Claire Lamb creates a wheel card that has the weather changing in a blink of an eye!  Her trio of friends are all decked out in their rain slickers from the Newton's Rainy Day Trio stamp and die set are all ready for a fun day in any weather! This is such a clever card that is sure to delight the recipient of this delightful card!

Debbie Owens makes a fun puppy card! She creates a wood grain frame using the Hardwood stencil. Then she uses the Framework die set to create a frame. Using the Sky Borders  die set, she makes a cloudy yellow sky with green hills in the background using the Land Borders die set. She adds two tall fir trees and a black crow die cut using the Forest Scene Builder die set.  A little fluffy cloud was added using the Sky Scene Builders die set.  For main finale, she adds the darling duo from the Puppy Pals stamp set. A super  fun friendship card!

Diane Morales designs the sweetest friendship card! On her scallop-edged frame die cut using the Frames & Flags die set, she has added a rainbow of pastel flowers using the Petite Flowers stencil.  She adds the stitched heart with the adorable sentiment using a die from the Heart Frames die set. Her duo of lightly colored kittens from the Smitten Kittens stamp and die set look adorable. She adds a few little pastel hearts for good measure!  Sweetness!

A good glass of wine paired with a good friend is a perfect way to spend one's time, and Sue T.'s card showcases this idea wonderfully. She stamps a trio of wine glasses from the Wine a Little stamp and die set and pops them up with dimensional tape on her embossed card base.  She adds a little strip of Washi tape before adding the sentiment.  Nicely done, Sue!

Amy T. uses the Sunscape stencil to create a sunset in pinks and purples for her napping friends from the Porch Swing Frinds stamp and coordinating die set. She adds a few bird silhouettes in the background using the birds from the Serene Silhouettes stamp set. She places this scene on a wood grain background using the Hardwood stencil. She stamps the sentiment on a banner using the Frames & Flags die set. Using the flower and leaf dies from the Slimline Frames & Porthole die set, she adds a pink and purple flower.  Such a wonderful combination of NND products!

Sue T. uses the newly released Slimline Masking Circles and Squares stencil set and the Clouds stencil to create two panels of beautiful lavender clouds.  A beautiful backdrop for her fresh yellow daisies from the 

Dainty Daisies stamp and die cut using the coordinating die.  She pulls the sentiment from the Floral Roundabout stamp set.

Sparkly bunnies in the background provides the perfect backdrop for this trio of bunnies in their colorful envelopes!  Amy T. begins this darling card using just one layer of the Bunny Tails stencil with glitter paste! Using the scallop-edge frame from the Slimline Frames & Portholes die, she cuts her shimmery, bunny backdrop and adheres to a lavender card base.  She then stamps the bunnies from the Hare Mail mini stamp set and cuts using the coordinating die.  She colors each envelope in one of the challenge colors while leaving the bunnies white.  Once adhered, she adds the punny sentiment. Cuteness times three!

Claire Lamb uses the Circle Frames die set to create a fabulous crescent moon and shadow that works perfectly with the newly released Baa stamp and die set.  On her moon, she subtly adds some craters using the Bubbly stencil and lightly distressing.  How clever!  She adds some clouds, also lightly distressed, for her darling lambs.  Her fun coloring of the lambs makes them look super fluffy.  A few scattered, white stars finishes her scene.  The sentiment pulls her sleepy scene together for a wonderfully designed card!

 Debbie Owens' trio will having you singing in the rain!  She begins her CAS card using texture paste with the Raindrops stencil to create subtle raindrops in the background.  She then stamps and fussy cuts the trio of kittens from the Newton's Rainy Trio stamp set and uses colored pencils to color their rain jackets and boots in the challenge colors.  Glossy Accent was added to the boots and umbrellas.  A bright, cheerful card to sing in the new season!

Diane Morales utilizes the Frames Squared die set to create her card filled with Easter cheer. She uses a lavender card based and the Basketweave stencil to distress the basket design. Shen then die cuts the center using the Heart Frames die set and pops it up with some dimensional foam.  She creates the Easter scene using the Land Borders die set for the lime green grass and the bunny from the newly released Hoppy Greetings stamp set. She cuts the image using the coordinating die set. She pulls one of the fun sentiments from the set to place on the sign. A fabulous design to send Easter wishes!
