Design Team Inspiration

Mayra was inspired by Grace!

Mayra used inspiration from Grace’s “kissing booth” card from Lots of Heart Week to make a Pull ‘n Slide Surprise congratulations card! She featured the cute Tiny Gift Box Panda and Bear Add-On with glasses from Woodland Critter Huggers Graduation Add-On. The greeting is Giant Hooray and a sentiment from Little Woodland Library Friends!

Mayra also included Book Collection, the awning from Ta-Da! Diorama! Shop Add-On and the banner from Ta-Da! Diorama! Scalloped Window Add-On.

Franci found her inspiration in this Daisy Bloom Background Stencils card by Kelly!

Franci inked her Daisy Bloom stencils with Distress inks Cracked Pistachio, Squeezed Lemonade, Spiced Marmalade and Walnut Stain. Her simple birthday greeting pairs Happy Happy Happy with a speech bubble from A Birdie Told Me.

Samantha did some stitching with inspiration from Chari!

Samantha‘s card features a warm color palette with an inked Stratus Cloud Background Stencils. She stitched the Rainbow Add-On and framed it with the original Embroidery Hoop! Then she white embossed a sentiment from Rain or Shine Before ‘n Afters on a Stitched Sentiment Banner.

Joyce was inspired by a slimline Backyard Bird Feeder card by Tammy!

Like Tammy’s inspiration, Joyce also used Backyard Bird Feeder Add-On to feature both styles of bird feeders. She created her background with Stratus Cloud Background Stencils.

Samantha was inspired by an adorable birthday card by Christy!

Samantha used lots of bright, happy color for the cute Hay There critters! And the Bitsy Blooms paper in the background and colorful Oliver’s Stitched ABCs greeting add to the whimsical card design.

Mindy‘s Sunny Sunflower card gave Karin a creative spark to make her own version.

Karin used Fruit Salad petite paper for the Money Pocket; the blue color looks so pretty with the sunflowers! For her greeting she layered Scripty Love on a vellum Scripty Love Outline Add-On. And she added detail with a Lacy Rectangle.

Mimi recreated Tammy‘s clever clipboard teacher card!

Mimi layered Really Rainbow petite paper on a panel of Paper Bag cardstock for the base of the clipboard. Then she cut the flap of the Fancy Box from silver metallic cardstock for the clip. Next, she white embossed lots of cute sentiments on colorful banners and finished the card with images from Little Woodland Library and Little Woodland Library Friends.

Christy was inspired by Megan‘s Release Week card introducing Little Woodland Library Friends!

Christy set up a cute reading nook with Little Woodland Library, Little Woodland Library Friends and Simply Celebrate Hangouts. She included lots of little details from Apple-solutely Awesome, Den Sweet Den, Perfectly Wicked and Virtual Friends Add-On.

It’s so much fun how the whole library scene pops up on the Pull ‘n Slide Surprise, revealing another little scene underneath.

We will have more Design Team inspiration for the Inspired By challenge over the next 2 weeks! Be sure to come back tomorrow when we’ll announce our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 195 – BINGO!
