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!

Design Team Inspiration


Christy used new Summer 2024 dies to create an incredible desert-scape! The Cactus Hillside Border has everything to build a great scene. Christy layered the desert panel on a Honeycomb Backdrop and finished her card with a birthday sentiment!


Franci‘s thank you card has fun farmer’s market vibes. She combined Stitched Garden Veggies, Stitched Root Veggies and Harvest Crate!


To create this whimsical design Samantha combined Happy Mushrooms with Stitched Ripple Backdrop, Scripty Hello and Scalloped Rectangle Stackables! So sweet!


Mimi‘s card is so bright and summery! She started with a Sunburst Backdrop, and a die cut greeting from Platform Pop-Up. Then she layered Flamingo Floatie with a Magic Iris Tropical Leaves Add-On as the feature. She got really creative and used the Build-A-Drink straw for the flamingo legs.


Karin‘s design is so stunning in its simplicity! After inking the background in deep, rich blue, she layered on Lovely Lily of the Valley and Scripty For You! Then she added this panel to a Fancy Scalloped Rectangle!


Joyce‘s Stitched Root Veggies carrots are so adorable on a gingham Fruit Salad backdrop! She framed them with Just Stitching Heart, then added hearts from Heart Garden Border and a sentiment from Carrot ‘Bout You!


Samantha was also thinking about summer, featuring Flamingo Floatie on a tall slimline card! She created the scene with Stitched Wave Borders, Hammock and Trees, and Stitched Hillside Borders. She spelled her punny greeting in Henry’s ABCs!


Catherine‘s brilliant design is inspired by a pineapple whip from Disneyland! She combined the new Froyo Friend with Playful Pineapple, then she added sunglasses (altered to fit) from Woodland Critter Huggers Summer Add-On. She created a fun Micky Mouse look on Quinn’s ABCs letters and added a not-so-hidden Mickey on the cup using Circle Stackables. She stamped a Simply Summer Sentiments greeting on a Stitched Sentiment Banner and layered everything on a Sunburst Backdrop.

We will have more Design Team inspiration for the Dies Only 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 172 – Inspired By!

Design Team Inspiration


Samantha C was inspired by this Sometimes Life is Prickly card by Mindy!


Samantha swapped out the porcupine for the Party Animal bear and chose the ice cream cones from Simply Celebrate Summer to make it her own!


Mimi found her inspiration in this veggie themed card that Jenn designed for Create with Us!


Mimi used the Veggie Happy mice to create a fun gardening scene with Stitched Garden Veggies and Stitched Root Veggies like Jenn’s card. She added Little Farm Fence Border and Stitched Wavy Backdrop: Landscape to her scene.


Karin was inspired by a new year card created by Samantha Mann!


Karin took the design inspiration from Samantha to create an elegant wedding card! Karin’s card features Happy Couples, Scripty Congrats, Henry’s Build-A-Sentiment: Spring, Mini Snowflakes and Let It Shine Starry Skies 6×6 paper.


Christy‘s son works road construction, so Catherine‘s clever design was perfect inspiration for a special card!


Christy stayed pretty faithful to Catherine’s original design while adding a few clever details to personalize her card. She also changed the sentiment, spelling out part of it in Finley’s ABCs. The scene came together with Hay There Hayrides, Rub-A-Dub-Dub, Beary Rainy Day and On the Road.


Franci was charmed by Chari‘s sweet design with Heart Garden Border and So Dam Much!


Franci made this card her own by using pretty patterned papers with a sweet sentiment from Butterfly Kisses.


Joyce loved Mimi‘s bubble bath design combining Rub-A-Dub-Dub with some cute mice!


Joyce used mice from Dandy Day and Virtual Friends! She used the cape from Happy Howloween for the towels hanging on the Purrfectly Wicked shelf.


Catherine was inspired to use Giant You Are #1 by Caly‘s fun Tiny Sports Friends card!


Rather than use the tiny friend’s soccer theme, Catherine created a boxing ring for the Kanga-rrific kangaroos! She used bubbles from Elephant Parade and Bubbles of Joy to create the boxing gloves. Just like Caly, she included the trophy from All-Star. In the background she stenciled with Sunray Background Stencil.


Samantha M was inspired by Jenn‘s glittery Quinn’s ABCs card design with lots of inky techniques!


Samantha created a summery design by inking a sunny, ocean background. Then she inked another panel to cut out the Quinn’s ABCs letters, adding lots of chunky glitter!

We will have more Inspired By challenge Design Team inspiration 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 171 – Bingo!
