you can use for any occasion!

You have from Monday, May 5, 2025 to Friday, May 30, 2025 (Midnight, CST) to play along. Each DT member will pick a favorite project to showcase, AND one RANDOM entry will win a $20 store credit to Newton's Nook Design online shop!  The winners will be announced on the NND blog the following Monday.  Make sure you check the challenge rules page before you link up your project. 

Here's some inspiration.  

This month's month sketch is super versatile as you will see with the IPC DTs projects.  Are you inspired to make summer cards, Father's Day cards, Halloween, or maybe even a Christmas one!

Danni's puppy card features Fetching Friendship, A Dog's Life, Circle Frames, and Frames & Flags by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #cardmaking, #cardchallenge, #friendshipcard, #dogcards, #puppycards
Danni Bindel was inspired to make this delightful puppy card using the Fetching Friendship stamp set. She selects papers from the A Dog's Life paper pad and uses the Circle Frames and the Frames & Flags die sets to create her multiple layers.  Love that this pup has a stash of tennis balls!

Debbie's Christmas card features Canine Christmas, Christmas Puppies, Oval Frames, and Frames & Tags by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #cardmaking, #cardchallenge, #christmascards, #dogcards, #puppycards
Debbie Owens is inspired to create a Christmas card. She uses papers from the Canine Christmas paper pad and die cut using the zig-zag frame die from the Frames & Tags die set. She then pulls out the Christmas Puppies stamp set and selects the same puppy as on the paper. Since this is a taller image, Deb opts to use an oval(Oval Frames) instead of a circle from the sketch.  Good job getting a jump start on your Christmas stash with this adorable card!

Amy Tollner decides on a floral card filled with spring freshness. She pulls papers from the Spring Blooms paper pad and layers them on her chartreuse green card base. She uses the Circle Frames die set for her stitched circle on which she has placed some sweet lilies of the valley using the Little Lilies stamp and coordinating die set.  So pretty!

Claire's spring card features Spring Heights, Frames Squared, Pastel Basics, and Spring Blooms by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #cardmaking, #cardchallenge, #puppycards, #dogcards, #springcards
Claire Lamb uses the sketch for this playful card spotlighting this delightful puppy trio from the Spring Heights stamp and coordinating die set. For her background, Claire uses papers from the Spring Blooms and the Pastel Basics paper pads and adds her sentiment in a little stitched circle from the Frames Squared die set. The pink and green combination looks so pretty together!

Crystal's Christmas card features Holiday Postage, Framework, Circle Frames, and Meowy Christmas by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #cardmaking, #cardchallenge, #christmascards, #holidaycards
Crystal Minkler is also adding to her stash of Christmas cards with this festive holiday card. She pulls a trio of pattern papers from the Meowy Christmas paper pad and uses the Framework die set to create her scallop-edged frame. She adds a stitched circle using the Circle Frames die set. The little wreath and sentiment are from the Holiday Postage Sampler stamp and coordinating die set  and add to the festivitity and charm of this pretty card!

Don't forget you now have until May 30, 2025 to get 
creative with this sketch!

Crystal's spring card features Cherry Blossoms and Postage Stamp Layout by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #cardmakingideas, #cardmaking, #cardchallenge, #floralcards, #flowercards

Danni Bindel's darling puppy card is filled with cuteness. She uses two, blue pattern papers from the Spring Blooms paper pad with dies from the Basic Frames die set to create her brilliant layers. She then uses the puppies from the Spring Heights stamp and coordinating die set who are too cute with their gardening tools and pot of flowers!

Debbie's spring card features Heartfelt Blooms, Floral Delights, Spring Blooms, Plaid, Petite Flowers, and Newton's Flower Garden by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #cardmakingideas, #cardmaking, #cardchallenge, #floralcards, #flowercards, #catcards

Debbie Owens uses two stencils, Petite Flowers and Plaid, to create her pink and green backdrop. She adds a spring of pink daisies from the Floral Delights stamps set, which she tucks behind the Quatrefoil panel created using paper from the Spring Blooms paper pad. Enjoying all the fresh flowers is the darling feline from the Newton's Flower Garden stamp set. Deb adds a sentiment from the Heartfelt Blooms stamp set for her final touch. So cute!
