Amy's FAVE

Vanessa creates another darling puppy card. This one won our hearts with the bright colors and uniquely designed paper using the smaller elements from the Puppy Playtime stamp set.  She again adds two playful pups from the same set with fun stripes behind them.  And those cute bones!  Nicely done, Vanessa!

Claire's FAVE

Priscilla awed us with how she combined the Tropical Fish (retiring) stencil set with a stripe stencil that makes it look like sunlight is filtering through the water!  Wow!  She then leaves her mermaid from the Mermaid Crossing (Retired) stamp and die set outlined in blue.  Very stunning, Priscilla!

Debbie's FAVE

Sandi brings us a bold, graphic shark card featuring a scarily cute shark from the Shark Bites stamp and coordinating die set. We liked her use of blue stripes in the backdrop as well as those little sharks circling around.  Fabulously done, Sandi!

Diane's FAVE

Karen also uses a scarily cute shark from the Shark Bites stamp and coordinating die set.  We love her creative use of the Serene Stripes stencil for her ocean and her bold yellow and blue colors!  Very eye-catching, Karen!

Sue's FAVE

A. Rose's sweet card to thank our healthcare professionals caught our eyes with its CAS style.  The wavy red and white striped circle behind the feline nurse is a creative way to add stripes, and Newton is looking stunning in his professional healthcare attire.  This fun image is from the Newton's Sick Day stamp set.  Great work, A. Rose!

Thank you for playing!

Crystal's FAVE

Priscilla creates a porthole allowing us to see the pretty mermaid from the Mermaid Crossing stamp set . She adds ocean-theme paper and a red banner for a nice splash of color. 

Debbie's FAVE

A. Rose keeps it clean and crisp with the use of the bright pink and lime green pattern paper. She stamps the bunny and eggs from the Bunny Hop stamp set in the circle and balances them out with the sentiment.


Diane's FAVE

Jennifer R. perfectly layers her elements to make this fabulous autumn card. Those ladies are from the Pumpkin Latte stamp and die set, and they look wonderful in the fall colors.  The kraft doily, gingham ribbon, and burlap banner are wonderful elements!

Sue's FAVE

Amy T.  coordinates all her elements for a perfect blend!  The little hearts on the coffee cup from the Hedgehog Hollow stamp and die set compliment the pattern paper die cut using a die from the Framework die set. She then distresses hearts from the Bokeh Hearts stencil set.  The little lady bug is a perfect finishing touch!

Becky's FAVE

Amy T.  is back again with amazing attention to detail and use of coordinating elements. For this card she uses the hot air balloon image from the Newton Dreams of Paris  stamp and die set and adds Paris-inspired pattern paper. She adds glittery clouds using the Cloudy Sky stencil with some little hot air balloons in the distance. For her sentiment, she uses one of the dies from Speech Bubbles die set. 

Thank you for playing!

Our April Guest, Christy played along with our challenge and created this yummy card! She used our Tag Sampler stamp set and Tags Times Two Die Set for the handmade with love tag. The little dotted heart image is from Winston's Honeybees. I love how she paired it with pattern paper that has handmade jars of yummy goodies on it!

Crafty Math-Chick had fun with our new Tag Sampler stamp set and Tags Times Two Die Set on her card. I love how she added in the ball of yarn from the Newton Unwinds set to create a fun background - and the subtle sweater paper too!

I created a mermaid themed card with this sketch! I used our Tag Sampler stamp set to stamp the tag and I cut it out with the Tags Times Two Die Set. Then I colored the mermaid from the Mermaid Crossing stamp set and fussy cut her out. I added the "have a FIN-tastic birthday" sentiment to the tag, also from the Mermaid Crossing stamp set!
