Design Team Inspiration


Samantha knows we love a punny sentiment and this one from Year Thirteen is so much fun! Samantha also used images from Let’s Roll and Really High Five. All the happy images look great with the brick background stenciled with Distress Oxide Inks in Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon and Cracked Pistachio.


What could be more festive for a birthday than sparkly, hot-foiled fireworks! Catherine built a fun party scene on a Platform Pop-Up with the Platform Pop-Up Cloud Wrap Around. She die-cut the clouds from Rainbow Ever After paper and another from vellum to create a pretty layered look. And she also used Cake Slice Box to make the sprinkle covered birthday cake. Then she added more cuteness with a mouse from Dandy Day and the ladder from Apple-solutely Awesome. The sentiment combines Henry’s Build-A-Sentiment: Spring with a greeting from Elphie Selfie.


Karin‘s beautifully simple design features our new Lovely Lily of the Valley Lawn Cuts sets. She arranged the flowers on a Scalloped Slimline with Hearts: Portrait base, then she added a Henry’s Build-A-Sentiment: Spring greeting on an Everyday Sentiment Banner.


These cute porcupines are celebrating in style in Christy‘s lovely birthday scene! She set a fancy table with goodies from Tea-rrific Day and Tea-rrific Day Add-On for this sweet birthday party!


These farm critters are ready to someone a very happy birthday! Joyce created her cute farm-inspired card with Simply Celebrate More Critters, All the Party Hats, All the Speech Bubbles and Little Farm Fence Border. For the background she used Fruit Salad paper and Apricot cardstock.


Franci‘s Veggie Happy card is perfect for all of your friends and family who love to garden! She arranged her images on a simple watercolor background and added a birthday greeting from Party Animal!



Mimi‘s interactive pull-tab card is the perfect way to say, “happy birthday to roo”! She used both Kanga-rrific and Kanga-rrific Add-On, with All the Party Hats and balloons from Bicycle Built for You. I love how she hid the little joey and balloons inside the Holiday Helpers box. They pop-up with the help of Let’s Toast Pull-Tab Add-On.


The whole Hay There herd is sending happy birthday wishes on Samantha‘s whimsical card! She also used Hay There, Hayrides and Birthday Before ‘n Afters to complete her “on the farm” scene! She used Just Stitching Double Rectangles on her background panel, adding color with Distress Oxide inks in Abandoned Coral, Scattered Straw and Wilted Violet. Then she added “clouds” from Meadow Backdrop: Portrait.

We will have more All Things Birthday 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 167 –Spring Fling!

Now let’s see how our Design Team was inspired to create All Things Birthday!

Mimi created the most amazing birthday gift wrap in happy colors! She added fun images from Wild for You, Year Four, RAWRSOME, Simply Celebrate Summer and Offset Sayings: Birthday! She also included a cut bow in Holographic cardstock from Put a Bow on It, and a gift tag made with an ice cream cone from I Scream You Scream!

Catherine created a whole party with a “strawberry shortcake” theme! For the clever shaker invitation, she used Outside In Stitched Strawberry, Stitched Strawberry Frame and Strawberry Patch to carry the theme. She created “Strawberry Shortcake” with Bicycle Built for You, Berry Special and Special Delivery. There’s also “let’s party” from Party Animal along with Flirty Frames, and “date” and “address” from Plan On It and Plan On It: Appointments.

For the fantastic party decor, Catherine used more strawberry die sets along with Milk Carton, Cake Slice Box and Stitched Scalloped Cupcake Wrapper!

Aparrotly, Franci used our new Year Twelve set to feature on her adorable birthday card! An ink blended Snowy Backdrop makes for a cheery layer of color on this clean and simple design!

Joyce created the sweetest birthday card featuring You Goat This! The mini slimline card is the perfect size for this happy little party!

Samantha‘s birthday card is “on point” with the adorable cactus from Year Ten! She added lots of style to her simple design with ink blending and Lots of Hearts stenciling!

Jessica‘s legendary birthday card combines Lovable Legends with Giant Happy Birthday to You! This design is perfect for all those men on your birthday card list!

This charming card by Karin is simply adorable! She used Outside In Stitched Balloon Stackables, Butterfly Kisses and a birthday greeting from Special Delivery Add-On.

It’s birthday party time in the aquarium! Samantha created this cute card using Fintastic Friends, Party Animal and Virtual Friends Add-On. I love how she added the Ocean Wave Border and Outside In Stitched Thought Bubbles to enhance the underwater theme!

Christy‘s gorgeous card wishes a berry happy birthday with a cute Berry Special scene! The pretty patterned papers in the background are from Flower Market!

Jenn got creative and made a set of cards to give as a gift! They are beautifully made using Clover Background Stencils and Giant Thank You! They will be great for sending a special thank you for all the birthday gifts!
