Here's some inspiration!  

Need to get inspired? See what our Inspiration Team created with this challenge!   Be warned--it appears several of the design team members have a fondness for vintage trucks! 

 Debbie Owens begins the vintage card parade with an olive green vintage truck from the newly released Harvest Haul stamp set.  She adds her lovely vehicle to a Kraft card base with its subtle leaves (Falling Leaves stencil) in the background. For a touch of more color, she adds strips of paper from the Autumn Paper Pad. 

 

Continuing the parade, Diane Morales colors her vintage truck from the Harvest Haul stamp and coordinating die set in shades of golden yellows. She continues with the autumn yellow with her section of plaid paper from the Autumn Paper Pad.  She leaves a lot of white space to give her card a clean, crisp feel!

Sue T.'s red vintage truck from the Harvest Haul stamp and coordinating die set ends our vintage card parade. She tucks some colorful autumn paper from the Autumn Paper Pad behind her truck. Her wood grain embossed front adds a nice rustic charm to her lovely card!

Amy Tollner changes things up by using one of the ever adorable mice from the Autumn Mice stamp and coordinating die set.  Don't you just love those rosy cheeks?  She pairs this darling image with the newly released Autumn Oval stamp set.  She uses the Oval Frames die set to create her scalloped frame.  She pulls the pretty polka dotted paper from the Autumn paper pad and cuts it with the scallop-edged frame from the Frames & Flags die set.  Has autumn ever been cuter?

Claire Lamb's card will have you heading to your local coffee shop for a pumpkin-spice coffee!  She uses the Frames & Flags die set to create her center on which she lightly distresses in autumn yellow and orange.  She adds the super cute Siamese kitty from the Newton's Mug stamp and the coordinating die set.  Doesn't  he look adorable popping his head out of his burnt red mug?  For more autumn fun, Claire adds additional mugs of coffee,  pumpkins, and the fun sentiment using products from the Love Cafe' stamp and coordinating die set and the Pumpkin Latte stamp set.

Claire's FAVE

Donna H. elected to use the Porch Swing Friends stamp and coordinating die set for her amazing card.  Her beautiful coloring and white space on the image really catches one's eye.  Paired with the rustic wood grain paper and trio of brads, her card delights with its country charm.  To make it a thank you card, she pulls a sentiment from the Peony Blooms  retired stamp set.

Debbie's FAVE

Irene's card will have you reaching for your baking tools to whip up some holiday treats!  Using the Made from Scratch stamp and coordinating die set, she uses the rolling pins for the sketch's horizontal stripe.  Having the other utensils around the oval edge draws the eye to the sentiment.  She also created a sweet matching tag using the Fancy Edges Tag die set and the Holiday Home stamp set.  

Diane's FAVE

Jenny's use of bold, bright colors makes her card so cheerful and perfect to celebrate a birthday! She uses the Oval Frames die set to create her scalloped oval frame using paper from the Birthday Party paper pad. She uses another fun paper from the same pad for her horizontal stripe.  She wonderfully colors the birthday elements from the Birthday Oval stamp set in those bright, cheerful colors!

Sue's FAVE

Amy Tsuruta's clean, crisp card with its subtle coloring makes for such a fresh, beautiful card. She creates the white postage-edged frame using the Framework die set and attaches to a white card base.  She continues with the white on white with her use of the white ribbon.  On her oval, she creates a light blue background using the Houndstooth stencil. She lightly shades the sprig of sunflowers from the Sunflower Days stamp and die set. Her white on black sentiment makes for a nice pop of contrast.  

Amy's FAVE

Dayna had the brilliant idea of making our taco-lovin' Newton from the Newton Loves Tacos stamp and die set into a spinning element!  How fun and clever!  Her choice of paper with its Mexican textile-like patterns works amazingly well with this Newton image.  Fantástico!

Thank you for playing!

Claire Lamb's colorful balloon bouquet looks like the perfect ride for the feline and canine to enjoy a spectacular cloudy day.  To make her card, Claire uses the Clouds stencil and the Oval Frames die set for her sky. Those darling critters and balloons are from the Sky High Celebrations stamp and die set. At last, she pulls a sentiment from the Newton's Kite stamp set. 

 Debbie Owens showcases the napping sloth from the Slothy Christmas stamp set.  This adorable stamp set is retiring, so be sure to grab your set before it's too late!  She pairs him with some cocktails from the Christmas Cocktails stamp set.  For her background she uses papers from the Meowy Christmas paper pad and die cuts little snowflakes using the Snow Globe Shaker die set.

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

Claire Lamb distresses an amazing rainy background for her trio of cats from the Newton's Rainy Day Trio stamp and coordinating die set. For raindrops, she adds sequins to her shaker card and adds the sentiment on a speech bubble using a die from the Speech Bubbles die set.  She uses a die from the Framework die set to get the stitching on her center rectangle.  A-meow-zing!

 Debbie Owens uses the Cycling Friends stamp set to create her background which she layers with vellum and die cuts using the Framework die set. For her horizontal element, she adds red/white twine.  She die cuts an oval using the  Oval Frames die set and adds the same cycling critters image with a basket full of presents.  So fun!

Diane Morales designs a little tropical haven for Newton (Aloha Newton stamp and die set) to take a much needed nap!  To create this scene, she uses  the Oval Frames die set for her frame, the Sky Borders die set for the beach, and the Clouds stencil for her puffy clouds.  Diane pulls three designs from the Summertime paper pad that work perfectly with her design!

Sue T. also features the Aloha Newton stamp and die set.  She showcases the darling and talented ukulele playing kitty decked out in her pink flower and lei!  Sue creatively uses the Tropical Leaves stencil to create an oval of tropical leaves surrounding her kitty along with a splattering of pink hibiscus.  Sue keeps her card CAS by simply scoring two lines in keeping with the sketch elements.  Super creative!

Amy Tollner showcases one of the gnomes from the Gnome Garden stamp and die set. She creates a cloudy sky using the Clouds stencil and cutting it with a stitched oval die from the Oval Frames die set. She uses the butterfly paper from the Springtime paper pad and white embosses the sentiment on a black banner (Frames & Flags die set).  Her silver strip adds a nice touch of glitter to this darling card!
