Inky Paws Challenge #225 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's a refresher.

Use the challenge sketch above. 

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

Claire Lamb uses a horizontal interpretation of the sketch, and it's spectacular.  The ink-blended circles look amazing with the flowers from the  Floral Delights stamp and coordinating die set. For her circles, she made masks/stencil using the Frames Squared die set.  Creative and beautiful!

Crystal Minkler's birthday card is perfect for anyone who loves coffee. Her coffee-stained panel was die cut using the Framework die set. She then uses the Heartfelt Coffee stamp image which she die cuts using a heart die from the Heart Frames die set, and a circle die from the Circle Frames die set. All that coffee goodness makes for a "brew-tiful" card!

Danni Bindel also creates a birthday card using the sketch. Her bright and festive card features the darling llama from the Loveable Llamas stamp and coordinating die set. She pairs him with tons of different birthday papers from the Birthday Party paper pad. Her many layers were cut using dies from the Circle Frames and the Framework die sets.  Let the party begin!

Debbie Owens card features the margarita loving feline from the Newton Loves Taco stamp set. To create a bright and festive mood, she uses the Petite Paw Prints stencil for her background which was die cut using the Frames & Tags die set. She adds striped paper from the Birthday Meows paper pad. She pulls a sentiment from the Cat-itude stamp set and uses the Circle Frames die set to create her circular elements.  The overall effect is total cuteness!  Check out her blog for several variations of this card. 😊

Amy Tollner's card is filled with feline fun!  She uses the Pawprints stencil to create a subtle background panel die cut using the scallop-edged die from the A7 Frames & Banners die set. She wonderfullyy colors all those felines from the  Company of Cats stamp set and cuts using a die from the  Circle Frames die set. The fish skeleton paper A Cat's Life 6x6 Paper Pad is a fabulous touch!

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 this sketch!

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

Not into hearts?  Debbie Owens shows how you can interchange the heart element with a different shape. Her sweet card in pinks and grays showcases the Pawprint Shaker die set.  She pairs it up with the Stay Paw-sitive sentiment from the Cat-itude stamp set.  This sentiment is stamped on a decorative square cut using a die from the Slimline Frames & Windows die set. The big paw print combined with the little paw print paper makes for a darling card!

Diane Morales creates a beautiful tri-fold Valentine's card in a dark purple!  She uses the Heart Frames die set to create her heart element and stamps the large image from the Heartfelt Love stamp set and colors the hearts in browns and reds.  A creative way to showcase these newly released products!

Sue T. shows us another creative way for a card to open.  Instead of the card opening in a traditional manner, she has her heart opening to reveal a bonus sentiment from the Newton's Sweetheart stamp set.  The front of her card showcases the sweet kitty couple and sentiment from the  Newton's Sweetheart stamp set and cut using the coordinating die set. She uses a fun diagonal paper for her stripe and the inside of her heat.  A fun, fabulous way to interpret the challenge sketch!

Amy Tollner brings us a gorgeous card filled with flowers.  This card would work beautifully either as a Valentine's or wedding card!  She uses the Floral Lace stencil with shimmery texture paste for an elegant background adhered to a navy card base.  She continues with a navy blue heart die cut using the largest heart die from the Heart Frames die set.  She then stamps the floral image from the Heartfelt Roses stamp set and die cuts it using the scallop-edged die from the same set.  Her pink roses coordinate with her pink stripe. A bit of navy ribbon and jewels completes the elegance of her card!

Clarie Lamb delights us with another gorgeous card using a different floral set.  Claire embosses the flowers from the Peony Blooms stamp in white. Then she colors the peonies in oranges and pinks. {sigh} She cuts them out using the coordinating die set.  She pulls one of the fabulous sentiments from the Thankful Thoughts stamp set and stamps it on her heart element. She finishes off with yellow and white twine.  

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along!  Remember, you have until this Friday, February 12, 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!

Today I have some more inspiration for this Challenge!

This fun split-card design by Debbie Owens features pink, fluffy clouds (Cloudy Sky  stencil) peeking through the open, middle section. For the front of the card, she showcases animals from the from the Oink and the Moo stamp sets.  For the bottom section of the card, she adds hills using the Land Borders die set which she fences in using the Fence die set. For the top section, she creates clouds using the  Sky Borders die set with the birthday sentiment stamped on a die cut from the  Speech Bubbles die set. She scatters some flowers from the Dainty Daisies stamp set.

Using the Frames & Flags die set to create the base, Diane Morales brings us this sweet card with it's mindful sentiment from the Woodland Picnic stamp set.   She uses colors the deer and bunny again from the Woodland Picnic stamp and die set.  She adds pink butterflies from the Bitty Bunnies stamp and die set for her final touch!

Sue T. has created an adorable birthday card starting with her pink clouds using the Cloudy Sky stencil and die cut using a die from the Framework die set. She stamps her birthday sentiment from the new Cat-itude stamp set.  The main attraction is Newton from the Newton's Birthday Balloons stamp set soaring by with his enormous bouquet of balloons.   Sue added extra balloons using the Balloons Stencil.  (Don't you just love how see added the kitty face to the cat balloon!  CUTE!)

Becky Noelle shows off her creativity by using the challenge colors for an underwater adventure.  Beginning with a Kraft card base, she creates the seaweed by flipping the Waves stencil sideways, doing a lot of masking, and texturing in lime green.  She then adds pink coral and starfish from the Tranquil Tides stamp and die set along with a large red starfish, crab, and seahorse.  She stamps her sentiment and adds some white splatters to complete this amazing card!

Bobbi Lemanski creates this beautiful card by combining several stamp sets. On a red background, she adds a lime green layer with a pink vertical stripe. She then stamps several tiny background flowers from the Loads of Blooms stamp set. She adds several leaves from the Beautiful Leaves stamp and die set on which she places the pretty vintage typewriter from the My Type stamp and die set. Wonderfully designed!
