Here'a a refresher.

Create a project using this fabulous Sketch!

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

Diane Morales reminds us the importance of reflecting on the good things in life while enjoying a cup of coffee. Using the coffee bean paper from the newly released Coffee House Stories paper pad, she creates her trio of rectangles. She then adds a coffee craft and orange mug from the newly released Time for Coffee stamp and die set. She frames them using the scallop-edged die from the Framework die set. Now sit back and enjoy.

Sue T.'s holiday floral display looks beautiful atop the papers from the Meowy Christmas paper pad. These beautiful flowers are from the Poinsettia Blooms stamp and die set. A beautiful and elegant way to send Season's Greetings!

Amy Tollner creates a peaceful, wintry scene using the Serene Silhouettes stamp and die set. Her twilight is filled with a flurry of snowflakes created using the Petite Snow stencil. Her sparkly, silver rectangles give her card a a shimmery touch. 

Claire Lamb showcases the reindeer image from the Reindeer Roll Call stamp by stamping a reindeer border around the sentiment pulled from the Holiday Home stamp set. Her brown snowflakes in the background look fabulous with the red and Kraft palette. A country feel with a touch of elegance!

 Debbie Owens showcases the newly released Newton from the Snow Angel Newton stamp set. Looks like Newton is have snow much fun as he makes snow angels on the snowflake embossed background and shimmering silver panels.  Deb pulls the sentiment from the Moose Mountain stamp set and embosses it on vellum with a shiny frame die cut using the scallop-edged die from the Framework die set. Enjoy, Newton!

Ready for some holiday cocktails?  Diane Morales' card will definitely get you ready for some holiday merriment!  Her background created using the  Confetti stencil gives her card a fun, party feel. She continues by adding banners in coordinating colors using the Frames & Flags die set. No party is complete without festive drinks? So she uses the Christmas Cocktails stamp and coordinating die set to add a trio of drinks. Merry cocktail to everyone!

Sue T. creates a wintry wonderland to bring good wishes to your holiday season!  She uses the Snowfall Roundabout stamp set to create her custom pattern paper. She adds it to the postage-edge base layer die cut using the Framework die set. Her snowy couple from the Snow Much Cheer stamp and coordinating  die set look amazing in the soft pastel colors!  What a fabulous way to wish someone joy, love, and laughter!  

Need another card to get you into the holiday spirit?  Amy Tollner's bright card might inspire you to reach into your liquor cabinet to duplicate her delicious-looking cocktails!  Using a plaid paper from the Meowy Christmas paper pad, she adds a trio of cocktails from the Christmas Cocktails stamp and coordinating die set. She die cuts the shimmery red bow from the Pines & Holly die set. Don't you just love the yellow and red together?  Cheers to you!

Using tree branches to mimic the sketch, Claire Lamb features a duo of beautiful birds from the Winter Birds stamp and coordinating  die set. She uses the Bubbly stencil to add a subtle design to her wintry skyline with some snowflakes gently falling.  She selects the "Joyful Tidings" sentiment from the Heartfelt Holidays stamp set to send her holiday message!  Just so beautiful!

Set amidst soft pastel papers, Debbie Owens showcases the farm critters from the Dairy Christmas stamp set. She uses the scallop-edged die from the Frames & Flags die set for her base layer, then mixes and matches papers for a sweet holiday card! Happy holidays, indeed!

 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 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!

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.
