 Debbie Owens starts the celebration with this delightful slimline card created using the Slimline Frames & Windows die set.

She stamps the sentiment on the little banner from the A7 Frames & Banners die set.

Diane Morales takes us under the sea with this a-meow-zing card!  She creates the watery background using the Waves stencil and adds a big white wave using the Sea Borders die set.  In shades of red and shades of blue are the two darling purr-maids from the Purr-Maid Newton stamp and die set. Such a creative use of the challenge colors!

Sue T. brings more 4th of July fireworks with this festive CAS card!  Using the Fireworks stencil, she adds red and blue firework blooms. Zooming past is Newton from the Newton's 4th of July stamp and die set on his very own rocket! She adds the sentiment in a speech bubble using the Speech Bubbles die set.  Ka-boom!

Amy Tollner creatively uses the Newton's Naptime stamp set for her red, white, and blue card!  Newton is snuggled atop a pile of patriotic blankets fast asleep with sparkling stars (Cascading Stars stencil) shining in the background. She uses the Frames & Flags die set to create her sentiment banner.  Fabulous!

Inky Paws Challenge #150 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 sketch below:

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

Claire Lamb provides us a beach scene that will have your yearning to take your own beach trip! She beings with the sun rays using the Sunscape stencil shining up from the waves die cut using the  Sea Borders die sets.  Using the Land Borders, she creates the sandy beach for her Siamese kitten to walk upon.  That darling kitty is from the Newton's Perfect Wave stamp and die set.  She stamps the sentiment on the sun using the circular die from the Frames Squared die set. She tucks it behind a wave making for a beautiful sunrise!  

Using chicken and farm-themed papers, Debbie Owens creates a fun background setting for the trio of chickens from the Cluck stamp set. She then adds a speech bubble on a chicken-wire paper and die cut using the Speech Bubbles die set. On the same paper, she die cuts a banner for the rest of the sentiment using the small banner die from the Frames & Flags die set.  Like the postage-edged layer?  Deb uses the large die from the Framework die set.  This sketch is a fabulous way to use some of your fun pattern papers!

Summer is just around the corner, and Diane Morales gets us ready for the season with this scrumptious ice cream card! Set on a scallop-edged card base die cut using the large die from the Frames & Flags die set, Diane adds a white panel and a pink banner that she has lightly stamped the sprinkles and hearts from the Summer Scoops stamp set.  Her featured elements are the ice cream treats from same stamp set colored in yummy pastel colors. She die cuts her treats using the coordinating die set. She stamps the sentiment on a speech bubble die cut using the Speech Bubbles die set. For added texture, she uses the 

Petite Snow stencil on her white and yellow layers.  Deliciously done, Diane!

 

Using the floral wreath from the Happy Little Thoughts stamp and die set is a brilliant way to incorporate the circle elements in the sketch.  Sue T. then adds two yellow birds using the bird from the Newton's Valentine stamp and cut using the coordinating  die set. She places these elements on a pink floral background with a green banner die cut with the large banner from the Frames & Flags die set. A beautiful way to celebrate today!

Using cool colors, Amy Tollner takes under the sea for a delightful scene filled with the sweetest purr-maids!  On a teal card base, Amy adds purple shells using the Seashells stencil.  Look closely, and you'll spy a bit of glitter on those seashells!  She then adds two water-splattered distress circles die cut using the Circle Frames die set. Now to those sweet purr-maids!  They are from the Purr-maid Newton stamp and coordinating die set. Amy adds some extra underwater critters to complete her watery scene!  Delightfully done!

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along!  Remember, you have until this Friday, June 18, 2021 to enter. There's a prize involved too, so don't delay - view all the entries and see more inspiration on our Inky Paws Challenge here!

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

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!

Use the above sketch.
