Let’s start the birthday inspiration with a video by Mindy! She created a beautiful birthday card featuring Party Mouse! You can watch the video below or click HERE to watch at our YouTube channel.

Thank you so much for watching! Now let’s check out more Design Team inspiration!

Mindy combined Party Mouse, Let’s Celebrate Backdrop, Bunting Background Stencils and lots of color to make a super cute and fun birthday card!

It’s a bird-day at the Backyard Bird Feeder! Elena stenciled clouds with Stratus Cloud Background Stencil, then she layered on Tree Branches Backdrop: Portrait to create a lovely view! And next, she added the Yappy Birthday balloons to the bird feeder to provide fun party decor!

Audrey chose Year Fifteen and happy Really Rainbow color for her special birthday card! I love how she used Snowy Backdrop, then cut the Ta-Da! Diorama! Scalloped Window at a jaunty angle in the middle. It makes a fun window to frame the cute “best-teas”!

Melissa used Scripty Happy and Scripty Birthday along with colorfully stamped birthday greetings for her adorable scrapbook layout! But the most the fun is how she used the slider panel from Pull ‘n Slide Surprise as clever mats for her cute birthday photos! She included lots of color from Fruit Salad Petite paper and Lots of Dots Washi Tape.

Latisha‘s bright and cheery birthday card features Giant Outlined Happy Birthday: Landscape. She cut it from Silver Sparkle cardstock before filling it with more colorful cardstock!

Puns are perfect for birthdays, especially the cute ones in Critters in the Desert! Marine filled the front of a Pull ‘n Slide Surprise card with lots of desert cuteness!

And there’s more cuteness on the slider! That tortoise is too adorable!

And the punch line to the pun is hidden below the slider with a speedy roadrunner delivering the birthday cake! Meep, meep!

Just a little note to say…Megan created a cute and cheesy birthday card! With mice from Simply Celebrate Critters and the cheese from Simply Celebrate Hangouts, this adorable card sends sweet birthday wishes! Megan also used Say Cheese, Again, Love Poems and Virtual Friends.

Tammy‘s birthday card is so much fun! She used Party Mouse, some candles from Stitched Cupcake and a beautifully decorated birthday cake! To create the “cake” she combined Stitched Squares with Rooftop Border and some happy papers from Pint-sized Patterns Summertime.

Yainea’s birthday card is so simply fun! She started with a watercolor background before adding the boba tea from Year Fifteen. Then she combined the Year Fifteen sentiment with one from Big Scripty Words!

It’s a happy birthday at the farm! The farm animals from Simply Celebrate More Critters are celebrating in style with a banquet table from Simply Celebrate Hangouts! Elise included Yappy Birthday balloons and gifts from Christmas Dreams. The greeting is found in Offset Sayings: Birthday.

Grace gets high marks for creative use of Scalloped Rectangle Stackables! She added lots of scalloped detail to frame the cutest Backyard Bird Feeder Add-On scene. There are Stratus Clouds stenciled in the background along with a Simple Grassy Hillside.

Grace added more adorable detail with images from Porcu-pine for You, Fly High and All the Smiles. That punny sentiment is from Special Delivery Add-On.

More Christmas in the Desert inspiration with our Design Team!

Elena stenciled lots of sandy hills on her card before arranging all the adorable critters from Christmas in the Desert! She decked the cactus with extra ornaments then placed the cute piles of sand. And it’s all bordered with festive Candy Cane Lane red and gold striped paper and a Stitched Rectangle Frame!

Audrey used the negative portion of the Desert Canyon Backdrop and Cactus Hillside Border to set the scene for her beautifully bedecked Christmas in the Desert cactus! It’s “sand-sational”!

Megan created an amazing backdrop with purple and teal, then she carried that color palette throughout her darling holiday card!

Tammy‘s snow globe design is so much fun! She filled the snow globe with the festive desert critters then added extra cacti from Critters in the Desert! Candy Cane Lane papers are perfect for adding even more holiday cheer.

Nothing says fun and whimsical Christmas like a lineup of rainbow-colored cacti! I love how Latisha even colored the critters and potted cacti to match! It all looks so great on a Candy Cane Lane petite paper tied up with White Hemp Twine!

Jenn‘s pink-hued desert scene is absolutely gorgeous! I love the glittery Cactus Border!

Mindy‘s collage style card is so clever! She used Peekaboo Backdrop, filling the windows with adorable Christmas in the Desert scenes!

Nichol‘s nighttime sky adds a dramatic backdrop to her “sand-sational” desert scene! In addition to Christmas in the Desert her card features Desert Canyon Backdrop and Cactus Hillside Border!

I love how Elise layered the colorful Candy Cane Lane papers on this cheery design! She used lots of bright, happy color to create a special Christmas card!

Melissa‘s fabulous card is filled with all the adorable Christmas in the Desert critters along with some friends from Critters in the Desert! I love her layered the Desert Canyon Backdrop and the fantastic watercolor sky! She borrowed signs from Kanga-rrific to add the fun holiday messages!

And you always need lots of gift tags, so why not make a bunch while you have this fun Christmas in the Desert set out! Melissa’s tag is so clever!

Marine‘s tall slimline design gives her plenty of room to create one of her amazing, detailed scenes! She stenciled the sandy scene with Hillside Stencils and included extra cactus from Critters in the Desert! A white embossed sentiment finishes this special holiday design!

Lawn Fawn Video {8.6.24} Mindy’s Nighttime Desert Scene

Mindy created an amazing nighttime desert scene! She featured Nighttime Sky Stencil, Desert Canyon Backdrop and the cute Wolf Before ‘n Afters critters. You can watch her video tutorial below or click HERE to watch at our YouTube channel.

Thank you so much for watching!

Mindy ink-blended this gorgeous starry sky with Nighttime Sky Stencil to create a glowing moon in the dark sky. Then she added golden stars with Starry Sky Stencil and glittery gold stencil paste. As the background dried, she inked the Desert Canyon Backdrop and a Stitched Hillside Border to complete the scene.

Next, she colored a bunch of images from Critters in the Desert, S’more the Merrier and Wolf Before ‘n Afters to fill the desert canyon scene. Finally, she die-cut Cole’s ABCs letters to create a punny friendship message with a sentiment from Wolf Before ‘n Afters.

Thanks so much for sharing with us today, Mindy! I love the cute wolves in the desert scene!
