Need to get inspired? See what our Inspiration Team created with this challenge! 

Debbie Owens creates a very bright and bold card using the Quatrefoil stencil with green and blue distress inks.  She uses the Frames Squared die set to create the scallop-edging.  She adds a pair of bright lemons from the Lemon Twist stamp set. She adds the sentiment on a banner (Slimline Frames & Banners die set). Super fun!

Diane Morales creates the cutest round card filled with ocean delights!  She uses the Sunscape stencil to create her rays of sunshine.  Then she uses the Sea Borders die set to create her layers of ocean waves. She then uses the Shark Bites stamp set to add some white to her waves. Enjoying those waves and rays are a pair of seagulls from the Gull Friends stamp and coordinating die set. Diane finds a fabulous sentiment in the Beach Bound stamp set that works perfectly!

Amy Tollner's card is also filled with a sunny sky.  She adds a bunch of little clouds using the Petite Clouds stencil. She adds green grass using the Land Borders die set and the sun from the Sky Scene Builder die set.  Enjoying this sunny day are the little ducks and the kitty from the Newton's Rain Boots stamp and coordinating  die set. Amy adds some fluttering butterflies from the Newton's Birdbath stamp and coordinating die set.  Amy also uses the A7 Frames & Banners die set to create the scallop-edging!  so cute!!

Claire Lamb designs this darling floral card!  She pulls the yellow gingham paper from the Spring Blooms paper pad and pairs it with the Spring Blooms Oval stamp set. Her beautiful flowers look so pretty with the white scallop edging (Oval Frames die set). Such a pretty, fresh take on the challenge colors!

Crystal Minkler's card is so cute with the plaid background (Plaid stencil set) and the tall stack of books!  This cute feline is from the All Booked Up stamp and coordinating die set.  Crystal uses the frame die from the Frames & Flags die set to create the scallop edging.  What a great card for someone having a ruff day!

We have lots of inspiration to get you ready for spring and this challenge!

Diane Morales' butterfly-filled card is just precious! Her cute kitten is from the Captivated Kittens stamp and coordinating die set, and he looks so cute with the butterfly paper from the Springtime paper pad. For even more fluttering fun, she adds butterflies using the Gnome Garden stamp and coordinating die set. Also tucked in there is an scallop-edged oval using the Oval Frames die set. Sure hope this little guy catches one of those cute butterflies!

Amy Tollner fills her background with beautiful pink blooms using the retiring Bold Blooms stencil which she cuts using the scallop-edged frame from the A7 Frames & Banners die set. She breaks up her floral background with a three-panel frame and places all the sweet critters from the retiring Woodland Spring stamp and coordinating die set around the edges. She adds some extra flowers and some bling making this an absolutely darling spring card!

Claire Lamb's card will have you yearning for a nice, warm, sunny spring day to take a relaxing walk with your puppies! Her rays of sunshine were made using the Sunscape Stencil, and the quintet of puppies are from the Walking Woofs stamp set. With tons of masking, Claire makes a floral path using the flowers from the Cycling Friends stamp set. Such a darling and happy card!

Crystal Minkler gives us the flip side of spring--those wonderful spring showers that pave the way for the flowers! She pulls the cloudy paper from the Springtime paper pad and continues with some clouds on her postage-edged frame layer (Framework die set) using the Petite Clouds stencil. The best part of April showers? Getting to wear fashionable rain boots, and her lavender ones are so, so cute! This darling calico kitty and ducky are from the Newton's Rain Boots stamp set and coordinating die set. Dare I say, "Bring on the rain!" LOL

Debbie Owens also showcases the darling kitty and ducky from the Newton's Rain Boots stamp set. Unlike Claire's pretty lavender rain boots, Deb goes for some bold red ones, which are just as cute! Deb uses scraps from the Springtime paper pad to create the fun background which she die cuts using the scallop-edged die from the Framework die set. She stamps her sentiment pulled from the Floral Roundabout stamp set on a banner (Banner Trio die set). A fun, colorful way to celebrate spring!
