It’s the last weekend for the Critters & Hobbies challenge and Mimi has the cutest inspiration for you! Team Porcupine and Team Skunk are battling for a win on the soccer pitch in her super clever card!


These cute critters are enjoying their sporty hobby playing soccer (football). Team Skunk images are from Scent with Love and Scent with Love Add-On. And their opponents are from Porcu-pine for You and Porcu-pine for You Add-On! And the adorable fans from Simply Celebrate More Critters are waving flags from Tiny Sports Friends.


To create the soccer field, Mimi masked the lines, then blended on Lucky Clover Distress Oxide ink. She made the soccer goal with Honeycomb Backdrop and Shadow Box Add-On Fireplace Add-On for the frame. And finally, she used All Star for the ball and the punny sentiment!

Thank you so much for this special inspiration, Mimi! I love it!

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!


We will have more Design Team inspiration for the Feature a Stencil 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 173 – Dies Only!

Mimi‘s You Are the Greatest of All Time sentiment stars in her brilliant football themed card!

Mimi created a fun football field using Simple Stripes: Portrait Lawn Cuts! She inked them with Distress Oxide in Lucky Clover, Mowed Lawn and Vintage Photo. She used a gel pen to add the yard lines. And the adorable football player is our astronaut from Out of This World! Mimi used a stamp from You’re Claw-some to create the faceguard on the helmet. The goal post is the sign from Open Me and of course the football is from All Star!

The amazing sentiment is a combination of Henry’s ABCs, cut from gold metallic cardstock and You Goat This!

Thank you so much for sharing this brilliant inspiration, Mimi!
