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 theme-Summer




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



Stay cool by Debbie features Newton's Summer Vacation, Dog Days of Summer, Circle Frames, and Waves by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #summercards, #catcards
Debbie Owens'  card shows a couple of fun ways to stay cool on a hot summer day.  She creates layers of bubbles beginning with the Bokeh Stencil set and texture paste. She uses the Waves stencil on a mint green background to create her watery backdrop which she then die cuts using the smaller circle die from the Circle Frames Die set.  She adds the kitty on his polka dotted floatie from the Newton's Summer Vacation stamp set and the puppy from the Dog Days of Summer stamp set.  She adds some enamel dots for some added bubbles. A fun way to stay cool!




Beach days are never ruff by Diane features Beach Barks, Circle Frames, and Sea Borders by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #dogcards, #summercards
Diane Morales uses the Circle Frames die set to create her scallop-edged card base.  She adds a sandy landscape using the Sea Borders die set.  She adds the darling duo from the newly released Beach Barks stamp and cuts using the coordinating die set.  Don't you just love these puppies in their summer apparel!  Two seashells complete her darling card!



Hello summer by Sue T. features Speech Bubbles, Newton's Perfect Wave, and Tropical Fringe by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #catcards, #summercards
Sue T. uses bright colors for her summer card!  She finds a starfish paper and a summertime Washi tape that are go perfectly with our favorite surfer--Newton!  He is from the Newton's Perfect Wave stamp and coordinating die set.  Sue stamps the sentiment from the Tropical Fringe stamp set and die cuts using the Speech Bubbles die set.  She shades the summer sentiment in the same summery colors!  Fabulous!






Happy 4th of July by Amy features Newton's 4th of July, Woodland Spring, Fireworks, and Frames & Flags by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #cardmaking, #catcards
Amy Tollner showcases the newly released Newton's 4th of July stamp and die set on her slimline card that is bursting with holiday celebrations!  On her dark blue background, she adds shimmery fireworks using the Fireworks stencil.  Her grassy hills were made using the dies from the Land Borders die set.  She sprinkles in some flowers pulling from the Woodland Spring stamp and coordinating die set. She stamps the sentiment on the banner die in the Frames & Flags die set.  Don't you just love all the critters enjoying their Independence Day?  So fun!



You lift me up by Claire features Delightful Doxies and Masking Circles and Squares by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #dogcards, #summercards, #cardmaking
Claire Lamb's card will inspire you to grab your kite and go outside to play on the next windy day!  She creates a brilliant distressed background utilizing the Masking Circles & Squares stencils on a slimline card base.  She then adds two playful puppies from the Delightful Doxies stamp and coordinating die set.  The extra butterflies also look like they are enjoying themselves!  Wonderful design!

    Summer kitties on the beach card by Naki Rager | Newton's Summer Vacation & Aloha Newton stamp sets by Newton's Nook Deisgns
    Naki created an awesome beach scene combining two or our Newton summer sets. The kitty in the hammock and tropical drink are from the new Aloha Newton stamp set and the kitty with the sandcastle and pail are from the Newton's Summer Vacation stamp set. 

    Summer watercolor palm tree card by Samantha  Mann | Paradise Palms stamp set by Newton's Nook Deisgns
    Samantha created an awesome watercolor beach scene on her card. She used distress markers to ink up the palm tree  from our Paradise Palms stamp set and watercolored over the top! The "summer lovin'" sentiment is from the new Dog Days of Summer Stamp set. 


    Summer watercolor Kitty with Hibiscus card by Stephanie Muzzulin | Aloha Newton stamp set by Newton's Nook Deisgns
    Stephanie created this awesome beach card! She used bright watercolors to color the kitty from the new Aloha Newton stamp set! She also added in the tiny die cut hibiscus and leaf from the Tiki Time stamp set! Such a perfect summery combo!  

    Summer Tiki card by Jess Gerstner | Tiki Time stamp set by Newton's Nook Deisgns
    What says summer more than a tiki drink? Jess used a whole crew of tiki faces  from our new Tiki Time stamp set across the bottom of her card! I love that pretty sky she put behind them! 


    Summer Hibiscus Earrings by Larissa Heskett | Hibiscus die set by Newton's Nook Deisgns
    Larissa created some beautiful summer earrings using the Hibiscus die set and shrink plastic! What a fun idea! These turned out amazing! She created those cool backer cards for them using the frame from the Garden Starter stamp set! 


    Summer dog and ice cream card by Jennifer Jackson | Dog Days of Summer Stamp set by Newton's Nook Deisgns
    I had fun playing along this month too! I created a dog card using the pup and ice cream from our new Dog Days of Summer Stamp stamp set.  I made a simple card, just adding a sentiment and some washi and flags ups this side using paper scraps! I thought it needed a little bling so I added on a big button!
