Catherine designed a beautiful party with a sewing theme! This is perfect inspiration for your next party and a great way to think outside the birthday card for the “All Things Birthday” challenge!


Catherine designed this party with pretty pastels based on the Flower Market papers! For the banner she used Stitched Party Banners, Fancy Scalloped Circles and Louie’s ABCs.


For the cupcakes she used more Flower Market papers for the Stitched Scalloped Cupcake Wrappers. Then she added coordinating toppers with Scalloped Circles, Fancy Scalloped Circles and cute images from Sew Very Mice and Sewn with Love!


Who could resist this amazing party invitation? Catherine began with a Fancy Scalloped Rectangle, then she layered on Sunburst Backdrop. She created a fun shaker element with Embroidery Hoop which is the perfect place to add the party theme! I love how she included the party particulars in the Sew Very Mice embroidery hoops, that is just so clever!

Thank you so much for this brilliant party inspiration, Catherine! Such a fun party idea!

Christy’s Dandy Little Scene

Hey friends, it’s Christy here with another card for our Spectacular Skies Challenge! Today I wanted to create a little sunrise scene, and I thought the sweet mice from Dandy Day would be the perfect accompaniment. I colored them all with Copics and trimmed them out with the matching dies.

For my background I used the Cloudy Stencil with some Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide Ink, then splattered on a little Liquid Stardust to give it a touch of shimmer. I trimmed it down with the Stitched Party Banner die and cut down the top with the Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables to get it to the size I wanted.

I also cut down a piece of Noble Fir cardstock with the Stitched Party Banner and used the Grassy Border across the top. I stamped my sentiment across the bottom with Black Licorice Ink and added some dandelion fluff to the background while I was at it, and adhered the two pieces together with liquid glue. I added my images to complete the scene.

On my card base, I glued down a piece of yellow dandelion patterned paper from the Dandy Day 6×6 pad, and also a pretty plaid from the Perfectly Plaid Spring 6×6 pad, both trimmed down with the Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables. I added double-sided foam tape to the back of the focal panel and popped that up for a little dimension. As a finishing touch, I dabbed a little Stardust Stickles on the heads of the dandelion seeds.

If you’d like to see how this card came together, you can check out the video tutorial on my YouTube Channel, Christy Gets Crafty.

And if you’d like to play along in our Spectacular Skies Challenge, you still have time! We can’t wait to see what you create!

Thank you so much for sharing with us today, Christy! Your card is delightful inspiration!

Christy’s Cute New Baby Card

Hey everyone, it’s Christy here with a sweet baby shower card for our What’s the Weather Challenge. One of my co-workers is about to become a first-time grandma, and she loves elephants for baby girls, so I combined a couple of sets to create her a congratulations card with that theme.

I started by stamping out the mama elephant from Wild for You, the baby elephant from Elphie Selfie, and the umbrella and rattle from Hello Baby. I colored them in Copic markers using a soft color palette of warm gray, pink, and mint. Then I trimmed them out with the matching dies.

For the background, I die cut a Stitched Circle Stackable and sponged on some distress ink using a stencil to create some pale gray clouds and a little patch of grass. I added a sentiment and a few raindrops from Hello Baby as well. I layered this onto a Fancy Scalloped Circle Stackable to give it that delicate eyelet-looking edge.

I layered some patterned papers over my card base, die cutting the largest with a Stitched Rectangle Stackable, and used the Stitched Party Banner to selectively die cut a flag end on my banner. I popped the focal panel up with foam tape for a little dimension and added some white gel pen polka dots to the rattle and umbrella as a finishing touch.

If you’d like to see how this card came together, check out the video tutorial on my YouTube channel, Christy Gets Crafty. There’s still plenty of time to enter our What’s the Weather Challenge! I can’t wait to see what you create!

Our What’s the Weather challenge will be open until Sunday, March 3 at 11:59PM ET. We hope you will join us!
Have an awesome weekend, Fawnatics friends!
Happy Crafting!
