Mimi created a very fun and whimsical interactive card to inspire you today! She gave the Stitched Happy Heart a fun interactive element with Waving Pull-Tab Starter Set!


Mimi started with the Sunburst Backdrop, inking it with Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide Ink and splattering with white ink. Then she assembled the waving pull-tab mechanism (altering it to make it fit the large heart) to give the heart flapping “wings”! She found the perfect wings in Tiny Gift Box Unicorn and Horse Add-On.


She die-cut the Stitched Happy Heart from Watercolor Wishes 12 x 12 Lucky Penny paper and inked the edges with Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide Ink. Instead of using the larger smiley face in the heart set, Mimi used dies from Tiny Gift Box Unicorn and Horse Add-On and Tiny Gift Box Bee Add-On for the eyes, cheeks and smile. She also added the scarf from Woodland Critter Huggers Summer Add-On for more character fun!


Then Mimi added the cute arms from Stitched Happy Heart to hold all the cute love letters! She added Happy Mail Foiled Washi to white cardstock, then cut out the individual envelopes to fill up the arms! To finish her card, she added a sentiment from Simply Celebrate Hearts.


Thank you for this adorable and totally clever inspiration Mimi!

Hey friends, it’s Christy here with another card for our Dies Only Challenge! For this card I wanted to use the little bees from the Meadow Backdrop: Portrait. I die cut the bodies out of Sticky Note Cardstock, the face and stripe pieces from Storm Cloud, and the wings from Pearlescent Vellum. I added a little Mustard Seed Distress Oxide Ink to the yellow parts and Black Soot to the dark gray.


For the background, I created a Sticky Note A2 card base and blended Distress Oxide Inks directly on the front, using Squeezed Lemonade, Mustard Seed, Fossilized Amber, and Vintage Photo. To add a bit more interest, I incorporated the Honeycomb Stencil into the background here and there. I also did some splatter with the Mustard Seed and some Gansai Tambi Starry Colors in the copper shade.


I did another small panel using the same cardstock and ink without the splatters and die cut the Scripty Sweet from that. Then I white heat embossed a sentiment onto Storm Cloud Cardstock using the Hive Five stamp set and glued everything to the card front with liquid glue. I also finished off the inside of the card, stamping in Sunflower Ink.


To see how this card came together, you can check out the video tutorial on my YouTube channel, Christy Gets Crafty. And don’t forget to play along with our Dies Only Challenge! We can’t wait to see what you create!

Thanks for sharing this “sweet” inspiration, Christy!

Samantha finishes out our colorful inspiration for this challenge with an amazing, eye-catching design!


First, she inked the background, the Meadow Backdrop: Portrait and the raindrops using Distress Oxide ink in Chipped Sapphire, Wilted Violet and Worn Lipstick. Then she colored the Beary Rainy Day images to highlight the inspiration palette. I love the yellow on the bears and frog! She included some flowers from You Goat This and a white embossed sentiment from How You Bean. Happy Spring!
