Priscilla designs this amazing card using the Gingham stencil and Sunflower Days stamp set. The checkered pattern in the daisies' centers mimics the gingham layer for a very striking look!  Wow!

Diane's FAVE

Nars Creative Corner uses the full-front image from the Blooming Botanicals stamp set for her background layer and lets it shine through by using vellum for the other layered element.

Here'a a refresher.

Create a project using hearts!

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

Debbie Owens goes a bit rogue from her counterparts and uses some nontraditional Valentine colors for her punny card.  She uses the newly released A7 Frames & Banners die set to make her fuchsia scalloped layer and adheres it to her black card base. She then uses the Gingham stencil in a dark gray for her 'place setting'. She die cuts two hearts( Heart Frames die set) and shades them in gray and fuchsia. Her main entree...I mean attraction is the little kitten from the Knead Kittens stamp set with his jelly jar sidekick from the Love Bites stamp set. A bit of Glossy Accents adds a bit of dimension and shine to her jam!  

Bon appétit

Diane Morales' card is brimming with hearts!  Beginning with the Circle Frames die set, she creates her shaped card base. Then adds a layer of hearts from the Love and Meows paper pad. She continues by adding more hearts using the Heart Frames die set. On a wavy black banner (A7 Frames & Banners die set) she heat embosses the sentiment from the Love Bots stamp set.  Heart overload, and loving it!

Sue T. is featuring this darling duo from the Newton's Sweetheart stamp and die set. Don't you love how their tails form a heart?  {sigh} She then adds a vellum heart die cut from the Heart Frames die set.  All of this is atop an ombre heart strip created using the Bokeh Hearts stencil.  Definitely romance in the air!

Amy Tollner's card uses the Heartfelt Love stamp which always reminds me of a box of chocolate!  She embosses the image in white on her ombre' heart die which was cut using the scallop-edged die from the Heart Frames die set. She sets this atop an ombre' bed of hearts using the newly released Petite Hearts stencil and die cut using the scalllop-edged die from the A7 Frames & Banners die set.  Her embossed sentiment has been die cut using the round-edged die from the Banner Trio die set.  Pretty in pinks, indeed!

Claire Lamb goes all out with a super-sized shaker card using the A7 Frames & Banners die set.  How fun is this?  Behind all those sparkly sequins, you'll spy lots of hearts die cut using various dies from the Heart Frames die set.  Atop a vellum heart, she has added a trio of black mini banners with sentiments from the Heartfelt Blooms stamp set. Anyone else want to give this card a little shake?

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along!  Remember, you have until this Friday, February 11, 2022 to enter. There's a prize involved too, so don't delay - see more inspiration on our Inky Paws Challenge here!

Create a project using the theme--Cozy Plaid!

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

 Claire Lamb uses a blue gingham paper for a cozy setting for her trio of felines.  Those amazingly colored kittens are from the Caroling Newton and coordinating die set.  Holiday caroling just wouldn't be complete without some snow. Those pretty snowflakes in the background come from the 

the  Holiday Post stamp set. Oh so sweet!

Debbie Owens showcases just one of the amazing cocktails from the newly released Christmas Cocktails stamp set.  She places it on a bold, black backdrop die cut using the scallop-edged die from the Framework die set. She then uses the large scallop-edged die from the  Frames & Flags die set to die cut her black & white plaid paper. A few red drops and pink & red twine ties her card together! Cheers!

Diane Morales showcases the newly released Meowy Christmas paper pad. She uses the lime green plaid paper that is a wonderful fit with the snow couple from the also newly released Snow Much Cheer stamp and coordinating die set. She places her sweet couple on a scallop-edged circle (Circle Frames die set) and uses the scallop-edged frame die from the Framework die set for a fun shaped card!  Snow cute!

Sue T. creates an original plaid using the Gingham stencil and adding white polka dots. A very festive backdrop for her darling kittens from the Autumn Newton stamp and coordinating die set. The circular window allows more of her amazing background to show giving her card lots of texture!  Super cute!

 Amy Tollner showcases the book lovin' kittens from the Newton's Book Club and coordinating die set. She provides them a pretty room in which to read with the Hardwood stenciled floor and the pink and yellow walls decked out in plaid using the Plaid stencil.  She uses the banner die from the  Slimline Frames & Windows die set for her sentiment as well as the postage-edged frame die from the Framework die set. So cute!

Create a project using this fabulous sketch!

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

Sue T. showcases the Newton's 4th of July stamp and coordinating die set in a fun, unique way.  She uses this set as a way to celebrate someone's birthday. Using pastel colors and the Fireworks stencil, Sue creates a soft, festive background in pinks, oranges, and green.  She continues those colors on Newton with his sparklers!  So cute!  She uses the Frames & Flags die set for her embossed background and the Fancy Edges Tag die set for her banner!  Thanks, Sue for showing how to stretch our stamps!

Amy Tollner's card will have you planning your next BBQ!  She creates a picnic table background using the Hardwood stencil. She then mimics a table cloth using the Gingham stencil and die cutting with the smaller square die from Frames Squared die set.  She stamps the image from the BBQ Roundabout stamp set on red and die cuts the "plate" using the scallop-edged circle from the Circle Frames die set.  He star of the picnic is the scrumptious hamburger from the Buns Out stamp and coordinating die set. Doesn't he look stunning in his shades?  Using the banner die from the Frames & Flags die set, Amy creates her banner and stamps the sentiment.  A perfect picnic!

Claire Lamb packs her Halloween card with tons of fun using only one stamp set! 

 Using the Hoppy Halloween stamp set, Claire stamps the little candy images repeatedly on her base.  This is a fabulous way to utilize those small images and make your own pattern paper!  She then stamps one of the sweet bunny images from same stamp set and cuts with the coordinating die.  Don't you love the way she colored her bunny!  To finish, she white embosses the sentiment on her black banner! 

 Debbie Owens takes us to the beach filled with seashells!  She begins by using the Seashells stencil. She adds her next layers using dies from the Frames Squared die set and the Frames & Flags die set.  For more beach fun, she stamps the image from the Seashell Roundabout stamp set and die cut using the scallop-edged die from the Circle Frames die set.  Enjoying all the seashells is Newton from the Newton's Seashell stamp.  She adds an extra banner with the sentiment.  Deb's color palette is beautiful and gives her card a very beachy feel!

Diane Morales' card is sure to brighten your day with a smile and a giggle!  Her square card base uses the large die from the Frames Squared die set. On her base, she adds bright blue waves using the Wave stencil. She adds her vertical banner using a die from the Frames & Flags die set.  For her center elements, Diane pulls out the Sky Scene Builder die set to add the sun and clouds.  She pulls it altogether with the hamburger image from the Buns Out stamp and coordinating die set. So much cuteness!
