Catherine reminds us of an iconic food with her “souper” birthday card! To create the soup cans, she used Build-A-Drink Root Beer Add-On. The solid piece for the cans and the insert piece to make the can lids. Then after coloring them in the classic colors, she layered them on a Radiant Heart Backdrop. She created the soup bowl with a Circle Stackable and the largest of the Large Stitched Ovals. The little bears are from Den Sweet Den and Snow Much Fun, and the spoon is from Stitched Teacup. And then she spelled out “souper” with Quinn’s ABCs!


Jenn joins us for this challenge with super sweet inspiration! She paired Treat Cart with I Scream, You Scream for some frosty fun with food!

Design Team Inspiration


Karin‘s Car Critters are headed to the beach, anticipating lots of sunshine! I love how she colored the Duh-Nuh shark pink to create a clever pool float! She set the scene with Palm Trees and an inked background! The greeting combines colorful Cole’s ABCs and Henry’s Build-A-Sentiment: Spring!


Franci‘s Whoosh, Kites! mice are having a very happy day! She created this simply fun scene with Pint-Sized Patterns Summertime and detail with a Stitched Border! I love the Turquoise Twine for the kite strings, so clever!


These cute critters are visiting the Southwest for a cowboy experience! Catherine created the desert scene with Desert Canyon Backdrop, Beach Sunset Stencils and agave from Critters in the Desert. The mice are from You Autumn Know, Apple-solutely Awesome and Virtual Friends Add-On and the horse is from Hay There. Catherine also added some fun details, Hats Off to You cowboy hat, wagon from Carrot ’bout You, and a guitar from S’more the Merrier.


Samantha created a tropical scene that is so whimsical! The Meow You Doin’ cats are enjoying a vacation on a tropical island. She set the scene with Tropical Backdrop, Sunray Backdrop and fun images from On the Beach!


Christy‘s joyful Whoosh, Kites! card is perfect for Father’s Day! I love all the bright, cheerful color she used and how she framed the kite flying critters with Meadow Backdrop: Landscape!


On the Beach and Treat Cart pair perfectly in Joyce‘s fun summery scene! She used Large Slimline with Sliders, Slimline Stitched Hillside Borders and Slimline Cloudy Stencils to create the perfect day at the beach!


Take me out to the ballgame! Mimi‘s Treat Cart critters are joined by another critter from Tea-rrific Day to watch a baseball game! I love how the ice cream cart is now selling hot dogs, the iconic favorite of baseball fans! She used Stadium Seating for the bleachers. And she made the baseball mitts by altering the foam finger in the Stadium Seating set, so clever! Other sets she used are Let’s BBQ, Crazy Antics, Just Add Glitter, Tiny Sports Friends and Critters at the Dog Park (“hot dog” on the sign).


This dreamy beach is ready for the critters to enjoy! Samantha inked up an awesome background before adding Life is Good, On the Beach and Fintastic Friends images. The smiling sun from Out of This World finishes this sunny scene!

We will have more Design Team inspiration for the Summertime Fun: Critters on Vacation 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 174 – Feature a Stencil!
