Diane Morales serves up birthday greetings straight from the barnyard!  Set on an oval card base (Oval Frames die set), Diane adds floating pink balloons in her pink sky (Balloon stencil set)! She then adds her landscape using the Land Borders die set. She adds a trio of farm critters from the Oink stamp and die set, Moo stamp and die set, and Bleat stamp and die set all decked out in their birthday hats!  What a way to celebrate someone's special day!

Sue T. gets her birthday party started by die cutting her embossed background with the postage-edged die from the Framework die set. She then layers on a rainbow-colored tiered cake from the Newton Loves Cake stamp and die set. She stamps her sentiment in a speech bubble (Speech Bubbles die set) and sprinkles some gems on for a bit of glam!  Time to slice that cake!

Amy Tollner's slimline card is filled to the top with birthday cuteness!  Beginning with big, fluffy clouds (Clouds stencil), Amy adds a trio of colorful balloons (Fabulous Frenchies stamp and die set) floating above her playful kittens from the Newton's Blooms stamp and die set.  Look closely and you'll spy a little ladybug enjoying the fresh, green grass die cut using the Land Borders die set.  Her entire scene has been die cut using the scallop-edged frame die from the Slimline Frames & Portholes die set.  If that wasn't enough cuteness, Amy adds a bumblebee and a duo of butterflies!  

Claire Lamb begins with white confetti (Confetti stencil) on her white card base. She adds a peach distressed layer on which Newton from the Newton's Cupcake stamp and die set is looking quite happy with his buttercream-frosted chocolate cupcake in its dark peach polka-dotted cake liner!  Do you think Newton will be willing to share? 😺

 Debbie Owens uses a kitten from the Smitten Kittens stamp set with a birthday hat from the Newton's Birthday Bash stamp set. She places him on festive circles die cut using the Circle Frames die set on which she has stamped the image from the Birthday Roundabout stamp set on one. She stamps "It's your day!" on a banner from the Banner Trio die set. The "Celebrate" sentiment is from the Birthday Essentials stamp set. Super festive!

Claire Lamb creates a wheel card that has the weather changing in a blink of an eye!  Her trio of friends are all decked out in their rain slickers from the Newton's Rainy Day Trio stamp and die set are all ready for a fun day in any weather! This is such a clever card that is sure to delight the recipient of this delightful card!

Debbie Owens makes a fun puppy card! She creates a wood grain frame using the Hardwood stencil. Then she uses the Framework die set to create a frame. Using the Sky Borders  die set, she makes a cloudy yellow sky with green hills in the background using the Land Borders die set. She adds two tall fir trees and a black crow die cut using the Forest Scene Builder die set.  A little fluffy cloud was added using the Sky Scene Builders die set.  For main finale, she adds the darling duo from the Puppy Pals stamp set. A super  fun friendship card!

Diane Morales designs the sweetest friendship card! On her scallop-edged frame die cut using the Frames & Flags die set, she has added a rainbow of pastel flowers using the Petite Flowers stencil.  She adds the stitched heart with the adorable sentiment using a die from the Heart Frames die set. Her duo of lightly colored kittens from the Smitten Kittens stamp and die set look adorable. She adds a few little pastel hearts for good measure!  Sweetness!

A good glass of wine paired with a good friend is a perfect way to spend one's time, and Sue T.'s card showcases this idea wonderfully. She stamps a trio of wine glasses from the Wine a Little stamp and die set and pops them up with dimensional tape on her embossed card base.  She adds a little strip of Washi tape before adding the sentiment.  Nicely done, Sue!

Amy T. uses the Sunscape stencil to create a sunset in pinks and purples for her napping friends from the Porch Swing Frinds stamp and coordinating die set. She adds a few bird silhouettes in the background using the birds from the Serene Silhouettes stamp set. She places this scene on a wood grain background using the Hardwood stencil. She stamps the sentiment on a banner using the Frames & Flags die set. Using the flower and leaf dies from the Slimline Frames & Porthole die set, she adds a pink and purple flower.  Such a wonderful combination of NND products!

Diane Morales creates a water colored background in shades of greens and teals. She uses the Circle Frames die set to create a scallop-edged circle as well as a circular card. She adds a couple of paw prints and the sentiment. Her main attraction is the darling kitten from the Smitten Kittens stamp and die set.  Her light coloring of the kitten is spe-cat-ular!  

Newton looks darling floating amid all those green and blue balloons! Sue T.'s festive card uses the Balloons stencil with watercolors. She uses the rounded rectangle frame from the Frames & Flags die set. Next she colors Newton from the Newton's Birthday Balloons  stamp set in soft grays. She cuts using the coordinating die set. 

Amy T shares her watercolor master piece that features the newly released Newton peeking from his pink mug!  This sweet image is from the Newton's Mug stamp and cut using the coordinating die. She adds white flowers using a little image from the Happy Little Thoughts stamp set. If that was cute enough, she adds the smiling muffin from the Love Bites stamp and die set.  Using the dies from the Frames Squared die set, she cuts multiple layers.  She uses the Pawprints stencil and water color pens for the mat around her kitty. At last she pulls the banner die from the Frames & Flags die set and stamps the sentiment.  Cute!  

Claire Lamb uses watercolors for her rainy scene!  Her water-laden clouds die cut using the Sky Borders die set are sprinkling on her darling critters from the Newton's Rain Boots stamp and die set.  Those rain boots look darling with their hearts stamped on them and colored in pastels.  And her ducks look like they are having fun playing in her watercolor puddle!  A wonderfully designed spring card!

 Debbie Owens uses dies from the Frames & Flags die set to create her layers. Her main layer is a watercolor layer in purples and blues on which she uses the Floral Lace stencil with white paint. She adds a vellum heart die cut using the Heart Frames die set. She adds flowers from the Flower Trio die set before adding the word love die cut from the Darling Hearts die set.  The sweet fawn and friend from the Woodland Spring stamp set tops off her card.  A combination of cuteness with elegance!
