Danni Bindel's gingham background (Spring Blooms paper pad) works so well with the newly released kitty from the Newton's Lucky Clover stamp and coordinating die set. For an added touch of spring, she  adds a tulilp frame using the Frames Squared die set.  Her sentiment is on a stitched oval frame using the Oval Frames die set. Such a spring-filled holiday card!

Debbie Owens creates a sweet, lucky card using polka-dotted paper from the A Cat's Life paper pad and die cut using the Frames & Flags die set. She distresses a cloudy background using the Clouds stencil and adds some hills using the Land Borders die set. Enjoying the spirng day is one of the mice from the Birthday Mice stamp set. Deb creates a custom clover balloon using dies from the Candy Heart and the Balloon Shaker die sets. She pulls a sentiment from the Heartfelt Essentials stamp set. For a pop of color, Deb adds some pink flowers using the Newton Blooms stamp set!

Amy Tollner creates a fabulous shimmery, starry background using the Starfield stencil. Her background is just wonderful for her lucky kitty from the Newton's Pot of Gold stamp set. She white embosses her holiday sentiment on a green banner using the Banner Trio die set. For her scallop-edged frame, Amy uses the Frames & Flags die set. Such a festive St. Patty's Day card!

Claire Lamb shows her creative flare using the Heart Frames die set to create four-leaf clovers! She uses green patterned paper from the A Cat's Life (polka dotted), the Spring Blooms (plaid), the Meowy Christmas (stripes), and the Spring Blooms (gingham) paper pads. She stamps the sentiment (Newton's Hanging Basket) on a little banner (A7 Frames and Banners die set). Such a clever way to create a St. Patty's card!

Crystal Minkler showcases the newly release kitty from the Newton's Lucky Clover stamp and coordinating die set. Doesn't he look amazing with the green bokeh background using the Bokeh Stencil set? The postage-edging was created using the frame die from the Framework die set. The clovers are a fabulous touch!

latest Inky Paws Challenge!

  

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

Here's a refresher:

Use your NND products with the theme--Birthday!

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

Crystal O. Minkler creates a spectacular background in analogous colors using the Mugs stencil. She continues her use of greens and yellows with the latte cup that Newton is holding (Newton Loves Coffee stamp set).  Crystal uses the Circle Frames dies set and the Frames & Flags die set for her card design.  The fabulous colors and design makes this an amazing birthday card!

Debbie Owens features the little gnome (Garden Gnomes stamp set) on his big mushroom surrounded by more mushrooms from the Fabulous Fungus stamp set. She places them on a lightly distressed background and stamps the super fun sentiment.  The extra bit of jute adds a nice rustic touch!

Diane Morales creates this delicious masterpiece filled with yummy cupcakes.  On an oval-shaped base (Oval Frames die set), Diane uses the Cupcakes stencil set to create the pink and tan cupcakes.  The front and center is Newton with his paws in the frosting (Newton's Cupcake stamp and coordinating die set). Doesn't he look so sweet and innocent enjoying his birthday treat?  

Amy Tollner creates this beautiful heart-shaped card using the Heart Frames die set.  She pairs it with the floral heart image from the Heartfelt Blooms stamp set.  Her beautiful and bright flowers are filled with the promise of spring.  For her sentiment, she adds a dimensional banner using a die from the Banner Trio die set. Until May flowers bloom, you can enjoy Amy's pretty ones!

Claire Lamb is also featuring the little gnome from the Gnome Garden stamp and coordinating die set. For her card, she places him in a window card (Oval Frames die set) filled with lots of mushrooms from the Fabulous Fungus stamp and coordinating die set.  Her bright colors are a nice contrast to Deb's more rustic ones.  Fabulous fungus, indeed!

Claire Lamb uses the little heart die (a lot) from the Heart Frames die set to create this rainbow card filled with hearts!  For her sentiment, she uses white embossing on black to make it look fabulous!  The sentiment is from the Thankful Thoughts stamp set. 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. She adds the pink striped paper from the Love & Chocolate paper pad, and those strawberries are from the Love & Chocolate stamp and die set.  Yum!

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!

Claire Lamb creates the cutest Valentine's card using the Newton's Naptime stamp and die set. She creates a mile-high stack of blankets in shades of pinks and reds for her little princess kitty to sleep upon. She adds a red heart (Heart Frames die set) as well as the sentiment on a thought bubble (Speech Bubbles die set). Such a creative way to utilize this stamp set!

Debbie Owens showcases two darling robots from the Love Bots stamp set. She pairs them with designer papers from the Love & Meows paper pad. To create all her layers she uses several die sets. They include: Heart Frames die set, Framework die set, Frames & Flags die set, and the A7 Frames & Banners die set. A darling Valentine's card!

Diane Morales also uses the sweet robots from the Love Bots stamp and die set, but with a caffeinated twist. She adds a latte cup from the Pumpkin Latte stamp and die set for her boy bot to give to his girlfriend! She continues the coffee twist by pulling the sentiment from the Love Cafe stamp set. She uses two die sets. The Circle Frames die set is used for the card shape, and the Land Borders die set is utilized for the grass. Just love the coffee twist!

Amy Tollner is also inspired to use the Love Bots stamp and die set. She, though, pulls the kitty and dog bot images for her Valentine's card who are looking so cute on the red heart (Heart Frames die set). She creates a custom background by stamping the candy heart image (Candy Heart stamp set) repeatedly. She uses two additional die sets. For the postage-edging, she uses the Framework die set. For the little banner, she uses the A7 Frames & Banners die set. So cute!
