Claire's spring card features Newton's Umbrella, Hexagon Frames, and Spring Blooms by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #springcards, #cardchallenge, #cardmakingideas, #cardmaking, #catcards

Claire Lamb creates a darling sky using the cloudy sky paper from the Spring Blooms paper pad cut using dies from the Hexagon Frames die set. Her black kitty from the Newton's Umbrella stamps and coordinating die set is enjoying his ride among the clouds with his bright yellow umbrella. Such a clever and fun card!

Crystal Minkler utilizes the Petite Clouds and the Hills & Grass stencil sets to create her beautiful spring day on a stitched panel (Basic Frames die set). She adds her lavender flowers from the Dainty Daisies stamp and coordinating die set. Her card has been yearning for green grass and fresh blooms!

Danni Bindel also brings us beautiful lavender flowers! Her gorgeous flowers are from the Floral Delights stamp and coordinating die set. She sets them a top a bright background created using the Frames & Tags die set and polka dotted papers from the Pastel Basics paper pad. The addition of the two butterflies is a wonderful finishing touch!

Debbie Owens uses the newly released Hyacinth stamp set on her trio of panels created using the A7 Frames & Banners die set. She places her floral panels on a stenciled background created using the Quatrefoill stencil. She stamps her sentiment on a hexagonal panel and frames it with a scalloped hexagon using the Hexagon Frames die set. Such a pretty way to showcase this new stamp set

Amy Tollner use so of yellow and green creates such a fresh and brilliant spring card! She creates her square-shaped card and panels using the Frames Squared die set. Those pretty designer papers come from the Spring Blooms paper pad. Don't you love the hexagonal panel (Hexagon Frames die set)? Her star attraction is the lovely lady from the Loads of Blooms stamp and coordinating die set. Amy finishes with a sentiment from the Spring Roundabout stamp set on a green banner). Fresh and delightful!

Inky Paws Challenge #229 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 challenge theme birthday with your NND products.

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

Amy Tollner's card showcases a perfect blend for a birthday card! She uses the caffeine-lovin' feline from the Newton Loves Coffee stamp and coordinating die set with papers from the Coffee House Stories paper pad. She uses the A2 Card Layout die set to create her layout. Super cute!

Claire Lamb uses the trio of puppies from the Birthday Barks stamp set atop a beautifully distressed stripe. Look closely, you spy some birthday balloons on her stripe made using the Bokeh Balloons stencil set. Raise the roof, indeed!

Crystal Minkler has pulled a slew of NND products for this farm-filled birthday card! On the front, Crystal uses papers from the Farmyard paper pad with several sets of die for her many layers: Frames & Flags, Basic Frames die set, and Circle Frames. She adds the hard-working farmer from the Farmer Newton stamp and coordinating die set who has filled his pick-up truck from the Harvest Haul stamp and coordinating die set with his harvest produce. If that wasn't enough cuteness, Crystal adds a trio of hens from the Cluck stamp and coordinating die set with a funny pun! Super adorable!

Danni Bindel brings on some brightness with this brilliant birthday card! She uses papers from the Bright Basics paper pad with dies from the Frames & Flags die set and the Hexagon Frames dies for her different layers. Adding to the festivities is the trio of kitties from the Newton's Bright Birthday stamp and coordinating die set. The overall effect is bold and bright birthday wishes!

Debbie Owens uses soft colors for her birthday card. She adds the honey-comb heart from the Heartfelt Honey stamp set with a bit of distressing for her background. She then adds the very brave kitty from the Beekeeper Newton stamp set with his honey bee keeper. The punny sentiment is a perfect finishing touch!

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along! Remember, you have until this Friday, August 16, 2024 to enter. There's a prize involved too, so don't delay - see more inspiration on our Inky Paws Challenge here.
