Inspired By.... Pina Colada

Sip, smile, and get crafty—this week’s Inspired By Challenge is as refreshing as a piña colada on the beach! 🍍🥥 In honor of National Piña Colada Day, we’re bringing you a tropical escape in card form. Whether you're drawn to the creamy whites, coconut texture, that splash of pineapple yellow, or the whole dreamy beach vibe, let the inspiration photo and sketch guide your creativity. Tell us what sparked your design and be sure to tag us when you share!

For those of you who are new to our challenge, every week we post our inspiration photo and sketch and hope that you’ll join us by creating a project to play along.

Just a reminder—an inspiration photo is exactly that: a starting point. Will it be the colors, the layout, the summery theme, or something unexpected that inspires your card?

If you share on social media, be sure to tag @inspired_by_challenge and use #inspiredbychallenge or #inspired_by_challenge so we can find and feature your creations!

How are you inspired? Create a project and in your post, let us know what inspired you from the photo, and don't forget to display our inspiration photo and link back to our challenge 😊 Now for our Design Team's inspiration:

Inspired By.. Canisters

There's something about these vintage canisters -  they are giving: cozy kitchen, grandma’s house, Sunday baking, and soft golden light kinda vibes. Well at least to me. Who else feels this way?

Inspired By... Freezies

It has been hot here and yesterday when I got called to substitute in a class I am in a lot, I brought them all a jumbo freezie! I should have brought one for myself (I always chose red as a kid, what about you?)

As the weather heats up I don't know about you but I an always looking for ways to cool down and sometimes, a freezie just  hits the spot. Reminds me of my childhood, I always wanted the red ones.
