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!

Design Team Inspiration

It looks like most of our Design Team members are country girls at heart!


Catherine created a super fun, superhero in the city themed Platform Pop-Up card! The superhero mouse from You Autumn Know has a mask and cape from Happy Howloween. Catherine created the cityscape with Village Border, Build-A-Castle and Build-A-Barn. Then she added emergency vehicles from Village Heroes.


Joyce created a country fair scene with the new Ferris Wheel from Wheely Great Day! She added to scene with Village Shops and Happy Village, then she added lots of happy Tiny Friends!


What could be more “country” than a barnyard full of cute farm animals! Samantha combined Hay There with You Goat This to create a country themed birthday card!


Mimi‘s Apple-solutely Awesome apple-picking scene is so adorable! She included smaller trees from Tree Before ‘n Afters and layered all the trees on treetops from the Tree House set. She also added the wagon from Let’s Go Nuts and the net from Butterfly Kisses Flip-Flop, so clever.


You Goat This and All-Star combine in Samantha‘s country scene! I love the pink sunrays she inked in the background with white stencil paste clouds over the top!


Christy‘s amusement park scene is filled with sunshine and fun! She combined Wheely Great Day and Coaster Critters with some trees from Happy Village!


Franci‘s cute You Goat This scene makes me think of an alpine meadow in the Spring! I love that she created her scene in a die cut circle with Heart Garden Border, layering the cute goats on 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 146 – Color Inspiration tomorrow! We can’t wait to see which theme you will choose, city vs country!
