Have you had a chance to make a card for our latest Inky Paws Challenge? 

Here'a a refresher.

Create a project using Stripes on your NND project!

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

Amy Tollner brings us a colorful ice cream card. She combines the Slimline Frames & Portholes and the  Slimline Frames & Windows  die sets to create the layers. She incorporates her stripes with her choice of the colorful plaid paper.  In two of the porthole windows, she adds bowls of vanilla ice cream with sprinkles. These scrumptious treats come from the Summer Scoops stamp and coordinating die set. So fun!

Claire Lamb uses a teal striped background to showcase her cupcake lovin' kitten!  She continues by die cutting her center piece using the rounded square die from the Frames & Flags die set. On this she uses the Confetti stencil over a partially water colored layer.  Alas, she adds her black kitten from the Newton's Cupcake stamp and coordinating die set. Don't you love how Claire adds the lines in her cupcake line?  Just darling!

 Debbie Owens brings us a touch of school!  She uses primary writing pattern paper for her stripes which she die cuts using the Slimline Frames & Windows  die set.  She adds them atop a black scalloped rectangle die cut using Slimline Frames & Portholes die set. She pulls two of the studious kittens from the Newton's Book Club stamp set.  Don't you love the pops of red against the black and white?  So cute!

Diane Morales takes us under the sea with her fun wavy stripes!  She uses the Hills & Grass stencil to create her distressed waves. She adds the adventurous Newton in his scuba gear from the Scuba Newton stamp and coordinating die set. A fabulous way to add stripes!  

Sue T. makes monochromatic stripes and adds them to her rounded corner rectangle which was cut using a die from the Frames & Flags die set.  She adds a pair of playful puppies from the Beach Barks stamp and coordinating die set. Her stamps her sentiment on a speech bubble cut using the Speech Bubbles die set. Don't these puppies look adorable in their sea foam green and teal  beachwear?  So, so cute!

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along!  Remember, you have until this Friday, August 13, 2021 to enter. There's a prize involved too, so don't delay - see more inspiration on our Inky Paws Challenge here!

Here'a a refresher.




Create a project using the colors: orange, purple, yellow, and black.

Today I have some more inspiration for this Challenge! 

Sue T. creates black on black layers to showcase her spookily-cute tag.  Her second black layer has the postage-edging that adds a nice texture and was created using the large frame die from the Framework die set. Sue distresses in orange her tag which was die cute using  Fancy Edges Tag die set.  She goes back and uses the Spiderweb stencil to add a black cobweb.  There's no spider on this web! Instead, Sue adds the darling duo from the Happy Howl-oween stamp and die set. Aren't they darling in their cute costumes?  

 Becky Noelle's midnight scene with the dark purple sky and black silhouettes of trees and fence from the Forest Scene Builder and the Fence die sets make for an eerie backdrop.  She adds black hills using the Land Borders die set for her black kitties to romp. Those black kitties are from the Newton's Boo-tiful Night stamp and die set. A Halloween scene filled with spooks and sweetness!

Crystal Komara creates a vibrant background in orange and purple with lots of speckles. She uses the Slimline Frames & Windows die set to make a black window frame which she fills with some overly large letters that spell BOO!  She pulls out two of the images from the Newton's Boo-tiful Night stamp and die set and colors her pumpkins orange and purple.  The addition of the 3D bats is a spook-tacular touch to this fabulous card!

 Debbie Owens creates layers of Halloween fun!  Starting with the purple scallop-edged background using the Frames & Flags die set, she embosses using the Spiderweb stencil and embossing paste and distress ink.  She adds the scallop-edged circle die cut using the largest die from the Circle Frames die set and distresses the edge in purple. She features the Spooky Roundabout stamp set on it and colors the images in orange, yellow, and black.  She adds a black banner (Frames & Flags die set) and embosses the sentiment in white.  She stamps and colors the trio of trick-or-treaters from the Halloween Trio stamp set.  She pulls the candy images from the Candy Corn and the Halloween stamp sets and scatters them around her sweet critters.  A fun way to combine products for a layered Halloween card!

 

Diane Morales takes a simplicity approach to the challenge creating this absolutely darling Halloween card! Using the Slimline Frames & Portholes die set, she creates the black, scallop-edged card base. She creates a spooky background using the Ghosts stencil and gradients the challenge colors. She adds a black hill using the Land Borders die set and adds the Trick-or-Treat sentiment using the die from the Halloween Trio die set.  She die cuts several bat images using the same set and scatters the bats among the ghosts!  Spook-tacular!

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along!  Remember, you have until this Friday, October 23, 2020 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!

Here'a a refresher.

Create a project using the theme: Autumn  

Today I have some more inspiration for this Challenge! 

Diane Morales uses the postage-edge frame die from the Framework die set to begin her card. She stamps and colors the falling leaves from the Fall Roundabout stamp set in gorgeous autumn colors. She adds the scalloped circle die cut from the Circle Frames die set.  In the center, she adds Newton from the Newton's Flower Garden stamp and die set enjoying some autumn flowers.  She makes a vertical banner die cut using the Frames & Flags die set and stamps the "Happy Fall" sentiment.  Total cuteness!

Sue T. showcases the image from the Paw-tumn Newton stamp and die set. She adds a black banner with a white embossed sentiment from the Fall Roundabout stamp set. She die cuts the postage-edged white frame using the die from the Framework die set. Such a pretty clean, crisp autumn card!

Becky Noelle also uses the Fall Roundabout stamp set for her autumn card. Her use of copper embossing powder add a perfect touch of elegance to her leaves. She frames her falling leaves using the window panel from the Slimline Frames & Windows die set. She pulls the "Happy Fall" sentiment from the Harvest Tails stamp set and stamps it on the banner.  A festive and fabulous fall card!

Crystal Komara combines wood grain paper, plaid, and gingham papers for a fabulous setting for her trio of mice.  She uses the window panel die from the Slimline Frames & Windows die set for her trio of windows.  In each, she adds a busy mouse from Autumn Mice stamp and die set hurriedly getting ready for autumn! Adorable!

Debbie Owens combines dies from the Slimline Frames & Portholes and Slimline Frames & Windows die sets to create her olive green frame with grass die cut using the Land Borders die set. She distresses the panels in yellow and adds leaves and acorns from the Autumn Leaves die set in the outermost corners. She then stamps and fussy cuts three acorn-laden squirrels from the Harvest Tails stamp set. She also stamps and cuts out the deer and places a squirrel inside the wagon.  Such a fun scene of squirrels getting ready for winter!

With the striped backdrop cut withe scallop-edged die from the Frame & Flags die set, Diane Morales creates a serene scene with her yellow truck from the Farming Fun stamp and die set taking center stage on a circle frame using the Circle Frames die set. She fills the bed of the truck with a giant pumpkin from the Harvest Tails stamp and die set. She uses the Land Borders die set to create a small green hill. She adds extra pumpkins and leaves fluttering around her card using the smaller elements from the Paw-tumn Newton stamp and coordinating die set. She stamps the "Welcome Autumn" sentiment from the Fall Roundabout stamp set on the rounded banner die in the Banner Trio die set. A fun way to bring in the new season!

Sue T. creates a circle card on Kraft card stock using the Circle Frames die set. She stamps the fall circular image from the Fall Roundabout stamp set on four different colored papers. She cuts them in strips and reassembles them in a circle which makes for a fabulous backdrop.  She cuts a dark brown strip with scallop-edges and heat embosses the "Fall Blessings" sentiment. She uses dimensional tape to create dimension for a fabulous fall card!

Becky Noelle is back with her spectacular use of stencils!  For this card, she uses the Falling Leaves stencil on a wood veneer paper.  After she uses many colored distress inks for her leaves, she hand draws the veins on each leaf!  Gorgeous!  She then uses the Fancy Edges Tag die set to create a vellum tag with the poem from the Fall-ing for You stamp set embossed in white. She adds stitching to the bottom of her tag and jute for her bow at the top.  Don't you just love the mix of textures and rich colors?!

Crystal Komara uses gold foil paper die cute from the Slimline Frames & Windows die set to create her trio of windows. In the background, she uses goldenrod yellow gingham for a country feel. She uses Copic markers to color the sweet bird from the Hummingbird stamp and die set and stamps multiple stems of flowers and arranges them up her vertical card. A beautiful autumn card with a touch of golden elegance!

 Debbie Owens begins her card with a steel-gray base.  Using the Houndstooth Stencil, she distresses uses a light brown which coordinates with the center of her flowers. She die cuts this layer using the postage-edge die out of the Framework die set. She adds her autumn image from the Paw-tumn Newton stamp set. She adds olive green ribbon and stamps the sentiment on a die-cut banner from the Banner Trio die set.  A sweet country fall card!
