Kristi H. fun Halloween scene caught Danni's eye.  Kristi uses papers from the Halloween Meow paper pad to create her layers.  Then showcases Newton with his trio of pumpkins from the Newton's Boo-tiful Night stamp and coordinating die set.  The little bit of fog by the grass is a fabulous touch!

Danielle's use of the positive and negative print of the Confetti Hot Foil Plate  was a fabulous way to add her diagonal stripes.  She showcases the cycling image from the Cycling Friends stamp and die set with a sentiment that includes the use of the Birthday Greetings Hot Foil Plate.

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!

Redbird uses the rainbow theme by making her firework display super colorful.  Riding through those fiery blooms (Fireworks stencil) is Newton (Newton's 4th of July stamp and coordinating die set) riding bravely on his rocket!  The coordinating envelope is a super fun touch!

Claire's FAVE

Marianne won over Claire with rainbow hearts. Marianne uses the Newton's Heart stamp and coordinating die set and uniquely colors the hearts in colors of the rainbow. Behind them she subtly adds more hearts with the Bokeh Hearts stencil set. Adding the white-embossed sentiment on black adds a nice dramatic touch!  

Crystal's FAVE

Crystal loved how Maria creates a rainbow using the Sunscape stencil. Riding through the kaleidoscope of colors is Newton with his rainbow scarf. This cute guy is from the Newton Scoots By stamp and die set. A fun way to incorporate rainbow colors into one's design!

Debbie's FAVE

Debbie loves how Moments of Crafting created a rainbow of fruity cocktails!.  These colorful drinks were created using the Cocktail Mixer stamp set. The water coloring beneath them was a fabulous way to continue the rainbow theme!

Diane's FAVE

Ingen repeatedly stamped her birthday sentiment (Birthday Roundabout stamp set) in shades of the rainbow. She then adds Newton in his rainbow-colored striped gift bag (Newton's Birthday Bash stamp set) and colorful tissue paper is a purr-fect way to send birthday greetings. Such a fun CAS design!

Ready to go surfing?  Diane Morales will inspire you to pack up and head to the beach!  She pulls the blue polka dotted paper from the Summertime paper pad for her sky and adds a big sun using the Sky Scene Builder die set. She colors her VW bus (Beach Bound stamp and die set) in the same blue and places it on the small-scalloped oval (Oval Frames die set). This is all placed on the palm tree paper (Summertime paper pad).  Just love the fresh, ocean feel of this card!

          

Newton is celebrating the 4th of July in style!  Sue T. uses the Fireworks stencil to create the firework blooms in the background. She adds Newton (Newton's 4th of July stamp and die set) with his glimmering sparklers. The patriotic paper and button add even more patriotic flare!  

Amy Tollner's card will win over a coffee-lover's heart!  Using the Coffee House Stories paper pad, Amy pulls three pattern papers that coordinate purr-fectly with Newton from the Newton Loves Coffee stamp and die set. She stamps the sentiment on a banner die cut using the Frames & Flags die set.  Anyone craving a cup of java now? 😸

Claire Lamb has Newton (Naughty Newton stamp and die set) peeling off the white 'wrapping' paper to reveal the confetti (Confetti stencil) hidden beneath! Such a fun interpretation of the sketch!  She uses the Frames Squared die set to make the scalloped panel. Then pulls the sentiment from the Zoo Party stamp set.  Just love the CAS style with that Naughty Newton!

 Debbie Owens uses the sketch to cover mini-composition notebooks.  For this mini-book, she pulls the ice cream paper from the Summertime paper pad and coordinates it with Newton enjoying a yummy Popsicle (Newton's Summer Treats stamp set).  Check out Deb's blog for more mini-books using the challenge sketch!

Here's some inspiration!

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

 Debbie Owens uses the Waves stencil to create some waves for her surfing kitty from the Newton's Perfect Wave stamp set.  Uses the the Circle Frames die to create a focal point on which she stamps the sentiment.  Her colors of lime green, orange and teal provide a nice summery touch!

Diane Morales creates an underwater scene bursting with color!  She creates her watery world with the Waves & Splashes stencil. She then stamps the bold images from the Tranquil Tides stamp in beautiful colors and cuts them out using the coordinating die set. She stamps the sentiment on a small stitched circle using the Circle Frames die set.  Spectacular!

Sue T.'s adorable card is filled with summery treats!  She uses  the ice cream cone image from the Summer Scoops stamp set to create her backdrop and die cuts using the Circle Frames die set. She softens the look by adding vellum and frames it all with a pink scallop-edged circle using the aforementioned die set.  Enjoying all that ice cream is her cream and tan kitten from the Newton's Summer Treats stamp and die set. She uses the Speech Bubbles die set to stamp her sentiment. Her color palette of creams, tans, and pinks make for a scrumptious ice cream card!

 

Amy T. sets a beautiful summer scene for her gnome to explore!  She adds birch trees atop her pastel sky using the Forest Scene Builder die set.  She then adds grassy hills using the Land Borders die set.  She pulls the gnome on his mushroom from the Gnome Garden stamp and die cuts him using the coordinating die set.  She also pulls the wheelbarrow brimming with flowers from the same set.  Amy then adds flowers, butterflies, and birds using images from the  Gnome Garden and 

the Woodland Spring stamp and die sets.  What a fabulous way to spend a summer afternoon!

• 
  

Claire Lamb also takes us under the sea, but this time there's manatees playing beneath the waves!  She creates her watery backdrop and adds sun rays filtering through the water using the Sunscape stencil. She uses the  Land Borders die set to create her sandy bottom.  Her star attractions are the duo of manatees from the Manatee-rific stamp and cut using the coordinating die set.  Don't you love how one of the sweet manatees is holding a heart?  {sigh!}

Use the theme--Summer.
