Crystal Minkler creates such a fun spring card filled with spring showers and pretty flowers! Those fun papers are from the Springtime paper pad. She stamps her wonderfully colored puppy from the Rainy Day Doxie stamp set on an oval from the Oval Frames die set. Her sentiment was stamped on a circle cut using the Circle Frames die set. A colorful, fun way to use the challenge sketch!

Debbie Owens uses the sketch in a playful way featuring the kitty from the Newton's Kite stamp set. She uses the Oval Frames die set for her center which she adds the Cloudy Sky stencil as well as the Land Border die set. All those fabulous papers are from the Spring Blooms paper pad. She adds a sentiment form the Birthday Roundabout stamp set to complete her bright, fun card!

Diane Morales designs the cutest birthday card using the Birdhouse Greetings stamp and die set. She pulls several papers from theBirthday paper pad to pull in the colors of her birdhouse. To break everything up, she adds her white oval using a die from the Oval Frames die set.  An adorable birthday card!

Amy Tollner brings us this beautiful, yet playful card. She uses the A7 Frames & Banners die set to create her card base. She pulls papers from the Springtime paper pad. The flowers in the paper coordinate wonderfully with the flowers in the bicycle basket. This sweet image is from the Loads of Blooms stamp and coordinating die set. For the yellow, polka-dotted oval, Amy uses the Oval Frames die set. Such a darling way to send birthday wishes!

Claire Lamb creates such an elegant card using the sky. She uses the Orchids stamp and coordinating die set. She places her beautiful flowers on an ivory oval framed with a golden, scallop-edged oval using the Oval Frames die set. For her background, she uses the Sky Borders die set to create a scalloped stripe. She also uses the Quatrefoil stencil to create a textured layer. The total effect is this gorgeous card!

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

This amazing square floral card by Debbie Owens is perfect for letting someone know they are in your thoughts! The flowers from our Floral Fringe Stamp Set look amazing in the challenge colors! She cut out the square layers using our Frames Squared Die Set and adds a little butterfly from our Newton's Flower Garden Stamp Set. The sentiment in the center is from our Spring Blooms Oval Stamp Set.

Special Guest, Jen Jackson (NND owner) created this adorable beachy card using the challenge colors! That kitty from the Newton's Summer Vacation Stamp Set is looking pretty cool on the beach with his sunshades! She cut the image of Newton out using the coordinating Newton's Summer Vacation Die Set. For the sunny sky she used the Sunscape Stencil over a scalloped panel that was die cut using the Frames & Flags Die Set. She added a bit of shine with the "shine bright" sentiment that was created using the Bright Sentiments Hot Foil Plates and trimmed out using our Banner Duo Die Set. A strip of green striped paper in the background from our Springtime Paper Pad adds an extra pop of green.

Diane Morales shares a beautiful trio flowers using the stem of daisy blooms from our Dainty Daisies Stamp Set. She colored the flowers in three of the challenge colors and cuts them out with the Dainty Daisies Die Set. For her background she created the 3 paneled frame using our A7 Frames and Banners Die Set. For a bit of shine and sparkle she adds a foiled sentiment using our Bright Sentiments Hot Foil Plates and trims it out using our Banner Duo Die Set. So pretty!

This card by Amy Tollner will surround you with sun & smiles! She features the lovely oval floral image from our Spring Blooms Oval Stamp Set and colors all the the flowers using the challenge colors. She cuts the big oval out using our Oval Frames Die Set and adds strips of paper along the bottom using our Springtime Paper Pad to tie in the colors! An orange bow and some sequins are the perfect finishing touches!

Debbie Owens created this fun card featuring some newly released products. Her magenta pink went a bit dark, but you'll get the idea! On her stitched panel (Frames & Flags die set) with its yellow gingham pattern (Spring Blooms paper pad) is the fabulous backdrop for her two birdhouses. These little houses are from the Birdhouse Greetings stamp set. She adds some green grass using the die from the Land Borders die set and striped paper from the Meowy Christmas paper pad. Her sentiment is from the Birthday Roundabout stamp set. A super cute card!

Debbie Owens has designed two cards this week. This more CAS card features Trailing Leaves stencil on a partially distressed yellow background. Her orange tabby from the Newton's Hanging Basket stamp set is looking quite content hanging out in his basket!

Diane Morales is showcasing the Succulent Garden stamp and coordinating die set. Her colorful succulents are looking so pretty against the green polka dotted paper from the A Cat's Life paper pad. She uses the scallop-edged frame from the Framework die set and the banner from the Bookmark die set for her sentiment.

Amy Tollner's pretty orange card base and window frame look amazing with the multi-colored stripes (Serene Stripes stencil). Amy uses the A7 Frames & Banners die set for her layers. For green elements are those prickly cacti from the Cuppa Cactus stamp and die set. She adds extra flowers from the Spring Blooms Oval stamp set. All those pretty sequins make this an amazing shaker card!

Amy's FAVE

Redbird uses the rainbow theme by making her firework display super colorful.  Riding through those fiery blooms (Fireworks stencil) is Newton (Newton's 4th of July stamp and coordinating die set) riding bravely on his rocket!  The coordinating envelope is a super fun touch!

Claire's FAVE

Marianne won over Claire with rainbow hearts. Marianne uses the Newton's Heart stamp and coordinating die set and uniquely colors the hearts in colors of the rainbow. Behind them she subtly adds more hearts with the Bokeh Hearts stencil set. Adding the white-embossed sentiment on black adds a nice dramatic touch!  

Crystal's FAVE

Crystal loved how Maria creates a rainbow using the Sunscape stencil. Riding through the kaleidoscope of colors is Newton with his rainbow scarf. This cute guy is from the Newton Scoots By stamp and die set. A fun way to incorporate rainbow colors into one's design!

Debbie's FAVE

Debbie loves how Moments of Crafting created a rainbow of fruity cocktails!.  These colorful drinks were created using the Cocktail Mixer stamp set. The water coloring beneath them was a fabulous way to continue the rainbow theme!

Diane's FAVE

Ingen repeatedly stamped her birthday sentiment (Birthday Roundabout stamp set) in shades of the rainbow. She then adds Newton in his rainbow-colored striped gift bag (Newton's Birthday Bash stamp set) and colorful tissue paper is a purr-fect way to send birthday greetings. Such a fun CAS design!

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

Amy Tollner uses the napping Newton from the Newton's Naptime stamp set who is enjoying his nap atop a stack of blankets in hues of the rainbow!  For even more rainbow fun, she uses the Meow stencil to create a "wallpaper" for her room that also includes a pretty blue hardwood floor (Hardwood stencil-retiring).  She uses a sentiment as well as the toy mouse and food dish from the Welcome New Cat stamp and die set.  For the postage-edging she uses the main die from the Framework die set. A colorful way to send some love!

Claire Lamb's variegated skeins of yarn in rainbow colors seem to make her little fur balls quite happy!  Those little fur balls are from the Newton Unwinds stamps & coordinating die set. Claire places them on a scallop-edged oval (Oval Frames die set) filled with hearts (Petite Hearts stencil) in rainbow hues. Her purr-fect sentiment is from the Kitten Beach stamp set. A fun, colorful way to send happy greetings!

Crystal O. Minkler pulls a rainbow of papers from the Birthday Party paper pad to create layers of birthday fun.  She adds our high-flying Newton from the Newton's Birthday Balloons stamp set with his lavender balloons.  To create her many layers, Crystal uses dies from the Frames & Flags and the Frames Squared die sets.  A colorful way to celebrate!

Debbie Owens uses the paw print die from the Bookmark die set to create a rainbow of paw prints down her slimline card.  She then adds the little puppy and the poignant sentiment from the Furr-ever Friends stamp set. A beautiful card to send to a loved one who has a fur baby crossing The Rainbow Bridge. 

Diane Morales will satisfy your sweet tooth without all the calories!  She creates an oval card base using the Oval Frames die set and adds a fun background using the Petite Snow stencil.  Atop her card base awaits a rainbow of confectionery goodies (Love & Chocolate stamp and coordinating die set). She uses the newly released Banner Duo die set with her foiling machine to make her darling banner.  She sprinkles her yummy card with a few jewels!  Fantastically done, Diane!
