Amy's FAVE

Redbird uses the rainbow theme by making her firework display super colorful.  Riding through those fiery blooms (Fireworks stencil) is Newton (Newton's 4th of July stamp and coordinating die set) riding bravely on his rocket!  The coordinating envelope is a super fun touch!

Claire's FAVE

Marianne won over Claire with rainbow hearts. Marianne uses the Newton's Heart stamp and coordinating die set and uniquely colors the hearts in colors of the rainbow. Behind them she subtly adds more hearts with the Bokeh Hearts stencil set. Adding the white-embossed sentiment on black adds a nice dramatic touch!  

Crystal's FAVE

Crystal loved how Maria creates a rainbow using the Sunscape stencil. Riding through the kaleidoscope of colors is Newton with his rainbow scarf. This cute guy is from the Newton Scoots By stamp and die set. A fun way to incorporate rainbow colors into one's design!

Debbie's FAVE

Debbie loves how Moments of Crafting created a rainbow of fruity cocktails!.  These colorful drinks were created using the Cocktail Mixer stamp set. The water coloring beneath them was a fabulous way to continue the rainbow theme!

Diane's FAVE

Ingen repeatedly stamped her birthday sentiment (Birthday Roundabout stamp set) in shades of the rainbow. She then adds Newton in his rainbow-colored striped gift bag (Newton's Birthday Bash stamp set) and colorful tissue paper is a purr-fect way to send birthday greetings. Such a fun CAS design!

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!

Here'a a refresher.

Use the colors Crimson Red, Cobalt Blue, Turquoise Blue, and white with your NND products.

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

With patriotic floral paper, Debbie Owens mimics the flowers by combining the Roses and Dainty Daisies stamp sets. She die cuts her layers using the scallop-edged frame from the Frames & Flags die set, and stamps the sentiment from the Birthday Essentials stamp on a white banner. The jute twine adds a nice country touch!

Diane Morales has Newton (Newton's 4th of July stamp and die set) enjoying the holiday! Diane uses papers from the Coffee House Stories and the Love & Meows paper pads with dies from the Circle Frames and Frames & Flags die sets to create her festive layout. This fun card could be used for the 4th of July or a birthday! 

Sue T. uses the firework blooms from the Newton's 4th of July stamp and coordinating die set to create the festive background. The kitten and puppy from this same set look like they are enjoying the festivities in their little red wagon!  A spattering of gems and star-shaped jewels add the purr-fect bit of shimmer!

Amy Tollner has her kitten (Newton's 4th of July stamp and die set) rocketing through a shimmery nighttime sky filled with fireworks (Fireworks stencil). She uses the large frame die from the Framework die set to achieve the postage-edging. She finishes with a sentiment from the Birthday Essentials stamp set and some sequins!

Claire Lamb uses the challenge colors in a very unique and beautiful way. She pulls the blue jay from the Winter Birds stamp and coordinating die set and places him among layers of beautiful blue leaves (Fall Friends die set) and red holly sprigs. Look closely and you'll spy some snowflakes made using the Petite Snow stencil. Spectacular!

Diane Morales takes us under the sea with this a-meow-zing card!  She creates the watery background using the Waves stencil and adds a big white wave using the Sea Borders die set.  In shades of red and shades of blue are the two darling purr-maids from the Purr-Maid Newton stamp and die set. Such a creative use of the challenge colors!

Sue T. brings more 4th of July fireworks with this festive CAS card!  Using the Fireworks stencil, she adds red and blue firework blooms. Zooming past is Newton from the Newton's 4th of July stamp and die set on his very own rocket! She adds the sentiment in a speech bubble using the Speech Bubbles die set.  Ka-boom!

Amy Tollner creatively uses the Newton's Naptime stamp set for her red, white, and blue card!  Newton is snuggled atop a pile of patriotic blankets fast asleep with sparkling stars (Cascading Stars stencil) shining in the background. She uses the Frames & Flags die set to create her sentiment banner.  Fabulous!

Claire Lamb celebrates the 4th of July with lots of shimmer with her amazing card using the A7 Frames & Banners die set.

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

Sue T.'s flowery card is sure to brighten anyone's day! Using the Bold Bloom stencil and Circle Frames die set, Sue creates her circle element that looks amazing in the soft yellow. She then adds a sprig of daisies using the Dainty Daisies stamp and coordinating die set. For even more texture, she has embossed lines tinted in yellow on the card base. Love it!

Sunshine, butterflies, and a puppy, Amy Tollner's card couldn't get cuter! Using the Sunscape stencil and Circle Frames die set, Amy makes a spring setting for her puppy and butterfly friend from the Puppy Friends stamp and die set. She even throws in an extra friend using the butterfly from the Newton's Picnic stamp and die set. Those sweet pink and purple butterflies are made using the Butterflies stencil set. Don't they compliment her sweet spring scene?  So cute!

 Claire Lamb's fabulous, feline card is utterly adorable!  Using the Sky Borders die set, Claire makes pretty puffy clouds which look amazing against her pinkish-purple sky. Her little Siamese kitten from the Newton's Birthday Balloons stamp and die set will bring smiles as he delivers his special purr-thday message. 

 

Debbie Owens skips spring and gets us ready to celebrate the 4th of July using the patriotic cat image from the Newton's 4th of July stamp set with fireworks (Fireworks stencil) booming in the background. She continues the festive theme with red, white, and blue papers die cut using the Circle Frames die set. Pulling the mini-banner die from the A7 Frames & Borders die set, she stamps the 'celebrate' sentiment. Super festive and fun!

Diane Morales's bright, cheerful backdrop (Sunscape stencil) makes a perfect setting for the retro-trailer from the Cozy Campers stamp and coordinating die set. Tucked behind the camper is some spring grass die cut using the Land Borders die set. She stamps the sentiment on a banner die cut using the Slimeline Windows & Frames die set. A darling card for camping friends or someone moving into a new house!

Claire Lamb has her kitten making snow angels on a snowy day! With a pretty snowy sky and hills of snow made using the Land Borders die set, Claire adds a rainbow scarf and coordinating hat to her kitten from the Snow Angel Newton stamp and die set.  She adds banners using the Frames & Flags die set. A darling way to spend a day!  

Debbie Owens' card has Newton aiming for twinkling stars. She creates her starry sky using the Starfield stencil and gold foil. She continues the gold theme by die cutting a gold frame using the Framework die set.  Flying across the sky is Newton from the Newton's 4th of July stamp set. A fun sentiment from the Cosmic Newton stamp completes her fun card!

Diane Morales creates a fun Valentine's card just perfect for a little (or not so little) boy! She uses the Tumbling Hearts stencil to create her background of hearts. Then uses the  Circle Frames and the Frames & Flags die sets to create the black banner and circle frame.  She features the backhoe and safety cone images from the Love Quarry stamp and die set. A darling interpretation of the sketch!

Sue T.'s card is just so pretty with all the pink!  She uses the Tumbling Hearts stencil for her center panel and adds the playful kitty from the Newton's Valentine stamp and die set. The polka-dotted heart is so cute!  To complete her card, Sue uses the Frames & Flags die set for her white panel layer and her pink banners. She uses a die from the  Speech Bubble die for her sentiment. So Valentine-y!

Amy Tollner gives us a beautiful snowflake card in blues and silver! She uses silver glitter paper for her banners (die cut using the Frames & Flags die set) and background layer. Using the Beautiful Blizzard stamp set, she heat embosses the fragile snowflakes in white and distresses the background in shades of blue.  She heat embosses the sentiment on a little banner using the Banner Trio die set. Such a beautiful, sparkly card!
