Inky Paws Challenge #237 Week 1

 

 Welcome to Inky Paws'  

February Challenge!

For the month of February 

we have a fabulous sketch to play with!

You have four weeks to get creative with this fun, layered sketch and your NND Products!

You have from Monday, February 3, 2025 to Friday, February 28, 2025 (Midnight, CST) to play along. Each DT member will pick a favorite project to showcase, AND one RANDOM entry will win a $20 store credit to Newton's Nook Design online shop!  The winners will be announced on the NND blog the following Monday.  Make sure you check the challenge rules page before you link up your project. 

Here's some inspiration.  

This sketch has so many fun layers just perfect for using stencils or patterened paper.  Plus it can be used for any occasion!  What are you in the mood to create--coffee-themed cards or maybe a romantic Valentine's card?  Stuck?  Let's check out the IPC team for some ideas:

Claire Lamb creates this coffee-themed Valentine uses papers from the Coffee Shop paper pad with the coffee mug image and sentiment from the Love Cafe stamp and coordinating die set. She places her mugs on a fancy square using the Frames Squared die set. All the brown with a touch of pink and red looks amazing!

Crystal Minkler is getting an early start on her St. Patrick's Day cards, and this one is filled with green!  She uses papers different patterned green papers from the Bright Basics paper pad.  She then creates a vellum oval using the Oval Frames die set. She places the puppy from the Lucky Dog stamp and coordinating die set atop the oval.  Doesn't this little fellow look amazing in his top hat?  Crystal also uses dies form the Frames & Flags die set to create her banners.  Wonderfully done!

Danni Bindel goes all yellow with this darling baby card!  She uses different pattern yellow papers from the Pastel Basics paper pad to create her layers. She also uses the Frames & Flags die set to create her scallop edging and little banner.  In the middle of all the yellow is a little onsie with a little ducky on it!  So sweet!  This little onsie is from the Loveable Laundry stamp set.  Cuteness overload!

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

Here's a refresher.


Use the challenge colors--Pink, Teal, Ice Blue, Cookie Dough Brown with your NND products.


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

Espresso your love by Claire features Coffee Silhouettes, Heart Frames, and Love Cafe by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #coffeelovers, #coffeecards, #valentinescards, #lovecards, #cardmaking, #cardchallenge

Claire Lamb creates a card filled with coffee mug happiness! She uses the Coffee Silhouettes die set to create all those coffee cups and mugs. For her sentiment, she creates a Kraft heart using the Heart Frames die set and stamps a sentiment from the Love Cafe stamp set. What a fun card to espresso one's creativity!




Crystal Minkler's card showcases the delightful image from the Newton's Birthday Delights stamp and coordinating die set. Crystal then pulls papers from the Love & Chocolate paper pad. She uses the Frames & Flags die set on the brown striped paper. She adds the pink and teal heart papers for a super playful card!



Anyone else in need of some spring flowers? Danni Bindel's card is blooming with some pink and teal ones! She uses the Newton's Blooms stamp and coordinating die set to create her central element. She frames her sweet feline with papers from the Love & Chocolate paper pad and die cut using the Framework die set. So fresh and beautiful!


Birthday brew for you by Debbie features Oink, Heartfelt Coffee, Frames Squared, Birthday Meows, and Newton's Birthday Bash by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #pigcards, #coffeelovers, #coffeecards, #birthdaycards, #cardmaking, #cardchallenge
Debbie Owens features a litttle piglet from the Oink stamp set. This little fellow is enjoying some Java Joe for his birthday treat! Those little mugs were fussy cut from the Heartfelt Coffee stamp set. Using the Frames Squared die set, Deb makes a square card base. She adds the pink confetti paper from the Birthday Meows paper pad. A few teal confetti and birthday hat (Newton's Birthday Bash stamp set) add to the birthday theme!



Amy Tollner was also inspired to make a square card using the Frames Squared die set. She goes with a puppy theme using the Puppy's Reading List stamp and coordinating die set and the Petite Paw Prints stencil. Anyone else want to partner read with this sweet-little canine?
