Amy Tollner is showcasing the newly released Fractured Card Layout die set for this darling birthday card. She pulls the cupcake paper from the Birthday Party paper pad to coordinate with her teal card base and frame.  Looks like the little goat from the Bleat stamp and coordinating die set has already begun sampling those yummy cupcakes!  

Claire Lamb uses the Oval Frames die set to create an oval opening in her card base. She distresses a rainbow-like background with subtle confetti showing through it. (Confetti Stencil) Enjoying that festive setting is a pair of sweet mice from the Birthday Mice stamp and coordinating die set. Claire embosses her sentiments on black paper and uses a speech bubble (Speech Bubbles die set) for her happy birthday sentiment.  So colorful and fun!

Crystal Minkler is also featuring the newly released Fractured Card Layout die set. She then selects coordinating papers from the Birthday Meows paper pad. This makes for a festive backdrop for her sweet kitty from the Newton's Heart and coordinating die set.  Claire paper-pieces the heart which is so clever and super cute!  She completes her card with a present from the Newton's Birthday Delights and coordinating die set and her sentiment on a small banner.  Darling!

Danni Bindel brings us a country birthday card filled with some vintage equipment from the Farming Fun stamp set.  She uses the Frames & Tags die set to design her card along with papers from the Farmyard paper pad.  A perfect way to celebrate a belated birthday!

Debbie Owens uses pink and teal for this cute card. She embosses her frame and die cuts it with the scallop-edged die from the Frames & Flags die set. She then pulls the pink striped paper from the Springtime paper pad and uses the Oval Frames die set. She places the bicycling trio from the Cycling Friends stamp set atop her oval.  A bit of twine, and ta-dah a sweet birthday card!

Diane Morales serves up birthday greetings straight from the barnyard!  Set on an oval card base (Oval Frames die set), Diane adds floating pink balloons in her pink sky (Balloon stencil set)! She then adds her landscape using the Land Borders die set. She adds a trio of farm critters from the Oink stamp and die set, Moo stamp and die set, and Bleat stamp and die set all decked out in their birthday hats!  What a way to celebrate someone's special day!

Sue T. gets her birthday party started by die cutting her embossed background with the postage-edged die from the Framework die set. She then layers on a rainbow-colored tiered cake from the Newton Loves Cake stamp and die set. She stamps her sentiment in a speech bubble (Speech Bubbles die set) and sprinkles some gems on for a bit of glam!  Time to slice that cake!

Amy Tollner's slimline card is filled to the top with birthday cuteness!  Beginning with big, fluffy clouds (Clouds stencil), Amy adds a trio of colorful balloons (Fabulous Frenchies stamp and die set) floating above her playful kittens from the Newton's Blooms stamp and die set.  Look closely and you'll spy a little ladybug enjoying the fresh, green grass die cut using the Land Borders die set.  Her entire scene has been die cut using the scallop-edged frame die from the Slimline Frames & Portholes die set.  If that wasn't enough cuteness, Amy adds a bumblebee and a duo of butterflies!  

Claire Lamb begins with white confetti (Confetti stencil) on her white card base. She adds a peach distressed layer on which Newton from the Newton's Cupcake stamp and die set is looking quite happy with his buttercream-frosted chocolate cupcake in its dark peach polka-dotted cake liner!  Do you think Newton will be willing to share? 😺

 Debbie Owens uses a kitten from the Smitten Kittens stamp set with a birthday hat from the Newton's Birthday Bash stamp set. She places him on festive circles die cut using the Circle Frames die set on which she has stamped the image from the Birthday Roundabout stamp set on one. She stamps "It's your day!" on a banner from the Banner Trio die set. The "Celebrate" sentiment is from the Birthday Essentials stamp set. Super festive!

Inky Paws Challenge #129 Reminder

Don't forget - There's still time to play along with our latest Inky Paws Challenge!

Have you had a chance to make a card for our latest Inky Paws Challenge? 
Today I'm sharing some more inspiration for our current challenge! 

Here'a a refresher.
Create a project using the sketch below:  

Today I have some more inspiration for this Challenge! 

It's all about yummy Popsicle pops in Sue T.'s summery card!  Her pattern paper matches the summery treats from the  Summer Scoops stamp and die set. She selects the Popsicle lovin' Newton from the Newton's Summer Treats stamp and die set for her central attraction.  What a fabulous way to stay cool!

 Becky Noelle makes a water shaker card that is just too amazing!  Beginning with the Slimline Frames & Portholes die set, Becky creates her shaker base. She uses elements from the Purr-maid Newton and Narly Mermaids stamp sets for her watery backdrop. She then adds sand and glitter in water for her "shaker" element.  Her wonderfully colored tabby from the Scuba Newton stamp set can be seen enjoying all those underwater delights!

Any one need a hug?  Crystal Komara's card has some friends ready to give free hugs!  With rays of sun from the Sunscape stencil shining in the background, she adds some sparkling waves using the Sea Borders dies set before adding her trio of shark friends from the Shark Bites stamp and die set.  The waves in front are filled with small schools of fish darting among the friendly meat eaters!  

 Debbie Owens mixes and matches stamp and die sets together this farm scene filled with critters!  She begins with the red scallop-edged frame die cut using the Slimline Frames & Portholes die set and adds her trio of square windows using the Slimline Frames & Windows die set.  She uses some fun farm pattern paper to place in her window and the Land Borders die set for a little hill in the center panel. The little brown fence was cut using the Fence die.  All the critters come from the Bleat, Oink, Moo, Cluck, and Neigh stamp sets. At last, she adds her birthday sentiment on a little red banner cut from the Banner Trio die set. 

Diane Morales has another Halloween card to share using the challenge sketch!  Using the Slimline Frames & Windows die set, she adds her white frame on a black card base then uses the Floral Lace stencil to create the bright panels on card stock. She adds a variety of scary skeletons from the the Spooky Skeletons stamp and die set.  She uses the Banner Trio die set to add the fun sentiment.  A bright, spooky design!

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along! Remember, you have until this Friday, August 14, 2020 to enter. There's a prize involved too, so don't delay - view all the entries and see more inspiration on our Inky Paws Challenge here!
