Debbie Owens designs a uses papers from the Farmyard paper pad to create this farm-filled card. Enjoying the scenery is our beloved Newton from the Farmer Newton stamp set with a trio of chickens from the Cluck stamp set.  She adds the sentiment to a banner created using the Banner Trio die set.  So fun!

Amy Tollner designs a wonderful get-well card featuring two felines from the Newton's Sick Day stamp and coordinating die set. She adds a trio of mini-heart papers from the Pastel Basics paper pad and completes the card with a sentiment on a tag using the Frames & Tags die set. Loving that blue bandage!

Claire Lamb adds a bit of Zen to her card featuring the furry friend from the Newton's Reading List stamp and coordinating die set. She opts for papers from the Coffee House Stories paper pad that coordinate with the feline's pile of books.  She used the stitched die from the Basic Frames die set. Too cute!

Crystal Minkler is getting ready for the holidays which are quickly sneaking up on us! For her card, she pulls papers from the Christmas Time apaper pad and pairs them with the clowder of felines from the Cat Christmas Tree stamp and coordinating die set. Crystal substitues an oval the center element using the Oval Frames die set.  Just love all those strands of lights!

Danni Bindel also was feeling the farming vibe and uses the Farmer Newton stamp and coordinating die set. She pulls a fabulous assortment of papers from the Farmyard paper pad that coordinate wonderfully. To create some layers, she uses dies from the Basic Frames and the Framework die set. Don't you love how Newton's bib-overalls match the tractor? 😸

Debbie Owens creates this whimsical puppy card by combining the holiday bone paper from the Canine Christmas paper pad with the playful puppy from the Christmas Puppies stamp set. She uses the Framework die set to create the postage-edging on both panels. She places her sentiment on the stitiched ticket and adds a sparkly red bow (Pines & Holly die set). Darling!

Amy Tollner also showcases the puppy from the Christmas Puppies stamp and die set. She pulls different papers from the Canine Christmas paper pad and places her sentiment on an oval using hte Oval Frames die set.  Don't you love how Deb and Amy use the same image and paper pad and designed two darlingly different cards?  

Claire Lamb opts to showcase a kitten instead of puppies. For her card, she creates a cozy living room scene using the newly released Cozy Home stamp set.  She adds the brown striped paper from the Coffee House Stories paper pad. Such a brilliant way to interpret the challenge sketch!

Crystal Minkler makes this festive holiday card by flipping the sketch for a vertical card. She uses papers from the Christmas Time paper pad and cuts the polka dotted panel using the Frames & Flags die set.  Her main attraction are those shiny bells from the Bells & Holly stamp and coordinating die set. She stamps her sentiment on an oval using the Oval Frames die set. Beautiful!

Danni Bindel creates a get well card using the Newton's Sick Day Stamp Set and Matching Dies. Those fun papers are from the A Cat's Life paper pad. She uses the Frames & Flags die set to create her scallop-edging and the Oval Frames die set for her sentiment.  A wonderful way to help someone get feeling better!

Claire's FAVE

Priscilla awed us with how she combined the Tropical Fish (retiring) stencil set with a stripe stencil that makes it look like sunlight is filtering through the water!  Wow!  She then leaves her mermaid from the Mermaid Crossing (Retired) stamp and die set outlined in blue.  Very stunning, Priscilla!

Debbie's FAVE

Sandi brings us a bold, graphic shark card featuring a scarily cute shark from the Shark Bites stamp and coordinating die set. We liked her use of blue stripes in the backdrop as well as those little sharks circling around.  Fabulously done, Sandi!

Karen also uses a scarily cute shark from the Shark Bites stamp and coordinating die set.  We love her creative use of the Serene Stripes stencil for her ocean and her bold yellow and blue colors!  Very eye-catching, Karen!

Sue's FAVE

A. Rose's sweet card to thank our healthcare professionals caught our eyes with its CAS style.  The wavy red and white striped circle behind the feline nurse is a creative way to add stripes, and Newton is looking stunning in his professional healthcare attire.  This fun image is from the Newton's Sick Day stamp set.  Great work, A. Rose!

Bhavya's  take on the sketch by making two of the windows into balloons was wildly creative!  Behind those bright balloons you'll spy some fun pink clouds distressed while using the Clouds stencil. She adds the sweet felines from the Newton's Sweetheart stamp and die set and adds the white embossed sentiment on a black banner.  Adorable!

Becky's FAVE

Amy T. uses fluorescent colors for all her scary images from the Spooky Skeletons stamp and die set. She adds them to her spectacular background and shimmery black frame die cut from the Slimline Frames & Portholes die set.  Look in those portholes and see all the spooky images from the Spooky Street stamp set. A spook-tacular way to celebrate Halloween!

Crystal's FAVE

Joyce M. creatively uses the sketch to look through windows and see what her furry friends are up to!  For two of her windows, we can see the kitties from the Newton's Book Club stamp set inside enjoying some books. Don't you love those yellow gingham curtains?  Her center window has us looking outside to see the puppy and kitty from the Porch Swing Friends stamp set enjoying an afternoon nap!  So clever!

Debbie's FAVE

Betty Tollner's use of two very different stamp sets makes for a fabulous get well card!  She uses the Slimline Frames & Portholes die set to set the stage with fun papers and colors. Her doctor from the Newton's Sick Day stamp and die set looks like she has her paws full with the injured kitten (same set) and gingerbread man from the Ginger Snap stamp set, often reserved for the winter holidays. The addition of the medical supplies adds fun touches to the get well message!

Diane's FAVE

Rebecca W. creates a spectacular background using the scallop-edged frame from the Slimline Frames & Portholes die set Don't you love how it goes from the sky, waterline, and sandy beach?  She selects the perfect images from the Newton's Summer Vacation stamp and die set for each natural element.  A superbly designed summer card!
