Danni Bindel's gingham background (Spring Blooms paper pad) works so well with the newly released kitty from the Newton's Lucky Clover stamp and coordinating die set. For an added touch of spring, she  adds a tulilp frame using the Frames Squared die set.  Her sentiment is on a stitched oval frame using the Oval Frames die set. Such a spring-filled holiday card!

Debbie Owens creates a sweet, lucky card using polka-dotted paper from the A Cat's Life paper pad and die cut using the Frames & Flags die set. She distresses a cloudy background using the Clouds stencil and adds some hills using the Land Borders die set. Enjoying the spirng day is one of the mice from the Birthday Mice stamp set. Deb creates a custom clover balloon using dies from the Candy Heart and the Balloon Shaker die sets. She pulls a sentiment from the Heartfelt Essentials stamp set. For a pop of color, Deb adds some pink flowers using the Newton Blooms stamp set!

Amy Tollner creates a fabulous shimmery, starry background using the Starfield stencil. Her background is just wonderful for her lucky kitty from the Newton's Pot of Gold stamp set. She white embosses her holiday sentiment on a green banner using the Banner Trio die set. For her scallop-edged frame, Amy uses the Frames & Flags die set. Such a festive St. Patty's Day card!

Claire Lamb shows her creative flare using the Heart Frames die set to create four-leaf clovers! She uses green patterned paper from the A Cat's Life (polka dotted), the Spring Blooms (plaid), the Meowy Christmas (stripes), and the Spring Blooms (gingham) paper pads. She stamps the sentiment (Newton's Hanging Basket) on a little banner (A7 Frames and Banners die set). Such a clever way to create a St. Patty's card!

Crystal Minkler showcases the newly release kitty from the Newton's Lucky Clover stamp and coordinating die set. Doesn't he look amazing with the green bokeh background using the Bokeh Stencil set? The postage-edging was created using the frame die from the Framework die set. The clovers are a fabulous touch!

Today I'm sharing some more inspiration 
for our current challenge! 

Here'a a refresher.
Sketch Challenge

Create a project using the sketch above. 

Today I have some more inspiration for this Challenge!

Sue T. creates this starry card using the Cosmic Newton stamp set.  Her calico kitty looks fabulous in the glittery and rhinestone-studded spaceship which is flying through a far off galaxy.  Sue creates this silvery universe using the Starfield stencil, sequins, and silver cording.  For the vertical element, Sue uses black and dark gray striped paper.

With this bright, festive card, Becky Noelle gets you ready to party!  She creates a splattered background then adds her vertical element by layering fringed papers  How fun!  She creates a tag using the Fancy Edges Tag die set and adds some brown for the ground and orange ribbon. For her finale, she adds the llama from the Lovable Llamas stamp set. Don't you just love the cool sunglasses?

Bobbi Lemanski's card will have you longing for a retreat at the lake!  Using the canoe image from the Winston's Lake House stamp set, she shades it and the water amazingly. She frames it with a black and white striped paper on atop a blue layer. She chooses a fun background paper that has different colored board planks.  She adds her sentiment and wraps black twine to finish this wonderful card!

With summer just around the corner, Debbie Owens' card is perfect to thank a special teacher. Choosing teacher-themed papers with apples and letters, she creates two layers of the sketch. She then adds a black background with a houndstooth pattern with frames the teacher image from the Classy Teacher stamp set. She adds a glossy accent layer to make the apple shiny. A bit of twine finishes the card.

Diane Morales creates her light blue vertical stripe by using the Sea Borders die set and setting it between a darker blue.  She die cuts a square out of her white layer which pops up using dimensional tape.  She wonderfully colors the mermaid from the Narly Mermaids stamp and die set.  She adds some starfish and a banner with its stamped sentiment. A wonderful watery scene!
