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 sketch with your NND products.

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

Crystal Minkler creates a pair of darling Valentine's cards using papers from the Love & Meows and the Love & Woofs paper pads. She then uses the images from the Newton's Heart stamp and coordinating die set and the Puppy Heart stamp and coordinating die set for the focal point on each card. To create her different scallop-edged layers she uses dies from the Frames & Flags and the Circle Frames die sets. Don't you just love the paper-pieced heart on each card? Super cute!

Danni Bindel's spectacularly colored gnome from the Gnome Garden stamp and coordinating die set is looking amazing on his little mushroom! Danni pulls papers from the Springtime paper pad that make for a spectacular spring backdrop! She uses the Frames & Flags and the Oval Frames die sets to create some layers. So cute!

Debbie Owens is showcasing not one, but two, mischievious kitties enjoying themselves with some indoor plants! These little felines are from the Naughty Newton and the Newton's Hanging Basket stamp sets. She uses the Frames & Flags die set to create her scallop-edging on papers from the Spring Blooms paper pad. How can two bad kitties look so adorable?!

Amy Tollner designs a brilliantly bright birthday card in greens and blues! She pulls the green present paper from the Birthday Party and the pawprint paper from A Cat's Life paper pads. She creates a balloon background on her banner using the Bokeh Balloons stencil set. The fabulous trio of felines are colored amazingly. These little critters are from the Newton's Birthday Trio stamp and coordinating die set. Wow!

Claire Lamb also creates an amazing birthday card featuring a trio of puppies from the Birthday Barks Stamp and coordinating die set. She adds a bright yellow confetti background using paper from the Birthday Party paper pad. The fun polka-dotted red paper is from the Meowy Christmas paper pad. So much canine cuteness on this card!

Need to get inspired? See what our Inspiration Team created with this challenge!

Crystal Minkler pulls a fabulous combination of papers from the Birthday Meows paper pad that make for a festive birthday background. She then adds the celebatory trio from the Sky High Celebrations stamp and coordinating die set who are ready to wish a special someone a happy birthday!

Danni Bindel's bright, spring-filled card is refreshing and beautiful! She pulls a trio of pretty papers from the Spring Blooms paper pad that compliment her sprig of daisies from the Dainty Daisies stamp and coordinating die set. Her scallop-edged base layer was created using the Frames & Flags die set. The overall effect is a breath of spring for all of us suffering the winter blues!

Like Crystal, Debbie Owens was inspired to create a birthday card using the IPC sketch. She selects papers from the Birthday Woofs paper pad and colors her layered cake in same colors. That trio of puppies is from the Birthday Barks stamp set. She uses a die cut speech bubble (Speech Bubblesdie set) for her sentiment and the scallop-edge frame die (Frames & Flags die set) for her base layer. Let the celebration begin!

Amy Tollner showcases a naughty kitty from the Naughty Newton stamp and coordinating die set. Her little feline has been up to mischief. The table and vase are from the Cozy Home stamp and coordinating die set, and the little mouse is from the Welcome New Cat stamp and coordinating die set. She pulls purr-fect papers from the A Cat's Life paper pad. Look closely, and your'll spy a bit of distressing using the Quatrefoil stencil. Such a clever way to showcase the mischievousness of a beloved feline!

Like Amy, Claire Lamb is showcasing a naughty kitty from the Naughty Newton stamp and coordinating die set. This little feline is playing in the bathroom with the toilet paper! (Can anyone else relate to this?) Claire creates an interesting background using the Argyle stencil set. She also uses the Sky Borders die set for her scallop black edging. Another clever way to showcase a naughty feline!
