Inky Paws Challenge #66 Reminder

Don't forget - There's still one week to play along with our latest Inky Paws Challenge!

Have you had a chance to make a card for our latest Inky Paws Challenge? 
Today I'm sharing some more inspiration for our Theme Challenge! 

Here'a a refresher.  It's a THEME Challenge:  Baby

Today I have some more inspiration for this Challenge! 

Emily Lauritzen delights with these proud parents from Newton's Sweetheart stamp set. The diagonal stripes against the stenciled pawprints Tumbling Hearts working fabulously together. To finish it off are those little black pawprints from the Furr-ever Friends stamp set.

Zsofia Molnar designs these darlings cards with a combination of Loveable Laundry stamp set and Stitched Onesie die set with the cutest baby paper!  I love the soft baby boy colors with the stitched frame!  Cute!

Andrea Shell creates this sweet baby card using Deer Friend stamp set. I love how she frames the deer with the scallop edging. Then there is all the pink!  Seriously...delightful!

Debbie Owens uses Wild Child stamp set and Frames & Flags die set to create this sweet baby card. Those soft pastel colors and the bow provide the perfect touches to spotlight the darling giraffes!  

Diane Morales' tag makes for a special touch for a baby shower gift. I love how she uses  the Spring Showers stamp set with the little chick from  the Hello Spring stamp set. Love her puddle of water and the twine bow!

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along! Remember, you have until this Friday, March 2, 2018 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!

Emily Lauritzen's cloudy sky, grass, and clothesline are the perfect touches to coordinate with the Loveable Laundry stamp set. Such a delightful way to welcome a new baby!

Zsofia Molnar's card just makes me smile with her creative use of stamp sets to create a nontraditional, but delightful, baby card. Zsofia uses Loveable Laundry stamp set, Love Bites stamp and die set, and Sending Hugs stamp and die set. Seriously darling!

Andrea Shell's soft pastel colors are perfect to welcome a new baby. She uses Sending Hugs stamp and die set, Simply Sentimental stamp set, and Fancy Edges Tag Die set. So sweet!

Debbie Owens makes a fun star-shaped card featuring Wild Child  stamp set. Love the soft pastel colors and the star-themed pattern paper. The added button and twine are great embellishments.


Diane Morales creates this darling shape card combining Wild Child stamp set and Toucan Party stamp set. Those leaves are a wonderful way to showcase the mommy and baby giraffes!  So cute!

Since there were so many beautiful heart cards, we chose THREE more as our favorite picks! If you see your card below, contact us if you'd like to get a "favorite" badge for your blog!

We really loved this adorable card by Heidi! We loved how she mixed the "love you" & "mom" from our Love Grows stamp set with the sweet little penguin pair from the Wild Child stamp set! What a fun pairing! We also loved the watercolor in the heart - so pretty! 

The next two favorites are both awesome clean and simple cards and use our raccoon image - We couldn't decide which we liked better since they were so lovely - so we picked both!

We really loved this Clean and Simple card by Karen using the cute raccoon from the Sweetheart Tails stamp set. The clean style is so striking - and the subtle hearts on the grey stripe are a fun detail! 

Here's another Clean and Simple card by Lynn - also using the raccoon from the Sweetheart Tails stamp set.  We loved the contrast of the bright red against the white - and the cute little hearts in the background are so fun! 

Thanks so much!
