Need to get inspired? See what our Inspiration Team created with this challenge! 

Crystal Minkler pulls a fabulous combination of papers from the Birthday Meows paper pad that make for a festive birthday background. She then adds the celebatory trio from the Sky High Celebrations stamp and coordinating die set who are ready to wish a special someone a happy birthday!



  Danni Bindel's bright, spring-filled card is refreshing and beautiful! She pulls a trio of pretty papers from the Spring Blooms paper pad that compliment her sprig of daisies from the Dainty Daisies stamp and coordinating die set. Her scallop-edged base layer was created using the Frames & Flags die set.  The overall effect is a breath of spring for all of us suffering the winter blues!


Like Crystal, Debbie Owens was inspired to create a birthday card using the IPC sketch.  She selects papers from the Birthday Woofs paper pad and colors her layered cake in same colors. That trio of puppies is from the Birthday Barks stamp set. She uses a die cut speech bubble (Speech Bubblesdie set) for her sentiment and the scallop-edge frame die (Frames & Flags die set) for her base layer. Let the celebration begin!


Amy Tollner showcases a naughty kitty from the Naughty Newton stamp and coordinating die set. Her little feline has been up to mischief. The table and vase are from the Cozy Home stamp and coordinating die set, and the little mouse is from the Welcome New Cat stamp and coordinating die set. She pulls purr-fect papers from the A Cat's Life paper pad. Look closely, and your'll spy a bit of distressing using the Quatrefoil stencil.  Such a clever way  to showcase the mischievousness of a beloved feline!



Like Amy, Claire Lamb is showcasing a naughty kitty from the Naughty Newton stamp and coordinating die set. This little feline is playing in the bathroom with the toilet paper!  (Can anyone else relate to this?) Claire creates an interesting background using the Argyle stencil set. She also uses the Sky Borders die set for her scallop black edging.  Another clever way to showcase a naughty feline!
