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

Debbie Owens uses the Palm Tree Line stencil set to create a fun tropical scene complete with pink and red striped tree trunks!  She continues with the pink and red stripes by pulling strips of paper from the Love & Chocolate paper pad. She adds a pop of blue beneath the sentiment from the Summer Moments stamp set using dies from the Circle Frames die set. A fun, creative way to use the challenge colors. 

Amy Tollner's card is definitely fla-mazing!  Surrounded by those big tropical leaves created using the Tropical Leaves stencil, those cute, pink birds are from the Flamingo Oval stamp set, and they are looking marvelous. To create her many layers, Amy uses the Oval Frames and the Frames & Flags die set. Fabulously done!

Like sprinkles? Then you are going to love Claire Lamb's card!  Using the mini images in the Newton's Donut stamp, Claire creates a tasty background of donuts and sprinkles. And guess who is enjoying those treats, our very own Newton from the same set cut using the coordinating die set.  The clean and simple style of Claire's card definitely showcases this stamp set wonderfully!

Crystal Minkler brings a festive holiday card using both polka dotted and plaid papers. Such a fun combination of papers from the Christmas Time paper pad. She showcases a trio of mugs from the Cup of Cocoa stamp set with blue and pink accents. So cute!

Danni Bindel features the beach lovin' duo from the Beach Barks stamp and coordinating die set. They look so cute decked out in their beach gear!  Danni adds "bubbles" using the Bokeh stencil set. She makes a dark red frame using the Framework die set and a sentiment red circle using the  Circle Frames die set. So cool and fun!

Debbie's FAVE

Jennifer K. also used the challenge colors for a summery card. Her card features the goat from the retiring Floaty Goat stamp set enjoying a day relaxing at the pool.  The dashed-concentric circles resembled the rippling waves after splashing in a pool. So refreshing and fun!

Diane's FAVE

Diane loved Avra's ink blending on this sweet spring card. Avra used the Spring Garden Line stencil to create a garden filled with golden daffodils just perfect for the little mouse and butterfly from the Garden Mice stamp and coordinating die set to play in.  

Amy's FAVE

Amy loved how Helen F. used the Newton from the Newton's Donut stamp set to peek through the flora created using the Floral Fringe stamp set.  Helen also adds in a shaker element and an embossed panel to get her card texture and movement!  For her sentiment, she pulls one from the Lilac stamp set. Love it!

Claire's FAVE

 Claire loves the combination of plaid and flowers on Dayna A.'s darling card. Dayna creates a circle card base (inspired by our very own Diane) and partially covers it with blue and yellow plaid paper. She then adds the sprig of daisies from the Dainty Daisies stamp and coordinating die set. She sprinkles a few little yellow blooms for balance for a beautifully designed card!

Crystal's FAVE

Melanie H.'s CAS design and punny sentiment made this fabulous card Crystal's favorite.  Melanie partially and subtly distresses the background in the challenge colors, then adds a bold cactus from the Cuppa Cactus stamp set in a blue and yellow mug.  The sentiment is definitely punny and may be very appropriate for some people in our lives! 😊

Thank you for playing!

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 above sketch.

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

Debbie Owens' card gives us a sneak peek of spring with the use of the tulip paper from Springtime paper pad and the tulip-laden lady from the Loads of Blooms stamp set. She uses dies from the A7 Frames & Banners, the Framework, and the Banner Trio die sets to create the different layers.  On the banner, she stamps a sentiment from the Heartfelt Blooms stamp set and adds a butterfly from the Tulips stamp set. So fresh and pretty!

Diane Morales also brings a spring-filled card just right for wishing someone to get well soon.  She uses flowers and the jar from the retiring Lovely Blooms stamp and coordinating die set. She pulls plaid paper from the Springtime paper pad. She uses the A7 Frames & Banners die set, and uses a sentiment from the Heartfelt Essentials stamp set. So beautiful!

Amy Tollner's card will have you zipping to your local doughnut shop for a sweet treat! She makes an A7 card using the  A7 Frames & Banners die set. Then she combines the doughnut paper from the Love & Chocolate paper pad with the kitty with his overly-large treat from the Newton's Donut stamp and coordinating die set.  Don't you love how Amy adds texture to her center panel by lightly stamping sprinkles!  So yummy!

Claire Lamb's card is filled with rainbow colors!  She also creates an A7 card using the A7 Frames & Banners die set. For her center panel, she stamps pawprints and hearts in various colors. For her other panels she uses the puppy and the kitty image from the  All Booked Up stamp and coordinating die set.  Don't they look darling on their pile of books. She places her sentiment on a banner using the Banner Trio die set.  Don't you love the colorfulness!

 

Crystal O. Minkler showcases the kitty from the Newton's Mug stamp and coordinating die set.  Check out this video to see the wobble element in action! She adds a heart using the Circle Frames die set.  She coordinates everything by using papers from the Coffee House Stories paper pad.  Too cute!

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along!  Remember, you have until this Friday, March 3, 2023 to enter. There's a prize involved too, so don't delay - see more inspiration on our Inky Paws Challenge here!

Diane Morales creates tons of puffy clouds just perfect for an airplane ride!  

Using the Clouds stencil, Diane adds clouds to her navy and light blue layers. She uses the Sky Borders die set to create the horizontal stripe.  Flying amongst all those clouds is our favorite bear, Winston from the Winston Takes Flight stamp and die set. What a fabulous way to send a hello greeting to a friend!

Sue T. creates a little tropical paradise just right for a little nap!  She begins by using the Tropical Leaves stencil in shades of greens. She then stamps and die cuts hibiscus flowers to create the stripe in the sketch. Her main attraction is napping Newton from the Aloha Newton stamp and die set in his hammock between two coconut trees!  Who wouldn't want to hang out in this slice of paradise?

Ready for puppy overload?  Then you will love Amy T.'s darling card!  She begins by creating a silver embossed background using the Woof stencil. She stamps the full image from the Woof  Pack stamp set, and colors the pack of puppies in a range of fun colors!  She stamps the sentiment in teal and distresses the white layer. Her glitter silver stripe adds more shimmer to this fun-lovin' puppy card!

Claire Lamb creates a yummy card showcasing the donut-lovin' kitty from the Newton's Donut stamp and die set!  She sets the scene by repeatedly embossing the small donut image and lightly distressing in pink. She embosses the sentiment on a pale teal banner die using the Banner Trio die set. Don't you just love those pink pads on her black and white kitten?  Just too cute!

 Debbie Owens creates a delightful underwater scene.  She uses the Frames & Flags and the Framework die sets to create layers in ocean-like colors and patterns. She uses dies from the Sea Borders set to create a wavy stripe as well as creating waves in the background from acetate, vellum, and white card stock with the sentiment stamped on it.  She then showcases the images from the Purr-maid Newton stamp set enjoying the water.  A few sequins add a shimmery touch.  Magical!
