Our Inky Paws Challenge Inspiration team has chosen a few of their favorite challenge entries from this challenge! If you see your card below, contact us if you'd like to get a "favorite" badge for your blog!

Crystal's FAVE

Crystal loved the hot chocolate theme of Angy Hughes card with the bright colors and patterns of her papers!  Those fun mugs of steaming hot chocolate are from the Cup of Cocoa stamp set.  The overall card is simply scrumptious!

Danni's FAVE

Danni loved how Arlene added the die cut books (Bookmark  II die set) for the square sketch element.  Her orange card base coordinates wonderfully with the papers from the A Cat's Life paper pad. The star attraction is the bookmark with the puppy image from the All Booked Up stamp set. So, so cute!

Debbie's FAVE

Debbie loved the patterns and monochromatic color scheme of Christy's fabulous card!  To create her many patterns, Christy uses the Quatrefoil stencil, the Trailing Leaves stencil, and papers from the Pastel Basics paper pad.  Enjoying all the green is Newton from the Newton's Hanging Basket stamp and coordinating die set.  Super cute!

Amy's FAVE

 Jennifer K.'s darling card won over Amy with the reading and coffee theme. Add in a puppy and a kitten and you have an amazing card!  Jennifer used Puppy's Reading List stamp set, Coffee Shop paper pad, and Coffee Silhouettes die set.  Fabulously done!

Claire's FAVE

Claire loved Reading Newton on Jenn Borjeson's sweet card!  This little fellow is from the Newton's Book Club stamp set. She uses a wonderful assortment of feline papers, and the little newspaper is such a fun touch!  Nicely done!

The IPC team has come up with lots of ideas showcasing these amazing colors. Check then out below:

Newton's Hanging Basket stamp and coordinating die. A cute and fun way to use the IPC colors!

Debbie Owens uses the colors with an autumn twist! She uses the Pumpkin Patch stencil to create her raspberry to orange background. She adds the pumpkin-laden lady from the Pumpkin Latte stamp set.  Anyone else ready for pumpkin-spice season?

Amy Tollner was inspired to create a fluttery, summer card using the Butterflies stencil set with the scallop-edged die from the Frames and Flags die set. She adds a vellum oval using the Oval Frames die set with the duo from the Newton's Blooms Stamp and die set playing in the flower pot!  Purr-fect day, indeed!

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

Crystal Minkler is beach bound in her red VW Bug! She showcases this cute card from the Beach Bound stamp and coordinating die set and creates a tropical scene with fun papers from the Summertime paper pad. She uses the A2 Card Layout Die Set to create the frame. So much summer cuteness!

Danni uses papers from the Summertime paper pad with dies from the Sea Borders and the Sky Scene Builder die sets to create the sky and layers of waves. She adds postage-edging from the Framework die set. Anyone else want to join Newton on his lazy river adventure?

Debbie Owens showcases the tiny crab from the Tides of Love stamp set who is enjoying a day of collecting seashells. Deb uses the Frames & Tags Die Set to create her layout, and she uses the Seashells Stencil to create those pretty seashells. She pulls a sentiment from the Summer Moments stamp set. Such a fun way to showcase this little guy!

Amy Tollner showcases a trio of beach-bound vehicles from the Beach Bound stamp and coordinating die set. She showcases them on palm tree paper from the Summertime paper pad. She uses dies from the Frames & Tags Die Set to create her layout. Which vehicle would you choose to go to the beach?

Claire Lamb showcases Newton's pretty hanging basket filled with summer leaves. Her beautiful distressing compliments Newton and his basket from the Newton's Hanging Basket stamp and coordinating die set. She uses the Basic Frames die set to create the stitching on her panel. Hope your hanging baskets looks as good as Claire's!

Crystal Minkler's card shows the craziness of spring weather! She creates her cloudy sky using the Sky Scene Builder and Sky Borders die sets. She pulls paper from the A Cat's Life paper pad to create the sky and grass using Land Borders die set. Enjoying those spring winds is a little kitty from the Newton's Umbrella stamp and coordinating die set. Super cute!

Danni Bindel utilizes the A2 Card Layout die to create the outline on her card. She continues by adding the yellow floral and the green gingham papers from the Spring Blooms paper pad with a cloudy sky in the center. She showcases the playful kitty from the Newton's Flower Garden stamp set and Coordinating die set.  So sweet!

Debbie Owens utilizes papers from the Pastel Basics paper pad to create her background for the adventurous feline from the Newton's Hanging Basket stamp set.  She used the Basic Frames die set for the blue striped banner. The contrast of stripes and polka dots make for a fun, playful card!

Amy Tollner uses the Clouds and the Hills and Grass stencils to create her peaceful background scene which she die cuts using the zigzag frame die from the Frames and Tags die set. Enjoying this serene scene are little blue birds from the Birdhouse Greetings and coordinating die set.

Claire Lamb distresses a soft, pretty background for her playful feline.  She uses the Basic Frames die set to add a unique take on her background, and that little feline "terrorizing" the birds is from the Newton's Birdbath stamp and coordinating die set.

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.
