Becky Noelle creates a scallop-edged round card filled with Easter goodness.  Her light blue distressed background showcases the bunnies from the Hop Into Spring stamp set. Becky's pastel eggs are a fabulous way to celebrate the holiday!

Crystal Komera has created a sweet hello with this stunning sky scene! She used our 

Newton Dreams of Paris stamp and die set to add that kitty in his hot air ballon in front of the colorful inked sky! She adds some cloudy edges along the top and  bottom using our Sky Borders die set and adds more colorful clouds with vellum. 

This trio of sweet ballerinas from the The Nutcracker Squeak stamp set look fabulous in their pastel tutus!  Debbie Owens places them is a field of flowers using a flower stamp from the Woodland Spring stamp set. She adds a blue sky with fluffy embossed clouds from the Cloudy Sky stencil. She uses the Frames & Flags die set to cut the scallop-edged border and banner on which she adds a sentiment from the Easter Lily stamp set.  

Diane Morales puts the Raindrop stencil to good use using purple and blue inks to create the lightly distressed background. She pulls out the raccoon umbrella image from the Umbrella Pals stamp and die set and colors in shades of pinks and yellows. The lavender scallop-edged card base (Frames & Flags die set) make for a wonderful card base. 

Sue T. designs a sweet Easter card by stamping several flower images as well as hearts from the Cottage Garden stamp set in pastels.  Using the Simply Seasonal stamp set, she stamps the Happy Easter greeting. She adds strips of coordinating papers at the bottom and die cuts using the Frames & Flags die set to create the scallop edges.  A sprinkling of gems adds a wonderful touch of glam!

Inky Paws Challenge #94 Reminder

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

Here'a a refresher.

Color Challenge

Create a project using the colors: white, pink, baby blue, and mint.

Today I have some more inspiration for this Challenge! 

Becky Noelle creates a fabulous textured background and adds a partial light green doily on which she stamps the sentiment from the Loads of Blooms stamp set. She creates a very full tulip bouquet (Loads of Blooms) by adding layers of tulips and using dimensional tape. Definitely a lovely card! 
  

Bobbi Lemanski creates these sweet trio of cards by pulling out the smaller elements from the  Sending Hugs stamp set and repeatedly stamping. She softly colors them in the pastel challenge colors and adds a small banner with a single word sentiment.  Not sure which is cuter--the ice cream cones, the cupcakes, or the bouquet of spring flowers?  They are all just precious!

Debbie Owens gets us in the mood for camping!  She begins by grounding her design with a blue vertically striped paper. She then cuts the sentiment layer using one of the dies from Framework die set. She stamps the camping sentiment from the Cozy Campers stamp set and adds some flowers. She then uses the challenge colors to shade the vintage travel camper.  The little pink flamingos are a whimsical touch to finish the scene.

Diane Morales creates this delightful card by using the Framework die set for her card base.  She uses mint green and sky blue to create her amazing background using the Bokeh stencil set. She incorporates the pink form the challenge colors by coloring the large flower from the Garden Mice stamp and die set in pink. Using the banner from the Frame & Flags die set, she stamps the sentiment.  Again, so delightful!

Sue T. creates this striking Easter card by using the challenge colors for her pretty background using the Argyle stencil set. She then stamps a trio of sweet bunnies from the Cottage Garden stamp and die set. She then pairs the bunnies up with the "Hippity Hoppity" sentiment from the Spring Pile Up stamp set.  Just love how Sue mixes and matches sets to create such a fun card!

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along! Remember, you have until this Friday, April 5, 2018 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!

Inky Paws Challenge #93 Reminder

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

Here'a a refresher.

Create a project using Spring as your theme. 

Today I have some more inspiration for this Challenge! 

Sue T. creates this spring card that will brighten up someone's day!  She creates her sunny background using the Sunscape stencil. She die cuts this using the Framework die. She then repeatedly stamps the sentiment from the Cottage Garden stamp in a pale pink. She cuts this into a tag using the Fancy Edges dies before adhering the tulip images from the Cottage Garden and die set.  She adds a twine bow for a finishing touch. Such a pretty way to brighten someone's day!

Becky Noelle creates this pop up box card that is loaded in spring fun! After creating her box, Becky hides Easter eggs in the grass layers she created using the Land Borders die set. Also hiding in the grass is an Easter basket full of goodies including a kitty with bunny ears from the Newton's Easter Basket stamp set. She adds the sentiment and a couple of more eggs on the front flap!  This is definitely an egg-stra special card!

Bobbi Lemanski creates a fabulous 3 1/4 x 8 inch CAS card!  She begins by repeatedly stamping the small flower image from the Loads of Bloom stamp set in black.  She colors  and die cuts the main image again from Loads of Bloom in bright springy colors. She adds lots of twine and finishes her card by adding black and white stripes to the two edges.  A fabulous card to celebrate spring!

Debbie Owens creates this bright, spring card with a lime-green gingham paper die cut using the Framework die set.  She then uses the Bold Blooms stencil to create yellow, orange, and pink flowers which cut into a circle.  Using the Frame & Flags die set, she creates a shortened banner with her punny sentiment. For the finale, she stamps this delightful bunny from the Bunny Hop stamp set.

Diane Morales' card is definitely making the world a better place. She creates her pretty background using pastel yellows and the Bold Blooms  stencil set.  She then colors this lovely girl on her bicycle from the Loads of Bloom stamp set.  Such a lovely card!

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along! Remember, you have until this Friday, March 22, 2019 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!

Debbie creates this festive card by creating a pale pink background using the  Bubbly stencil. She adds  black and white washi tapes before adding the sweet kitties from the Newton Celebrates and Newton's New Year stamp sets. She adds a bit of gel pen and sequins for some some shine!

Diane Morales brings on the sweetness with this cutie!  Starting with the Tumbling Hearts stencil she creates a gray and pink romantic background on a white card base die cut using the center die from the Frames & Flags die. Then she softly colors the feline couple from Newton's Sweetheart stamp set in soft grays.

Sue T. brings us this elegant card using a base of gingham pattern paper which use die cuts with the scalloped edge die from the Frames & Flags die set.

Then she adds her sentiment from the Simply Sentimental stamp set which she embosses in white on a black background. So elegant!

Bobbi Lemanski brings us this darling and whimsical card. She begins by hand drawing the trees in gray and adds pink and red leaves. She then adds a darling camping scene using the
Cozy Campers stamp and die set.  She adds lots of pink flamingos which she places on the different horizons using the Land Borders die set. In the foreground, she incorporates this naughty raccoon from the  Raccoon Rascals stamp set.  Darling!

Becky Noelle combines three stamp sets to create this artistic delight. She stamps the leafy wreaths and sentiment from the Happy Little Thoughts stamp.

Debbie Owens cuts the frame using the  Framework die set. Then stamps a floral image and sentiment from the Peony Blooms stamp set. She then stamps and fussy cuts another floral image and colors it. She adheres to the frame using dimensional tape and adds enamel dots and washi tape to finish her card.

Emily Lauritzen brings us this playful card featuring the Playful Pandas stamp set. She creates the background by using the Sunscape stencil. She then creates a circular track allowing the panda to playfully spin around the card. Using the Playful Pandas dies, she colors and cuts the bamboo to add the bottom border.

Sue T. creates this fabulous background using the Tropical Leaves stencil. She adds a sentiment from the Newton's Pot of Gold stamp set. Using the Frames & Flags die set, she creates the different layers for the backgrounds. At last she colors and cuts the those sweet toucans from  the Toucan Party stamp and die set.
