Andrea W.  was also inspired to create a Christmas card using the challenge sketch. She uses a fabulous collection of holiday pattern papers that provides a festive background for the Santa image from the 

Santa Paws Newton stamp and die set.  She adds the North Pole image to her smaller circle and stamps the sentiment on a small banner. 

Sue's FAVE

We just love the bright, citrus colors of Mary's card which is so cooling for hot weather. She begins with a yellow base panel on which she adds a green/yellow green pattern paper. She then adds rays of sunshine peeking out from a white circular layer. Her main attraction is a lemon and lemon slice from the newly released Lemon Twist stamp set. She adds the sentiment on a white banner. 

Becky's FAVE

Amy T .'s creations will have you longing to visit the beach!  She begins by adding a shimmery texture using the Seashells stencil on which she adds a brown and a pattern paper layer.  She creates her banner using the Frames & Flags die set and adds the sentiment from the 

Newton's Summer Vacation stamp set. The heart of her card are the two circle that features the kitty and bucket from the Newton's Summer vacation stamp set.  She uses gold glitter and gold glitter paste for the sand that adds an amazing amount of bling!  

Bobbi's FAVE

Kimmie B.  gives us a fabulous birthday card using the Llama Delivery stamp and die set. She begins with a dark blue base and adds coordinating pattern papers. She colors her darling llama in the same color scheme before adding a trio of blue birds from the Newton's Birthday Flutter stamp set. She also adds the sentiment from this set. She balances her card by adding a stack of packages from the Llama Delivery stamp and die set.


Debbie's FAVE

Kimmie B. brings us another superb card. This time she wows us with her color combination as well as the combination of pattern papers. Behind the cute shrimp, she uses a light brown distress ink with  the Serene Stripes stencil. She adds the little shrimp Shrimp Cocktails stamp and die set using a spinner so he turns! She a porthole trim to frame him. She adds little shells from the Corgi Beach stamp set. She finishes with the sentiment on a banner!
