Design Team Inspiration


Mimi was inspired by the tropical images to create a fun Toucan Do It design! She included Tropical Leaves Backdrop, Tropical Vine Borders and Birch Tree Stencils!


Samantha‘s gorgeous card features Gleeful Gardens! She also included flowers from Fairy Friends and Hive Five. Her lovely wreath design is so creative! She added texture by stenciling with Fall Leaves Background Stencils and white stencil paste. She added color with Distress Inks in Seedless Preserves, Milled Lavender and Lost Shadow.


Karin sends love with Giant XOXO! She added sweet floral design with Spring Blossoms Background Stencils and tiny flowers and vines from Magic Iris Birdhouse Add-On.


Catherine‘s adorable flower cart features Garden Before ‘n Afters. She included mice from Sew Very Mice, Berry Special and A Creature was Stirring. To create the flower cart she used the roof from Scalloped Treat Box Beach House Add-On as the awning. She added the barn door from Build-A-Barn to add detail to the cart. The cart wheel is a combination of Circle Stackables and the coordinating bicycle die from Bicycle Built for You.


Samantha created a tropical environment for our One in a Chameleon critter! She combined Tropical Leaves Background Stencils with Magic Iris Tropical Leaves Add-On! The beautiful warm colors are a fun change from the typical tropical greens and blues!


Franci’s Gleeful Gardens design is so sweet! She used Flower Market paper in the background while creating her scene on the upper third of the card!


Joyce‘s birthday card features Giant Happy Birthday to You on a Gotta Have Gingham background. She added sweet daisy accents from the new Magic Iris Beehive Add-On.


Christy crafted a beautiful tropical scene by combining Toucan Do It, Critters in the Jungle, A Bug Deal and Wild for You! She created the look of a jungle in the background by stenciling with the Birch Tree Stencils.


Jenn‘s thank you card is simply beautiful! She water colored the Spring Flowers Backdrop, adding a wash of color to the background as well. Then she layered Giant Thank You over the top!

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 149 – Dies Only tomorrow!

Today we have a special treat for you! Both of our wonderful Samanthas have Inspired by a Book, Movie or Song ideas for you!


Samantha Casey created a fun take on Where’s Waldo with our Tiny Friends sets! She framed all the people with a Stitched Scalloped Square Frame. I love how she framed “Waldo” with the magnifying glass from Hey Lady!


Samantha Mann was inspired by the Disney movie, Pocahontas! She says her favorite characters are Meeko and Flit. She used raccoons from Holiday Party Animal and Critter Concert for Meeko, and the cute hummingbird from Gleeful Gardens stars as Flit. The bathtub from Rub-A-Dub-Dub stands in for the canoe while Samantha customized one of the mermaids from Mermaid for You as Pocohontas. I love her beautiful background, inked blended perfectly then die cut with Peekaboo Backdrop!

So, you still have plenty of time to join us for this challenge! We can’t wait to see what inspires you and how you will show us!

Big thanks to our wonderful Samanthas! Your creativity is always so amazing!

Samantha’s Cute “Snail Mail” Scene

We hope you enjoy today’s inspiration and join us for the Create a Scene challenge! We can’t wait to see your creativity! This challenge will be open until Sunday, May 1 at 11:59PM ET. 

Samantha‘s brilliant design shows that a fabulous scene doesn’t have to fill the card!

Samantha masked off a section at the top of the card to do some ink blending and define the scene. She used Distress Oxide ink in Picked Raspberry, Abandoned Coral and Tattered Rose add some inky splatters as well.

She colored the grass and snails from Gleeful Gardens and the cute little clouds from Smooth Sailing with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers before fussy cutting and arranging them on the card.

Samantha white embossing the cute sentiment from Gleeful Gardens on Black Licorice cardstock. Then she fussy cut it out before popping it up on foam squares along with another cute little snail!

Thanks so much Samantha, this card is so sweet!
