 Debbie Owens starts the celebration with this delightful slimline card created using the Slimline Frames & Windows die set. She uses patriotic papers in each window and places a celebratory kitty in each window using images from the Newton's 4th of July stamp set. She stamps the sentiment on the little banner from the A7 Frames & Banners die set.

Diane Morales takes us under the sea with this a-meow-zing card!  She creates the watery background using the Waves stencil and adds a big white wave using the Sea Borders die set.  In shades of red and shades of blue are the two darling purr-maids from the Purr-Maid Newton stamp and die set. Such a creative use of the challenge colors!

Sue T. brings more 4th of July fireworks with this festive CAS card!  Using the Fireworks stencil, she adds red and blue firework blooms. Zooming past is Newton from the Newton's 4th of July stamp and die set on his very own rocket! She adds the sentiment in a speech bubble using the Speech Bubbles die set.  Ka-boom!

Amy Tollner creatively uses the Newton's Naptime stamp set for her red, white, and blue card!  Newton is snuggled atop a pile of patriotic blankets fast asleep with sparkling stars (Cascading Stars stencil) shining in the background. She uses the Frames & Flags die set to create her sentiment banner.  Fabulous!

Claire Lamb celebrates the 4th of July with lots of shimmer with her amazing card using the A7 Frames & Banners die set. In the windows, she uses black shimmery papers with firework blooms just purr-fect for the patriotic critters from the Newton's 4th of July stamp and die set.  Let the celebrations begin!

She stamps the fun sentiment, also from the Candy Corn stamp set, in the corner.  A colorful, playful card!

Amy Tollner creates a shimmery and colorful web using the Spiderweb stencil complete with two scary spiders from the Spooky Street stamp set!  Yikes! She uses the scallop-edged die from the Frames & Flags die set for a nice finished look. She then adds a teal banner die cut using one of the dies from Banner Trio die set and stamps the sentiment pulled from the Spooky Roundabout stamps. And caught in that pretty web is her sweet feline from the \Witchy Newton stamp set and die set.  Oh so pretty!

Claire Lamb creates a lovely CAS autumn card starting with her partial teal distressed backdrop.  she adds then adds her beautifully colored image from the Signs of Fall stamp and cut using the coordinating die set. She grounds her image by adding a white banner die cut using the Banner Trio die set.  Her falling leaves are the perfect touch for this spectacular card!

 Debbie Owens is back with a pretty horse from the Neigh stamp set. This time she adds the pumpkin-laden lady from the Pumpkin Latte stamp set. She uses the Clouds stencil to create her pretty sunset and the Land Border die set for her Kraft hill.  She adds the sentiment and extra leaves using elements from the Autumn Mice stamp set.  Her pretty scene has been die cut using the scallop-edged die from the Frames & Flags die set.  A delightful way to spend an autumn day!

Diane Morales uses the Circle Frames die set to create a circle card filled with all kinds of Halloween cuteness!  She uses the Cascading Star stencil for her starry backdrop, and then adds critters from the following sets: Newton's Costume Party stamp set and die set, Witchy Newton stamp set and die set, and 

 the Knight Owl stamp set and die set.  Don't you just love how you can mix and match Newton's Nook Designs images?  She finishes her card by embossing a sentiment from the Spooky Roundabout stamps on a banner die cut using the Banner Trio die set.  So cute!

 Debbie Owens creates this cozy outdoorsy scene!  For her lower horizontal element, Deb creates a lake with some cattails for Winston and his pal from the Winston's Lake House stamp set to paddle about in. When they get tired, they can return to their cabin also from the Winston's Lake House stamp set with the mountains (Mountains stencil) and pine forest (Snow Globe Scenes stamp set) in the background.  

 Floating above those mountains are lots of puffy clouds (Petite Clouds stencil).  What a little piece of paradise!

Diane Morales is showcasing the newly released Trick or Treat Kittens stamp and coordinating die set. This fluffy kitten is sure to become a Halloween favorite!  She creates the postage-edge base layer using the Frameworks die set. For her sketch stripe, she creatively uses the Sky Borders die set for her scalloped stripes.  The lavender, black and splash of orange make for a darling Halloween card!

Sue T. creates this sleepy card showcasing the napping Newton from the Newton's Naptime stamp set. As her sweet kitten catches some zzz's on a pile of pastel blue blankets, stars in the background gently fall about. Those stars were created using the Cascading Stars stencil. Anyone else want to snuggle up with this little calico?  

Amy Tollner showcases the Peony Blooms stamp and coordinating die set to create this elegant card!  The combination of polka dots, stripes, and touches of gold add up to a perfect backdrop for Amy's softly colored and very beautiful peonies!  

duuuunnnn duun… duuunnnnnnnn dun...

On a bright and sunny day (Sunscape stencil), under peaceful teal waves (Sky Borders die set) awaits...

a very hungry shark (Shark Bites stamp and die set) just waiting to jump out at you!  Yep, Claire Lamb creates an interactive shark card that might have you scared to open your mail!  Thanks, Claire, for showing how to use the Inky Paws sketch to make an interactive card!

Inky Paws Challenge #132 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! 

 A bit of old-fashion chivalry can be seen in Debbie Owens' fun card. Set amid a starry night made using the Cascading Stars stencil,  the chivalrous owl from Knight Owl stamp set saves a damsel in distress from Love Owl-ways stamp set. Both birds are on branches die cut using the 

Forest Scene Builder die set. The white scallop-edged frame was die cut using dies from Frames and Flags die set. 

Diane Morales has a special talent of turning sketches into circular cards!  Using the Circle Frames die set, she creates her card base and layers. She creates the royal blue sky using the Clouds stencil and adds a couple of black fluttering bats among them. Then she adds the vampire kitty from the Batty Newton stamp and die set. His red wings contrast wonderfully against the sky.  Using the sticker banner from the Banner Trio die set, she stamps the sentiment.  A creative way to use the sketch!

Sue T.'s Halloween card is filled with spooky ghosts!  She turns the sketch on its side and uses the  Framework die set to cut her dark gray layer. Using the Ghost stencil, she distresses the ghost images in white. She uses the Trick-or-Treat die from the Halloween Trio die set and cuts the sentiment twice--one in orange and one in black. She adheres them to create a shadow effect.  For her banners, she uses different Washi tapes in Halloween colors. Spook-tacular!

Becky Noelle creates a cozy scene that reminds me of my college days!  On her pretty background made using the Houndstooth stencil, she adds the two ladies from the Sips and Stories stamp set busily studying from stacks of books and enjoying some coffee! Her scene was die cut using the rounded-corner rectangle die from the Frames and Flags die set.  That little fur ball snuggled in for a nap is a purr-fect touch to this scene!

Crystal Komara's Christmas train fun might inspire you to start decorating for Christmas!  She uses the All Aboard for Christmas stamp and die set and colors the holiday images in red, white, and pale blues. She sets them atop a white background with snowy white hills die cut using the Land Borders die set. Her red scallop-edged frame die cut fro the Framework die set, provides a bright foundation to pull everything together. 

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along!  Remember, you have until this Friday, September 25, 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!

Becky Noelle's kaleidoscope of butterflies from the Monarchs stamp set can be seen fluttering around a blue arbor. She adds green grass using the Land Borders die set, which is zigzagged at the bottom.  The light spattering of blue in the background adds a fabulous touch!

Crystal Komara's card rivals the brilliance of the sun itself!  First, she selects a bright yellow polka dotted paper, then adds white horizontal stripes. She adds several sunflower sprigs from the Sunflower Days stamp and die set and shades them in the colors of the challenge.  The overall effect is pure sunshine!

 

Using the Waves stencil, Debbie Owens creates a subtle turquoise background for her lovely sprig of lilies from the Easter Lily stamp set. She pulls a sentiment from the newly released Floral Roundabout stamp set and stamps it on the oval banner from the Banner Trio die set. A few sequins and an orange bow ties the card up nicely.

Diane Morales is back with another fabulous tag!  Her tag begins with dark yellow stars on a yellow card stock using the Cascading Stars stencil. She die cuts using the Fancy Edges Tag die set. By using the Newton's Birthday Trio stamp and die set, she makes the tag into a fun, festive birthday treasure! Love how she uses the challenge colors for the speech bubbles!

Sue T. brings us birds from a tropical paradise. Using the toucans from the Toucan Party stamp set, she brightly shades them in the challenge colors and uses the coordinating die set to cut them out.  Using the Tropical Leaves stencil, she creates a canopy of leaves for them to play in.  She die cuts the postage-edged frame from the Framework die set and adheres it all together with pops of dimension tape. A wonderful way to let someone know "You're the Best!"

Aloha!  Sue T. brings us a touch of tropical!  Her three panels features the Tropical Fringe stamp set in pretty pinks and greens!  She adds the ukulele playing feline from the Aloha Newton stamp and die set. The pattern papers add a bright boldness to this delightful card!

 Becky Noelle creates a trio of banners using the Frames & Flags die set with stars and planets from the  Cosmic Newton stamp set.  Her sweet astronomer is also from the Cosmic Newton stamp set.  She places all these elements on a white card base with pearly, sparkly stars embossed using the Cascading Stars stencil. Becky's use of stitching adds a fun texture to this spectacular card!

Crystal Komara showcases the Dainty Daisies stamp and die set by coloring them in yellow and blue.  Her trio of scalloped frames and the yellow polka-dotted paper pulls the colors together wonderfully. 

 Debbie Owens creates a fun card to appreciate a teacher in your life.  With the fun alphabet paper, the trio of teachers from the Classy Teachers stamp set are a wonderful way to celebrate a special teacher.  Debbie also uses the Framework die set to create the postage edges and Darling Hearts die set for the little hearts. 

Diane Morales has a sweet spring take on the sketch. She creates her scene using the Land Borders die set for her grass and the Fence die set for her background. She adds a bunch of daisies from the Dainty Daisies stamp and die set on either side of the mouse from the Garden Mice stamp and die set. The scallop-edging was made using the Frames & Flag die set. Sweetness!
