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!

Now we have a super awesome announcement! We are so excited to welcome Grace Camou to our Design Team! Her amazing cards and crafty projects have been inspiring and impressing us for a while and we are so happy to have her on the team! To learn more about Grace and the rest of our wonderful designers check out the Design Team Page!

Grace created an amazing and Toadally Awesome scene with a super fun twist! She altered the Let’s Toast Pull Tab Add-On to add 2 extra tabs to give all 3 of her cute critters movement!

When the tab is pulled, 2 frogs jump down while the one in the middle pops up! This beautiful scene is all sorts of gorgeous in pretty pastel colors!

Here’s a quick peek at the modifications that Grace used to create her brilliant interactive card!

And now let’s introduce our Guest Designer for this challenge! We are so happy to have Ildi Imrefalvi share her amazing creativity with us! You will find her on Instagram as hellopilda, give her a follow, you will be inspired!

Ildi created a super cute and festive birthday card with our Party Animal critters and their friend from Holiday Party Animal! How cute are those Pick of the Patch squirrels holding the Celebrate Border!

Ildi added fun detail to her fabulous card with a stamped a backdrop using a sentiment from our Let’s Play set! The little sailboat is from Rub-A-Dub-Dub and the pile of presents are found in our Baaah Humbug and Christmas Dreams sets.

Now let’s see what our amazing Design Team has made created to inspire us!

Jessica‘s beautiful card features Elphie Selfie and Selfie Frames on a sweet Polka Heart Backdrop! She created the custom sentiment by combining the greeting in Elphie Selfie with one from Sweet Friends!

Joyce made a sunshine-y card with the Jump for Joy critters in a whimsical scene that includes Sweet Friends treats and the Thanks a Latte coffee mug!

Samantha C gathered a happy group of elephants from Elphie Selfie and Wild for You to celebrate the cute little mouse’s birthday! She added party fun to her adorable card using Itsy Bitsy Polka Dot Backdrop and Bunting Borders!

I love how Christy combined old and new sets to create this brilliant “down under” inspired card! The koala is brand new from our I Love You(calyptus) mini set and she set the scene using stamps from Critters Down Under!

Karin‘s charming card starts with Quilted Backdrop and a Stitched Scalloped Rectangle Frame with a Mini Picture Frame in a cheery white on white design! It’s the perfect setting for cute Rub-A-Dub-Dub ducklings to frolic! She included a greeting from Tiny Tag Sayings that fits perfectly in the mini frame!

Say What? Christmas Critters sure are a bunch of happy little critters on Franci‘s brilliant card! The fun greetings and speech bubbles are included in this fun set too! I love how she arranged these little cuties!

Samantha‘s underwater birthday scene is so amazing! It features You Are Sublime with a sentiment from Fintastic Friends and party hats and balloon from Party Animal!

The party fun continues on the inside with our Critters in the Sea whale popped up using Everyday Pop-Ups dies! Ocean Wave Borders add ocean detail to the top of the scene!

Jenn‘s Critter Concert critters are creating a symphony of rainbow color for her watercolor gem! Little Music Notes and Thank You Border round out this fabulous card design! Be sure to check out Jenn’s updated class schedule to find where she will be teaching Lawn Fawn cardmaking classes this Spring!
