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

Crystal Minkler is beach bound in her red VW Bug! She showcases this cute card from the Beach Bound stamp and coordinating die set and creates a tropical scene with fun papers from the Summertime paper pad. She uses the A2 Card Layout Die Set to create the frame. So much summer cuteness!

Danni Bindel showcases a very lazy Newton from the Newton's Summer Vacation stamp and coordinating die set who is languorously enjoying a summer day on his floatie! Danni uses papers from the Summertime paper pad with dies from the Sea Borders and the Sky Scene Builder die sets to create the sky and layers of waves. She adds postage-edging from the Framework die set. Anyone else want to join Newton on his lazy river adventure?

Debbie Owens showcases the tiny crab from the Tides of Love stamp set who is enjoying a day of collecting seashells. Deb uses the Frames & Tags Die Set to create her layout, and she uses the Seashells Stencil to create those pretty seashells. She pulls a sentiment from the Summer Moments stamp set. Such a fun way to showcase this little guy!

Amy Tollner showcases a trio of beach-bound vehicles from the Beach Bound stamp and coordinating die set. She showcases them on palm tree paper from the Summertime paper pad. She uses dies from the Frames & Tags Die Set to create her layout. Which vehicle would you choose to go to the beach?

Claire Lamb showcases Newton's pretty hanging basket filled with summer leaves. Her beautiful distressing compliments Newton and his basket from the Newton's Hanging Basket stamp and coordinating die set. She uses the Basic Frames die set to create the stitching on her panel.

Danielle's amazing underwater scene is a scuba diver's paradise! Danielle colors Newton and the underwater wonders (Scuba Newton stamp and coordinating die set) amazingly! Fabulously done, Danielle!

Debbie's FAVE

Jennifer K.'s underwater scene caught Debbie's eye. Jennifer creates a tranquil watery scene just right for the two manatees from the retiring Manatee-rific stamp and die set. The little shadows of fish in the background and the added seaweed add to the charm of Jennifer's card.

Amy's FAVE

Dandi93 delights us with her fabulously colored trio of felines. She creates a beach scene filled with furry friends from the Newton's Summer Vacation stamp and coordinating die set. From taking in some rays to rafting in the waves, Dandi's card captures the spirit of summer in her box card!

Debbie's FAVE

Jennifer K. also used the challenge colors for a summery card. Her card features the goat from the retiring Floaty Goat stamp set enjoying a day relaxing at the pool.  The dashed-concentric circles resembled the rippling waves after splashing in a pool. So refreshing and fun!

Diane's FAVE

Diane loved Avra's ink blending on this sweet spring card. Avra used the Spring Garden Line stencil to create a garden filled with golden daffodils just perfect for the little mouse and butterfly from the Garden Mice stamp and coordinating die set to play in.  

Amy's FAVE

Amy loved how Helen F. used the Newton from the Newton's Donut stamp set to peek through the flora created using the Floral Fringe stamp set.  Helen also adds in a shaker element and an embossed panel to get her card texture and movement!  For her sentiment, she pulls one from the Lilac stamp set. Love it!

Claire's FAVE

 Claire loves the combination of plaid and flowers on Dayna A.'s darling card. Dayna creates a circle card base (inspired by our very own Diane) and partially covers it with blue and yellow plaid paper. She then adds the sprig of daisies from the Dainty Daisies stamp and coordinating die set. She sprinkles a few little yellow blooms for balance for a beautifully designed card!

Crystal's FAVE

Melanie H.'s CAS design and punny sentiment made this fabulous card Crystal's favorite.  Melanie partially and subtly distresses the background in the challenge colors, then adds a bold cactus from the Cuppa Cactus stamp set in a blue and yellow mug.  The sentiment is definitely punny and may be very appropriate for some people in our lives! 😊

Crystal O. Minkler's darling card features one of the sweet mice from the Garden Mice stamp and coordinating die set. She pairs him with yellow polka-dotted paper from the Springtime paper pad. Her vellum circle was created using the Circle Frame die set.  Super fun and cute!

Debbie Owens uses the challenge colors for this sweet beach scene set on a circular card (Circle Frame die set). She uses the red striped paper from the Love & Meows paper pad. She colors the little crab red and kitten gray. Both are from the Kitten Beach stamp set. The sentiment comes from the Newton's Summer Vacation stamp set. Super fun way to use the colors!

Diane Morales brings us a pretty and elegant tag. She adds texture using the Basketweave stencil. She then pulls the gray heart paper from the Coffee House Stories paper pad.  Those pretty flowers are from the Dainty Daisies stamp and coordinating die set. The red banner with the sentiment adds a nice pop of color. Lovely!

Amy Tollner's card is just in time for Valentine's Day!  She adds yellow hearts for her background using the Tumbling Hearts stencil and cut using the scallop-edged frame from the  Frames & Flags die set. She layers on a duo of banners and adds the super cute feline from the Newton's Heart stamp and coordinating die set. Sweet!

Claire Lamb features two playful kitties from the Newton Unwinds stamp and coordinating die set.  Her CAS layout is purr-fect as is the use of the challenge colors!  The shiny "Meow" adds a nice touch of sparkle (Pawprint Shaker die set). Wonderfully done!
