Catherine created brilliant Happy New Year inspiration with our new Porcu-pine for You set!


Catherine began this festive party-themed card with a hot foiled Confetti Background layered behind Let’s Celebrate Backdrop! Then she combined Party Balloons and Outside In Stitched Balloon Stackables with Spiffier Speckles paper to add more party fun! She used Henry’s 123s to add the new year on the balloons, with glittery gold sparkle cardstock as a shadow.


Then Catherine added the cute porcupines with toasting the new year with champagne glasses from Happy Wedding. And of course, she finished the card with a cute pun, spelled out with Harold’s ABCs!

Thank you so much for this fantastic inspiration, Catherine!

The Happy New Year Inspiration Board challenge is open until December 31 so there’s lots of time to enter! We can’t wait to see how you will be inspired! You can link our entries HERE.

Design Team Inspiration

Karin created a clean and simple design that is absolutely gorgeous! I love how she curved the strawberry border from Berry Special to fit the sketch shape. Her sunny sentiment is found in Window Scene: Spring!

Christy used lots of creativity to interpret the sketch! The Car Critters car stands in for the half circle element while she flipped the design to add the sentiment at the top! She also used Stitched Mountain Borders, Car Critters Christmas Add-On and Tiny Christmas.

For her beautiful interpretation of the sketch, Mimi created a glowing winter moon! She included a cute wintry scene along with the sentiment. It features Let’s Go Nuts, Winter in the Park and streetlamps from Here We Go A-Waddling. I love how she used Sandy Beach Accents to make snow drifts for the squirrels to hide their acorns.

Samantha‘s design is so charming! She used the igloo from Penguin Party as the circular element with some cute bears from Snow Much Fun! She prettied up the Home for the Holidays sentiment with trees from Yeti or Not.

Franci created a sweet Winter Skies scene that closely follows the sketch. She stenciled the moon using Nighttime Sky Stencil.

Samantha‘s card is perfect to celebrate a birthday! Her design combines Outside In Stitched Balloon Stackables with the sweet little puppy from Joy to All! Her sentiment is found in Meow You Doin’.

The Fangtastic Friends bats are celebrating a happy holiday in Joyce‘s fun design. The Full Moon die fits the sketch perfectly!

The Beary Rainy Day bears are having fun with a giant snowball in Catherine‘s clever interactive design! She altered a Stitched Rectangle using an Outside In Stitched Balloon to work with the wheel from Reveal Wheel. In the background she added Snowflake Background Stencil, then she combined words from Den Sweet Den and Cozy Christmas to make the sentiment.

Jenn followed the sketch using Nighttime Sky Stencil and the Winter Skies bears. She created her “magical” design with beautiful ink-blending and lots of glitter!

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 137 – Holiday Critters tomorrow! Now it’s time to get creative with the Card Sketch!

There’s also “let’s party” from Party Animal along with Flirty Frames, and “date” and “address” from Plan On It and Plan On It: Appointments.

For the fantastic party decor, Catherine used more strawberry die sets along with Milk Carton, Cake Slice Box and Stitched Scalloped Cupcake Wrapper!

It’s birthday party time in the aquarium! Samantha created this cute card using Fintastic Friends, Party Animal and Virtual Friends Add-On. I love how she added the Ocean Wave Border and Outside In Stitched Thought Bubbles to enhance the underwater theme!

Christy‘s gorgeous card wishes a berry happy birthday with a cute Berry Special scene! The pretty patterned papers in the background are from Flower Market!
