Sue T. brings us this fabulous birthday card with the fun plaid layers on which she adds her multicolored layered cake using the Newton Loves Cake stamp and die set.  Her soft coloring of the kitty looks amazing. She adds the sentiment which is definitely how many fell about birthday cake!  Yum!

Becky Noelle created this tropical paradise by adding tropical leaves using the Tropical Leaves stencil. Using the Fancy Edges Tag die set, she cuts a tag from a vellum and white striped paper allowing the leaves to show through.  She adds a white kitty hiding in brightly colored flowers from the Aloha Newton stamp set and a white embossed sentiment on a black banner.  She accents her card with a bit of back twine and black splatters.

Bobbi Lemanski creates this shark-themed interactive card that is sure to fright...um..., I mean delight the birthday recipient! Using a watery-blue background, she adds a black layer as well as a white and black diagonal striped paper layer. She then adds the scary shark from the Shark Bites stamp set and the the smile sentiment from Uplifting Wishes stamp set. Inside her card, she again uses the sketch with her interactive shutter card which reveals yet another scary shark, but from the Shark Frenzy stamp set.  For her sentiment she combines the "Here's To" from the Cocktail Mixer stamp set with a sentiments from the Shark Bites and Shark Frenzy stamp sets.  Be sure to visit Bobbi on her blog to see a video of this amazing card!

Debbie Owens uses soft lavender and blue to create this lovely card. She uses the Bokeh stencil set to create the backdrop. Using the Framework die set, she creates a rectangular border and adheres a vellum center panel. She adds a bit of twine and enameled dots around it.  Using colored pencils,  she uses the sweet mouse from Garden Mice stamp set for the square element of the sketch.

Diane Morales brings back childhood memories with her sweet piglets playing leapfrog!  She creates this darling card by layering a light blue pattern paper on a darker card base.  She then creates the white layer using the Argyle stencil with a square die cut out.  She adds grass accents using the Moo stamp and die set. She embosses the sentiment on a black banner using the Oink stamp set, and for her focal point she colors two of the pig images from the Oink stamp and die set and has them playing leapfrog!
