Debbie Owens creates a fun Easter card. She uses the A7 Frames & Banners die set for her background. She adds a scalloped circle using floral paper from the Spring Blooms paper pad with the Circle Frames die set. She adds the round floral image from the Floral Roundabout stamp set . She uses the retiring bunny from the Hoppy Greetings stamp set as well as the image from the Spring Pile Up stamp set. She adds a sentiment from the Spring Roundabout stamp on a banner (Banner Trio Banner die set).

The overall effect is a spectacular Easter scene!

Amy Tollner also uses the A7 Frames & Banners die set for her many layers. She uses the Basketweave stencil to create her yellow panel. She colors images from the

Newton's Easter Basket stamp and die set. Her fablous card is so vibrant and brilliantly done!

Crystal Minkler 's bunny card is just so fun and playful! She creates her background using the dies from the Frames & Flags die set and papers from the Springtime paper pad. To create those darling bunnies, Crystal uses the Bunny Tails stencil set. Don't you love the little bunny tails! The sentiment is from the Spring Pile Up stamp set. So cute!!

Debbie's FAVE

Dayna's blue margarita really catches one's eye!  What a perfect way for Newton (Newton Loves Taco stamp and die set) to celebrate the 4th of July.  She captures the spirit of the holiday with her fireworks (Fireworks stencil) in the background and the red and white gingham paper.  

Diane's FAVE

Debbie Frank's stamps surfboards in the challenge colors for her background which works perfectly with the two vehicles from the  Beach Bound stamp and die laden with their surfboards! Such a creative idea!

Sue's FAVE

Andrea W. creatively colors the flowers from the Newton's Bloom stamp and die set in shades of blue and red.  She sets her potful of kitties and flowers on oval layers using the Oval Frames die set.  She pulls a sentiment from the Sending Hugs (retiring) stamp set. This card is sure to bring smiles the recipient's face!

Amy's FAVE

Melanie H. makes a foldable card filled with the cutest trio of kittens from the Newton's 4th of July stamp and die set.  Don't you just love how Newton is rocketing across a starry night sky as the other Newton's wave their sparklers? 😻

Claire's FAVE

Ava creatively uses the challenge colors in a non-patriotic way. Her red, blue, and turquoise-blue flowers from the Floral Roundabout stamp set are striking, especially against the red circle die cut using the Circle Frames die set. Such an amazing card!

For her scene, she adds some fluffy clouds (Sky Scene Builder die set), inks on some trees using the Tree Line stencil, adds some rolling hills and grass (Land Borders die set), and adds a wood-grain fence (Fence die). She adds the ever cute Newton from the Newton's Happy Mail stamp set peeking out of the mailbox with some happy mail!
