No prob-llama by Amy features Lovable Llamas, Serene Stripes, Banner Trio, Oval Frames, and Frames & Flags by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #springcards, #cardmaking, #llamacards
Amy Tollner's llama in her lavender shades definitely brings a smile!  This sweet llama is from the Lovable Llamas stamp and coordinating die set. Amy uses the Serene Stripes stencil to create her pastel background which has been cut using the scallop-edge frame die from the Frames & Flags die set. She incorporates a vellum oval (Oval Frames die set) and a rounded banner (Banner Trio die set) which she embosses the sentiment.  A spectacular way to use the challenge colors!



Sleep well, dream big by Claire features Sky Borders and Baa by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #sheepcards, #cardmaking
Claire Lamb's sky subtly uses the challenge colors that is perfect for her sweet lambs on their speckled clouds!  Those lambs are from the Baa stamps and coordinating die set, and her clouds were created usign the Sky Borders die set.  Precious!


Enjoy the little moments in life by Crystal features Garden Mice (Sentiment), Frames & Flags, and Butterflies by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #butterflycards, #cardmaking, #stenciling, #springcards
Crystal O. Minkler uses the challenge colors on this bold, beautiful card filled with butterflies!  She uses the Butterflies stencil set for her background. She places it with a pink layer and a white, scallop-edged frame (Frames & Flags die set). She creates a trio of banners and embosses a sentiment from the Garden Mice stamp set.  So lovely!



To some bunny special by Debbie features Tulips, Hoppy Greetings, and Frames Squared by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #eastercards, #bunnycards, #cardmaking
Debbie Owens uses the colors for her square-shaped Easter card. She uses the Frames Squared die set for the card base and center panel. She then stamps two tulips (Tulips stamp set) and colors one in lavender and one in pink.  She places them behind the cute bunny and his sign from the Hoppy Greetings stamp set. Such a cute scene!


Friends like you don't hatch everyday by Diane features Newton's Easter Basket, Fence, and Slimline Frames & Portholes by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #eastercard, #catcards, #springcards, #cardmaking
Diane Morales creates the cutest slimline card using the scallop-edge frame die from the Slimline Frames & Portholes die set. She adds a white fence (Fence die set) which looks fabulous against her pink-speckled background.  Her star attraction is the sweet, tan kitty from the Newton's Easter Basket stamp and die set. She stamps the sentiment on a hand-made banner.  The extra Easter eggs fills in the space wonderfully!

Springtime wishes by Diane features Tulips, Basketweave, Oval Frames, and A7 Frames & Banners by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #springcards, #tulipcards, #cardmaking
Diane Morales' pink basket-weave background (Basketweave stencil) with the scallop-edges (Frame & Flags die set) makes for a soft, pretty backdrop for her yellow tulips (Tulip stamp and coordinating die set).

An elegant way to celebrate spring!



Amy Tollner celebrates spring with this darling mini-slimline (Slimline Frames and Portholes die set) card featuring the cutest orange tabby from the Newton's Birdhouse stamp and coordinating die set.

Chasing your dreams by Diane features Springtime, Gnome Garden, Captivated Kittens, and Oval Frames by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #springcards, #catcards, #kittencards ,#springcards
Diane Morales' butterfly-filled card is just precious! Her cute kitten is from the Captivated Kittens stamp and coordinating die set, and he looks so cute with the butterfly paper from the Springtime paper pad. For even more fluttering fun, she adds butterflies using the Gnome Garden stamp and coordinating die set. Also tucked in there is an scallop-edged oval using the Oval Frames die set. Sure hope this little guy catches one of those cute butterflies!






Amy Tollner fills her background with beautiful pink blooms using the retiring Bold Blooms stencil which she cuts using the scallop-edged frame from the A7 Frames & Banners die set. She breaks up her floral background with a three-panel frame and places all the sweet critters from the retiring Woodland Spring stamp and coordinating die set around the edges. She adds some extra flowers and some bling making this an absolutely darling spring card!






Claire Lamb's card will have you yearning for a nice, warm, sunny spring day to take a relaxing walk with your puppies! Her rays of sunshine were made using the Sunscape Stencil, and the quintet of puppies are from the Walking Woofs stamp set. With tons of masking, Claire makes a floral path using the flowers from the Cycling Friends stamp set. Such a darling and happy card!






Crystal Minkler gives us the flip side of spring--those wonderful spring showers that pave the way for the flowers! She pulls the cloudy paper from the Springtime paper pad and continues with some clouds on her postage-edged frame layer (Framework die set) using the Petite Clouds stencil. The best part of April showers? Getting to wear fashionable rain boots, and her lavender ones are so, so cute! This darling calico kitty and ducky are from the Newton's Rain Boots stamp set and coordinating die set. Dare I say, "Bring on the rain!" LOL






Debbie Owens also showcases the darling kitty and ducky from the Newton's Rain Boots stamp set. Unlike Claire's pretty lavender rain boots, Deb goes for some bold red ones, which are just as cute! Deb uses scraps from the Springtime paper pad to create the fun background which she die cuts using the scallop-edged die from the Framework die set. She stamps her sentiment pulled from the Floral Roundabout stamp set on a banner (Banner Trio die set). A fun, colorful way to celebrate spring!

Use the challenge theme, Spring, with your Newton's Nook Designs products.
