We have invited Mona Toth to join us as our Guest Designer for this challenge! Her bright and cheerful designs are favorites with cardmakers on Instagram and we knew she would make something amazing for this challenge!

Mona created a totally brilliant infinity style party invitation! Each time the card is unfolded it opens to another fabulous scene with more to the invitation!

Mona embellished her infinity card with many underwater classics like Mermaid for You, You are Sublime, Octopi my Heart and So Jelly along with Quinn’s Capital ABCs dies.

Infinity card designs can be a little tricky to make so Mona made a video tutorial to show you how to create one! You can check it out at her YouTube channel.

Now let’s check out the fabulous Perfect for Parties projects by our amazing Design Team!

Grace‘s adorable picnic party decor is perfect for celebrating summer! She customized the Cake Slice Box with a mix of green and red patterned papers to create the fun watermelon treat boxes! Then she used a much loved older mini set, Happy Summer to make watermelon cupcake toppers and to decorate the Scalloped Treat Box and a sweet little note!

Christy has a new puppy to love so she made a super fun treat box for Gemma‘s new friends! She used the Milk Carton die set along with cute pups from Critters at the Dog Park and Say What? Pets! She decorated the milk carton box with elements from Scalloped Treat Box Spring House Add-On!

Samantha is celebrating her son’s graduation from 5th grade and that’s a pretty big occasion! She made these totally cool straws for the party using Outside In Stitched Cloud Stackables and Stitched Cloud Frames along with the paper airplane from Plane and Simple and a fun sentiment from Party Animal on a Fancy Wavy Banner!

Jessica created these super cute Tiny Gift Boxes for her music students to celebrate the end of year recital! The gift boxes are decorated with images from Critter Concert and Little Music Notes!

Joyce used Goodie Bag and a Stitched Gift Card Pocket to make a super adorable birthday gift bag! She used Gingham Backdrops to add some cute pattern to the box, then she filled the pocket with little bears from For You, Deer!

What is better for a summer party than yummy strawberry pie! Samantha created the perfect pie treat box using Cake Slice Box and the new new Stitched Cupcake die set!

Karin made a sweet card and gift box set for a new baby baptism party! She used the darling bunnies and greeting from Hello Baby with a Lacy Heart and Outside In Stitched Heart Stackable on the card! She added another cute bunny to the Heart Treat Box!

Franci‘s charming Tiny Gift Box Cat Add-On box would be perfect to celebrate a new kitten in the family! They would be so cute filled with candy or maybe a treat to share with a special kitty!

Samantha’s Sweet Graduation Card

The sky’s the limit is a great sentiment for a graduation! Samantha combined Plane and Simple with cute critters from Upon a Star and Hello Baby along with a little mortarboard from Smart Cookie!

To make that amazing sky, Samantha ink blended with Distress inks in Chipped Sapphire, Blueprint Sketch and Peacock Feathers then splattered with water! For a final finishing touch, she used Snowy Backdrop as a stencil to add stars to sky with white embossing paste!

Thank you so much, Samantha, for this fabulous Spectacular Skies inspiration!

The Spectacular Skies challenge will be open until Sunday June 2 at 11:59PM ET. We can’t wait to see what you create!

Christy’s Cute New Baby Card

Hey everyone, it’s Christy here with a sweet baby shower card for our What’s the Weather Challenge. One of my co-workers is about to become a first-time grandma, and she loves elephants for baby girls, so I combined a couple of sets to create her a congratulations card with that theme.

I started by stamping out the mama elephant from Wild for You, the baby elephant from Elphie Selfie, and the umbrella and rattle from Hello Baby. I colored them in Copic markers using a soft color palette of warm gray, pink, and mint. Then I trimmed them out with the matching dies.

For the background, I die cut a Stitched Circle Stackable and sponged on some distress ink using a stencil to create some pale gray clouds and a little patch of grass. I added a sentiment and a few raindrops from Hello Baby as well. I layered this onto a Fancy Scalloped Circle Stackable to give it that delicate eyelet-looking edge.

I layered some patterned papers over my card base, die cutting the largest with a Stitched Rectangle Stackable, and used the Stitched Party Banner to selectively die cut a flag end on my banner. I popped the focal panel up with foam tape for a little dimension and added some white gel pen polka dots to the rattle and umbrella as a finishing touch.

If you’d like to see how this card came together, check out the video tutorial on my YouTube channel, Christy Gets Crafty. There’s still plenty of time to enter our What’s the Weather Challenge! I can’t wait to see what you create!

Our What’s the Weather challenge will be open until Sunday, March 3 at 11:59PM ET. We hope you will join us!
Have an awesome weekend, Fawnatics friends!
Happy Crafting!
