latest Inky Paws Challenge!

  
Have you had a chance to make a card for our latest Inky Paws Challenge

Here's a refresher.

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


Boo-yah! by Debbie features Ghostly Good Times, Halloween Times, Spooky Line Street, and Frames Squared by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #halloweencards, #cardmaking, #cardchallenge, #puppycards
Debbie Owens creates a spooky square card using the Frames Squared die set. On a yellow background, she adds her background using the Spooky Line Street stencil. She then adds a shimmering puppy ghost from the Ghostly Good Times stamp set. The black and yellow paper from the Halloween Time paper pad adds to the fun as do the little touches of fuchsia!



Amy Tollner's candy-filled card is any trick-or-treaters' dream! That candy filled background comes from the Halloween Woofs Paper Pad. She adds a trio of trick-or-treaters from the Halloween Trio Stamp and coordinating die set. An added Jack-o-lantern bucket from the Count Newton Stamp and coordinating die set - pumpkin pail adds to the fun. The sentiment is stamped on a banner from the Banner Trio Die Set. Amy also uses the postage-edge frame from the Framework Die Set.



Claire Lamb uses shades of teal to make the cutest evening setting for her little ghosts! She uses the Spooky Line Street stencil to add the stars and the mini ghosts in the background. She then adds the kitty and puppy ghosts from the Ghostly Good Times stamp and die set. Who knew that teal would look so spooky? Nicely done, Crystal!


Crystal Minkler's card is so cute with ALL the pumpkins! Crystal pulls pumpkin papers from the Halloween Meows paper pad and matches with the little kitty from the Newton's Perfect Pumpkin stamp set. She adds a sentiment from the Spiderweb Oval stamp set as well as some bats using the Witchy Newton die set. A little vellum oval frames (Oval Frames die set) frames the sweet kitty witch! Adorable!



Danni Bindel creates a darling card featuring the perfect paper from the Halloween Time paper pad with the little witch from the Brooms & Boos stamp and coordinating die set. The little witch looks darling with the cauldron and different potions in the paper. To break up the paper, Danni uses one of the dies from the Framework die set. Fabulous combination!!

Thank you by Donna H. features Porch Swing Friends and Peony Blooms by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #cardmaking
Donna H. elected to use the Porch Swing Friends stamp and coordinating die set for her amazing card.  Her beautiful coloring and white space on the image really catches one's eye.  Paired with the rustic wood grain paper and trio of brads, her card delights with its country charm.  To make it a thank you card, she pulls a sentiment from the Peony Blooms  retired stamp set.



Debbie's FAVE
Home made by Irene features Made from Scratch, Fancy Edges Tag, and Holiday Home by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #cardmaking, #holidaycards
Irene's card will have you reaching for your baking tools to whip up some holiday treats!  Using the Made from Scratch stamp and coordinating die set, she uses the rolling pins for the sketch's horizontal stripe.  Having the other utensils around the oval edge draws the eye to the sentiment.  She also created a sweet matching tag using the Fancy Edges Tag die set and the Holiday Home stamp set.  



Diane's FAVE
Happy birthday to you by Jenny features Birthday Party, Birthday Oval, and Oval Frames by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #birthdaycards, #cardmaking
Jenny's use of bold, bright colors makes her card so cheerful and perfect to celebrate a birthday! She uses the Oval Frames die set to create her scalloped oval frame using paper from the Birthday Party paper pad. She uses another fun paper from the same pad for her horizontal stripe.  She wonderfully colors the birthday elements from the Birthday Oval stamp set in those bright, cheerful colors!



Sue's FAVE
Hello sunshine by Amy features Framework, Sunflower Days, and Houndstooth by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #autumncards, #cardmaking
Amy Tsuruta's clean, crisp card with its subtle coloring makes for such a fresh, beautiful card. She creates the white postage-edged frame using the Framework die set and attaches to a white card base.  She continues with the white on white with her use of the white ribbon.  On her oval, she creates a light blue background using the Houndstooth stencil. She lightly shades the sprig of sunflowers from the Sunflower Days stamp and die set. Her white on black sentiment makes for a nice pop of contrast.  



Amy's FAVE
Dayna's card features Newton Loves Tacos by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #cardmaking, #newtonsnook, #catcards
Dayna had the brilliant idea of making our taco-lovin' Newton from the Newton Loves Tacos stamp and die set into a spinning element!  How fun and clever!  Her choice of paper with its Mexican textile-like patterns works amazingly well with this Newton image.  Fantástico!

Have you had a chance to make a card for our latest Inky Paws Challenge
Today I'm sharing some more inspiration for our current challenge! 


Here'a a refresher.

Create a project using the sketch below.



Today I have some more inspiration for this Challenge! 

Debbie's card features Knight Owl, Frames & Flags,  Cascading Stars, Love Owl-ways, and Forest Scene Builder by Newton's Nook Designs; #newtonsnook
 A bit of old-fashion chivalry can be seen in Debbie Owens' fun card. Set amid a starry night made using the Cascading Stars stencil,  the chivalrous owl from Knight Owl stamp set saves a damsel in distress from Love Owl-ways stamp set. Both birds are on branches die cut using the 
Forest Scene Builder die set. The white scallop-edged frame was die cut using dies from Frames and Flags die set. 



Happy Halloween by Diane features Batty Newton, Clouds, Circle Frames, and Banner Trio by Newton's Nook Designs; #newtonsnook
Diane Morales has a special talent of turning sketches into circular cards!  Using the Circle Frames die set, she creates her card base and layers. She creates the royal blue sky using the Clouds stencil and adds a couple of black fluttering bats among them. Then she adds the vampire kitty from the Batty Newton stamp and die set. His red wings contrast wonderfully against the sky.  Using the sticker banner from the Banner Trio die set, she stamps the sentiment.  A creative way to use the sketch!



Trick or Treat by Sue T. features Framework, Ghost and Halloween Trio by Newton's Nook Designs; #newtonsnook
Sue T.'s Halloween card is filled with spooky ghosts!  She turns the sketch on its side and uses the  Framework die set to cut her dark gray layer. Using the Ghost stencil, she distresses the ghost images in white. She uses the Trick-or-Treat die from the Halloween Trio die set and cuts the sentiment twice--one in orange and one in black. She adheres them to create a shadow effect.  For her banners, she uses different Washi tapes in Halloween colors. Spook-tacular!



Happiness is coffee and a good book by Becky features Sips & Stories, Houndstooth, and Frames & Flags by Newton's Nook Designs; #newtonsnook
Becky Noelle creates a cozy scene that reminds me of my college days!  On her pretty background made using the Houndstooth stencil, she adds the two ladies from the Sips and Stories stamp set busily studying from stacks of books and enjoying some coffee! Her scene was die cut using the rounded-corner rectangle die from the Frames and Flags die set.  That little fur ball snuggled in for a nap is a purr-fect touch to this scene!



Wishing you a choo choo merry Christmas by Crystal features All Aboard for Christmas, Land Borders, and Framework by Newton's Nook Designs; #newtonsnook
Crystal Komara's Christmas train fun might inspire you to start decorating for Christmas!  She uses the All Aboard for Christmas stamp and die set and colors the holiday images in red, white, and pale blues. She sets them atop a white background with snowy white hills die cut using the Land Borders die set. Her red scallop-edged frame die cut fro the Framework die set, provides a bright foundation to pull everything together. 


I hope these projects have inspired you to play along!  Remember, you have until this Friday, September 25, 2020 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

Have yourself a sandy little Christmas by Becky features Sun Soaked Christmas by Newton's Nook Designs; #newtonsnook

Bobbi Lemanski creates the perfect pumpkin patch with her star-filled night sky !  She frames her sky with falling leaves from the Pumpkin Latte stamp set.

She adds her pumpkin-laden girl from the Pumpkin Latte stamp and die set.  She adds a speech bubble using the Speech Bubbles die set and stamps the pumpkin spice sentiment. To finish, she adds the birthday sentiment from the Birthday Essentials stamp set. Spectacular!

'Tis the season by Debbie features Caroling Newton and Snow Globe Scenes by Newton's Nook Designs; #newtonsnook
Debbie Owens keeps it very CAS with this sweet one-layer card. She stamps her background scene using elements from the Snow Globe Scenes stamp set. She then adds the little mouse from the Caroling Newton stamp set. She finishes by distressing light blue for her sky and adding snow to the ground and trees using Nuvo Crystal Drops.


Diane's card features Newton's Thanksgiving, Newton's Antics, and Speech Bubbles by Newton's Nook Designs; #newtonsnook
We all know cats sleep away most of their lives, but have you ever wondered what they dream about? Well, Diane Morales shows us with her darling card with a Thanksgiving twist. She begins with her card base and pattern paper in colors of fall. She adds the kitty from Newton's Antics stamp set and colors the box in green for a pop of color to coordinate with the veggies on the plate. Using the Speech Bubbles die set, she adds two bubbles and places food images from the Newton's Thanksgiving stamp set. Now we know, cats dream of turkey and pie!


Happy Halloween by Sue features Newton's Boo-tiful Night and Halloween Trio by Newton's Nook Designs; #newtonsnook
Sue T. creates this Halloween card in grays, creams, and teals, and it is just beautiful!  She repeatedly stamps the Happy Halloween sentiment from the Halloween Trio stamp set in dark gray. She lightly distresses over the words in a lighter gray to give her card a shadowy effect. Using the Newton's Boo-tiful Night stamp and die set, she selects the kitty in a pumpkin patch image. She colors the pumpkins in creams and teals, and her little kitty in gray. She pops her image using dimensional tape.  She scatters some enamel dots to finish her card! Lovely!
