Design Team Inspiration


Catherine was inspired by our new Elephant Parade Add-On and Disney’s Dumbo to create a sweet circus themed card! She got really creative finding images from other sets to get the details just right! Dumbo’s hat is a mix of the witch hat from Booyah, and the nurse hat from Get Well Soon. And she used a cloud from Fly High to make Dumbo’s ruffled collar. She also included mice from Apple-solutely Awesome and Berry Special and Raffle Tickets, Build-A-Campsite and Fishtail Banner Borders.


Samantha was inspired by the children’s book, I Love You to the Moon and Back! The cute bears are from Den Sweet Den, and ice from Critters in the Arctic helps to recreate the scene from the book jacket. She used Nighttime Sky to stencil that amazing moon and stamped the sentiment by combined Henry Jr.’s ABCs and Out of This World.


Karin was inspired by Ratatouille! Her amazing scene features A Creature Was Stirring, Purrfectly Wicked and the Ugly and Bright bear. She stenciled brick on the Window Frame and included a die cut greeting from Gift Box.


The Little Mermaid was Franci‘s inspiration for this sweet shaker design! She mixed Mermaid for You with Ocean Shell-fie for the characters. I love her stamped background!


Joyce was also inspired by the animated movie, Dumbo to create a sweet baby card! She created a little scene with Elephant Parade on a Scalloped Circle adding cute details from the movie! I love the little top hat from Bicycle Built for You on the mouse, its so clever!


Christy‘s card features Ocean Shell-fie, Mermaid for You, You Are Sublime and Scripty Bubble Sentiments in a fun underwater scene!


Christy was inspired by amazing artwork on a book jacket!


Samantha was inspired by favorite childhood anime show called Sailor Moon. She combined from Screen Time, Purrfectly Wicked and Starry Sky Stencil to create this clever scene.

Mimi worked her magic to create a card inspired by Top Gun: Maverick! She did some clever masking to create fighter jets from the Plane and Simple airplanes. The pilots from from Tiny Sports Friends and Maverick is from Tiny Friends. She also used Village Heroes and the retired Plan on It: Vacation.

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 144 – All Things Birthday tomorrow! We can’t wait to see how you will be inspired!

Samantha‘s cheerful birthday card features the Really High Five critters with colorful stenciled clouds! I love how she also used the box from Special Delivery Add-On for the little mouse!


Mimi‘s clever card features our Year Thirteen birthday set with cute dim sum and a punny greeting! To create a festive party on her card, Mimi used Balloons Stencil to fill the background with balloons and confetti! She combined the grill from Let’s BBQ with the cat bed from Meow You Doin’ to create the steamer baskets, so brilliant!


A day at the amusement park is perfect to celebrate a birthday! And Joyce‘s beautiful Wheely Great Day design sends a really happy greeting!


Christy‘s adorable card with Elephant Parade is perfect for a first birthday! She combined pretty layers of Stripes ‘n Sprinkles and What’s Sewing On papers before adding the sweet little scene!


Karin created a special birthday card using pretty botanical dies cut with gold metallic cardstock. I love the grid watercolor grid design; it looks so sophisticated.


Perfect for kids of all ages, Samantha‘s “have a wild birthday” card features Toucan Do It! She stenciled tropical leaves on the background, then gave it some party flair with balloons and party hats!


Franci‘s card is so pretty! She used Wheely Great Day and kept the design sweet and simple! How adorable it the smiley face on the ticket?


Catherine created a birthday card that is perfect for a quilt loving friend! I love how she created “quilt blocks” with What’s Sewing On paper, and then added all the adorable Sew Very Mice critters! The floss wrapped spools are a brilliant detail!

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!
