Claire Lamb creates a darling card with a column of red delicious apples.  These are from the Autumn Apples stamp and coordinating die set. She splatters some white on her kraft base and then adds a square using the Frames Squared die set for her sentiment with a fringe of red scallops using the Sky Borders die set.  What a fabulous card with all the apples!

Crystal Minkler is getting ready for the upcoming Christmas season.  She pulls papers from the Christmas Time paper pad and cuts many using dies from the Framework die set.  For her fun scene, she adds some snow using the Land Borders die set and a tree from the Forest Scene Builder die set. That cute red VW Bug is from the Destination Christmas stamp and coordinating die set.  Such a darling way to begin the season!

Danni Bindel is featuring a darling Halloween card using papers from the Halloween Meows paper pad that has been cut using the scallop-edged frame (Frames & Flags die set). She then uses the trio of pumpkin and kitty image from the Newton's Boo-tiful Night stamp and coordinating die set.  Don't you love how the paper and main image coordinate?  So cute!

Debbie Owens uses the challenge for a fun coffee-themed card. Her card features papers from the Coffee House Stories paper pad. She uses the Framework die set to give the paw print paper the postage-edging.  She pulls the card together using the little lady from the Sips & Stories stamp set who is enjoying a relaxing day with her ferry feline friend!  Super fun!

Amy Tollner features a super bright Halloween card using papers from the Halloween Meows and Halloween Woofs paper pads. She then adds those cute duo of puppies from the Happy Howl-oween stamp and coordinating die set. She adds her sentiment on a circle using the Circle Frames die set. Halloween cuteness!

Need to get inspired? See what our Inspiration Team created with this challenge! 

Amy Tollner showcases the Happy Howl-oween stamp and die set in this bright, fun card!  For her vertical element, she white heat embosses the Spooky Roundabout stamp set on a black card base. She creates a a starry backdrop on a rounded-square using the Frames Squared die set complete with black grass (Hills & Grass stencil) and crescent moon (Brooms & Boos stamp and die set). She places this atop a purple layer which makes the colors just pop! Those puppies are ready for a night of trick-or-treating!  Super cute, Amy!

Claire Lamb showcases one of the beautiful birds from the Winter Birds stamp and coordinating die set. Her vertical element is a trio of trees die cut using the Forest Scene Builder die set. She then uses the leaf dies from this same set and the stitched leaf die from the Fall Friends die set to create layers of leaves in bold, autumn colors for her sweet bird to sit among.  Claire's unique take on the sketch and CAS style makes for a stunning fall card!

Debbie Owens showcases Newton playing in a leaf pile from the Autumn Newton stamp set. Set behind him is the challenge's vertical strip with falling leaves stamped using the Fall Roundabout stamp set. Also used were the Slimline Frames & Windows die set (square panel) and the Circle Frames die set on which the sentiment was stamped.  A fun, playful card!

Diane Morales showcases the Trick or Treat Kittens stamp and die set for another spook-tacularly cute Halloween card!  Using one stencil from the Argyle stencil set in bright orange and yellows provides a playful backdrop on which she adds the black open frame (Frameworks die set). Diane uses the

Circle Frames die set for her sentiment and the Slimline Frames & Windows die set for her square on which she places the kitten.  So cute!

Sue T. treats us with another fun Halloween card. Her card features the spooky, but totally adorable, Newton from the Count Newton stamp and die set. Sue uses the Flying Bats stencil on a rounded-edge rectangle using the Frames & Flags die set. Those bats look wonderful with the horizontal striped paper behind it.  She surrounds her Count Newton with tombstones for an added touch of spookiness!  Eeek!

Inky Paws Challenge #134 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? 
Today I'm sharing some more inspiration for our current challenge! 

Here'a a refresher.




Create a project using the colors: orange, purple, yellow, and black.

Today I have some more inspiration for this Challenge! 

Sue T. creates black on black layers to showcase her spookily-cute tag.  Her second black layer has the postage-edging that adds a nice texture and was created using the large frame die from the Framework die set. Sue distresses in orange her tag which was die cute using  Fancy Edges Tag die set.  She goes back and uses the Spiderweb stencil to add a black cobweb.  There's no spider on this web! Instead, Sue adds the darling duo from the Happy Howl-oween stamp and die set. Aren't they darling in their cute costumes?  

 Becky Noelle's midnight scene with the dark purple sky and black silhouettes of trees and fence from the Forest Scene Builder and the Fence die sets make for an eerie backdrop.  She adds black hills using the Land Borders die set for her black kitties to romp. Those black kitties are from the Newton's Boo-tiful Night stamp and die set. A Halloween scene filled with spooks and sweetness!

Crystal Komara creates a vibrant background in orange and purple with lots of speckles. She uses the Slimline Frames & Windows die set to make a black window frame which she fills with some overly large letters that spell BOO!  She pulls out two of the images from the Newton's Boo-tiful Night stamp and die set and colors her pumpkins orange and purple.  The addition of the 3D bats is a spook-tacular touch to this fabulous card!

 Debbie Owens creates layers of Halloween fun!  Starting with the purple scallop-edged background using the Frames & Flags die set, she embosses using the Spiderweb stencil and embossing paste and distress ink.  She adds the scallop-edged circle die cut using the largest die from the Circle Frames die set and distresses the edge in purple. She features the Spooky Roundabout stamp set on it and colors the images in orange, yellow, and black.  She adds a black banner (Frames & Flags die set) and embosses the sentiment in white.  She stamps and colors the trio of trick-or-treaters from the Halloween Trio stamp set.  She pulls the candy images from the Candy Corn and the Halloween stamp sets and scatters them around her sweet critters.  A fun way to combine products for a layered Halloween card!

 

Diane Morales takes a simplicity approach to the challenge creating this absolutely darling Halloween card! Using the Slimline Frames & Portholes die set, she creates the black, scallop-edged card base. She creates a spooky background using the Ghosts stencil and gradients the challenge colors. She adds a black hill using the Land Borders die set and adds the Trick-or-Treat sentiment using the die from the Halloween Trio die set.  She die cuts several bat images using the same set and scatters the bats among the ghosts!  Spook-tacular!
