Inky Paws Challenge #197 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 colors--Royal Blue, Olive Green, Sunshine Yellow, and White.

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

Debbie Owens uses the Floral Lace stencil to create her amazing distressed background in the challenge colors.  She adds a sprig of yellow roses from the Roses stamp set with a sentiment banner (Frames & Flags) beneath. She creates the square card base using the Frames Squared die set. The subtle floral lace compliments the roses wonderfully!

Diane Morales was also inspired to use yellow roses on her design.  Diane opts for the Heartfelt Roses stamp set that has been placed on layers created using the Heart Frames die set. For added texture, she uses the Serene Stripes stencil on her blue card base.  She pulls the dimensional banner from the Banner Trio die set for her sentiment.  A beautiful heart-shaped card!

Amy Tollner's card is bursting with tulips!  On a scallop-edged frame (Frames & Flags die set), Amy makes fluffy clouds (Clouds stencil) and a garden of tulips using the Spring Garden Line stencil. She then showcases one of the ladies from the Loads of Blooms stamp and coordinating die set who has been enjoying a day of picking tulips from her garden. Also enjoying the tulips are two little butterflies from the Newton's Birdbath stamp and coordinating die set. Amy pulls the Mother's Day sentiment from the Mom & Dad stamp set and stamps it on a banner from the Banner Trio die set. A pretty way to send love to one's mother!

Claire Lamb creates the most amazing rainy day scene!  She uses the trio of puddle-stomping cats from the Newton's Rainy Day Trio stamp and coordinating die set. The reflection of this trio is spectacularly done as is the rain!  She pulls sentiments from the Newton's Umbrella stamp set.  Anyone else want to take coloring classes from Claire?  😺

Crystal O. Minkler's vintage blue truck from the Spring Haul stamp set is filled with pretty yellow flowers.  Her green and white gingham blanket is a great way to incorporate green into her design.  Crystal uses the yellow gingham paper from the Spring Blooms paper pad for the card base.  The Frames & Flags die set was used for the sentiment, and the Circle Frames die set for the circular elements.  A beautiful way to enjoy a spring day!

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along!  Remember, you have until this Friday,  May 12, 2023 to enter. There's a prize involved too, so don't delay - see more inspiration on our Inky Paws Challenge here!

What a wonderful way to utilize your dies!

Debbie Owens uses three trucks from the Love Quarry stamp set for this sweet card just perfect for a little boy!  She places her vehicles on little squares made using the Slimline Frames & Windows die set, and those heart filled hills were made using paper from the Love & Chocolate paper pad and the Land Borders die set.  Super fun!

Diane Morales's card will have your taste buds yearning for one of those scrumptious strawberries!  To make this amazing card, she uses the Heart Frames die set for her card base.

Amy Tollner's card showcases the smitten kittens sharing a bottle of milk from the Newton's Sweetheart stamp and the coordinating die set. She uses the Frames Squared die set to create her red card base, and the Heart Frames die set for her red heart.  She uses the coordinating paper from the Love & Meows paper pad.  So cute!

Inky Paws Challenge #184 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 theme, Halloween, with your NND Products.

The IPC Design Team has more cute, but spooky, Halloween cards to inspire you!

Amy Tollner creates a spooky evening sky in shades of purple complete with a full moon (Sky Scene Builder die set). Then she adds an old tree and owl from the Spooky Street stamp set.  She adds some tombstones (Spooky Street stamp set) on her black grass (Land Borders die set).  Enjoying this spooky occasion are critters from the Halloween Pile Up stamp and die set.  For her postage-edging, she uses the Framework die set.  Spook-tacularly done!

The Frames Squared die set was used to create this darling card created by Claire Lamb. Claire distresses a beautiful evening sky just right for our mysterious Count Newton from the Count Newton stamp and die set. She adds a rolling landscape in black using the Land Borders die set.  The added bats and tombstones complete this eerie scene!

Debbie Owens creates her own spooky scene with a full moon (Circle Frames die set) spotlighting Count Newton from the Batty Newton stamp set as he flies through the sky! She, too, uses the creepy tree from the  Spooky Street stamp set.  She then adds some colorful Jack-o-lanterns from the Newton's Boo-tiful Night stamp set.  Isn't Newton looking cute with his head poking out of the black pumpkin?  The sentiment was pulled from the Count Newton stamp set.

Our gals are on a roll with spooky backgrounds!  Diane Morales adds spooky lavender clouds  (Clouds stencil) to her cemetery scene filled with headstones from the Spooky Street stamp set.  Bravely strolling through this scene is Newton and his pals from the Halloween Pile Up stamp and die set. No spooky scene can be complete without some added bats!  

Sue T. fills her background with embossed spooky bats using the Flying Bats stencil. She adds a full moon complete with craters, which she makes using the Bokeh stencil.  She adds her Count Newton from the Batty Newton stamp and die set in front of her big moon.  She adds a sentiment from the hSpooky Roundabout stamp set.  Of course, she completes her card with spooky bats!  

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along!  Remember, you have until this Friday, October 21, 2022 to enter. There's a prize involved too, so don't delay - see more inspiration on our Inky Paws Challenge here!
