Inky Paws Challenge #205 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--Use Stripes!

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

Claire Lamb brings us this amazingly bright and fresh card!  She uses the yellow striped paper from the Springtime paper pad.  She then adds a trio of zesty lemons from the Lemon Twist stamp and coordinating die set. A refreshing way to send a positive message to a loved one!

Crystal Minkler is getting us ready for Halloween with this amazing card!  She showcases the little, tiny spider from the Spiderweb Oval stamp set which she frames with a black-scalloped frame using the Oval Frames die set.  She adds diagonal stripes using papers from the Halloween Meows paper pad. She also uses the banner die from the Frames & Flags die set for her banner. So spookily cute!

Danni Bindel shares this cute little gem filled with stripes and hearts!  She features several papers from the Love & Meows paper pad which she cuts using dies from the Frames & Flags die set and the Heart Frames die set. Sitting there as cute as can be is the cutest spotted feline from the Newton's Heart stamp set. A purr-fect way to send some loving wishes!

Debbie Owens is gearing up for pumpkin-spice lattes with this fun card.  She pulls papers from the Autumn paper pad to create her stripes and then uses the postage-stamp die from the Framework die set.  She adds the latte-lovin' lady from the Pumpkin Latte stamp set and places her on a piece of burlap with a bit of twine.  Her sentiment utilizes the newly released Autumn Greetings Hot Foil Plates.  A beautiful way to ring in the P.S. season!

Amy Tollner chooses to create vertical stripes with a birthday theme.  Those fun stripes are from the Birthday Woofs paper pad die cut using the postage-edge frame from the Framework die set.  To continue the vertical lines of her card, Amy chooses those trio of puppies from the Birthday Barks stamp and the coordinating die set.  Anyone else in love with these fellows?  So cute!!

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along!  Remember, you have until this Friday, September 1,  2023 to enter. There's a prize involved too, so don't delay - see more inspiration on our Inky Paws Challenge here!

She adds the sentiment on a banner (Slimline Frames & Banners die set). Super fun!

Diane Morales creates the cutest round card filled with ocean delights!  She uses the Sunscape stencil to create her rays of sunshine.  Then she uses the Sea Borders die set to create her layers of ocean waves. She then uses the Shark Bites stamp set to add some white to her waves. Enjoying those waves and rays are a pair of seagulls from the Gull Friends stamp and coordinating die set. Diane finds a fabulous sentiment in the Beach Bound stamp set that works perfectly!

Amy Tollner's card is also filled with a sunny sky.  She adds a bunch of little clouds using the Petite Clouds stencil. She adds green grass using the Land Borders die set and the sun from the Sky Scene Builder die set.  Enjoying this sunny day are the little ducks and the kitty from the Newton's Rain Boots stamp and coordinating  die set. Amy adds some fluttering butterflies from the Newton's Birdbath stamp and coordinating die set.  Amy also uses the A7 Frames & Banners die set to create the scallop-edging!  so cute!!

Claire Lamb designs this darling floral card!  She pulls the yellow gingham paper from the Spring Blooms paper pad and pairs it with the Spring Blooms Oval stamp set. Her beautiful flowers look so pretty with the white scallop edging (Oval Frames die set). Such a pretty, fresh take on the challenge colors!

Crystal Minkler's card is so cute with the plaid background (Plaid stencil set) and the tall stack of books!  This cute feline is from the All Booked Up stamp and coordinating die set.  Crystal uses the frame die from the Frames & Flags die set to create the scallop edging.  What a great card for someone having a ruff day!

Claire Lamb creates this darling mini-slimline card using lots of masking to keep it one layer. 

For all those amazing balloons, she uses the balloons from the Holding Happiness stamp set and ties them to the tail of the cute dachshund from the Delightful Doxies stamp set. Doesn't he look so cute floating among the fluffy clouds (Clouds stencil)?

 Debbie Owens creates a beautiful beach scene inside an oval which she created using the Oval Frame die set. She combines the Sunscape stencil and the Hills & Grass stencil for her background and adds the beautiful lady from the Summer Moments stamp set wading into the ocean.  Lovely!

Diane Morales adds so much texture to her one layer card using some texture paste and the Basketweave stencil. She leaves the center open by using the Circle Frames die set to create a mask.

Inside is a bright, yellow lemon from the Lemon Twist stamp set. Doesn't this look so refreshing?

Sue T. uses scoring lines to give her beautiful card more depth. She stamps the floral image from the Blooming Botanicals stamp set on the top and bottom of her card, and shades them in beautiful cool colors.  She pulls a sentiment from the \Birthday Essentials stamp set inside her scored lines. The added jewels add a bit of glam to this amazing card!

Amy Tollner creates this stunning slimline card by inking around the scallop-edged frame die from the Slimline Frames & Portholes die set. She then uses the Slimline Masking Circles & Squares stencil set to distress the trio of boxes with pretty pastel colors. She adds the delicate butterflies from the Beautiful Wings stamp set. What an amazing way to create the illusion of layers!

She adds her green truck from the Farming Fun stamp set and die set carrying an overly large latte from the Time for Coffee stamp set.  The sentiment works amazing with the truck and coffee cup!

Behind him are matching mini-cupcakes created using the Cupcake stencil. She uses the Frames & Flags die set to create the scallop-edging. So much cupcake cuteness!
