Catherine’s Clever Mountain Platform Pop-Up

- Nancy Krueger 5 Comments

We hope you enjoy today’s inspiration! We can’t wait to see your beach or mountain creativity! The Challenge 126 – Beach vs Mountain is a 2-week challenge and will be open until Sunday, June 19 at 11:59PM ET. 

Catherine is back with another cute and clever design to inspire you!

Catherine’s brilliant camping and zip-lining scene is so much fun! And adding it to a Platform Pop-Up makes it even more fun! She used Stitched Mountain Borders to create the 3D scenery along with Forest Border. She decorated the base of the Platform Pop-Up using Build-A-Campsite and a Butterfly Kisses bunny.

The Really High Five critters are zipping over the mountains with the help of acetate strips to suspend them. Catherine fashioned the zip-line using the triangle from Critter Concert. She used a line from a limited edition set but you could substitute with the clothesline from Little Bundle. And because “safety first” these wise critters borrowed helmets from Scootin’ By.

Catherine used the tree die from Build-A-Campsite to make a stencil to create scenery on the platform base.

Thanks so much for this totally adorable inspiration, Catherine!

We hope you are having fun with the Inspired by a Book, Movie or Song challenge and we can’t wait to see your creativity! This challenge will be open until Sunday April 3 at 11:59PM ET.

Mimi is with us today to inspire you with her super cute and clever card based on Angry Birds!

To create the fun Angry Birds, Mimi used Special Delivery for Red. Then she combined the large balloon from Really High Five with wings, feet and face from Special Delivery to make the black bird, Bomb She colored the Peacock Before ‘n Afters bird yellow to make Chuck.

The pigs are from Hay There and Party Pig (our birthday gift set this year). Mimi added some cute accessories, a hat and glasses from Dad + Me, and the crown from Happy Howloween. The little chicks and eggs are from Eggstra Amazing Easter.

To create the sling shot, Mimi used a pair of branches from A Bug Deal. Everything is so clever!

Thanks so much for sharing with us today, Mimi!

We invite you to join us for our current All Things Birthday Challenge! It will be open until Sunday, March 20th at 11:59PM ET. We can’t wait to see your creative birthday ideas!

Samantha created a birthday card with some super cute critters! She started with a Fancy Lattice Backdrop in white layered over a Speckled Eggshell panel. She added this to a Ballet Slippers panel to create a pretty pastel background.

Next, she stamped, colored and die cut images to create a sweet critter birthday celebration! She combined Birthday Before ‘n Afters, Butterfly Kisses, Really High Five, Dandy Day and Scootin’ By. For the greeting she stamped a birthday message from Wavy Sayings on a Simple Wavy Banner.

Thank you so much for inspiring us today, Samantha! This card is so adorable!

Happy crafting friends! We can’t wait to see your All Things Birthday creativity!
