Hearts are a perfect theme for celebrating the birthday of a special someone! Jessica brilliantly combined Scent with Love, Lots of Hearts Background Stencils and Giant Happy Birthday to You to create an amazing birthday card!

Franci chose Scootin’ By to create an adorable card to celebrate a birthday or any happy day! She used our new Mini Slimline Stackables dies to make her card “fun-sized”!

Caly also used the Mini Slimline Stackables dies, this time to make the perfect backdrop for the Really High Five critters! She added some stenciled clouds and a fun birthday sentiment!

Swan Soirée and Bayou Backdrop are the perfect choice to welcome a new baby! Samantha made this card special with pretty glitter cardstock!

Joyce combined Giant Happy Birthday to You with Critter Concert to send a birthday greeting! The triple layered sentiment is a standout! She cleverly used Watercolor Wishes Rainbow paper to easily create a beautiful blue sky!

Karin‘s beautiful card features Unicorn Picnic! She combined it with Scripty Congrats to create a card that is perfect for lots of happy occasions!

Christy‘s birthday card is just so charming! The little scene fits perfectly on Mini Slimline Stackables and features Furry and Bright and a “pawsome” greeting from Say What? Pets! She filled in the scene with the log from Toadally Awesome and birthday images from Party Animal and Elphie Selfie!

Samantha created a party-ready card! She combined the taco from Year Nine with the avocado from Let’s Toast with party hats and balloons from Party Animal! She added the sentiment on a Fancy Wavy Banner and created a stenciled backdrop with Brick Stencil!

Jenn‘s fantastic birthday card features a gathering of our special birthday gift critters! It includes our current birthday gift, Party Pig! She stenciled confetti in the background and included a Big Scripty Words greeting combined with a sentiment from Purrfectly Wicked!

Samantha’s Avocado Pun Inspired Card

We are loving the yummy projects filling the Fun with Food gallery! This challenge will be open until Sunday August 1 at 11:59PM ET. We can’t wait to see how you are inspired by this theme!

Hi friends, it’s Samantha! I had so many avocado puns floating around in my head, so I knew I had to make an avocado themed card!

I used the cute avocado and toaster images from Let’s Toast to feature on my card! They were colored in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and then fussy cut out. I heat embossed the custom, punny phrase with my all time, long time, favorite stamp set Harold’s ABCs! To add the sentiment I used a banner die cut from Black Licorice Cardstock with the Fancy Wavy Banners! I just LOVE the dimension that banner brings to the card!

For the background, I used the Simple Stripes: Diagonal to die cut out from white cardstock. Then I used Distress Oxide Inks in Blueprint Sketch and Cracked Pistachio on every other stripe! For the other stripes, I used Narwhal ink to add some soft, light gray to the edges! Then I splattered water on top of it all. Those bold stripes are my FAVORITE! I love the different techniques you can do with them, and how they make your images pop!

Thanks so much for sharing your punny card with us today, Samantha! I love it!

Looking forward to being inspired by your Fun with Food challenge entries! Happy Crafting!

We are so happy to welcome Leontine van Ganswijk-Smit as the Guest Designer for this challenge! She has been catching our eye with her innovative and beautiful challenge entries and we know she will inspire you as well! You can check out her creativity at her blog: Little Lovely Crafts and at her Instagram account: @little_lovely_crafts

The idea for Leontine‘s super cute Fun with Food inspiration is our Screen Time girl wondering what yummy treats might be inside the picnic basket! She combined lots of sets with cute images of sweet desserts including Unicorn Picnic, Crazy Antics and Year Seven! She used Simple Puffy Clouds for the thought bubbles along with the small bubbles from You Are Sublime to link those thoughts together on the slimline design!

Now let’s see how the Fun with Food theme inspired our amazing Design Team!

Franci‘s sweet design features a classic food-themed set from 2011, Love ‘n Breakfast! Her details add so much fun to this adorable card and I love how she added the polka dots to the kraft cardstock using a white gel pen!

This happy little Yeti or Not pair are enjoying frozen treats in the quaint village that Karin created using Village Shops!

Joyce created a long slimline picnic scene using Crazy Antics! She filled the sky with fluffy clouds using the Cloudy Stencil and framed the scene with a Hello Sunshine Remix pattern!

Samantha C combined Be Hap-Pea with Birthday Before ‘n Afters to create this charming birthday card! She made it extra special using Shimmer cardstock and fun die sets to set the scene; Stitched Garden Border, Meadow Borders and Itsy Bitsy Polka Dot Backdrop!

Christy‘s super cute circle window card features a fun little picnic with the Crazy Antics mice! She used cheery Hello Sunshine Remix 6×6 papers to bump up the happy color palette!

Jessica created a magical Unicorn Picnic scene with lots of sparkle! She started by inking a Puffy Cloud Backdrop: Portrait in pretty blue then adding Chunky Glitter and Pixie Dust Sparkle clouds!

Samantha M designed a fun taco bar with the cute Year Nine set! She added all the fixin’s for tacos using Let’s Toast, Be Hap-pea, Thankful Mice and Make Lemonade!

Caly‘s adorable interactive pop-up card features all the fun breakfast foods from Let’s Toast! She used the Let’s Toast Pull-Tab Add-On to make the toast pop up!

Jenn‘s happy summer design features our new Summer sets, Crazy Antics and All the Clouds! She added lots of fun with the cool ink-smooshed backgrounds and Prisma Glitter on the Finley’s ABCs!

We will share Design Team inspiration for you over the next 2 weeks and we’ll announce our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 79 tomorrow!
