It’s the last weekend for the Critters & Hobbies challenge and Mimi has the cutest inspiration for you! Team Porcupine and Team Skunk are battling for a win on the soccer pitch in her super clever card!


These cute critters are enjoying their sporty hobby playing soccer (football). Team Skunk images are from Scent with Love and Scent with Love Add-On. And their opponents are from Porcu-pine for You and Porcu-pine for You Add-On! And the adorable fans from Simply Celebrate More Critters are waving flags from Tiny Sports Friends.


To create the soccer field, Mimi masked the lines, then blended on Lucky Clover Distress Oxide ink. She made the soccer goal with Honeycomb Backdrop and Shadow Box Add-On Fireplace Add-On for the frame. And finally, she used All Star for the ball and the punny sentiment!

Thank you so much for this special inspiration, Mimi! I love it!

Mimi gave the new Build-A-Gumball Machine a cute holiday vibe to create a super cute Christmas in July shaker card!


Mimi created the shaker by stacking 4 layers of gumball machine with acetate between the top 2 layers. Then she dressed the gumball machine up with holiday fun including a Santa hat and holly from Woodland Critter Huggers Winter Add-On. She added additional mini holly from Shadow Box Card Fireplace Add-On.


She used glitter frosted mint candies from How You Bean? Mint Add-On. She stamped them first in festive colors of Distress Oxide ink using a Misti. Then she stamped again with embossing ink to heat emboss with glittery Unicorn Sparkle embossing powder.


Finally, she added a colorful greeting using the same Distress Oxide inks and Offset Sayings: Christmas. I love how she replaced the O with another mint! She used the smallest of the Small Mini Slimline Stackables as a sentiment banner. So clever!

Thanks so much for this brilliant card idea, Mimi! I love the pretty pink gumball machine and pastel mints!

Mimi‘s amazing Build-A-Drink card is filled with holiday spirit! Or is that “spirits”?


Mimi used Build-A-Drink glasses filled with ink-tinted vellum “beverages” in holiday colors! She cleverly used the Stitched Umbrella handle as a candy cane for one of the drinks. And she die cut the ice cubes from glittery Pixie Dust cardstock for some holiday sparkle!


The drink glasses look so dramatic on the black background! And the holly and berries from both Woodland Critter Huggers Winter Add-On and Shadow Box Card Fireplace Add-On continue the Christmas theme!


Mimi framed the composition with a striped Stitched Scalloped Rectangle Frame before adding the super cool greeting! She spelled out “spirits” with Henry’s ABCs, then completed the sentiment by combining words and letters from Thanks a Latte, Don’t Worry Be Hoppy, and Slow Down and Enjoy. These sets all use the same whimsical font to create a seamless sentiment!

This is such a delightful design, Mimi! Thank you so much for inspiring us today!
