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

Amy Tollner's llama in her lavender shades definitely brings a smile!  This sweet llama is from the Lovable Llamas stamp and coordinating die set. Amy uses the Serene Stripes stencil to create her pastel background which has been cut using the scallop-edge frame die from the Frames & Flags die set. She incorporates a vellum oval (Oval Frames die set) and a rounded banner (Banner Trio die set) which she embosses the sentiment.  A spectacular way to use the challenge colors!

Claire Lamb's sky subtly uses the challenge colors that is perfect for her sweet lambs on their speckled clouds!  Those lambs are from the Baa stamps and coordinating die set, and her clouds were created usign the Sky Borders die set.  Precious!

Crystal O. Minkler uses the challenge colors on this bold, beautiful card filled with butterflies!  She uses the Butterflies stencil set for her background. She places it with a pink layer and a white, scallop-edged frame (Frames & Flags die set). She creates a trio of banners and embosses a sentiment from the Garden Mice stamp set.  So lovely!

Debbie Owens uses the colors for her square-shaped Easter card. She uses the Frames Squared die set for the card base and center panel. She then stamps two tulips (Tulips stamp set) and colors one in lavender and one in pink.  She places them behind the cute bunny and his sign from the Hoppy Greetings stamp set. Such a cute scene!

Diane Morales creates the cutest slimline card using the scallop-edge frame die from the Slimline Frames & Portholes die set. She adds a white fence (Fence die set) which looks fabulous against her pink-speckled background.  Her star attraction is the sweet, tan kitty from the Newton's Easter Basket stamp and die set. She stamps the sentiment on a hand-made banner.  The extra Easter eggs fills in the space wonderfully!

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along!  Remember, you have until this Friday, March 31, 2023 to enter. There's a prize involved too, so don't delay - see more inspiration on our Inky Paws Challenge here!

Meghan K. won over Claire's heart with all those bunny bums!  Meghan combines the Bunny Tails stencil set with the little bunny from the Bunny Hop stamp set to create this fabulous Easter card.  She pulls the perfect sentiment from the Bitty Bunnies stamp set. Her pretty pink polka-dotted paper is cut using the postage-edge die from the Framework die set. So darling!

Crystal's FAVE

Crystal loved the creativity of Jennifer K.'s card.  Jennifer repurposed the Newton Celebrates stamp set by making the champagne bottle into a little vase for those pretty spring blooms.  The pale green paper adds another nice spring touch to this darling card!

Debbie's FAVE

Dandi's use of light- blue plaid paper with the bright red tulips from the Tulips and coordinating die set caught Deb's eye as well as the clean crispness of the design. The little butterfly was a sweet touch to this lovely duo!

Here's a refresher.

Use your NND products with the theme--Spring.

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

Diane Morales' pink basket-weave background (Basketweave stencil) with the scallop-edges (Frame & Flags die set) makes for a soft, pretty backdrop for her yellow tulips (Tulip stamp and coordinating die set). The vellum oval (Oval Frame die set) provides a subtle layer. Diane stamps her sentiment on a round-corner rectangle using a die from the A7 Frames & Banners die set. An elegant way to celebrate spring!

Amy Tollner celebrates spring with this darling mini-slimline (Slimline Frames and Portholes die set) card featuring the cutest orange tabby from the Newton's Birdhouse stamp and coordinating die set. Her pastel cloudy sky (Clouds stencil) makes for a perfect setting for all the birds and butterflies (Newton's Birdbath Stamp and die set) to flutter about.  Her green grass was cut using the Land Borders die set with little flowers from the Destination Love stamp and coordinating die set. 

Claire Lamb's mice filled card will have you smiling in a heartbeat!  She uses all four mice from the Garden Mice stamp set. Don't you love how she stacks them?!  She lightly distresses some clouds in the background using the Clouds stencil and creates a pretty carpet of grass for them to romp on!  Eeek!  So cute!

Crystal O. Minkler celebrates spring with this bright, floral card featuring daisies from the Dainty Daisies stamp and coordinating die set. She pulls heart and plaid papers from the Love & Chocolate paper pad that adds a playful touch. She sets everything atop a square card base using dies from the Frames Squared die set. So lovely!

Debbie Owens is back using the Newton's Rain Boots stamp set. Her card this week features a more CAS style. She makes an oval frame (Oval Frame die set) with lavender polka-dotted paper from the Springtime paper pad. She stamps her sentiment (Floral Roundabout stamp set) on a decorative square (Frames Squared die set). A cute, fun way to send thanks to someone!

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!

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

Here'a a refresher.

Use the challenge sketch.

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

Debbie Owens' bright colors look wonderful against the black card base.  She pulls papers from the Springtime paper pad and cuts them using dies from the Frames & Flags and Frameworks die set. She places the sweet kitty image from Newton's Blooms stamp atop a scalloped circle using the Circle Frames die set. Don't you love how she colors the flowers in the pot to match the paper!  So fun!

Diane Morales turns the sketch horizontally to make this bright, spring card. She pulls papers from both the Springtime and Love & Meows paper pads. She selects dies from the Oval Frames and Frames & Flags die sets to create the different layers.  Her yellow tulips from the Tulips stamp and die set coordinate wonderfully with the tulip paper!  Lovely!

Sue T.'s elegant card begins with a polka dotted embossed layer die cut using the scallop-edged Frames & Flags die set. She adds pretty pink papers that compliment the roses from the Heartfelt Roses stamp set die cut using the Heart Frames die set. Pretty in pink, indeed!

Amy Tollner creates a darling spring card on a pretty lavender card base. She layers on floral paper from the Springtime paper pad die cut using the scallop-edged frame from the Frames & Flags die set. She stamps and colors the Easter images from the Spring Roundabout stamp set die cut using the Circle Frames die set. A card filled with spring goodness!

Claire Lamb also uses the Newton's Blooms stamp and die set for her amazing sunny card!  She uses papers from the Love & Meows paper pad for her card base. Then layers some rays of sunshine using the Sunscape stencil. She stamps her sentiment from the Spring Pile Up stamps set on a stitched circle die cut using the Circle Frames die set. She places her pot of flowers and kittens (Newton's Blooms stamp and die set) in green grass using the Land Borders die set. Just a-meow-zing!
