Special Guest Designers

Emily Lauritzen is back to share this amazing card using the IPC#13 sketch with textured tree rings from the Tree Rings stencil. She adds a black and white striped layer which she die cuts from the Frames & Flags die set.  She then adds a big bouquet of daisies from the Dainty Daisies stamp and die set.  She adds the little banners in coordinating papers and adds the sentiment on the banner.  So nice to have Emily's talents joining us again!

This bright sunny scene at the beach created by Amanda Bodine looks like a slice of paradise. The yellow sunny background with the palm tree from the Aloha Newton stamp and die set creates a bit of shade for castle building and sunbathing!  Those sweet felines are from the Newton's Summer Vacation stamp and die set. To create the scenic horizons, Amanda uses both the Sea Borders and the Land Borders die sets. 

 For her first card, Ellen Haxelmans creates this dynamic scene using the colors (orange, yellow, & black) of Halloween!   She creates a fabulous sunset using the Sunscape stencil in orange and yellows. She then creates layers of blue waves using the Sea Borders die set and a sandy ocean bottom using the Land Borders die set.. She adds a boat that actually moves using the Message in a Bottle stamp and die set.  She then adds the beautiful mermaid from Narly Mermaids stamps and dies as well as elements ocean elements from Purr-maid stamps and dies. The sentiment was stamped and cut using the Frames & Flags die set. 

Ellen Haxelmans creates another interactive card using the colors of the IPC#26 challenge with a nautical theme.  She creates a pink sky using Sunscape stencil and creates her ocean floor and water using the Land Borders and  Sea Borders die sets. She adds her movable boat using the Message in a Bottle stamp and die .  She adds a sweet manatee from the Manatee-rific stamp and die set.  She then adds more ocean elements using elements form Narly Mermaids stamps and dies , Purr-maid stamps and dies, and Shark Bites stamp set. 

Andrea Shell combined 4 different IPC challenges to create this summer paradise!  Using the Waves stencil she creates the water scene in the upper corner. She then uses the the Land Borders die set to separate the water from the beach.  She die cuts using the Framework die set. She places two felines from the Newton's Summer Vacation stamp and die set who are enjoying the pleasures of summer. For her final touch, she adds a tropical flower from the Flower Trio die set. 

Samantha Mann was wowed by the beauty of the IPC#51 Tropical Challenge.  She created her amazing background using the Tropical Leaves stencil in shades of green. She then adds her colorful toucan ad bright flowers and leaves from the Toucan Party stamp and die set.  She heat embosses the sentiment in white on a black banner and adds black & white striped washi tape and a few sequins to finish her pretty card!

Zsofia Molnar, a NND designer, shares this gorgeous card using the colors from the IPC#50 inspiration.  She chose the Peony Blooms stamp set colored with Copics and cut out using the coordinating die.  She blended her spectacular background using distress oxide inks which she die cut using a die from the Framework die set (Zsofia's favorite NND product!). She added texture using the Argyle stencil and heat embossed the sentiment using a sentiment from the Thankful Thoughts stamp set.
