Amy's FAVE

Inkami was not only our lucky random winner. She is also Amy's Fave! Amy loved the dinosaur with the snowy backdrop!  This little fellow is from the retired Prehistoric Christmas stamp set. Doesn't he look too cute carrying home his holiday tree?  

Claire's FAVE

Claire loved Mugdha's coloring and the fun scene she created using the retired Purr-fect Present and the Puppy Present stamp sets.  So festive with the fireworks in the evening sky!

Crystal's FAVE

Crystal love how Jennifer K. used the white on Kraft with the pops of red!  Jennifer's classy card features Holiday Foliage stencil in the background with the added coffee mug from the   Coffee Silhouttes die set. Wonderfully done!

Danni's FAVE

Danni really liked T. Clary's cute snowman card!  This snow family from the retired Frosty Folks stamp set are sporting some colorful clothing as they enjoy the winter season!  So playful and cute!

Debbie's FAVE

Deb was drawn to the brightness of Irene's fun card!  The bright yellow against the blue looks fabulous for the puppy from the Happy Pawlidays stamp set (Simon Says Stamp-STAMPtember 2024 Collaboration with NND). The starry paper is from the Birthday Meows paper pad. Irene used the A2 Card Layout die to create this festive paw-iday card!

Claire Lamb uses the challenge colors to create this beautiful winter scene!  She creates lots of snow  using the Land Borders die set. Don't you love the oval cut out (Oval Frames die set) and how Claire pop ups the card?  Walking through this beautiful landscape, are two children from the Holiday Home Stamps and Coordinating die set heading home with their gorgeous tree.  Claire stamps the sentiment (Heartfelt Holidays stamp set) on a banner cut using the Banner Trio die set. 

Debbie Owens uses the challenge colors for this playful living room scene! Look at those playful kitties climbing the coral-colored tree!  These little guys are from the newly released Holiday Heights stamp set. She pairs them up with another mischievous kitten from the Purr-fect Present stamp set peeking out from a wrapped box.  To complete her living room scene, Deb adds a stocking from the Holiday Stockings stamp and Stylish Stockings die set. Her sentiment is hung like a picture frame!  So fun!

Diane Morales showcases the newly released Christmas Tree Line stencil.  Look how beautiful those trees are in the challenge colors! {sigh}  She creates her card using the A7 Frames & Banner die set. She adds the sentiment from the Snowflake Oval sentiment on a circle cut using the Circle Frames die set.  Gorgeous!

Amy Tollner uses the challenge colors on this sweet card featuring a fawn from the Festive Fawns stamp and die set.  Those packages might be too pretty to open!  She sets her fawn on a vellum circle cut using the Circle Frames die set.  For her background, Amy uses the Reindeer stencil cut using the scallop-edged frame from the Frames & Flags die set. Cute!

Sue's FAVE

Bad Kitty doesn't stop at one tag. She makes a plethora of tags that are individually unique. To hold all her tags, she even makes a holder for them. Here are the stamp sets she uses starting from top left: Christmas Puppies , A Kitten Christmas, Dear Santa, and Destination Christmas. For the middle Row, she uses A Kitten Christmas, Cup of Cocoa, Sending Hugs with a hat from Newton's Holiday Mischief, and Cup of Cocoa. The bottom row includes sets from Newton's Holiday Mischief, Ornamental Newton (retired), Dear Santa, and Purr-fect Present!  

Amy's FAVE

Melissa creates a darling tag featuring a darling puppy from the Christmas Puppies stamp set and coordinating die set.  She places this sweet puppy on a snowy pattern paper with a textured blue tag base.  Just so cute!

Claire's FAVE

Donna Perisic keeps her scene very CAS allowing her sweetly colored fawn to take center stage.  This fawn is from the Deer Friend stamp and coordinating die set. The crisp blue sky with the scattered snow flurries is bright and fresh, and Donna's red hearts add a nice contrast. The sentiment is perfect for this scene. 

Debbie's FAVE

Meghan Kennihan has a talent for finding just the perfect paper to go with her NND images. For her tag, she selects the image from the Dairy Christmas stamp and die set and colors all the critters wonderfully. She then adds the red, white, green zigzag paper that goes so well with the cow's holiday blanket. Just darling!  

Diane's FAVE

Becky makes a duo of long tags filled with cuteness. For her first tag, she uses the Confetti stencil for her background. Then she adds the champagne lovin' kitty from the Newton's New Year stamp and coordinating die set. Her second tag showcases the Music stencil paired with the kitty from the Purr-fect Present stamp and coordinating die set. Just so cute!

Thank you for playing and making 2021 brighter!

Debbie's FAVE

Amy T.'s glittery paw prints on teal just stole my heart! She uses the Pawprints stencil to create those glittery prints. Using a combination of dies from the Frames Squared set and the Frames & Flags set, Amy creates her layers. Her focal point is that darling puppy from the Canine Christmas stamp set. She adds glitter to his hat and glossy accents to the puppy's nose and dog tag! 


Diane's FAVE

Great colors make Angie's card a top pick!  Using a subtle plaid background of ivory and black, she adds a gingham pattern banner in red and black. She then stamps the ornaments from the Beautiful Baubles stamp set and shades them in the rich garnet and black colors. She stamps her holiday sentiment and adds a sprinkling of sequins for a bit of bling!  Gorgeous!

Sue's FAVE

KT Kitty's mix of papers and textures makes this such a fun, festive holiday card!  For her spotlight element, she uses the kitty from the Newton's Candy Cane stamp and die set. She shades the kitty's scarf in light blue and the candy cane in red and white. She continues this color scheme throughout her card. The little red snowflakes make for a wonderful embellishment. She adds a mini tag on which she stamps the "Naughty or nice?" sentiment from the Newton's Curious Christmas stamp set and ties a red & white twine bow as a final touch. 


Becky's FAVE

Amanda's color scheme and use of plaid and pattern papers makes this such a sweet card.  Amanda die cuts her red plaid paper using the Framework die set. She continues to add her layers using a green plaid banner and a faux crossed-stitched paper. The sweet deer from the Festive Fawn stamp and die set is the perfect choice with it's green wreath and red ribbon.


Bobbi's FAVE

Vicki Lynn creates a peppermint candy masterpiece! She begins with a red and white striped paper.  She adds a scalloped-edge white frame and red rectangle center. She adds a horizontal layer of peppermint candies using the candy image from Newton's Candy Cane stamp and die set. She then adds the festive feline from the same set and colors him in light browns.  She adds the sentiment in a speech bubble as her final touch!

Bobbi Lemanski makes this delicious square card using the
Cup of Cocoa stamp and die set. She creates a striped circle and stamps a a holiday sentiment from the Ornamental Wishes stamp set.  The colorful whipped creams and dimensional dots creates an amazingly fantastic holiday card!

Debbie Owens brings holiday joy using the Holiday Fringe stamp set. Using the  Frames Squared die set, she adds a scalloped frame beneath. She adds holly leaves and pines from the Pines & Holly die set before adding the kitty peaking from his box from the Purr-fect Present stamp set. She cuts the Joyful sentiment from the Main Street Christmas die set multiple times and stacks them to give dimension to the sentiment. She adds a jewel to dot the J for her final touch. Fun and festive!

Diane Morales' Merry & Bright shaker card is so festive! She uses the Frames Squared die set to create her card base. Using the challenge colors in bright hues, she wonderfully shades the Holiday Fringe stamp set image and die cuts a heart in the middle. She adds sequins for her shaker elements. Using the Frames & Flags die set, she creates a mini banner and adds the holiday sentiment.

With the weather getting colder, Sue T.'s card will inspire you to pull out your snuggly sweaters to embrace the season!  Her light snow showers in pink and teal were made using the Petite Snow stencil. She adds two little critters wrapped in their sweaters from the  Sweater Weather stamp and die set. Such a sweet card!

Becky Noelle creates this amazing card using a combination of dies and a stencil!  Her beautiful background using the Holiday Foliage stencil is the perfect setting for the teal ornament (Ornament Shaker Die set).  Pairing the Holiday Greetings die set with the
Pines & Holly die set, Becky adds accents to the ornament. Great job, Becky!
