Kathy Schweinfurth's rainbow of bunnies had Claire falling in love! Kathy created those bunnies using the Bunny Tails stencil set. Don't you love those shiny little bunny tails? Fabulously done!

Danni's FAVE

Christy's Easter card features Postage Stamp Layout, Frames & Flags, Easter Postage Sampler, and Happy Easter by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #cardmakingideas, #cardchallenge, #springcards, #eastercards

Danni loved Christy's card so much that she CASEd it! (Danni's card) Christy used the Postage Stamp Layout die for her design and placed the yellow basket weaved paper from the Happy Easter pack. She then used the Frame & Flags die for the scallop edging. Then she used a variety of images from the Easter Postage Sampler stamp and coordinating die set for all the panels. Absolutely darling!

Debbie's FAVE

Michelle Harlamart's spring card features Garden Mice by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #cardmakingideas, #cardchallenge, #springcards, #micecards

The simplicity of Michelle Harlamart's card caught Debbie's eye. Michelle lightly distressed an area on which she places one of the darling mice from the retired Garden Mice stamp and coordinating die set. Such a pretty CAS card!

Kelly's FAVE

Carrianne Banul's spring card showcases Coffee House Stories, A Dog's Life, and Hoppy Greetings by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #cardmakingideas, #cardchallenge, #springcards, #eastercards

Carrianne Banul's use of color and the cute bunny caught Kelly's eye. Carrianne used the blue striped paper form the Coffee House Stories pad with the polka dotted paper from the A Dog's Life paper pad. The look striking together! She then adds the darling bunny from the retired Hoppy Greetings stamp and coordinating die set. Too cute!
