Diane's FAVE

Sue creates this fun, festive card using Newton's Christmas Cuddles stamp set. We love the unique card design and how she fussy cut Newton poking his head out of the box. The added strip of striped paper pulls everything together!  The sentiment is from Newton's Birthday Bash stamp set.
