Amy's FAVE

Kristi H.'s Halloween card caught Amy's eye.  With the spooky purple background peeking out her windows, Krist adds the little ghost and owl from the retired Boo Hoo stamp set.  For her third window, she adds the sweet, little Jack-o-lantern from the Newton's Perfect Pumpkin stamp set. Those playful polka dots are from the Halloween Meows paper pad, and they pull all the colors of Kristi's card.  For her sentiment, she pulls the Happy Halloween from the Spooky Roundabout stamp set.  Fabulously done!

Claire's FAVE

Vicki's use of the pastel papers from the Birthday Woofs paper pad with the two ice cream cones from the Summer Scoops stamp and coordinating die set was a fabulous idea. The pale yellow ice cream looks so delicious, especially with the added sprinkles using the Celebrations Embellishment Mix.  She also uses the heart from the Furr-ever Friends die set and the postage-edged die from the Framework die set to complete this scrumptious card!

Crystal's FAVE

Becca's combination of the lime green paw print paper and the pink polka dotted paper caught Crystal's eye.  Both papers are from the A Cat's Life paper pad.  Becca continues the fun by turning the card and adding circular elements with images from the Cat Treats stamp set. Don't you just love the little donut and ice cream cone?!  Wonderfully done!

Danni's FAVE

Jennifer K. caught Danni's eye with her use of the lime green!  Jennifer finds the perfect color of green ink to create her background using the Holiday Foliage stencil. She continues the fun by adding striped paper from the Canine Christmas paper pad. Instead of stamped images, Jennifer carefully cuts out her canine images from the paper.  Such a clever idea!  She then pulls the sentiment from the Puppy Present stamp set.  Such a bright, festive card!

Debbie's FAVE

Danielle's use of purple and orange caught Deb's eye. Danielle pulls the orange seashore paper from the Summertime paper pad, and then uses the Confetti hot foil plate with purple foil.  For her stitched circles she uses the Slimline Frames & Portholes die set.  Love it!  She adds a trio of very scrumptious-looking drinks from the Cocktail Mixer stamp and coordinating die set.  The overall effect is "Let's celebrate! 

Thank you for playing!

Debbie Owens uses the challenge colors for a playful summer scene complete with the little puppies from the Beach Barks stamp set. She pairs them with papers from the Summertime paper pad. Using the scallop-edged oval from the Oval Frames die set, she creates a little swimming pool using the blue bubbly paper, again from the Summertime paper pad. She completes the card with a summer sentiment from the Seashell Roundabout stamp set.

Amy Tollner celebrates with some scrumptious summer treats using the Summer Scoops stamp and coordinating die set. She sets those treats on a confetti background using the Confetti stencil. To create the postage-edging, she uses the Framework die set. The sentiment was stamp on a banner using a die from the Frames & Flags die set.

Crystal Minkler builds her card around the cutest little mushroom from the Fabulous Fungus stamp set. She places it on a circle (Circle Frames die set) and adds some grass beneath it. She then pulls papers from the Birthday Party paper pad and uses an assortment of dies from the Frames & Flags die set and the Frames Squared die set. Love how her red mushroom pulls out the splatter of red in the paper! Super fun and festive!

Debbie Owens uses the Quatrefoil Stencil and distress ink in lavender for an elegant birthday background. She cuts it using the scallop-edged frame from the Frames & Flags die set. On a banner, she adds a sentiment from the Birthday Roundabout stamp set. Her feature element is the Siamese kitty from the Newton's Gift stamp set. A pretty way to send birthday wishes!

Diane Morales's card is all about the ice cream! These yummy treats are from the Summer Scoops stamp and coordinating die set. She places them on a scallop-edged card base (Frames & Flags die set) which has been partially embossed and distressed using the Quatrefoil stencil. The added sprinkles are a fun touch balancing out Diane's card!

Amy Tollner's card is bursting with birthday cuteness! Her scallop-edged layer (Frames & Flags die set) has pastel confetti (Confetti stencil) all over it! She adds a vellum oval (Oval Frames die set) embossed in white using the Birthday Oval stamp set. Front and center is one of the ladies from the Holding Happiness stamp and coordinating die set. Her sentiment from the Birthday Roundabout stamp set has been added to a banner (Banner Trio die set). The overall effect is an amazing birthday card!

Claire Lamb's birthday card with tacos, margarita, and cats is a perfect combination to celebrate a birthday! She distresses a trio of circles (Circle Frames die set) distressed in hues of lime green to place her elements from the Newton Loves Tacos stamps and coordinating die set. Her CAS style and vibrant colors are fabulously done!

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.

Use the challenge sketch with your NND products.

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

Diane Morales uses papers from the Summertime paper pad to showcase her yummy, frozen treats from the Summer Scoops stamp and die set. To make this delicious card, she also uses several die sets: Circle Frames die set for the pink circle, Frames Squared die set for the decorative-edged square, and A7 Frames & Banners die set for the little banner.  Scrumptious!

Sue T. pairs the Tulips stamp and die set with the tulip-pattern paper from the Springtime paper pad. Stamping the tulips on the base card is a creative way to use the sketch and add dimension to her floral garden!  So pretty!

Amy Tollner pairs the ukulele-playing kitten from the Aloha Newton stamp and die set with bright, tropical papers from the Summertime paper pad. She stamps the sentiment on a banner made using the Frames & Flags die set. Doesn't this look like a tropical paradise?

Claire Lamb creates a amazing CAS card using the lounging lady from the Summer Moments stamp and die set with the rays of sunshine behind her. These were made using the Sunscape stencil. What a relaxing scene!

 Debbie Owens also goes with a beach theme. For her card, she has Newton from the Newton's Perfect Wave stamp set catching a big wave. She adds texture to her water using the Sea Borders die set, and she uses the  Clouds stencil for her cloudy sky. On the beach, she adds seashells (Summer Moments stamp set), a pail of sand (Newton's Summer Vacation stamp set), and a little red crab (Tides of Love stamp set). She stamps a sentiment from the Beach Bound stamp set on a banner using the Banner Trio die set.  Pulling the small elements from various sets can add such fun details to any scene!

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along!  Remember, you have until this Friday, July 15, 2022 to enter. There's a prize involved too, so don't delay - see more inspiration on our Inky Paws Challenge here!
