Amy's FAVE

Gail's little bear from the Woodland Picnic stamp set looks darling against the patriotic stars of her pattern paper. She die cuts using the stamp-edged die from the Framework die set. Super cute!

Claire's FAVE

Using the heart with the flames in it is a wonderful way to use the sketch!  Dayna then adds the little fire engine from the Love Emergency stamp and the coordinating die set.  She coordinates everything with some fab pattern papers!  On fire is right!

Debbie's FAVE

Meghan serves up a darling caffeinated scene using some of NND's amazing coffee products!  She pulls several papers from the Coffee House Stories paper pad and adds a scallop-square die cut (Frames Squared die set).  She adds not one, but two, darling kittens from the Newton Loves Coffee and coordinating die set. Brew-tastic!

Diane's FAVE 

Maria's card is just in time to celebrate all the graduates!  The calico cat from Newton's Graduation stamp set is looking quite proud with his diploma. Maria uses some fabulous papers and adds the little tassel that is just purrfect for the occasion!  Congrats!

Sue's FAVE

Inkami vibrant seashells from the Seashell Roundabout stamp set look fabulous with waves in the background and the bubbly paper. Darling!

Need to get inspired? See what our Inspiration Team created with this challenge!   

Rustic meets glam in Crystal Komara's Easter card. She selects a kraft card base and adds a country floral paper in coral colors. On the scallop-edged circle she stamps and lightly shades the flowers from the Easter Lily stamp set.  She combines the rustic element of a jute bow with the glamour of a gold banner.  Beautifully done!

 Feeling trapped inside?  Debbie Owens' card will have you dreaming of iconic destinations when the travel bans are lifted!  Combining images from the Newton Dreams of Italy, Newton Dreams of Paris, and Newton Dreams of New York stamp sets, she stamps images on postage die cuts using  the Framework die set. For her circular element, she adds Newton exploring the globe from the Newton's Graduation stamp set.  She places her elements atop map pattern paper. See that cute passport?  It's from the Stowaway Newton stamp set. Until you get to travel, stay safe!

Can't visit your loved ones?  Diane Morales' card would definitely makes someone's day! She starts with a royal blue card base and adds a fun zigzag paper. Then using the Land Borders die set, she turns it on it's side and adds a dump truck from the Love Quarry stamp and die set . She stamps her sentiment on kraft paper and adds a couple of hearts!  A darling way to send love!

Sue T. designs a beautiful Easter card. She uses the Petite Flowers stencil and distress inks in pastel colors. She layers with a pink pattern paper. She cuts her banner in a yellow paper using the Frames & Flags die set. Her main attraction is that darling bunny from the Hop into Spring stamp and die set who is hiding in the tulips and grass from the Land Borders die set. She pulls the No Peeking sentiment form the Newton's Curious Christmas stamp set.  A delightful way to celebrate Easter!

 Becky Noelle begins her card using textured paste with the Floral Lace stencil. She adds a scalloped circle with a trio of Woodland Spring stamp set enjoying the sunny day. She adds grass from the Land Borders die set.  Don't you love the added stitching?  A wonderful way to send a greeting to someone special!

Sue T. demonstrates what you can do by repeatedly stamping and embossing!  Just wow!  She creates this jewel using the Garden Cottage stamp set. She creates her background frame using Frames & Flags die set. Just love the blue and white colors!

Becky Noelle embosses stitching on her kraft background that provides the purr-fect background for these two mischievous kittens from the Newton Unwinds stamp set to play. If you look closely, Becky actually added yarn to her stamped images!  Wow, so fun!

Debbie Owens has Newton globe-trotting the world by using travel-themed paper and a combination of Newton's Nook stamps. She begins by using the Framework die set to create the layered background and stripe. She then colors Newton from the Newton's Graduation stamp set and adds some luggage from the Loveable Llamas stamp set. She finishes with a touch of twine.

Diane Morales has Newton cooking away in his kitchen with this brightly colored card. She uses a fun pattern paper to create her background using the Frames & Flags die set. She creates her green, scalloped stripe using the Sky Borders die set, which is an excellent to stretch your dies. She then die cuts a heart and adds Newton from the Newton's Kitchen stamp set.
