Crystal's FAVE

Jill M.'s background is so festive and goes fabulously with her taco-lovin' cats from the Newton Loves Tacos stamp and coordinating die set.  Such a fun way to send birthday greetings!

Debbie's FAVE

Kristi H. creates a great background using the challenge colors.  The dark gray grass and yellow sunshine create a nice setting for her kitty from the Newton's Birdbath stamp and coordinating die set to enjoy some bird watching!  The heart paper (Love & Meows paper pad) provides a nice romantic touch!

Diane's FAVE

Jennifer K. combines clouds and coffee for this super cute card.  With a bit of fussy cutting, Jennifer adds lots of mugs (Love Cafe stamp set) of caffeinated joy!  The sentiment works wonderfully with the heart paper and hearts on the mugs!  

Amy's FAVE

Christy creates this darling 3D card!  For her card front, Christy uses the Plaid stencil set and cuts an oval using the Oval Frames die set.  Inside, she pulls the gray pawprint paper from the Love & Meows paper pad, and her sweet kitty from the Newton's Valentine stamp and coordinating die set is looking so cute with his big red heart!  She stamps the birthday sentiment on a banner using the Banner Trio die set.

Claire's FAVE

Karen G. uses not one, not two, but all four mice from the Garden Mice stamp and coordinating die set!  Don't they look so cute with their treasures from nature! The sentiment on black adds a nice dramatic touch to this sweetly designed card!

Here'a a refresher.

Create a project using the challenge sketch.

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

Claire Lamb has her kitten making snow angels on a snowy day! With a pretty snowy sky and hills of snow made using the Land Borders die set, Claire adds a rainbow scarf and coordinating hat to her kitten from the Snow Angel Newton stamp and die set.  She adds banners using the Frames & Flags die set. A darling way to spend a day!  

Debbie Owens' card has Newton aiming for twinkling stars. She creates her starry sky using the Starfield stencil and gold foil. She continues the gold theme by die cutting a gold frame using the Framework die set.  Flying across the sky is Newton from the Newton's 4th of July stamp set. A fun sentiment from the Cosmic Newton stamp completes her fun card!

Diane Morales creates a fun Valentine's card just perfect for a little (or not so little) boy! She uses the Tumbling Hearts stencil to create her background of hearts. Then uses the  Circle Frames and the Frames & Flags die sets to create the black banner and circle frame.  She features the backhoe and safety cone images from the Love Quarry stamp and die set. A darling interpretation of the sketch!

Sue T.'s card is just so pretty with all the pink!  She uses the Tumbling Hearts stencil for her center panel and adds the playful kitty from the Newton's Valentine stamp and die set. The polka-dotted heart is so cute!  To complete her card, Sue uses the Frames & Flags die set for her white panel layer and her pink banners. She uses a die from the  Speech Bubble die for her sentiment. So Valentine-y!

Amy Tollner gives us a beautiful snowflake card in blues and silver! She uses silver glitter paper for her banners (die cut using the Frames & Flags die set) and background layer. Using the Beautiful Blizzard stamp set, she heat embosses the fragile snowflakes in white and distresses the background in shades of blue.  She heat embosses the sentiment on a little banner using the Banner Trio die set. Such a beautiful, sparkly card!

Inky Paws Challenge #140 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'a a refresher.

Create a project using the colors--

Teal, Red, Pink, and White

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

Claire Lamb uses the Frames Squared die set to created a square card filled with cuteness. From the red and white polka dotted paper to her sweetly colored critters from the Porch Swing Friends stamp set, her card is a fabulous way to send a hello greeting to a friend or family member!

 Debbie Owens combines several die sets to for her card. She starts with the Frames & Windows die set for her teal background, adds several hearts using the Darling Hearts die set. Little banners using the Banners Trio die set are used to stamp sentiments from the Birthday Essentials stamp set.  She uses the Waves stencil for teal waves in which her lovely shrimp from the Shrimp Cocktails stamp set are enjoying a nice cherry martini!  She adds a little heart image from the Happy Little Thoughts stamp set. Cheers!

Diane Morales stripes in the challenge colors look amazing especially with the hearts from the Tumbling Hearts stencil and die cut using the scallop-edged die from the Frames & Flags die set.  She adds the rose image from the Roses stamp and die set.  She leaves the roses white, which contrasts wonderfully against the backdrop!  The sentiment was stamped a banner die cut using the banner from the Banner Trio die set.  Spectacularly done!

Sue T. colors the flowers in the Floral Roundabout stamp set in the challenge colors, and they look amazing!  She then uses the Darling Hearts die set to cut out the center. She die cuts the word love from the Darling Hearts die set and creatively stamps words from the Floral Fringe stamp set to customize her sentiment. She uses the Frames Squared die set to create the square frame and scalloped layer.  A beautiful way to show a loved one you care!

Amy Tollner uses the Tumbling Hearts stencil in teal and die cuts using the postage-edged die from the Framework die set. She adds a vellum layer to soften the background. She adds banners using the Frames & Flags die set. Don't you just love the glittery red?  The sweet white kitty from the Newton's Valentine stamp and die set steals the show playing with the pastel pink heart.  The red birdie is a perfect added pop of color!  Who wouldn't want to be this kitty's Valentine?
