Design Team Inspiration

Apple picking and fresh cider are favorites of Fall! Samantha‘s card combines Apple-solutely Awesome and Hay There Hayrides with our Den Sweet Den bears to bring this fun activity to life!

Mimi “carved out time” to create the cutest pumpkin carving scene ever! She started with Pumpkin House, then she added lots of busy mice from Merry Mice, Sew Very Mice, Really High Five and Bubbles of Joy. The eyes for the jack o’ lantern are the plain hat from All the Hats, and the mouth is a selectively stamped cereal bowl from Cerealsly Awesome, so clever! Mimi borrowed tools from Pick of the Patch and the pencil from Just Add Glitter.

A visit to the pumpkin patch is another favorite Awesome Autumn activity and Christy captured the fun with Hay There, Hayrides! She added Stitched Hillside Borders and trees from Happy Village along with the barn from the original Hay There!

Samantha‘s lovely design celebrates the changing colors of the trees as Autumn arrives! She started with the tree from Wild Wolves then added Puffy Cloud Borders, colorfully stenciled with Fall Leaves Background Stencils for the treetops. And then she added more color with leaves and mice from You Autumn Know!

Our Booyah ghosties look so adorable in Franci‘s fun Halloween design! She added pretty pastel clouds with Nighttime Sky Stencil. Then she used Stitched Borders to finish the panel before layering it on a Spiffier Speckles covered card base.

The Let’s Go Nuts squirrels have taken over the Tree House, gathering acorns and raking leaves in Joyce‘s awesome and adorable Autumn scene!

Catherine‘s creative card highlights another fun Fall activity! By combining Hay There Hayrides with Slide on Over Maze she created a corn maze!

Karin‘s sweet, clean and simple design sends wishes for a Happy Halloween with the cute Fangtastic Friends! I love how she inked a portion of the card, then splattered it with gold paint. It’s a subtle and beautiful detail!

Look for more Design Team inspiration right here over the next 2 WEEKS and come back tomorrow when we’ll announce our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 156 – Color Inspiration!

Design Team Inspiration

For a lot of us, fall means weekend football games! Samantha captured the fun of being in the stands with her adorable card! She started with Watercolor Wishes Rainbow paper to create the warm backdrop, then she brought in some Stadium Seating. It wouldn’t be a high school or college football game without a band, so she added Critter Concert to entertain the crowd! She also used critters from Butterfly Kisses, Let’s Go Nuts and Virtual Friends Add-On. Celebrate Border is the simply perfect sentiment!

Joyce‘s lovely tea party celebrates all the colors of falling leaves! She combined Tea-rrific Day and Tea-rrific Day Add-On for all the party details and guests. Then she added the falling leaves from Jump for Joy! She created a pretty background by stenciling the Birch Trees.

Christy‘s beautiful design celebrates fall with Apple-solutely Awesome! She created this sweet scene on a Meadow Backdrop: Portrait with a pretty stenciled sky!

Mimi gave her Awesome Autumn card a fun farm vibe using Woodgrain cardstock and Simple Stripes: Landscape. She used Pumpkin Wagon and Deck the Car Lawn Cuts sets to add the “truck and trailer” to haul all the pumpkins. She got really clever and dressed the Ugly and Bright critters in overalls from Little Bundle! And then she added Giant Happy Fall and sunflowers from Magic Iris Fall Leaves Add-On and leafy tendrils from Pumpkin House.

Franci chose Forest Feast for her sweet celebration of fall! She used Birch Tree Stencils to add warm color and a fun backdrop!

Karin‘s card is so beautiful with sweet and whimsical details! She created the background with Fall Leaves Background Stencils that she layered on a Fancy Scalloped Rectangle. Then she added Giant XOXO in gold metallic cardstock. The final cute details are the squirrel from Let’s Go Nuts and tiny pumpkins from Spooky Village.

These two Ugly and Bright critters are enjoying a hike through the woods to see all the falling leaves! Catherine created this Awesome Autumn scene with trees from Joy to the Woods, stenciled Birch Trees and a Grassy Hillside Border. The leaves are from Let’s Go Nuts and the sentiment is found in Forest Feast. She created the backpacks from the sushi roll in Let’s Roll, the hat is from Dad + Me and the scarf and beanie are from Winter Sparrows!

The Let’s Go Nuts squirrels are celebrating the falling leaves in Samantha‘s adorable card scene! She also added the cute squirrels from Happy Hugs on the branches from A Bug Deal. She colored the leaves from You Autumn Know in all the gorgeous colors of fall!

Jenn‘s lovely card captures Awesome Autumn in the beautiful colors of the Stitched Leaves and the cute Big Acorn! The used Giant Thank You that is perfect for this season of thankfulness!

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 132 – Color Inspiration tomorrow! Now it’s time to craft up some Autumn awesomeness!
