Diane Morales' butterfly-filled card is just precious! Her cute kitten is from the Captivated Kittens stamp and coordinating die set, and he looks so cute with the butterfly paper from the Springtime paper pad. For even more fluttering fun, she adds butterflies using the Gnome Garden stamp and coordinating die set. Also tucked in there is an scallop-edged oval using the Oval Frames die set. Sure hope this little guy catches one of those cute butterflies!

Amy Tollner fills her background with beautiful pink blooms using the retiring Bold Blooms stencil which she cuts using the scallop-edged frame from the A7 Frames & Banners die set. She breaks up her floral background with a three-panel frame and places all the sweet critters from the retiring Woodland Spring stamp and coordinating die set around the edges. She adds some extra flowers and some bling making this an absolutely darling spring card!

Claire Lamb's card will have you yearning for a nice, warm, sunny spring day to take a relaxing walk with your puppies! Her rays of sunshine were made using the Sunscape Stencil, and the quintet of puppies are from the Walking Woofs stamp set. With tons of masking, Claire makes a floral path using the flowers from the Cycling Friends stamp set. Such a darling and happy card!

Crystal Minkler gives us the flip side of spring--those wonderful spring showers that pave the way for the flowers! She pulls the cloudy paper from the Springtime paper pad and continues with some clouds on her postage-edged frame layer (Framework die set) using the Petite Clouds stencil. The best part of April showers? Getting to wear fashionable rain boots, and her lavender ones are so, so cute! This darling calico kitty and ducky are from the Newton's Rain Boots stamp set and coordinating die set. Dare I say, "Bring on the rain!" LOL

Debbie Owens also showcases the darling kitty and ducky from the Newton's Rain Boots stamp set. Unlike Claire's pretty lavender rain boots, Deb goes for some bold red ones, which are just as cute! Deb uses scraps from the Springtime paper pad to create the fun background which she die cuts using the scallop-edged die from the Framework die set. She stamps her sentiment pulled from the Floral Roundabout stamp set on a banner (Banner Trio die set). A fun, colorful way to celebrate spring!

Inky Paws Challenge #144 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 the below sketch. 

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

Amy Tollner's pastel Easter card is just too cute!  With a pastel blended background, Amy adds shimmer using the Basketweave stencil and texture paste.  She then creates a cloudy sky using the Clouds stencil which is die cut using the scalloped frame from the Circle Frames die set and adds grass using the Hills & Grass stencil. Pastel banners are die cut using the Frames & Flags die set.  She stamps and colors the kitty with his Easter basket using the Newton's Peeps stamp and die set. She colors her peeps in pink, lavender, and yellows!  So cute!  For added interest, she adds more chicks and butterflies from the Newton's Birdbath stamp and die set butterflies.  Seriously, this is amazingly cute!

Claire Lamb knows how to celebrate birthdays in cuteness!  She partially distresses a pastel background. Then she uses the Confetti stencil to add texture and shimmer.  She pops on some little clouds and adds the kitten with his colorful balloons from the Newton's Birthday Balloons stamp and die set.  She adds a black and white diagonal banner and a white one with the sentiment.  So much cuteness!

Debbie Owens uses pastel teals and purples to distress her background with a little splattering of white. She die cuts it using the scalloped frame from the Frames & Flags die set. She then distresses the coffee mugs from the Mugs stencil on a darker purple before die cutting using the large circle die from the Circle Frames die set. She stamps the sentiment from the Love Cafe stamp set on a banner die cut using the banner die from the Frames & Flags die set. She focal attraction is the striped kitten in his paper-pieced mug from the Newton's Mug stamp set. She adds glossy accents to give it a more ceramic look.  A super cute coffee card!

In orange and yellows, Diane Morales brings in spring with this bright, bold card!  She uses the Frames Squared die set to create her scallop-edged card base.  She uses the Bold Blooms stencil to create an orange-on-orange floral layer.  She uses the Frames & Flags die set to create a lime banner and a white one on which she stamps the sentiment.  The beautiful butterfly from the Monarchs stamp and die set is her central element.  So lovely!

Sue T.'s Easter card showcases the fun Spring Roundabout stamp set. With her white card base, she die cuts a circle from the embossed layer.  Within the circle, you'll see the sweet Easter images from the  Spring Roundabout stamp set. Sue adds Washi tape for the sketch banners. She stamps the sentiment on a white rectangle and pops atop the circular element.  A sweet way to send Easter wishes!

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along!  Remember, you have until this Friday, March 26, 2021 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!

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

Bobbi Lemanski creates this fabulous card by creating a watery background on which she adds her vertical striped lake-themed paper. She creates her tag and adds a navy blue border.  She runs rope through the little tabs at the top and adds a bit of jute.  She stamps the poem from the Lake Advice stamp set.  She embosses the birthday sentiment from the Cocktail Mixer stamp set in white on a red strip. A sprinkling of blue sequins completes the card wonderfully.

Debbie Owens creates a rustic-like card by creating the background using the Tree Rings stencil and die cut using the Framework die set.  Instead of a vertical strip, she layers leaves using the Flower Trio die set before adding the center tag which she distresses the edges using brown ink. She adds the sentiment and cabin using the Winston's Lake House stamp set.  She adds a neutral twine and bow to finish it off.

Diane Morales creates this soft, sweet card which features one of the mice images from the Garden Mice stamp and die set. She creates her card base by cutting the Framework die set. She then cuts another layer using the Flags & Frames die set from this pretty floral paper. For her white tag, she adds texture using the Bold Blooms stencil. She adds her sentiment (Garden Mice) on a white tag and hangs it on with a yellow and white twine. Super sweet!

 Sue T. creates this bright, bold card by coordinating the red polka dotted paper with the spots on the mushroom!  She cuts her base using the Framework die set and adds her pattern paper. For her center tag, she adds the sentiment and this sweet mouse from the Garden Mice stamp and die set. To finish her card, she tops the tag with a white and black striped washi tape.  Too cute!

Becky Noelle creates this stunning card by using texture paste on the Bold Blooms stencil set. She then carefully colored in the flowers on top of the textured paste!  Just amazing!  She then added a vellum striped layer. For her center banner she stamps the sentiment from the April Showers stamp set. She winds jute twine several times and adds a bow to finish it off.
