Amy Tollner will have you wanting to snuggle up with her sweet fur balls!  Her wood grain background created using the Hardwood stencil provides a cozy setting for her critters from the Fireside Friends stamp set. She uses the scallop-edged die from Frames Squared die for her red frame and the Frames & Flags die set for her sentiment.  To tie everything together, she adds a red bow!  Ready for a nap, yet?

Oh the weather outside is frightful, but inside all is delightful! Becky Noelle creates a snowy shaker card window for her outdoor scene, complete with birch trees from the Forest Scene Builder die set. Her indoor setting uses the image from the A Cozy Day In  stamp set. A purr-fect way to spend a snowy day--reading a favorite book with fur balls curled up with you!

 Debbie Owens' card might remind you of the popular children's book, Snowmen at Night!  Her snow people from the Frosty Friends stamp set are enjoying a snowy night around a campfire.  Her snowy background includes some trees die cut using the Festive Forest and the Forest Scene Builder die sets. She uses the Frames Squared die set to create the scallop-edged frame. Oh what fun!

Diane Morales creates a warm, cozy background using black ink and the Tiny Trees stencil

. The little splattering of white paint adds a nice winter touch. She adds the snowman from the Snowman Greetings stamp and die set on a bed of snow die cut from the Land Borders die set. Don't you love how Diane colors the scarf and sash on the hat in a checkered pattern for added texture?  Cute!

Who doesn't like to snuggle up in a favorite sweater when the weather gets cold?  Sue T.'s critters from the Sweater Weather stamp set are doing just that!  Set on a kraft card base with a snowy backdrop using the Snowfall Roundabout stamp set, Sue creates a winter setting perfect for wearing one's favorite sweater!  Hope her sweet critters stay cozy!

 Debbie Owens leaves her comfort zone of kitties by bring us this darling puppy card! Using the Circle Frames die set, she creates a circle card filled with holiday fun. In red, lime, and green, she shades the holiday images stamped using the Christmas Roundabout stamp set. Her main attraction is the Christmas canine from the Christmas Puppies stamp set. A super fun way to wish a dog-lovin' a Merry Woof-mas!

Diane Morales showcases the VW bus from the Destination Christmas stamp set on her CAS tag. (So loving these vintage vehicles!) She layers her tag with layers of red and lime green.  Such a playful way to use the challenge colors!

Sue T. gives us a classic card using the Poinsettia Blooms stamp and die set. She places her gorgeous flowers on a circle die cut with the lime snowflakes using the Petite Snow stencil. She places all on a green scallop-edged circle, again using the Circle Frames die set. She stamps the sentiment from the Sentiments of the Seasons stamp set in bold black.  A beautiful card for the upcoming season!

 Becky Noelle is back with her amazing stenciling skills. For her card, she showcases the newly released Tiny Trees stencil. She magically creates two-toned trees in lime and green.  She goes back and adds some red dot accents to a few of her trees.  She then embosses the sentiment from the Ornamental Wishes stamp set in white on a red card stock. She fussy cuts the sentiment and adds dimension with foam tape!  Don't you love the modern feel of this card?

Crystal Komara begins her darling card with a lime-green argyle paper that works perfectly for this challenge. She continues with a scallop-edged rectangle from the Frames & Flags die set. Then she showcases the pair of nutcrackers from the Nutcrackers stamp and die set in red and greens.  Using the coordinating die  set, she cuts out the sentiment in red.  Fabulous way to use the challenge colors!
