Design Team Inspiration


Mayra was inspired by the colors to create a pair of Build-A-Cake cards with a tropical theme! She also used Build-A-Cake Add-On for the cake stand and banner cake topper. Then she combined Happy Hibiscus and Tropical Leaves to decorate the cakes.


Samantha‘s sunny summer scene perfectly combines the color inspiration! Using Tropical Backdrop and the sun from Spring Showers to set the scene then she paired On the Beach with the cute bear from Den Sweet Den.


Joyce was inspired by the image to use Build-A-Drink Bubble Tea Add-On cups! Her colorful design features Skinny Stripes stenciled straws with a Fruit Salad background.


Mimi‘s card is so charming! She placed the Capybaras in a cute picnic scene with Crazy Antics and Heart Tree. She also used beverages from Treat Cart Add-On: Smoothies ‘n Juice with a Smoothies ‘n Juice sentiment.


Franci was inspired by the image to create this fun Little Fireflies design! She inked the background with Cloudy Stencil.


Samantha‘s slimline card uses the all the inspiring colors in a fun Capybaras scene! I love how she used Be Hap-Pea to add larger citrus fruit to the scene along with balloons from Party Animal.


Karin‘s gorgeous design captures the color inspiration in a simple Swan Soirée scene! She added a Wavy Sayings sentiment on a Fancy Wavy Banner.


Christy‘s beautiful card sends a sweet message! She combined images from Mermaid for You, Ahoy Matey, Flamingo Together and Fintastic Friends in an island scene created with Riverside Backdrop: Landscape.

We will have more Design Team inspiration for the Color Inspiration challenge over the next 2 weeks! Be sure to come back tomorrow when we’ll announce our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 201 – Christmas in July!

Hey friends, it’s Christy here with another card for our Christmas in July Challenge! For this card, I wanted to bring the holidays to the sweet baby capybara from the Capybaras! Add-on. I combined him and his froggy friend with images from Capybaras!, Kanga-rrific Add-on, Joy to All, Ugly and Bright, and Baaah Humbug. I colored them with Copic markers and trimmed them out with the matching dies.


Then I made a background by cutting down a piece of Bristol with the second largest Large Stitched Rounded Rectangle Stackables. I blended on Distress Oxide Inks, using Salvaged Patina with the Cloudy Stencil for the sky, and Antique Linen and Gathered Twigs for the ground. I stamped the sentiment in the top center with black ink.


Then I trimmed down some patterned paper from the Pint-sized Patterns Summertime 6×6 pad with the largest Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables, and another piece from Favorite Flannel with the Stitched Party Banners. I layered these on a Speckled Eggshell card base, popped up the focal panel with foam tape, and then adhered my images with liquid glue. To finish things off, I added a bit of Stardust Stickles.


If you’d like to see the whole process of creating this card, you can check out the video tutorial on my YouTube channel, Christy Gets Crafty. I hope you enjoy it! We can’t wait to see what you create for our Christmas in July Challenge. Have an amazing day!

Thank you so much for sharing with us today, Christy! This card is absolutely beautiful!
