Sue's FAVE

Cari S. shows us how to conserve water! She finds pattern papers that perfectly complement the images from the  Wine A Little stamp and coordinating die set. The sentiment from this stamp set provides a bit of humor!  

Amy's FAVE

Joyce's darling card is packed full of puppy cuteness. All the puppies look like they are in a basket with the distressed background made using the Basketweave stencil.  She fills her card with puppies using the Woof Pack stamp set.  Don't you love how she fussy cuts two puppies to place outside her window?  Wonderfully done!

Claire's FAVE

Karen Guettler Carlson creates a window with the deer from the \Woodland Spring stamp and coordinating die set peeking through.  The striped background adds a dramatic touch. The added floral sprig pulls everything together wonderfully!

Debbie's FAVE

What do you get when you combine pineapples and a koala?   Kristi's card answers the riddle~piña koala!

Isn't her pineapple lovin' koala from the Pina Koala stamp set darling against the background of pineapples created using the Pineapple stencil.  The bright, crispness of her card is eye-catching!  So cute!

Diane's FAVE

Karen Guettler Carlson's CAS card is stunning with the striped banner behind the deer from the Woodland Spring stamp and coordinating die set. Leaving the image without color is a brilliant, bold move!

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.

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.

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.
