Crystal Minkler's card shows the craziness of spring weather! She creates her cloudy sky using the Sky Scene Builder and Sky Borders die sets. She pulls paper from the A Cat's Life paper pad to create the sky and grass using Land Borders die set. Enjoying those spring winds is a little kitty from the Newton's Umbrella stamp and coordinating die set. Super cute!

Danni Bindel utilizes the A2 Card Layout die to create the outline on her card. She continues by adding the yellow floral and the green gingham papers from the Spring Blooms paper pad with a cloudy sky in the center. She showcases the playful kitty from the Newton's Flower Garden stamp set and Coordinating die set.  So sweet!

Debbie Owens utilizes papers from the Pastel Basics paper pad to create her background for the adventurous feline from the Newton's Hanging Basket stamp set.  She used the Basic Frames die set for the blue striped banner. The contrast of stripes and polka dots make for a fun, playful card!

Amy Tollner uses the Clouds and the Hills and Grass stencils to create her peaceful background scene which she die cuts using the zigzag frame die from the Frames and Tags die set. Enjoying this serene scene are little blue birds from the Birdhouse Greetings and coordinating die set.

Claire Lamb distresses a soft, pretty background for her playful feline.  She uses the Basic Frames die set to add a unique take on her background, and that little feline "terrorizing" the birds is from the Newton's Birdbath stamp and coordinating die set.

latest Inky Paws Challenge!

  

Have you had a chance to make a card for our latest Inky Paws Challenge? 

Here's a refresher.

Use the challenge theme with your NND products. 

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

Claire Lamb uses the newly released Basic Frames die set to design her darling birthday card. She uses the blue and purple polka dotted papers from the Pastel Basics paper pad to create her background layers to showcase the trio of sweet kitties from the Newton's Birthday Trio stamp set and coordinating die set. Super cute!

Crystal Minkler was also inspired to create a birthday card!  She uses the newly released Frames and Tags die set and the Circle Frames die set with the primary and secondary colored polka dotted papers from the Bright Basics paper pad. Her trio of felilnes is from the Newton's Bright Birthday stamp and coordinating die set. So much cuteness!

Danni Bindel selects the Pastel Basics paper pad to create her mugs of coffee from the Coffee Silhouettes die set. She uses the Basic Frames die set and the Frames & Flags die set to create her background layers. She pulls the sentiment from the Thankful Thoughts stamp set. A fun way to send a hug to a loved one!

Like some of her teammates, Debbie Owens was inspired to create birthday cards using the newly released Bright Basics paper pad. She creates vertical strips using the A2 Card Layout die set. Each card features a trio of kittens celebrating in style!  Her first card features the Newton's Bright Birthday stamp set while the second card features the Newton's Birthday Trio stamp set.  Not sure with trio is having the most fun!

Amy Tollner pulls papers from the Autumn paper pad to create a beautiful palette of colors for her playful mouse from the Garden Mice stamp and coordinating die set. Amy then adds butterflies using the Newton's Birdbath stamp and coordinating die set. To create her many layers including the sentiment banner, Amy uses the Frames and Tags die set, the Basic Frames Die Set, and theA7 Frames and Banners die set. Too cute!

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along!  Remember, you have until this Friday, April l2,  2024 to enter. There's a prize involved too, so don't delay - see more inspiration on our Inky Paws Challenge here!
