Crystal's FAVE

Jill M.'s background is so festive and goes fabulously with her taco-lovin' cats from the Newton Loves Tacos stamp and coordinating die set.  Such a fun way to send birthday greetings!

Debbie's FAVE

Kristi H. creates a great background using the challenge colors.  The dark gray grass and yellow sunshine create a nice setting for her kitty from the Newton's Birdbath stamp and coordinating die set to enjoy some bird watching!  The heart paper (Love & Meows paper pad) provides a nice romantic touch!

Diane's FAVE

Jennifer K. combines clouds and coffee for this super cute card.  With a bit of fussy cutting, Jennifer adds lots of mugs (Love Cafe stamp set) of caffeinated joy!  The sentiment works wonderfully with the heart paper and hearts on the mugs!  

Amy's FAVE

Christy creates this darling 3D card!  For her card front, Christy uses the Plaid stencil set and cuts an oval using the Oval Frames die set.  Inside, she pulls the gray pawprint paper from the Love & Meows paper pad, and her sweet kitty from the Newton's Valentine stamp and coordinating die set is looking so cute with his big red heart!  She stamps the birthday sentiment on a banner using the Banner Trio die set.

Claire's FAVE

Karen G. uses not one, not two, but all four mice from the Garden Mice stamp and coordinating die set!  Don't they look so cute with their treasures from nature! The sentiment on black adds a nice dramatic touch to this sweetly designed card!

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

Crystal O. Minkler's darling card features one of the sweet mice from the Garden Mice stamp and coordinating die set. She pairs him with yellow polka-dotted paper from the Springtime paper pad. Her vellum circle was created using the Circle Frame die set.  Super fun and cute!

Debbie Owens uses the challenge colors for this sweet beach scene set on a circular card (Circle Frame die set). She uses the red striped paper from the Love & Meows paper pad. She colors the little crab red and kitten gray. Both are from the Kitten Beach stamp set. The sentiment comes from the Newton's Summer Vacation stamp set. Super fun way to use the colors!

Diane Morales brings us a pretty and elegant tag. She adds texture using the Basketweave stencil. She then pulls the gray heart paper from the Coffee House Stories paper pad.  Those pretty flowers are from the Dainty Daisies stamp and coordinating die set. The red banner with the sentiment adds a nice pop of color. Lovely!

Amy Tollner's card is just in time for Valentine's Day!  She adds yellow hearts for her background using the Tumbling Hearts stencil and cut using the scallop-edged frame from the  Frames & Flags die set. She layers on a duo of banners and adds the super cute feline from the Newton's Heart stamp and coordinating die set. Sweet!

Claire Lamb features two playful kitties from the Newton Unwinds stamp and coordinating die set.  Her CAS layout is purr-fect as is the use of the challenge colors!  The shiny "Meow" adds a nice touch of sparkle (Pawprint Shaker die set). Wonderfully done!

Crystal Minkler is making her debut on Inky Paws as our newest design team member! We are so excited to have her creativity with us.  For her darling card, Crystal uses the little envelope paper from the Love & Meows paper pad for her background. She pulls the gray paw print paper from the same set and cut using the scallop-edged circle from the Circle Frames die set. She showcases the recently released kitty from the Newton's Heart stamp and die set.  For a bit of color contrast, she adds a little heart (Springtime paper pad).  Welcome, Crystal!

Debbie Owens uses the challenge color for a nontraditional Christmas card. She showcases the retiring Poinsettia Blooms stamp set (on sale for $7.99!).  Coloring the foliage in gray adds some elegance as does the coordinating sentiment from the  Holiday Greetings die set. A fun take on these colors!

Diane Morales showcases the recently released puppy from the Puppy Heart stamp and coordinating die set. She places him on a circular card base using the Circle Frames die set. Those cute papers are from the A Dog's Life and the Autumn paper pads.  The extra little red hearts are so cute!

Amy Tollner is back with the ever-cute robots from the Love Bots stamp and coordinating die set. She places them on a slimline card base and adds a splattered, scallop-edge frame using the Slimline Frames & Portholes die set. Those trio of hearts were created using the Slimline Masking Hearts stencil set.  The sentiment is embossed on a little banner using the A7 Frames & Banners die set.  Don't you just love the red and yellow accents on Amy's bots?  Darling!

Claire Lamb is also showcasing the sweet puppy from the Puppy Heart stamp and coordinating die set. For her card, she uses the Petite Hearts stencil on the card base to create all those little red hearts. She adds her stitched frame (Frames & Flags die set) which has more little hearts! The little yellow bones and red hearts are darling touches to this heart-filled card!

Claire Lamb uses the little heart die (a lot) from the Heart Frames die set to create this rainbow card filled with hearts!  For her sentiment, she uses white embossing on black to make it look fabulous!  The sentiment is from the Thankful Thoughts stamp set. What a wonderful way to utilize your dies!

Debbie Owens uses three trucks from the Love Quarry stamp set for this sweet card just perfect for a little boy!  She places her vehicles on little squares made using the Slimline Frames & Windows die set, and those heart filled hills were made using paper from the Love & Chocolate paper pad and the Land Borders die set.  Super fun!

Claire Lamb creates the cutest Valentine's card using the Newton's Naptime stamp and die set. She creates a mile-high stack of blankets in shades of pinks and reds for her little princess kitty to sleep upon. She adds a red heart (Heart Frames die set) as well as the sentiment on a thought bubble (Speech Bubbles die set). Such a creative way to utilize this stamp set!

Debbie Owens showcases two darling robots from the Love Bots stamp set. She pairs them with designer papers from the Love & Meows paper pad. To create all her layers she uses several die sets. They include: Heart Frames die set, Framework die set, Frames & Flags die set, and the A7 Frames & Banners die set. A darling Valentine's card!

Diane Morales also uses the sweet robots from the Love Bots stamp and die set, but with a caffeinated twist. She adds a latte cup from the Pumpkin Latte stamp and die set for her boy bot to give to his girlfriend! She continues the coffee twist by pulling the sentiment from the Love Cafe stamp set. She uses two die sets. The Circle Frames die set is used for the card shape, and the Land Borders die set is utilized for the grass. Just love the coffee twist!

Amy Tollner is also inspired to use the Love Bots stamp and die set. She, though, pulls the kitty and dog bot images for her Valentine's card who are looking so cute on the red heart (Heart Frames die set). She creates a custom background by stamping the candy heart image (Candy Heart stamp set) repeatedly. She uses two additional die sets. For the postage-edging, she uses the Framework die set. For the little banner, she uses the A7 Frames & Banners die set. So cute!

Use the challenge theme, Love, with your Newton's Nook Designs Products!
