Flying by to say hello by Diane features Winston Takes Flight, Clouds, Sky Borders by Newton's Nook Designs; #newtonsnook, #inkypaws, #cardmaking, #bearcards

Diane Morales creates tons of puffy clouds just perfect for an airplane ride!

Using the Clouds stencil, Diane adds clouds to her navy and light blue layers. She uses the Sky Borders die set to create the horizontal stripe. Flying amongst all those clouds is our favorite bear, Winston from the Winston Takes Flight stamp and die set. What a fabulous way to send a hello greeting to a friend!

Make everyday a beach day by Aloha Newton and Tropical Leaves by Newton's Nook Designs; #newtonsnook, #inkypaws, #cardmaking, #catcard, #tropicalcard

Sue T. creates a little tropical paradise just right for a little nap! She begins by using the Tropical Leaves stencil in shades of greens. She then stamps and die cuts hibiscus flowers to create the stripe in the sketch. Her main attraction is napping Newton from the Aloha Newton stamp and die set in his hammock between two coconut trees! Who wouldn't want to hang out in this slice of paradise?

Best friends come in all shapes and sizes by Amy features Woof Pack and Woof by Newton's Nook Designs; #newtonsnook, #inkypaws, #dogcards, #cardmaking

Ready for puppy overload? Then you will love Amy T.'s darling card! She begins by creating a silver embossed background using the Woof stencil. She stamps the full image from the Woof Pack stamp set, and colors the pack of puppies in a range of fun colors! She stamps the sentiment in teal and distresses the white layer. Her glitter silver stripe adds more shimmer to this fun-lovin' puppy card!

Donut know what I'd do without mew by Claire features Newton's Donut and Banner Trio by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #cardmaking, #catcard

Claire Lamb creates a yummy card showcasing the donut-lovin' kitty from the Newton's Donut stamp and die set! She sets the scene by repeatedly embossing the small donut image and lightly distressing in pink. She embosses the sentiment on a pale teal banner die using the Banner Trio die set. Don't you just love those pink pads on her black and white kitten? Just too cute!

Let's be mermaids by Debbie features Frames & Flags,

Debbie Owens creates a delightful underwater scene. She uses the Frames & Flags and the Framework die sets to create layers in ocean-like colors and patterns. She uses dies from the Sea Borders set to create a wavy stripe as well as creating waves in the background from acetate, vellum, and white card stock with the sentiment stamped on it. She then showcases the images from the Purr-maid Newton stamp set enjoying the water. A few sequins add a shimmery touch. Magical!
