Diane's FAVE

Dawn H. creatively uses the challenge colors with a coffee theme! She stamps the coffee beans from the Love Cafe stamp set for a colorful background. She adds a layered banner and adds the coffee mugs from same set and die cuts using the coordinating die set. Caffeinated cuteness!

Sue's FAVE

Papierelle utilizes some fabulous masking to create this amazing one-layer card showcasing the playful kitten from the Captivated Kittens stamp set. Kitten cuteness!

Amy's FAVE

Dandi93's 3-D card is filled with loads of peeps, and we just love it!  Using the kitten from the Newton's Peeps stamp and coordinating die set, Dandi adds a clutch of peeps milling about. For even more cuteness, she adds a bunny from the retiring Hoppy Halloween stamp set!  

Claire's FAVE

Kristi uses the challenge colors to create this tropical paradise! She uses the Retro Sun & Palms stencil set to create the central element and pulls a sentiment from the Whispering Pines stamp set. She places this atop a fringed card base which makes a fabulous textured element!  

Debbie's FAVE

Arlene R. creates a delightful scene inside a shaded circle, which reminds me of a dandelion bloom! She combines the little duck from the Newton's Rain Boots stamp set with the little, tulip-climbing mouse from the Garden Mice stamp set. The sentiment she uses will definitely bring a smile to your face!

Inky Paws Challenge #153 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'a a refresher.

Create a project using this fabulous sketch!

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

Sue T. showcases the Newton's 4th of July stamp and coordinating die set in a fun, unique way.  She uses this set as a way to celebrate someone's birthday. Using pastel colors and the Fireworks stencil, Sue creates a soft, festive background in pinks, oranges, and green.  She continues those colors on Newton with his sparklers!  So cute!  She uses the Frames & Flags die set for her embossed background and the Fancy Edges Tag die set for her banner!  Thanks, Sue for showing how to stretch our stamps!

Amy Tollner's card will have you planning your next BBQ!  She creates a picnic table background using the Hardwood stencil. She then mimics a table cloth using the Gingham stencil and die cutting with the smaller square die from Frames Squared die set.  She stamps the image from the BBQ Roundabout stamp set on red and die cuts the "plate" using the scallop-edged circle from the Circle Frames die set.  He star of the picnic is the scrumptious hamburger from the Buns Out stamp and coordinating die set. Doesn't he look stunning in his shades?  Using the banner die from the Frames & Flags die set, Amy creates her banner and stamps the sentiment.  A perfect picnic!

Claire Lamb packs her Halloween card with tons of fun using only one stamp set! 

 Using the Hoppy Halloween stamp set, Claire stamps the little candy images repeatedly on her base.  This is a fabulous way to utilize those small images and make your own pattern paper!  She then stamps one of the sweet bunny images from same stamp set and cuts with the coordinating die.  Don't you love the way she colored her bunny!  To finish, she white embosses the sentiment on her black banner! 

 Debbie Owens takes us to the beach filled with seashells!  She begins by using the Seashells stencil. She adds her next layers using dies from the Frames Squared die set and the Frames & Flags die set.  For more beach fun, she stamps the image from the Seashell Roundabout stamp set and die cut using the scallop-edged die from the Circle Frames die set.  Enjoying all the seashells is Newton from the Newton's Seashell stamp.  She adds an extra banner with the sentiment.  Deb's color palette is beautiful and gives her card a very beachy feel!

Diane Morales' card is sure to brighten your day with a smile and a giggle!  Her square card base uses the large die from the Frames Squared die set. On her base, she adds bright blue waves using the Wave stencil. She adds her vertical banner using a die from the Frames & Flags die set.  For her center elements, Diane pulls out the Sky Scene Builder die set to add the sun and clouds.  She pulls it altogether with the hamburger image from the Buns Out stamp and coordinating die set. So much cuteness!

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along!  Remember, you have until this Friday, July 30, 2021 to enter. There's a prize involved too, so don't delay!  See more inspiration on our Inky Paws Challenge here!
