Amy just couldn't resist Meghan K.'s card with two of her favorites--books and a dog! Meghan's card is just so cute with the puppy from the All Booked Up stamp set. Amy also used the Framework die set to create her edging. Look closely at the spines of her larger books! So clever!

Claire's FAVE

Claire really liked how Holly Gerdes used the red gingham paper from the Farmyard paper pad with the bells from the Bells & Holly stamp and coordinating die set. The combination is very creative and makes for a wonderful holiday card!

Danni's FAVE

Traci's holiday card features Heartfelt Holidays and Heart Frames by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #handmadecards, #cardmaking, #cardchallenge, #stamping, #newtonsnookdesigns, #nndstamps, #holidaycards, #christmascards

Danni really liked how Tracie C. colored the Heartfelt Holidays stamp set (die cut with the Heart Frames die set) using the challenge colors as well as how the image stood out against the plaid background! The combination definitely makes for a wonderful holiday card!

Debbie's FAVE

Michelle's holiday card features Christmas Coffees by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #handmadecards, #cardmaking, #cardchallenge, #stamping, #newtonsnookdesigns, #nndstamps, #coffeelovers, #coffeecards, #holidaycards, #christmascards

Deb loved the brightness of Michelle Harlamert's card! This super bright and festive card features three caffeinated beverages from the Christmas Coffees stamp and coordinating die set. The addition of the black frames and stripe makes everything pop!
