Welcome! At Inspired By, we believe creativity can spark from the simplest things—a cozy photo, a fun sketch, or a seasonal theme. Each week we share a fresh inspiration image and a coordinating sketch to get your ideas flowing. Whether you’re into cardmaking, scrapbooking, mixed media, or any type of project, you’re invited to interpret the challenge your way. There’s no right or wrong—just inspiration and creativity. We can’t wait to see what you create!

Current Challenge

My card today was inspired by the balloon arch and the pretty pastel colors in the inspiration photo for this week’s Inspired By theme – BALLOONS. I think I got pretty close to the sketch as well.

Do you have certain stamps or dies that just feel timeless to you? That’s how I feel about this adorable Balloon Bunny stamp from Lily of the Valley (LOTV) Stamps. While they no longer offer rubber stamps, this cutie is still available as a digital download.

For the background, I used the Layered Birthday stencil from Pretty Pink Posh. The daisies were created with texture paste through part of a layered stencil from Erin Lee Creative. The die cut sentiment is from Kaisercraft.

Some fussy cutting, enamel dots, and splatters finished my card off nicely.

I’m loving the creativity of my teammates and would really love to see how you’re inspired by this week’s challenge too. I hope you’ll join us this week! ~MarDi
