Our Inky Paws Challenge Inspiration team has chosen a few of their favorite challenge entries from this challenge! If you see your card below, contact us if you'd like to get a "favorite" badge for your blog!

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!

Inky Paws Challenge #166 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? 

Here'a a refresher.

Create a project using hearts!

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

Debbie Owens goes a bit rogue from her counterparts and uses some nontraditional Valentine colors for her punny card.  She uses the newly released A7 Frames & Banners die set to make her fuchsia scalloped layer and adheres it to her black card base. She then uses the Gingham stencil in a dark gray for her 'place setting'. She die cuts two hearts( Heart Frames die set) and shades them in gray and fuchsia. Her main entree...I mean attraction is the little kitten from the Knead Kittens stamp set with his jelly jar sidekick from the Love Bites stamp set. A bit of Glossy Accents adds a bit of dimension and shine to her jam!  

Bon appétit

Diane Morales' card is brimming with hearts!  Beginning with the Circle Frames die set, she creates her shaped card base. Then adds a layer of hearts from the Love and Meows paper pad. She continues by adding more hearts using the Heart Frames die set. On a wavy black banner (A7 Frames & Banners die set) she heat embosses the sentiment from the Love Bots stamp set.  Heart overload, and loving it!

Sue T. is featuring this darling duo from the Newton's Sweetheart stamp and die set. Don't you love how their tails form a heart?  {sigh} She then adds a vellum heart die cut from the Heart Frames die set.  All of this is atop an ombre heart strip created using the Bokeh Hearts stencil.  Definitely romance in the air!

Amy Tollner's card uses the Heartfelt Love stamp which always reminds me of a box of chocolate!  She embosses the image in white on her ombre' heart die which was cut using the scallop-edged die from the Heart Frames die set. She sets this atop an ombre' bed of hearts using the newly released Petite Hearts stencil and die cut using the scalllop-edged die from the A7 Frames & Banners die set.  Her embossed sentiment has been die cut using the round-edged die from the Banner Trio die set.  Pretty in pinks, indeed!

Claire Lamb goes all out with a super-sized shaker card using the A7 Frames & Banners die set.  How fun is this?  Behind all those sparkly sequins, you'll spy lots of hearts die cut using various dies from the Heart Frames die set.  Atop a vellum heart, she has added a trio of black mini banners with sentiments from the Heartfelt Blooms stamp set. Anyone else want to give this card a little shake?

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along!  Remember, you have until this Friday, February 11, 2022 to enter. There's a prize involved too, so don't delay - see more inspiration on our Inky Paws Challenge here!

Need to get inspired? See what our Inspiration Team created with this challenge! 

 Claire Lamb features a sweet black kitty from the Newton's Naptime stamp set all snuggled up on a pile of cozy blankets shaded in the challenge colors!  Her lightly distressed pink background adds nice dimension.  She finishes with her sentiment stamped on a thought bubble using the Speech Bubbles die set.  Super sweet!

 Debbie Owens creates a background of pink, cotton candy clouds using the Clouds stencil for her trio of kittens from the Newton's Snowman stamp set.  She colors her frisky felines' winter accessories in the challenge colors. She creates snowy hills using the Land Borders die set, and die cuts her layers using dies from the Frames & Flags die set. A bit of red & white twine and Nuvo Drops as final touches.

Diane Morales' card may have you hankering for some conversation hearts! She creates a tall, skinny card using the Slimline Frames & Portholes die set.  She pulls the decorative square die from the Frames Squared die set and and die cuts a square in pink, white, and red. Using the Candy Heart stamp and die set, she adds a plethora of candy hearts as well as the main sentiment pulled from the Floral Roundabout stamp set.  A very sweet Valentine's card!

Sue T. gives us a ray of spring with her flowery card.  She uses the heart die from the Darling Hearts die set to cut a window on her card base and scalloped pattern paper.  Peeking behind her heart is the Floral Roundabout stamp image wonderfully colored in the challenge colors. She stamps the sentiment on the round-edged banner die Banner Trio die set. Such a clean, crisp card with a splash of spring freshness!

Amy T.'s card will bring a squeal of delight with her trio of pigs from the Oink stamp and die set! Set upon a red glittery card base, Amy adds her pink heart background using the Bokeh Hearts stencil and die cut using the scallop-edged frame die from the Slimline Frames & Portholes die set. Using the same die set, she adds another glittery red layer. She decks her little pigs out in teal attire including a little flower from the Newton's Valentine stamp set. To pull more teal into her card, she uses the banner die from the 

Slimline Frames & Windows die set and distresses it in teal and stamps the sentiment in teal.  Such a sweet Valentine's card!

Diane's FAVE

Jennifer R. perfectly layers her elements to make this fabulous autumn card. Those ladies are from the Pumpkin Latte stamp and die set, and they look wonderful in the fall colors.  The kraft doily, gingham ribbon, and burlap banner are wonderful elements!

Need to get inspired? See what our Inspiration Team created with this challenge!   

Debbie Owens's card showcases the newly released Bokeh Hearts stencil set and the Newton's Crafty Cardio stamp set. Using the Frames & Flags die set, she makes a red frame and adds a second layer with teal colored hearts made from the Bokeh Hearts stencil set. Adding a red heart from the Darling Hearts die set, she then layers the kitty from the Newton's Crafty Cardio stamp set. She draws in a red heart on the kitty's paper to pull in the Valentine theme!  What a wonderful new stamp set that is sure to become a favorite!

Diane Morales  uses one of the stencils from the Plaid stencil set to create the green, red, and blue pattern for her background. She uses the Framework die set to give it the postage-stamp edge. From the same die set, she cuts a white frame and places her flowers from the Dainty Daisies stamp and die set.  Such a bright, fresh way to use the challenge colors!

Sue T. mixes mugs from the Cup of Cocoa stamp and die set with bold black sentiments form the Cocktail Mixer stamp set. She adds fun papers in the challenge colors to get a perfect concoction of birthday cheer!  

 Becky Noelle creates a sweet, serene setting for her black and white cow from the Moo stamp and die set. On a scallop-edged base using the Frames & Flags die set, Becky adds green grass and rolling hills using the Land Borders die set. She adds puffy white clouds using the Cloudy Sky stencil on top of her clear, blue sky. The pop of red on the barn (Moo stamp and die set) provides the perfect final touch!  Moo-velous, indeed!

Feeling a little under the weather?  Then Crystal Komera's card is just what the doctor ordered!  On the light blue background die cut with the scallop-edged frame from Frames & Flags die set, she adds a green and blue plaid background. She adheres two shelves on the wall to hold medicine and a tissue box from the Newton's Sick Day stamp and die set. She also adds a darling feline nurse and patient from the same set. Don't you love the pop of red elements throughout the card?
