Inky Paws Challenge #202 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 your NND products with the theme--Summer Lovin'!

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

Danni Bindel's darling card will have you yearning for a beach adventure! Danni uses a variety of papers from the Summertime paper pad for her many layers. She die-cuts her paper selection using dies from the Circle Frames, the Frames & Flags, and Framework die sets. Her star attraction is the beach-lovin' kitten and his crab pal from the Kitten Beach stamp and coordinating die set.

Ready for some summer camping? Debbie Owens has created a secluded campsite! With shadowy mountains (Mountains stencil) in the background, Deb abstractly adds some beach front for her little camper and flamingo from the Cozy Campers stamp set. Pulling that trailer is a vintage station wagon from the Beach Bound stamp set. This scene was die cut using the stitched frame from the Frames & Flags die set. Deb pulls the sentiment from the Newton's Summer Vacation.

Need to beat the heat? Amy Tollner's card is filled with yummy summer treats! Amy uses the A7 Frames & Banners die set to create her bright, pink card base. She then adds the ice cream paper from the Summertime paper pad. Enjoying some refreshing treats are two felines from the Newton's Summer Treats stamp and coordinating die set. These little fellows have scooped up several scoops of Amy's delicious ice cream!

Claire Lamb has created a summer greenhouse filled with pretty succulents. With some creative masking, Claire uses the pots from the Bunny Hop stamp set. She then plants a variety of succulents from the Succulent Garden stamp set in her pots. Hanging out with those plants is a darling black kitty from the Newton's Hanging Basket stamp set. A fabulous way to combine sets!

Crystal Minkler's little lady is enjoying some summer flowers. Crystal uses the Frames Squared die set to create her scallop-edging using papers from the Springtime paper pad. Her green-striped grass (Land Borders die set) is just right for her lady to walk upon. This sweet lady is from the Loads of Blooms stamp and coordinating die set.

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along! Remember, you have until this Friday, July 21 2023 to enter. There's a prize involved too, so don't delay - see more inspiration on our Inky Paws Challenge here!

 Debbie Owens creates this cozy outdoorsy scene!  For her lower horizontal element, Deb creates a lake with some cattails for Winston and his pal from the Winston's Lake House stamp set to paddle about in. When they get tired, they can return to their cabin also from the Winston's Lake House stamp set with the mountains (Mountains stencil) and pine forest (Snow Globe Scenes stamp set) in the background.  

 Floating above those mountains are lots of puffy clouds (Petite Clouds stencil).  What a little piece of paradise!

Diane Morales is showcasing the newly released Trick or Treat Kittens stamp and coordinating die set. This fluffy kitten is sure to become a Halloween favorite!  She creates the postage-edge base layer using the Frameworks die set. For her sketch stripe, she creatively uses the Sky Borders die set for her scalloped stripes.  The lavender, black and splash of orange make for a darling Halloween card!

Sue T. creates this sleepy card showcasing the napping Newton from the Newton's Naptime stamp set. As her sweet kitten catches some zzz's on a pile of pastel blue blankets, stars in the background gently fall about. Those stars were created using the Cascading Stars stencil. Anyone else want to snuggle up with this little calico?  

Amy Tollner showcases the Peony Blooms stamp and coordinating die set to create this elegant card!  The combination of polka dots, stripes, and touches of gold add up to a perfect backdrop for Amy's softly colored and very beautiful peonies!  

duuuunnnn duun… duuunnnnnnnn dun...

On a bright and sunny day (Sunscape stencil), under peaceful teal waves (Sky Borders die set) awaits...

a very hungry shark (Shark Bites stamp and die set) just waiting to jump out at you!  Yep, Claire Lamb creates an interactive shark card that might have you scared to open your mail!  Thanks, Claire, for showing how to use the Inky Paws sketch to make an interactive card!

for our current challenge! 

Here'a a refresher.

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. 

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along!  Remember, you have until this Friday, April 10, 2020 to enter. There's a prize involved too, so don't delay - view all the entries and see more inspiration on our Inky Paws Challenge here!

Here'a a refresher.

Theme Challenge

Create a project using the theme--Snow Day.

Today I have some more inspiration for this Challenge:

Diane Morales has her daring kittens from the Newton's Toboggan stamp and die set sledding down a steep slope!  For her background, she uses the Argyle Stencil Set in a blue and white pattern on a Kraft base and adds some snowflakes for a nice wintery touch.  Such a light, playful card! 

Sue T. creates this darling red and white card by creating a border of red snowflakes using the Snowfall Stencil. With a red circular background, she adds the darling calico kitty from the Newton's Curious Christmas stamp and die set peeking out from the snowman with his red & white scarf! She adds the "Believe in the Magic of the Season" sentiment from the Winter Memories stamp set. She adds decorative red & white washi tapes and a splattering of red little snowflakes as her final touches. 

Becky Noelle uses the Main Street Christmas stamp and die set to make a tri-fold card!  This cleverly designed card makes you feel as if you are traveling down the streets of a quaint Christmas village. It looks like it might be a crisp, chilly morning with her clear blue sky and snowy ground. She selects a fitting sentiment from the Sentiments of the Season stamp set.

Bobbi Lemanski creates a picturesque scene from the snow covered evergreen trees to the holiday-colored camper!  She uses the Evergreens Stencil and adds layers of snow to the boughs. She then adds the vintage camper from the Cozy Campers stamp set and colors it in reds and greens. Those red & white peppermint curtains make a perfect holiday touch. She then stamps the big, bold sentiment from the Sentiments of the Season stamp set.  Wonderfully done!

 Debbie Owens captures the playfulness of a snowy day! Using the Mountains stencil, she creates some distant mountains against the blue and purple sky. She adds a couple layers of snowy hills using the Land Borders die set. She uses the Framework die set to give the edges a postage-stamp look. She then adds the trio of gray kittens from the Newton's Toboggan stamp set as well as the snow building kitty from the Newton's Curious Christmas stamp set. She stamps some snowflakes and adds sequins for some snow flurries.

Diane Morales creates a wintry haven for this trio of penguins! Using the Petite Snow stencil, Diane creates a snowy background. She then adds those big fir trees using the Evergreens stencil. Diane uses a third stencil, Mountains, to create a snowy landscape on which her softly colored penguins from the Penguin Pile stamp set can stand on. She embosses the sentiment from the Thankful Thoughts stamp set.

Have you ever seen a hand standing snowman?  Well,  Sue T. captures the inner child with her playful card that features just such a snowman!  Using the snowman from Frozen Friends stamp set, she places him upside down in a pile of snow created using the Sea Borders die set. The snowy sky was created using the Petite Snow stencil!  Such a wonderful card!

The big, wintry snowflakes make for a perfect background for Becky Noelle's festive card. Becky uses the Snowfall stencil with opal foil for her background. She adds the snowman with his forest friends from the Festive Fawns stamp set. She adds red, scalloped edging on the bottom of her panel that ties the red scarf together wonderfully!

Bobbi Lemanski  creates a 5" x 7" card that is packed with snowmen delight!  Using the Petite Snow stencil with embossing paste, she creates a wintry night sky. She then stamps the Frozen Fellowship stamp set twice to create an extra large gathering of snowy people! She colors their accessories in shades of red and green for a Christmas feel. She adds a speech bubble using the Speech Bubbles die set and adds a sentiment from the Moose Mountain stamp set for the sentiment.

Looks like this feline from Newton's Curious Christmas stamp set is helping his friend hang up his holiday stocking!  Debbie Owens creates this whimsical card by using the Petite Snow stencil for her background. She adds some birch trees using the Forest Scene Builder die set and hangs a stocking between them. The stocking was cut from the Stylish Stockings die set on which the wee little snowman from the Snow Globe Scenes stamp set was stamped. She creates some hills using the Land Borders die set and adds lots of glitter. She also adds glitter to the sentiment using the Holiday Greetings die set.
