Diane Morales creates tons of puffy clouds just perfect for an airplane ride!  

Using the Clouds stencil, Diane adds clouds to her navy and light blue layers. She uses the Sky Borders die set to create the horizontal stripe.  Flying amongst all those clouds is our favorite bear, Winston from the Winston Takes Flight stamp and die set. What a fabulous way to send a hello greeting to a friend!

Sue T. creates a little tropical paradise just right for a little nap!  She begins by using the Tropical Leaves stencil in shades of greens. She then stamps and die cuts hibiscus flowers to create the stripe in the sketch. Her main attraction is napping Newton from the Aloha Newton stamp and die set in his hammock between two coconut trees!  Who wouldn't want to hang out in this slice of paradise?

Ready for puppy overload?  Then you will love Amy T.'s darling card!  She begins by creating a silver embossed background using the Woof stencil. She stamps the full image from the Woof  Pack stamp set, and colors the pack of puppies in a range of fun colors!  She stamps the sentiment in teal and distresses the white layer. Her glitter silver stripe adds more shimmer to this fun-lovin' puppy card!

Claire Lamb creates a yummy card showcasing the donut-lovin' kitty from the Newton's Donut stamp and die set!  She sets the scene by repeatedly embossing the small donut image and lightly distressing in pink. She embosses the sentiment on a pale teal banner die using the Banner Trio die set. Don't you just love those pink pads on her black and white kitten?  Just too cute!

 Debbie Owens creates a delightful underwater scene.  She uses the Frames & Flags and the Framework die sets to create layers in ocean-like colors and patterns. She uses dies from the Sea Borders set to create a wavy stripe as well as creating waves in the background from acetate, vellum, and white card stock with the sentiment stamped on it.  She then showcases the images from the Purr-maid Newton stamp set enjoying the water.  A few sequins add a shimmery touch.  Magical!

Use the above sketch.

Need a  a lovely way to send a heart-filled thank you card? Then Crystal Komera's beautifully designed card is for you!  Beginning with pattern paper with tiny little red hearts, she adds a red, scallop-edged frame using the Frames & Flags die set. Notice those subtle hearts on the red. {swoon} Adding a large white heart, Crystal stamps little red hearts and the sentiment from the Peony Blooms stamp. For her finale, she adds her beautifully colored flowers from the Peony Blooms stamp and die set.  

Super CAS and super cute is the direction Debbie Owens interprets this challenge. Using a silver foil striped paper, Debbie cuts the heart shape using the Darling Hearts die set. She then cuts several sentiments and layers them to add dimension. She then stamps the furry feline from the Purr-fect Present stamp set and colors her like a Siamese.  For the gift box, she colors in silver and pinks.  She adds a few sequins to add some pink accents. Darling!

Diane Morales uses hearts in a very creative way!  Using the Sunscape stencil, Diane uses yellow inks to create the sun rays. She then goes back and stamps little hearts from the It's a Plan stamp set in the rays!  I know, so fun!  She adds some light blue water using the Sea Borders die set. She adds the seagulls on the pier posts from the Gull Friends stamp and die set. For her two-colored sentiment, she uses letters from the Essential Alphabet die set.  To make this into a square card, Diane uses the Frames Squared die set. So cute!

Take off for a little bit of love!  Sue T. creates this darling card featuring this adorable pilot from the Winston Takes Flight stamp set. Her pink and red plane with the added polka-dotted heart is just too cute.  Then there's the exhaust---pink hearts--made by a bit of masking and the Tumbling Hearts stencil.  She adds the perfect sentiment from the Uplifting Wishes stamp set. She frames all of this on a dark pink scallop-edged frame using the Frames & Flags die set. Seriously cute!

 Looks like Becky Noelle has been practicing her typing skills!  Look at her very long page of

 Xs & Os!  That sweet, vintage, pink typewriter is from  the My Type stamp set

 and all those rows of hearts are from the Happy Little Thoughts stamp set. Becky places her typewriter on a little doily and stamps the sentiment on it.  If you look closely, her background has lots of typewritten words!  

Create a project using the Theme--Hearts.

Here's some inspiration!

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

Becky Noelle creates this red and white striped background using the snowflake die from the Snow Globe Shaker die set. She then creates a fun background using the Fancy Edges Tag die to create the fun edge. She then stamps and colors this sweet llama from the Llama Delivery stamp set. She adds the sentiment and some snowflakes for her finishing touches!

Debbie Owens brings on the glitter by creating her striped background in red glitter paper. She then adds a shimmery green card stock before adding the black sentiment from the Holiday Greetings die set. She adds the kitten from the Newton's Holiday Mischief stamp set.  She then adds holly from the Pines & Holly die set and peppermint candy from the Newton's Candy Cane stamp set.

Diane Morales presents a very elegant and beautiful card. She uses gray pattern paper for the background stripes. Then she uses the Evergreens stencil to create a romantic scene for her red stamped skating couple from the Winter Memories stamp and die set.

Emily Lauritzen creates this playful shaker card with a light blue background. She then embosses a sentiment from the Ornamental Wishes stamp set on vellum. She frames her vellum background with a white frame die cut using the Framework die set. The snowy hills were made using the Land Borders die set.  The frozen feline snowmen are from a stamp (Flaky Family) set that has sadly been retired and sold out, but the Frozen Friends stamp set would look lovely too!

Sue T. gives us this darling card which features Winston flying through a cloudy sky!  She begins by die cutting her base using the Framework die set. She then layers clouds by using the Sky Borders die. She adds the sentiment and that daring Winston from the Winston Takes Flight stamp set for a delightful, fun card!
