latest Inky Paws Challenge!

  

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

Here's a refresher.

Use the sketch above with your NND products!

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

Claire Lamb's colorful balloon bouquet looks like the perfect ride for the feline and canine to enjoy a spectacular cloudy day.  To make her card, Claire uses the Clouds stencil and the Oval Frames die set for her sky. Those darling critters and balloons are from the Sky High Celebrations stamp and die set. At last, she pulls a sentiment from the Newton's Kite stamp set. 

 Debbie Owens showcases the napping sloth from the Slothy Christmas stamp set.  This adorable stamp set is retiring, so be sure to grab your set before it's too late!  She pairs him with some cocktails from the Christmas Cocktails stamp set.  For her background she uses papers from the Meowy Christmas paper pad and die cuts little snowflakes using the Snow Globe Shaker die set.

Diane Morales sneaks in one last summer card. This card features the daring surfer Newton from the Newton's Perfect Wave stamp and die set. She combines papers from the Summertime paper pad and stamps some little fish from the Shark Bite stamp set for added fun!

\

Sue T. showcases the Cultivated Cacti stamp and die set with this elegant, yet CAS card.  The Washi tape and embossed oval add lovely texture that pairs nicely with the patterns on the pots!

Amy Tollner brings beautiful birthday wishes with her card. She showcases the pretty flowers from the Best Mom Oval stamp set with papers from the Springtime paper pad.  She uses the Oval Frames die set to add the scalloped oval.

Inky Paws Challenge #110 Reminder

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

Here'a a refresher.
Colors Challenge

Create a project using the colors--teal, green, pink, and white.

Today I have some more inspiration for this Challenge:

Bobbi Lemanski has a special talent of hand drawing her backgrounds. This beautiful square card features a wintery scene filled with birch trees. In her foreground she adds glitter card stock for her children to sled on. Those amazing silhouette children are from the Winter Memories stamp and die set. Bobbi selects the perfect as she has captured the magic of the season in her card!

Debbie Owens is back with another flamingo-themed card. This time it's for Christmas! She creates the background with the scallop-edged frame using Frames & Flags die set. She then stamps the flamingo images from the Festive Flamingos stamp set in different directions multiple times. She adds the scallop-edged tag using the Fancy Edges Tag die set with a very tired sloth from the Slothy Christmas stamp set dreaming of a pink Christmas.  The dream bubble is from the Speech Bubbles die set and the little flamingo is from the Cozy Campers stamp set.

Diane Morales brings us this delightful card.  Her teal background filled with the fluffy heart-shaped clouds (Tumbling Hearts stencil) makes for a wonderful background for the cute little pig from the Oink stamp and die set.  She die cuts this background with the Frames & Flags die set to give it the scallop edges. Using the Land Borders die set, she creates rolling hills for the little guy to play on.  She finishes by stamping the "Hogs & Kisses" sentiments!

Sue T.'s card is filled absolute sweetness. Beginning with a pink card base, she adds the white scallop-edged frame (Frames & Flags die set) and cuts a large circle out. She pops this layer with dimensional tape. In the circle which is also popped up, she adds pale green trees using the Forest Scene Builder die set. Her pale teal sky is dotted with snowflakes from the Sweater Weather stamp set. The ballerina mouse from the Nutcracker Squeak stamp and die set takes center stage! Adorable!

Becky Noelle creates a more traditional Christmas card by stamping and coloring poinsettias in all four corners of her card. The amazingly colored flowers are from the Poinsettia Blooms stamp set. Don't you love the touches of teal that Becky adds?  She then die cuts the sentiment in dark pink using the Holiday Greetings die set. Elegant and festive!

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along!  Remember, you have until this Friday, November 15, 2019 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 Burlap or Twine.

Today I have some more inspiration for this Challenge! 

Emily Lauritzen uses a soft color palette for this darling car. She adds a subtle background using the Falling Leaves stencil which she die cuts using the  Framework die set and adheres it to a pastel orange background. She die cuts a burlap circle and adds a smaller circle featuring that sweet black kitty peeking behind those pumpkins from the Newton's Pumpkin Patch  stamp set. Using the banner die from Frames & Flags die set, she adds her sentiment.

Sue T. captures the essence of autumn with her beautifully shaded leaves from the Shades of Autumn stamp and die sets. She adds a banner with a sentiment from Autumn Newton stamp set. All of this is layered atop burlap which adds a perfect amount of texture.

Becky Noelle creates this amazing backdrop by using textured paste and the Tree Rings stencil on burlap!  She them stamps her sentiment from the Newton's Pumpkin Patch stamp set on the banner using the Frames & Flags die set. The sweet deer and his wagon load of pumpkins are from the Harvest Tails stamp set.

Debbie Owens creates this playful scene by beginning with the Framework die set to create the background. She the embosses using a polka dotted folder. She adds the burlap trees by die cutting them with the Forest Scene Builder die set. She adds a twine rope in which the sweet sloth from the Slothy Christmas stamp set to slide upon. The leaves from the Autumn Leaves die set work well as tropical leaves. To finish she adds the sentiment to the banner using the Frames & Flags die set.

Diane Morales gives us a fabulous project just in time for Thanksgiving!  That fabulous orange burlap ribbon sparked the idea for these utensil holders. She uses the cute turkey (Can turkeys be cute?) from  Newton's Thanksgiving stamp set and stamps the sentiment on goldenrod card stock. She adds all these elements to her utensil holders made from these amazing autumn papers!
