Design Team Inspiration


Shades of purple are perfect for Christy‘s batty scene featuring Fangtastic Friends! She even stenciled the moon from Nighttime Sky with pale purple!


Mimi also used Nighttime Sky Stencil to create an eerie scene for the Wild Wolves! She mixed warm and cool grays to color the images and ink the Spooky Forest Backdrop!


Karin‘s unique design uses neutrals with blue to send love! She combined Giant Outlined Love Ya with Radiant Heart Backdrop and Winter Birds! She found her sentiment in Treat Cart Sentiment Add-On.


Yellow is such a cheerful color and Samantha used it with adorable images from Hive Five and Fox Costumes Before ‘n Afters! She stenciled lots of warm yellow shades with the Corner Rainbow Stencil.


Joyce chose shades of pink to make a “very sweet holiday” card! She used Candy Cane Background Stencils to create an all-over pattern. Then she added Cute Candy Canes with a sweet pink bow.


Samantha used Watercolor Wishes and Rainbow Ever After papers in subtle purple shades to determine her monochromatic scheme. She combined Giant Let it Snow with Snowball Fight critters, then framed the fun with a Snow Flurries Backdrop.


Blue is so pretty for a winter card! Catherine used Winter Birds with Magic Iris Holly Wreath Add-On to make a fun shaker design. Her square shaped card is styled with Stitched Scalloped Square Frames and a square panel cut with Stitched Windy Backdrop. She finished the card by layering a white Scripty Joy on a blue Scripty Joy Outline Add-On.

We will have more Design Team inspiration for the Monochromatic challenge over the next 2 weeks! Be sure to come back tomorrow when we’ll announce our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 182 – Sightseeing!

Design Team Inspiration


Karin has great memories of a vacation in Costa Rica! She would love to return to see the wildlife, beaches and rainforests once more! Her window design is filled with critters from Toucan Do It, I Like Naps and Toadally Awesome. She created the rainforest scene with A Bug Deal leaves and branches and also Palm Trees and Happy Hibiscus.


Christy dreams of a trip to France! After hand-drawing an Eiffel Tower (so amazing), she filled a scene with images from Bicycle Built for You, Apple-solutely Awesome, Fly High, Treat Cart Add-On: Coffee and Tea-rrific Day!


The desert is the destination of choice for Samantha, so she used Critters in the Desert to create a fun design! I love the clever snapshot she included with Selfie Frames and Tiny Friends!


Franci used the iconic Lucky Cat from My Lucky Charm to represent her desire to visit Japan! She made the simple design with stenciled birch trees in the background!


Bon voyage! Adventure awaits on a cruise depicted in Catherine‘s tropical card! As always, she used some clever swaps to create the cruise ship. The bat wings from Woodland Critter Huggers Bat Add-On became the bow of the ship, while she used dies from Build-A-House and Build-A-Barn to cut windows for the upper decks. She used Palm Trees, Ocean Wave Borders and Sandy Beach Accents for the tropical locale, then she added luggage and a sentiment from Car Critters: Road Trip, a mouse from You Autumn Know and a hat from Special Delivery.


Narwhals from Critters in the Arctic and Mermaid for You represent Joyce‘s desire to visit Norway! Her charming card also features Just Stitching Hearts and the Bubbles Stencil.


Samantha is looking forward to a road trip to see more states in the U.S. with her family! And what better way to show that than to create a card with Car Critters, On the Road and Stitched Hillside Borders! The balloon and sentiment are from Party Animal.


Mimi‘s brilliant card shows us a fun photographic safari, the ultimate sightseeing trip! She laid the foundation with Desert Canyon Backdrop and a fun watering hole. Then she added critters from Wild for You, and Year Four along with Bicycle Built for You, Dad + Me, Ocean Shell-fie and Kanga-rrific Add-On. I love how she created binoculars using the glasses from Little Woodland Library.

We will have more Design Team inspiration for the Sightseeing challenge over the next 2 weeks! Be sure to come back tomorrow when we’ll announce our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 181 – Awesome Autumn!

Design Team Inspiration


Raise your hand if you love a good corn maze adventure! Mimi captured this fun Fall staple on a Platform Pop-Up card with multiple layers of cornstalks from Happy Harvest! The critters enjoying the maze are from Treat Cart and there are mini cornstalks, corn, hay, pumpkins and the wooden sign from Hay There, Hayrides.


Mimi also used Platform Pop-Up Picket Fence Wrap Around and the banner from Fangtastic Friends Add-On for the “a-maizing” sign!


Franci created this fabulous, mostly die cut card using Spooky Forest Backdrop and Spooky Fence Border. She found more spooky ghosts in Build-A-House Halloween Add-On. She stamped cute faces from Let’s Roll on the headstones and finished with a sentiment from Costume Party.


Karin created a lovely card with Fall Leaves Background Stencils in gorgeous Fall colors! It’s a perfect backdrop for the Thanks a Bushel apples and cute Let’s Go Nuts squirrel. She stamped the sentiment from Hay There, Hayrides on a banner from the Treat Cart Sentiment Add-On coordinating dies.



Catherine‘s Halloween shaker card is so fun! She filled Build-A-Gumball Machine with colorful mints from How You Bean? Mint Add-On and glitter. Then she created another shaker for the background with Spiderweb Backdrop adding spiders from Cute Cobweb. The mice wearing hats from Holiday Party Animal are from Merry Mice and Sew Very Mice.

She finished the card with cheery paper from Pint-Sized Patterns Summertime and die cut mints from Peppermint Border.


Cozying up with a good book on chilly day is a favorite pastime for many of us! Joyce created a lovely bookmark by combining Book Collection, Stitched Bookmark and Falling Leaves paper. She added the saying with Violet’s ABCs.


Samantha‘s Halloween card is filled with happy color and cute critters! The Wood You Be Mine? beavers pair perfectly with Purrfectly Wicked and Fangtastic Friends! She added cool detail with Scalloped Rectangle Stackables and Just Stitching Double Rectangles.


Oh goodness, Christy‘s card featuring Treat Cart Add-On: Coffee is just the cutest! All the cute woodland critters of Little Woodland Library are gathered around the Tea-rrific Day tree stump enjoying an Autumn day! She assembled her scene on a Stitched Rounded Rectangle layered over pretty Falling Leaves papers.


Samantha‘s design is full of Autumn beauty with an ink-blended background! She colored the leaves from You Autumn Know in gorgeous warm colors and arranged her scene with Let’s Go Nuts squirrels on branches from A Bug Deal.


We will have more Design Team inspiration for the Awesome Autumn challenge over the next 3 weeks! Be sure to come back tomorrow when we’ll announce our Featured Fawnatics and random raffle winner for Challenge 180 – Woodland Wonder!
