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 colors Amethyst Purple, Fuchsia Pink, Sky Blue, and Sand Brown.

The IPC team had lots of ideas using these fun colors, so sit back and enjoy!

Danni Bindel showcases the challenge colors by using a combination of papers from the Pastel Basics paper pad. She uses several dies to create all those lovely layers: Framework and Basic Frames die sets. She adds a sprig of daisies from the Floral Delights stamp and coordinating die set and an inspiring sentiment to finish her lovely card.

Debbie Owens is ready to head to the beach in flip-flops. Deb uses the Flip-Flop Life stamp set to create her background. She then paints the center panel and uses the octagonal die from the Basic Frames die set. A fun summery card!

Amy Tollner was inspired to create a darling birthday card using the IPC colors. She pulls polka dotted paper from the Brights Basic paper pad. She die cuts it using the scallop-edged frame from the Frames & Flags die set. She then adds an oval scalloped layer using the Oval Frames die set. Amy wonderfully features the Birthday Oval stamp set with the little mouse from the Birthday Mice stamp and coordinatingdie set flying above. Such cute birthday wishes!

Claire Lamb goes with a coffee-themed card brimming with caffeinated goodness. She creates a zig-zab panel using the Frames & Tags die set and places a Kraft stitched panel (Basic Frames die set) stamped with lots of coffee mugs using the Heartfelt Coffee stamp set. She cuts a heart shape out of the panel using the Heart Frames die set, and then a white heart behind with all those colored coffee mugs that aligned perfectly with the top panel. She adds a thin banner (A7 Frames & Banners die set for the banner) with the sentiment! A perk-fully brewed card!

Crystal Minkler creates this tranquil scene featuring the vintage truck from the Spring Haul stamp and coordinating die set. She uses the scallop-edged die to create her panel (Frames & Flags die set), and the Hills & Grass stencil to create her hill landscape. She finds a wonderful sentiment from the Dainty Daisies stamp set for sentiment. Such a beautiful way to send a special message!

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along!  Remember, you have until this Friday, July19,  2024 to enter. There's a prize involved too, so don't delay - see more inspiration on our Inky Paws Challenge here.

Amy Tollner's pastel Easter card is just too cute!  With a pastel blended background, Amy adds shimmer using the Basketweave stencil and texture paste.  She then creates a cloudy sky using the Clouds stencil which is die cut using the scalloped frame from the Circle Frames die set and adds grass using the Hills & Grass stencil.

Then she uses the Confetti stencil to add texture and shimmer.  She pops on some little clouds and adds the kitten with his colorful balloons from the Newton's Birthday Balloons stamp and die set.  She adds a black and white diagonal banner and a white one with the sentiment.  So much cuteness!

She then distresses the coffee mugs from the Mugs stencil on a darker purple before die cutting using the large circle die from the Circle Frames die set. She stamps the sentiment from the Love Cafe stamp set on a banner die cut using the banner die from the Frames & Flags die set.

Here'a a refresher.

Create a project using the challenge sketch:

Today I have some more inspiration for this Challenge:

Crystal Komara creates this bright, cheerful card just in time for Easter. Using pink, yellows, and greens, she layers elements. Her central element is the sweet bunny from the Hop Into Spring stamp and die set playing in the green grass made using the Hills & Grass stencil. So clean and sweet!

 Debbie Owens delights with this pair of pink flamingos from the Flirty Flamingos stamp set. She pairs them with flamingo pattern paper and die cuts using the scallop-edged die from the Framework die set. She cuts her circular element out of vellum and heat embosses palm trees from the Paradise Palms stamp set in white.  A banner of burlap wrapped in twine and a splattering of sequins finishes her card. 

Diane Morales also features another bunny from the Hop Into Spring stamp and die set . This little fellow is holding a brightly died Easter egg and sits atop a big egg distressed with a pink pattern using  the Mountains stencil.  This is all set atop blue grass from the Land Borders die set and a white scalloped layer using the Framework die set. The Plaid stencil set was used to create the black and white background that adds a wonderful element!

Rejoice in spring is a perfect sentiment for Sue T.'s beautiful card.  Sue stamps and colors several floral images from the Easter Lily stamp set. She grounds her beautiful flowers with yellow and green pattern papers. A beautiful card to celebrate spring!

 Becky Noelle also showcases the  Easter Lily stamp set. She creates a textured white background using the Tropical Leaves stencil and adds a burlap banner.  The elegant flowers paired with the burlap make for a lovely combination.
