Jenn created an amazing monochromatic village scene to celebrate the New Year. She was inspired by the fireworks in the Inspiration Board!

Jenn created a watercolor panel with shades of black and grey. She added the Stitched Fireworks to the sky, then added lots of bright color! She splattered Gansai Tambi Starry Colors gold metallic ink for lots of sparkle.

Next, she colored the images from Happy Village, Village Shops and Village Heroes in monochromatic shades of gray.

The bold greeting rings in the new year with Quinn’s 123s and Riley’s ABCs! She gold embossed “happy” then she added Chunky Glitter to the numbers!


Thank you so much for this brilliant inspiration, Jenn!

This is the last weekend for this challenge!

Catherine was inspired to create a brilliant “Happy New Year around the world” card!


Catherine used Peekaboo Backdrop to divide the amazing geographical vignettes. She cut the backdrop from black glitter cardstock from the Autumn Sparkle pack. She created the background with Stitched Fireworks and colorful inking. Then she added more sparkle with Chunky Glitter. She added the greeting to the top using Winter Wavy Sayings and a small Simple Wavy Banner.


Please see the supply list below for links to the sets that Catherine used for each of the adorable little scenes.

Top left: New York City – Village Heroes (taxi and fire hydrant), Virtual Friends (waving mouse), Let’s Bokeh (clock and Time Square ball), Plan on It: Calendar (2023), Simple Road Border, Large and Small Mini Slimline Stackables (Time Square building).

Bottom left: Tokyo – Shadow Box Card Mountain Add-On (Mt. Fuji), Build-A-Barrel: Apple (shrine), Bubbles of Joy (mouse), Let’s Go Nuts (scarf), Stitched Hillside Borders.

Top right: North Pole – Snow Cool (igloo), Crazy Antics (mice), Party Animal (party hats), Plan on It: Holidays (champagne glasses).

Bottom right: Kiribati – Beachy Christmas (palm tree), Happy Hugs (mice).

I absolutely love this clever design, Catherine! Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful inspiration!

Mimi’s Fun Lift the Flap Inspiration

- Nancy Krueger 5 Comments

We hope you are having fun with new Change the Scene challenge! It is a 3-week challenge that will be open until Sunday, September 4th at 11:59PM ET.

All of the auto specialties, mechanics, tire store and car wash, are really busy in Mimi‘s brilliant lift the flap card! When you open the Small Slimline with Lift the Flaps windows, you get a glimpse of the activity at each business!

Mimi inked a pretty backdrop on the Small Slimline with Lift the Flaps panel before she decorated each flap with a fun car theme! She combined Home for the Holidays cars, Smooth Sailing critters and Village Heroes fire station. She altered the little car to become the tow truck, adding the hook from Booyah and the package strings from Special Delivery Add-On. So clever!

Under the flaps you get a close up inside the tire store, the mechanics shop and the car wash! For this larger view she used the Car Critters car and critters from Berry Special, Scootin’ By and Merry Mice. To create the car wash, Mimi used the rolling pin from Baked with Love and the branch from Frosty Fairy Friends, how clever is that! Check out the supply list below for more images used in clever ways!

Thank you so much for inspiring us with this brilliant Change the Scene card, Mimi!
