Inky Paws Challenge #237 Week 2

 

 Welcome to Inky Paws'  

February Challenge!

For the month of February 

we have a fabulous sketch to play with!

You have 3 more weeks to get creative with this layered sketch and your NND Products!

You have until Friday, February 28, 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.  

Sketches can be challenging for some crafters.  An easy way to use sketches is to pull out coordinating pattern papers for your layers.  Now let's see how the IPC created their layers:

Crystal's Valentine's card features Newton's Sweetheart, Frames & Flags, Heart Frames, and Love & Meows by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #inkypawschallenge, #newtonsnook, #newtonsnookdesigsn,  #catcard, #cardmaking, #cardchallenge, #cardmakingideas, #lovecards, #valentinescards
Crystal Minkler has a feline-filled Valentine's Day card that features this lovely feline duo. These sweet felines are from the Newton's Sweetheart stamp and coordinating die set. She pulls several papers from the Love & Meows paper pad to create her teal and red layers. She uses the Frames & Flags and the Heart Frames die sets to create her banner and heart. A darling way to send "love" messages!

Danni's fun farm card features Farmer Newton, Barn, Banner Trio, Frames & Tags and Farmyard by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #inkypawschallenge, #newtonsnook, #newtonsnookdesigsn,  #catcard, #cardmaking, #cardchallenge, #cardmakingideas, #farmcards
Danni Bindel takes to us out to the country with this darling farm card! She pulls a wonderful combination of papers from the Farmyard paper pad. She uses the Banner Trio and the Frames & Tags die sets to create the zig-zag edging and banner.  Our darling feline farmer from the Farmer Newton stamp and coordinating die set is sporting cute denim bib overalls as he poses in front of his barn (Barn die).  Cuteness overload!

Debbie's coffee card features Mugs, Coffee House Stories, Frames & Flags, and Newton's Reading List by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #inkypawschallenge, #newtonsnook, #newtonsnookdesigsn; #coffeelovers, #coffeecards, #catcard, #cardmaking, #cardchallenge, #cardmakingideas
Debbie Owens goes with a cat-ffeinated card by inking her background using the Mugs stencil. She then adds a combination of coffee-mugs and bookshelves using papers from the Coffee House Stories paper pad. She creates her lavender banner using the Frames & Flags die set. The start attraction is the little book-lovin' kitty from the Newton's Reading List stamp set. Coffee and a good book--a fab combination to "feline" fine!

Amy's Valentine's card features Newton's Sweetheart, Love & Meows, Lovely Hearts, and Frames & Flags by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #inkypawschallenge, #newtonsnook, #newtonsnookdesigsn,  #catcard, #cardmaking, #cardchallenge, #cardmakingideas, #valentinescards, #catcards, #lovecards
Amy Tollner creates a bright bold Valentine's card with purple, pinks, and reds! She finds a romantic combination of papers from the Love and Meows and the Lovely Hearts paper pads. (Don't you love how the different pads can be mixed and matched?  😏) She then adds another feline couple from the Newton's Sweetheart stamp and coordinating die set. They are looking so cute with the glittery, red banner shimmering behind them!  This banner was made using the banner die from the Frames and Flags. So sweet!

Claire's Valentine's card features Postage Stamp Layout, Valentine's Postage, Neutral Basics, and Bright Basics by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #inkypawschallenge, #newtonsnook, #newtonsnookdesigns; #cardmaking, #cardchallenge, #cardmakingideas, #valentinescards, #lovecards
Claire Lamb was also feeling the love with her Valentine's card. She goes with a Kraft card base paired with gray and red papers from the Neutral Basics and the Bright Basics paper pads.  (Love this color combo!😻) She then adds a single postage stamp using the Postage Stamp Layout die and the envelope image from the Valentine Postage Sampler stamp set. Simply amazing!

Here's some inspiration.  

This color combination would make fun Valentine's, flowery spring, or beautiful birthday cards. There's so many ways to combine them.  Let's see how the IPC team used them:

Danni Bindel creates this darling Valentine's card using the sweet puppy from the Puppy Heart stamp set. She uses papers from the Love & Woofs paper pad to create the panels made using the Frames & Tags die set. She die cuts (Heart Frames die set) a large heart in which she has embossed puppy paws using the Pawprints stencil. The overall effect is puppy cuteness!

Debbie Owens was also inspired to use the Frames & Tags die set to create her card layout. She frames it with the scallop-edge die from the Frames & Flags die set. See those little hearts in the background? Those were made using the Petite Hearts stencil. Deb scatters different images from the Valentine Postage Sampler stamp set. She adds sentiments pulled from the Heartfelt Love stamp set. A wonderfully designed "love" card!

Amy's Valentine's card features Charming Hearts Frame, Valentine's Words Trio, and Lovely Hearts by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #inkypawschallenge, #newtonsnookdesigns, #newtonsnook, #valentinescards, #cardmaking, #cardchallenge, #lovecards

She then uses the recently released Charming Hearts Frame die and adds some white and shimmering red hearts to it. She continues with the XOXO sentiment from the Valentine Words Trio die set. A fabulous combination of products!

Claire's coffee card features Coffee Frame, Thanks a Latte, and Christmas Basics by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #inkypawschallenge, #newtonsnookdesigns, #newtonsnook, #coffeecards, #coffeelovers, #cardmaking, #cardchallenge,
Claire Lamb opts for a coffee-themed card. She uses the Coffee Frame die set atop red polka-dotted paper from the Christmas Basics paper pad. She then adds her sentiment with each word in a challenge color. This fabulous sentiment is from the Thanks a Latte die set. A fabulous way to send thanks to a loved one!

Crystal's coffee card features Coffee Silhouettes, Newton Loves Coffee, Framework, and Coffee Shop by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #inkypawschallenge, #newtonsnookdesigns, #newtonsnook, #coffeelovers, #coffeecards, #cardmaking, #cardchallenge

She embraces the turquoise and browns of the challenge with a splash of red on her coffee mugs!  Crystal creatively combines papers from the Coffee Shop paper pad. She creates her different layers using dies from the Framework die set. She uses the Coffee Silhouettes die set to create her trio of mugs and follows up with a sentiment from the Newton Loves Coffee stamp set.  A wonderful coffee-themed card!
