Today I'm sharing some more inspiration for our current challenge! 

Diane Morales showcases these sweet puppies from the Christmas Puppies stamp set and die set on her duo of tags.  She pulls festive papers from the Christmas Time paper pad as well as the banner die from the Slimline Frames & Window die set. These sweet tags will definitely adorn packages quite nicely.

Amy Tollner creates a lovely living room scene just perfect for these tired fur balls.  She creates a subtle "wallpaper" using the Serene Stripes stencil die cut using the scallop-edged frame die from the Frames & Flags die set.  Asleep on her pretty blue chair are the fur balls from the Christmas Nap stamp and die set. Her glittery sentiment is also from the Christmas Nap die set.  

Claire Lamb uses light distressing of pink for her living room walls.  She, too, is showcasing the Christmas Nap stamp and die set.  Aren't her fur babies just adorable atop the blue, plush chair? Claire pulls the sentiment from the Winter Birds stamp set.  Definitely a warm, cozy scene!

Debbie Owens creates a window-like shaker card looking outside at the festive critters from the  Caroling Newton stamp set singing to their hearts' content.  She uses dies from the Frames & Flags die set to create the window frame. For her background, she uses the Evergreens stencil with blue deco foil.  Other products used include the speech bubble from the Speech Bubbles die set and the Land Borders die set for the snowy ground.  Doesn't the white glitter make for the perfect fluffy snow?

Today I'm sharing some more inspiration for our current challenge! 

 Claire Lamb uses a blue gingham paper for a cozy setting for her trio of felines.  Those amazingly colored kittens are from the Caroling Newton and coordinating die set.  Holiday caroling just wouldn't be complete without some snow. Those pretty snowflakes in the background come from the 

the  Holiday Post stamp set. Oh so sweet!

Debbie Owens showcases just one of the amazing cocktails from the newly released Christmas Cocktails stamp set.  She places it on a bold, black backdrop die cut using the scallop-edged die from the Framework die set. She then uses the large scallop-edged die from the  Frames & Flags die set to die cut her black & white plaid paper. A few red drops and pink & red twine ties her card together! Cheers!

Diane Morales showcases the newly released Meowy Christmas paper pad. She uses the lime green plaid paper that is a wonderful fit with the snow couple from the also newly released Snow Much Cheer stamp and coordinating die set. She places her sweet couple on a scallop-edged circle (Circle Frames die set) and uses the scallop-edged frame die from the Framework die set for a fun shaped card!  Snow cute!

Sue T. creates an original plaid using the Gingham stencil and adding white polka dots. A very festive backdrop for her darling kittens from the Autumn Newton stamp and coordinating die set. The circular window allows more of her amazing background to show giving her card lots of texture!  Super cute!

 Amy Tollner showcases the book lovin' kittens from the Newton's Book Club and coordinating die set. She provides them a pretty room in which to read with the Hardwood stenciled floor and the pink and yellow walls decked out in plaid using the Plaid stencil.  She uses the banner die from the  Slimline Frames & Windows die set for her sentiment as well as the postage-edged frame die from the Framework die set. So cute!

Create a project using the colors: 

 Lime Green, Grass Green, Red, White

Today I have some more inspiration for this Challenge! 

Debbie Owens combines the Slimline Frames & Windows and the Slimline Frames & Porthole die sets to create the frames in red and lime green. Using the Plaid stencil, she makes a fun plaid background that she die cuts for the windows. She adds a banner in the center window with the sentiment from the Sentiments of the Season stamp set. On the ends she adds the darling Winston images from the Winston's Home for Christmas stamp set.  Totally sweet!

Don't those reindeer behind Santa a wonderful touch to Diane Morales' holiday card. Using a Kraft card base, Diane uses the Reindeer stencil to ink on the critters which she die cuts using the postage-edged die from the Framework die set. She adds a scallop-edged circle using the Circle Frames die set. On top of it, she adds the sentiment. She adds the sweet feline from the Santa Paw Newton stamp and cuts with the coordinating die. She adds the directional sign just in case Santa drinks too much eggnog!  Just too cute!

 You might be tempted to sing along with this darling trio!  Sue T. creates this musical card beginning with the pretty green paper with snowflakes. She adds the musical notes using the Music stencil and die cuts using the rounded rectangle die from the Frames & Flags die set.  She wonderfully colors her kittens from the Caroling Newton stamp and die set and adds speech bubbles die cut from the Speech Bubbles. Delightful!

 Time to holiday decorations!  Becky Noelle adds a beautiful white background using the Holiday Foliage stencil. {sigh} She then die cuts a tag using the Fancy Edges Tag die set and tucks a bit of green from the side.  She adds the lady from the Christmas Trimmings stamp set die set. The red and white twine and white on red sentiment from the Sentiments of the Season stamp set add a lovely touch of color to this fabulous CAS card!

Crystal Komara creates a shadow box/tunnel card that is filled with lots of holiday cheer!  On the front, she adds a white, scallop-edged panel using the Framework die set. She adds lime green pine tree using the Forest Scene Builder die set and the Merry Christmas sentiment from the Sentiments of the Season stamp set in red and the other in black. Inside, you'll find a downtown scene all decked out in holiday colors!  Crystal uses the Main Street Christmas stamp and die set for her city scene and adds the vintage car from the Destination Christmas stamp and die set. More pine trees, a splattering of red snowflakes, and a banner with a sentiment from the Main Street Christmas stamp set.  Oh holiday happiness!

Diane's FAVE

Vicki  creates a wonderfully balanced card with lots of geometric elements. She 

distresses her background in the challenge colors then uses the Serene Stripes stencil to create a wonderful layer that adds a lot of interest. She then adds two square frames and balances them with a blue circle die. She adds the typewriter using the My Type stamp and die set.  

Sue's FAVE

April Hutton wows with her vertical alcohol-inked stripes. She then colors the flowers from the Dainty Daisies stamp set in pale blues, which will have many of us longing for spring.  She balances her card with the sentiment again from the Dainty Daisies set. The strip of silver and glitter on the flowers' petals add a nice touch of sparkle. 

Becky's FAVE

Mary Reiner will have you singing along with this darling card with the music sheet score in the background created by the Music stencil. She adds a silvery scallop-edged frame using the Frames Squared die set. Mary then colors the singing trio from the Caroling Newton stamp and die set spectacularly using the challenge colors. Don't you just love how she added snowflakes on the kittens?

Debbie's FAVES

Bright bold colors and patterns make Meghan's card a hit!  With a lime green card base, Meghan adds a houndstooth pattern paper layer. She layers hexagonal frames in lime green and white on which she adds the two cacti from the Cuppa Cactus stamp and die set in their teal and blue striped cups. The sentiment probably rings true for many of us!  

April  really wowed us with the stunning alcohol ink triangular panel with it's stripe of silver. She adds lightly shaded peony flowers using the Peony Blooms stamp set.  She balances her design by stamping the sentiment in the lower bottom corner.  She adds some teal bling to finish!
