Design Team Inspiration
Karin‘s Happy Couples kitties are headed down the aisle! Just look at that spectacular bouquet toss above her gold Scripty Love and Scripty Love Outline Add-on sentiment.
Franci‘s delightful scene celebrates a new baby on the way with Plus One. Her perfect pastels and Scalloped Rectangle Stackables edging give the effect of a baby blanket. So sweet!
These playful pups on Samantha M.’s card are certainly ready to party! She’s mixed and matched them so well from Yappy Birthday, Yappy Birthday Add-on, and Furry and Bright.
Mimi‘s I Heart Pandas are cuddled in wedded bliss after borrowing a few accessories like the veil, top hat, and bouquet from Bicycle Built for You.
It’s a purple Elephant Parade for Samantha C.’s card, celebrating a new little one! She’s added extra details from the Elephant Parade Add-on to complete her adorable scene.
Joyce has created the most delicious-looking layers for her Build-A-Cake card. She’s gone for all dies, except for a scripty stamped sentiment from All the Party Hats.
Mayra‘s turned her Tiny Gift Box Panda and Bear Add-on die cuts into the cutest anniversary couple below a bold, Giant Outlined Love sentiment. For extra interest, she’s added some heat-embossed vellum heart bubbles from A Mole Lot of Love.
It’s another puppy party on Christy‘s card, featuring Simply Celebrate Critters and Simply Celebrate Hangouts. Check out the video tutorial for this card HERE on her YouTube channel.
We will have more Design Team inspiration for the Let’s Celebrate! Challenge over the next 2 weeks! Be sure to come back on Wednesday when we’ll announce our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 211 – Sparkle & Shine!
