Kristi H. creates two delightful Valentine's cards using the Candy Heart stamp and die set. Her choice of plaid papers in pastel colors work perfectly with the trio of conversation hearts. Such a sweet mix for Valentine's Day!

Debbie's FAVE

Irene features these fabulous flamingos from the Flirty Flamingos  (Retired) stamp set. Her hand drawn background with the heart on the horizon makes for a romantic backdrop for these love birds!  Fabulous idea!

Diane's FAVE

Amy's polka dotted backdrop works wonderfully for Newton (Newton's Birthday Balloons stamp set) as he floats up into the sky.  A simply, adorable card!

Sue's FAVE

Macimbalo showcases some snow-lovin' critters on a cold, wintry day. These critters come form the Snow Angel Newton and Snow Angel Puppy stamp sets. Her coloring is amazing and the wavy border adds a wonderful touch!  So, so cute!

Amy's FAVE

Amy S. takes us to the wild west with this fabulous card. She showcases Newton in his ten-gallon hat from the Newton Rides West (Retired) stamp set. She stamps western images on her brown, leathery layer and adds some jute for a rugged look.  So, darn cute!

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

Claire Lamb gives us the sweetest winter scene!  She showcases the cute critters from the Holiday Post stamp and die set with snowflakes falling in the background and piles of snow on the ground (Land Borders die set). She adds a dark pink banner using the Frames & Flags die set and places all her layers on a pink gingham paper!  Don't you love how she extends this stamp set  by changing the color scheme?  Fantastic job!

 Debbie Owens uses the sketch to create a window with a wintry scene.  She uses the Whispering Pines stamp set to create the tree silhouettes. She adds a valance by using the wavy die from the Sea Borders die set. She pulls the stag image from the Reindeer Roll Call stamp set to add to the mug from the Newton's Mug stamp set. The wood grain paper and buffalo plaid accents gives the card a warm, cabin-like feel. 

Diane Morales pulls out the Main Street Christmas stamp set and repurposes it for her Valentine's card!  She adds the ambulance from the Love Emergency stamp set and coordinating die set racing down the street. Her little scene is placed atop the red zig-zag paper from the Meowy Christmas paper pad. She adds her embossed sentiment, "Dispatching All My Love," which pulls everything together so nicely! What a way to stretch one's stamp sets!  Such a clever idea! 

Anyone else ready for some spring flowers? Well, Sue T.'s card will give you a taste of spring to brighten your day! Using the Blooming Botanicals stamp set colored in brilliant colors, Sue adds her white embossed sentiment (Floral Roundabout stamp set) on a black banner for a nice dramatic element. She uses the round-edged frame die from the Frames & Flags die set and sets everything on a white card base. Lovely!

Amy Tollner delights with her pastel background and shimmery snowflakes (Snowfall stencil). She adds a glitter banner die cut using the banner die from the Frames & Flags die set. Atop all the shimmery fun is the playful pup from the Snow Angel Puppy stamp and coordinating die set. The little birdie (Festive Fawns stamp and die set) adds a nice pop of red!  So fun!

Use the challenge sketch.
