Design Team Inspiration

Samantha Mann‘s confetti card brings to mind snapping selfies in Times Square as the ball drops on New Year’s Eve. It features the Magic Iris Camera Add-on, Magic Iris Camera Pull-Tab Add-on, and Scripty Cheers.

Joyce‘s card is the perfect blend of drama and cuteness, combining the brand-new Critter Conversation Hearts and the numbers from Cake It Easy against her gold and black background.

Karin‘s card brings a pop of pink with her watercolored Stitched Poinsettia. It adds a touch of whimsy to the sophistication of her black and gold layers and gold embossed Magic Holiday Messages sentiment.

This little Birthday Before ‘n Afters chickie is popping out ready to party on Mimi‘s adorable card. He’s looking festive in his party hat beside the Cake It Easy cake with its paper-pieced frosting!

These gleeful geese are throwing the biggest birthday bash on Samantha Casey‘s card. It sweetly combines Silly Goose! with the row of gifts from Simply Celebrate Winter.

Mayra‘s card is dripping in gold with her bold, custom sentiment using Oliver’s Stitched ABCs and Oliver’s Stitched 123s. Look closely and you’ll see Stitched Fireworks going off in the background.

Franci’s sweet Tag, You’re It gift tags also feature the Stitched Fireworks as a festive backdrop to her sledding Snow One Like You critters.

Christy‘s Caroling Mice are bringing joy to all in the Village Hillside Border. Her Winter Wonderland Window and snowflake accents set off the detail in the Quilted Diamond Backdrop. Check out the video tutorial on her YouTube channel!

We will have more Design Team inspiration for the Sparkle & Shine Challenge over the next 3 weeks! Be sure to come back on Wednesday when we’ll announce our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 210 – Coffee, Tea & Treats!
