Design Team Inspiration
The design team has made the most amazing samples! Remember to click on the person’s name to see all of the details and then leave these wonderful DT girls some comment love!
Megan used non-traditional holiday colors to create a String of Lights Backdrop card filled with so much joy! The Favorite Flannel London Fog background looks so good with the bright colors of the light bulbs. It also coordinates perfectly with the Blue Jay cardstock that Megan used for Scripty Joy and the sentiment banner. Then she added a sweet message from Joy to All!
Elise created her lovely holiday card using pretty pastels of Candy Cane Lane for the light bulbs and the background. Then she created a bold greeting by white embossing the Henry’s Build-A-Sentiment: Winter greeting on black sentiment strips. And then she added some gold stars to add a perfect finishing touch.
Marine got really creative, using String of Lights Backdrop to make an amazing Halloween card! She stenciled a cool spiderweb background before layering the String of Lights Backdrop over the top. Then to add Halloween cuteness, she added candy corn from Build-A-Cauldron and smiling spiders from Cute Cobweb. The glittery light bulbs and silver embossed sentiment add some fun bling!
Latisha‘s holiday design is so elegant with gold and silver sparkle cardstock and Giant Happy Hanukkah!
Mindy created a super fun shaker card with String of Lights Backdrop! She adhered a panel of acetate behind the backdrop, then using foam strips she added the Christmas lights over a mix of sequins. Then she added a greeting with Merry Messages.
Yainea combined Candy Cane Lane papers with a polka dot pattern from Rainbow Ever After! She cut a striped paper from Candy Cane Lane with a Stitched Rectangle Frame to finish this beautiful backdrop. The greeting is a Winter Big Scripty Words coordinating Lawn Cuts die that she cut from shimmer cardstock and layered on a vellum strip.
Tammy used the String of Lights Backdrop to accent her cute Build-A-Snowman scene! The Henry’s Build-A-Sentiment: Winter message pops against the dark blue background. So pretty!
Audrey‘s card is so gorgeous! I love how she added a watercolor glow behind the colorful lights! She also used Henry’s Build-A-Sentiment: Winter to add a greeting to this simply amazing card!
Elena used the 6×6 size of the Candy Cane Lane Snow Flurries pattern as the background for her festive card! I love how she used the loopy lines of the String of Lights Backdrop to stamp her fun sentiment using Offset Sayings: Christmas.

Our Christmas tree is a pre-lit artificial tree that has strings of lights already on it. I got some Bee strand of lights recently and hubby put them up in my craft room. They add a soft artsy glow to the room.
I used them a lot but since electricity became so expensive, I switched to battery powered ones. They are smaller and less bright but more free to place
We always put lights (loads of them) in our Christmas tree
Oh yes-lights on the tree, lights on the stairs, lights outside!! 😄

My hubby always decorates the house with strings of lights for Christmas. On the years we spend Christmas in the RV in FL he decorates the RV with lights!
I don’t anymore because the snow makes it dangerous to put up lights.
I love putting up string lights in the house, on the tree, outside on the house and as a border around the yard for my outdoor display! There can never be too many lights!
I love lights. They are so pretty to sit and look at. I have different pairs of cardboard glasses that will put different images around each light. They are so fun to use,

We have a mix of white lights and red, green, yellow, and purple chile pepper lights on our tree, here in New Mexico
Lots of greenery, flowers, lights and shiny baubles.

Besides lights on the tree, I put them on my banister, around my front door and swagged under my front window, done all with greenery. Last year, we added permanent holiday lights to the house. They’re the best!!! No more getting up on ladders and roofs for these old bones!!😅
Lights are definitely part of the festivities. With it being dark so early in the day it really brightens and makes it lively. Nothing more magical than seeing lights shine against the snow too!

I use strings of lights in as many places I can. Mantles, vases, lanterns and the tree of course!
As it gets dark at 3pm (and the sun comes up at 9am) at the darkest strings of lights are necessary
Well, it’s funny you should ask. I LOVE strings of lights – and not just for Xmas. But my hubby is not a fan of putting them up outside and I’m not a very handy person (he is). So we compromise and have a couple up indoors where it’s warm for him to do setup/takedown and I still get the effect of the beautiful soft light.
LOVE all these examples today. The DT has absolutely CRUSHED it!
