Danielle's use of teal, red, and white is a wonderful color scheme!  She uses the retired Ornaments stencil for her teal background atop the red and pink striped paper from the Summer Time paper pad. She stamps the sentiment on a banner (Frames & Flags die set) and showcases the puppy from the Santa Paws stamp set (Simon Says 2023 STAMPtember  NND Exclusive). A fabulously designed card!

Debbie Owens creates this darling puppy card. She pairs the speech paper from the A Dog's Life paper pad with the sentiment from the  Puppy Friends stamp set on a black speech bubble (Speech Bubbles die set). She adds the little puppy from the newly released Puppy's Reading List stamp set.  The little cup of coffee (Time for Coffee stamp set) is a fabulous touch!

Amy Tollner creates this lovely pastel holiday card using papers from the Love & Woofs paper pad.  Her present-laden lady from the Christmas Haul stamp and coordinating die set is definitely ready for the season.  For her sentiment, she adds a gray, stitched oval using the Oval Frames die set. 

Claire Lamb's card reflects the joy of a snowy holiday season. Heading home with their sled are the children from the Holiday Home stamp set. Love the path Claire made!  To complete her card, Claire uses the circle die (Frames Squared die set) with a sentiment from the Bells & Holly stamp set and the Petite Snow Stencil for the snow on her card base.  

Crystal Minkler's cozy setting is full of delightful elements. She pulls papers from the Meowy Christmas paper pad. Just love the teal striped paper for the wall!  She adds the image from the Fireside Friends stamp set. She adds the sentiment on a stitched oval using the Oval Frames die set. For her scallop-eding on the pawprint paper, Crystal pulled a die from the Frames & Flags die set. So cute!

Danni Bindel showcases the cat-feinated kitty from the Newton Loves Coffee stamp set and coordinating die set. He is looking so cute on the mug papers from the Coffee House Stories paper pad. She uses the Framework die set for her layers as well as the Oval Frames die set for her sentiment!

Crystal Minkler makes this festive holiday card by flipping the sketch for a vertical card. She uses papers from the Christmas Time paper pad and cuts the polka dotted panel using the Frames & Flags die set.  Her main attraction are those shiny bells from the Bells & Holly stamp and coordinating die set.

She does some paper piecing of the stocking to coordinate with the plaid paper in the background.  All those spectacular papers come from the Christmas Time paper pad.
