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

Amy Tollner uses the napping Newton from the Newton's Naptime stamp set who is enjoying his nap atop a stack of blankets in hues of the rainbow!  For even more rainbow fun, she uses the Meow stencil to create a "wallpaper" for her room that also includes a pretty blue hardwood floor (Hardwood stencil-retiring).  She uses a sentiment as well as the toy mouse and food dish from the Welcome New Cat stamp and die set.  For the postage-edging she uses the main die from the Framework die set. A colorful way to send some love!

Claire Lamb's variegated skeins of yarn in rainbow colors seem to make her little fur balls quite happy!  Those little fur balls are from the Newton Unwinds stamps & coordinating die set.

Claire Lamb creates the cutest Valentine's card using the Newton's Naptime stamp and die set. She creates a mile-high stack of blankets in shades of pinks and reds for her little princess kitty to sleep upon. She adds a red heart (Heart Frames die set) as well as the sentiment on a thought bubble (Speech Bubbles die set). Such a creative way to utilize this stamp set!

Debbie Owens showcases two darling robots from the Love Bots stamp set. She pairs them with designer papers from the Love & Meows paper pad. To create all her layers she uses several die sets. They include: Heart Frames die set, Framework die set, Frames & Flags die set, and the A7 Frames & Banners die set. A darling Valentine's card!

Diane Morales also uses the sweet robots from the Love Bots stamp and die set, but with a caffeinated twist. She adds a latte cup from the Pumpkin Latte stamp and die set for her boy bot to give to his girlfriend! She continues the coffee twist by pulling the sentiment from the Love Cafe stamp set. She uses two die sets. The Circle Frames die set is used for the card shape, and the Land Borders die set is utilized for the grass. Just love the coffee twist!

Amy Tollner is also inspired to use the Love Bots stamp and die set. She, though, pulls the kitty and dog bot images for her Valentine's card who are looking so cute on the red heart (Heart Frames die set). She creates a custom background by stamping the candy heart image (Candy Heart stamp set) repeatedly. She uses two additional die sets. For the postage-edging, she uses the Framework die set. For the little banner, she uses the A7 Frames & Banners die set. So cute!
