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

 Debbie Owens cleverly combines sets to create a caffeine Christmas card. Starting with the Circle Frames die set, she creates her card base. She fills it with some paper from the Meowy Christmas paper pad. She pulls the latte cup from the Pumpkin Latte stamp set and places it in the hands of one of the mice from the Naughty or Mice stamp set. For her sentiment, she pulls the words "A Christmas" from the A Kitten Christmas stamp set and "Espresso" from the Love Cafe stamp set. 

Diane Morales designs a square cut using the scallop-edged die from the Frames Squared die set and tree-filled paper from the Meowy Christmas paper pad.  She then adds one the darling dinos from the Prehistoric Christmas stamp and die set.  Isn't he just too cute with the pine trees in the background. She stamps her sentiment on a red banner adding a nice pop of color!   

Sue T. designs this stunning card. Sue has distressed snowflakes using the Snowfall stencil on a dark brown card base. Then die cuts using the postage-edge frame from the Framework die set. She adds beautifully colored flowers from the Poinsettia Blooms stamp and die set. She stamps sentiments from the Heartfelt Holidays stamp set on two banners die cut using the Frames & Flags die set. The brown and red combination is so striking!

Amy Tollner creates a merry and bright card using the green gingham paper from the Meowy Christmas paper pad die cut using the scallop-edged die from the Frames & Flags die set. She places the ever so cute toad from the Mistle Toad stamp and die set on a Kraft scalloped circle die cut using the Circle Frames die set. She embosses her sentiment from the Heartfelt Holidays stamp set on a banner die cut using the Banner Trio die set. 

Claire Lamb showcases the Heartfelt Holidays stamp set in a tri-fold card, and it's amazing!  On a Kraft card base, she repeatedly white embosses the background using the Heartfelt Holidays stamp. Using the Heart Frames die set, she cuts the heart-shape window with the beautifully colored image from the Heartfelt Holidays stamp set showing through. She stamps the sentiment and adds scallop edging using the Sky Borders die set. Just love this!

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

 Claire Lamb uses a blue gingham paper for a cozy setting for her trio of felines.  Those amazingly colored kittens are from the Caroling Newton and coordinating die set.  Holiday caroling just wouldn't be complete without some snow. Those pretty snowflakes in the background come from the 

the  Holiday Post stamp set. Oh so sweet!

Debbie Owens showcases just one of the amazing cocktails from the newly released Christmas Cocktails stamp set.  She places it on a bold, black backdrop die cut using the scallop-edged die from the Framework die set. She then uses the large scallop-edged die from the  Frames & Flags die set to die cut her black & white plaid paper. A few red drops and pink & red twine ties her card together! Cheers!

Diane Morales showcases the newly released Meowy Christmas paper pad. She uses the lime green plaid paper that is a wonderful fit with the snow couple from the also newly released Snow Much Cheer stamp and coordinating die set. She places her sweet couple on a scallop-edged circle (Circle Frames die set) and uses the scallop-edged frame die from the Framework die set for a fun shaped card!  Snow cute!

Sue T. creates an original plaid using the Gingham stencil and adding white polka dots. A very festive backdrop for her darling kittens from the Autumn Newton stamp and coordinating die set. The circular window allows more of her amazing background to show giving her card lots of texture!  Super cute!

 Amy Tollner showcases the book lovin' kittens from the Newton's Book Club and coordinating die set. She provides them a pretty room in which to read with the Hardwood stenciled floor and the pink and yellow walls decked out in plaid using the Plaid stencil.  She uses the banner die from the  Slimline Frames & Windows die set for her sentiment as well as the postage-edged frame die from the Framework die set. So cute!
