Here's a refresher.

Use the challenge colors, Pine Bough Green, Christmas Red, Kraft, and Black, with your NND products. 

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

Danni Bindel showcases the Newton's Stocking stamp and coordinating die set. She does some paper piecing of the stocking to coordinate with the plaid paper in the background.  All those spectacular papers come from the Christmas Time paper pad. She die cuts her holiday sentiment in black using the Holiday Greetings die set. She uses the Framework die set to make all those fancy-edged layers. Darling!

Debbie Owens showcases the sweet trio of napping critters from the Fireside Friends stamp set. Those cuddling critters are placed in front of a gold holiday foliage panel (Holiday Foliage Hot Foil Plate). For her background, Deb uses the Hardwood stencil (retiring) on black and cut using the postage-edged frame die (Framework die set). Her golden sentiment uses the Holiday Greetings Hot Foil Plate. What a cozy scene!

Amy Tollner uses a trio of mice from the Naughty or Mice stamp and coordinating die set for her festive holiday slimline card. Her trio of panels uses plaid paper from the Meowy Christmas paper pad.  To make her layers she uses dies from the Slimeline Frames & Portholes and the Slimline Frames & Windows die set.  The glittery green paper looks fabulous!

Claire Lamb designs her own background using the sentiments from the Scandi Christmas stamp set.  Doesn't it look fabulous?  She then uses the Pines & Holly die set to create a gorgeous wreath.  For her sentiment, she uses the little banner die from the A7 Frames & Banners die set with a sentiment from the Heartfelt Holidays stamp set.  A fabulously designed holiday card!

Crystal Minkler also uses the Newton's Stocking stamp for her darling holiday card.  She places her stocking on a stitched circle (Circle Frames die set) using the zigzag paper from the Meowy Christmas paper pad. She embosses the white sentiment on a black panel.  Simply speCATular!

Here'a a refresher.

Create a project using the colors--

Red, Dark Green, Light Green, and Brown

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

 Debbie Owens cleverly combines sets to create a caffeine Christmas card. Starting with the Circle Frames die set, she creates her card base. She fills it with some paper from the Meowy Christmas paper pad. She pulls the latte cup from the Pumpkin Latte stamp set and places it in the hands of one of the mice from the Naughty or Mice stamp set. For her sentiment, she pulls the words "A Christmas" from the A Kitten Christmas stamp set and "Espresso" from the Love Cafe stamp set. 

Diane Morales designs a square cut using the scallop-edged die from the Frames Squared die set and tree-filled paper from the Meowy Christmas paper pad.  She then adds one the darling dinos from the Prehistoric Christmas stamp and die set.  Isn't he just too cute with the pine trees in the background. She stamps her sentiment on a red banner adding a nice pop of color!   

Sue T. designs this stunning card. Sue has distressed snowflakes using the Snowfall stencil on a dark brown card base. Then die cuts using the postage-edge frame from the Framework die set. She adds beautifully colored flowers from the Poinsettia Blooms stamp and die set. She stamps sentiments from the Heartfelt Holidays stamp set on two banners die cut using the Frames & Flags die set. The brown and red combination is so striking!

Amy Tollner creates a merry and bright card using the green gingham paper from the Meowy Christmas paper pad die cut using the scallop-edged die from the Frames & Flags die set. She places the ever so cute toad from the Mistle Toad stamp and die set on a Kraft scalloped circle die cut using the Circle Frames die set. She embosses her sentiment from the Heartfelt Holidays stamp set on a banner die cut using the Banner Trio die set. 

Claire Lamb showcases the Heartfelt Holidays stamp set in a tri-fold card, and it's amazing!  On a Kraft card base, she repeatedly white embosses the background using the Heartfelt Holidays stamp. Using the Heart Frames die set, she cuts the heart-shape window with the beautifully colored image from the Heartfelt Holidays stamp set showing through. She stamps the sentiment and adds scallop edging using the Sky Borders die set. Just love this!

Diane Morales creates a mini slimline card measuring 3 3/4"x6 3/4" that showcases the 

Holiday Post stamp and die set purr-fectly! She then adds circles using the Circle Frames die set which includes the sentiment and snowflakes. The striped, colorful paper coordinates wonderfully with Diane's coloring!  

Sue T.'s card is oozing cuteness with her rainbow-colored paper and assortment of mice! The white scallop-edged frame was die cut using the Frames & Flags die set.  Those sweet mice in their long caps are from the Naughty or Mice stamp and die set.  She adds the Noel sentiment from the Sentiments of the Season stamp set on one of the sketch circles.  The metallic bow is a perfect shiny touch!

Becky Noelle uses the ornament images from the Beautiful Baubles stamp and die set to represent the circles in the sketch!  How creative!  She die cuts pine branches in white using the Pines & Holly die set adding beautiful texture behind the ornaments.  She adds a brick embossed panel in light pink. Her sentiment is from the Poinsettia Blooms stamp. Gorgeous!

In bright, brilliant colors, Crystal Komara creates a darling card featuring the Caroling Newton stamp and die set. Those kitties are just so sweet in their red and pink outerwear with the lime green papers in the background. She adds big circles and adds the sentiment from the Caroling Newton and the Sentiments of the Season stamp sets. The lime green twine ties it all up so nicely!

 Debbie Owens brings a fun snowy scene. She uses the Snowfall stencil and paint to create a subtle snowy background. Her vertical stripe is a laminated pouch filled with glitter atop a dark blue foil which creates the illusion of falling snow.  The backdrop is die cut using the postage-edged die from the Framework die set. She adds the trio of felines from the newly released Newton's Snowman stamp set. She adds a speech bubble for the sentiment die cut using the Speech Bubbles die set. She finishes up with some silver snowflakes and some gems.  Darling!
