Diane's FAVE

Avra's card captured Diane's eye with its clean and simple design packed with a lot of spring beauty!  Avra uses the Floral Roundabout stamp set with the green striped paper from the Springtime paper pad for her beautiful card!

Amy's FAVE

Julie S.'s card is also Amy's favorite pick!  Julie's sweet scene with the critters from the retiring Woodland Picnic stamp and coordinating die set make for a delightful spring card! So cleanly and brightly done!

Claire's FAVE

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!

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!

Diane Morales' butterfly-filled card is just precious! Her cute kitten is from the Captivated Kittens stamp and coordinating die set, and he looks so cute with the butterfly paper from the Springtime paper pad. For even more fluttering fun, she adds butterflies using the Gnome Garden stamp and coordinating die set. Also tucked in there is an scallop-edged oval using the Oval Frames die set. Sure hope this little guy catches one of those cute butterflies!

Amy Tollner fills her background with beautiful pink blooms using the retiring Bold Blooms stencil which she cuts using the scallop-edged frame from the A7 Frames & Banners die set. She breaks up her floral background with a three-panel frame and places all the sweet critters from the retiring Woodland Spring stamp and coordinating die set around the edges. She adds some extra flowers and some bling making this an absolutely darling spring card!

Claire Lamb's card will have you yearning for a nice, warm, sunny spring day to take a relaxing walk with your puppies! Her rays of sunshine were made using the Sunscape Stencil, and the quintet of puppies are from the Walking Woofs stamp set. With tons of masking, Claire makes a floral path using the flowers from the Cycling Friends stamp set. Such a darling and happy card!

Crystal Minkler gives us the flip side of spring--those wonderful spring showers that pave the way for the flowers! She pulls the cloudy paper from the Springtime paper pad and continues with some clouds on her postage-edged frame layer (Framework die set) using the Petite Clouds stencil. The best part of April showers? Getting to wear fashionable rain boots, and her lavender ones are so, so cute! This darling calico kitty and ducky are from the Newton's Rain Boots stamp set and coordinating die set. Dare I say, "Bring on the rain!" LOL

Debbie Owens also showcases the darling kitty and ducky from the Newton's Rain Boots stamp set. Unlike Claire's pretty lavender rain boots, Deb goes for some bold red ones, which are just as cute! Deb uses scraps from the Springtime paper pad to create the fun background which she die cuts using the scallop-edged die from the Framework die set. She stamps her sentiment pulled from the Floral Roundabout stamp set on a banner (Banner Trio die set). A fun, colorful way to celebrate spring!

Here's a refresher.

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

Debbie Owens' card gives us a sneak peek of spring with the use of the tulip paper from Springtime paper pad and the tulip-laden lady from the Loads of Blooms stamp set. She uses dies from the A7 Frames & Banners, the Framework, and the Banner Trio die sets to create the different layers.  On the banner, she stamps a sentiment from the Heartfelt Blooms stamp set and adds a butterfly from the Tulips stamp set. So fresh and pretty!

Diane Morales also brings a spring-filled card just right for wishing someone to get well soon.  She uses flowers and the jar from the retiring Lovely Blooms stamp and coordinating die set. She pulls plaid paper from the Springtime paper pad. She uses the A7 Frames & Banners die set, and uses a sentiment from the Heartfelt Essentials stamp set. So beautiful!

Amy Tollner's card will have you zipping to your local doughnut shop for a sweet treat! She makes an A7 card using the  A7 Frames & Banners die set. Then she combines the doughnut paper from the Love & Chocolate paper pad with the kitty with his overly-large treat from the Newton's Donut stamp and coordinating die set.  Don't you love how Amy adds texture to her center panel by lightly stamping sprinkles!  So yummy!

Claire Lamb's card is filled with rainbow colors!  She also creates an A7 card using the A7 Frames & Banners die set. For her center panel, she stamps pawprints and hearts in various colors. For her other panels she uses the puppy and the kitty image from the  All Booked Up stamp and coordinating die set.  Don't they look darling on their pile of books. She places her sentiment on a banner using the Banner Trio die set.  Don't you love the colorfulness!

 

Crystal O. Minkler showcases the kitty from the Newton's Mug stamp and coordinating die set.  Check out this video to see the wobble element in action! She adds a heart using the Circle Frames die set.  She coordinates everything by using papers from the Coffee House Stories paper pad.  Too cute!

This week the Inky Paws team uses completely different stamp sets to provide you with lots of inspiration for this fun sketch!

Debbie Owens uses the A7 Frames & Banners die set to create this fun card featuring our movie-goin' trio from the Newton's Movie Night stamp and coordinating die set.  She uses the Popcorn stencil to add some buttery popcorn in the background.  The red, black, yellow color combination looks so good together!

Diane Morales also uses the A7 Frames & Banners die set to create her card base.  Diane, though, goes with a birthday theme.  She pulls a trio of papers from the  Birthday Party paper pad.  (Don't you love how each paper has little presents everywhere?!)  She continues the "presents" theme by adding a very tall stack of presents complete with some fur balls from the Sky High Celebration stamp and coordinating die set.  She adds an oval (Oval Frames dies set) complete with the perfect sentiment!

Amy Tollner, too, uses the A7 Frames & Banners die set for her card base.  For her card, Amy is showcasing scrumptious chocolates from the Love & Chocolate stamp and coordinating die set as well as the Love & Chocolate paper pad.  Her silver glitter frame, embossing, and sequins add a nice touch of elegance to these delectable treats!

Claire Lamb's card will bring a smile to any feline lover's face!  This pile up of feline fur babies from the Never Enough Cats stamp and coordinating die set is set atop red polka dotted paper from the Love & Meows paper pad.  The black stripes add a nice contrast.  Claire also uses the Frames & Flags die set to make her layers.  Oh, to be so lucky to own so many furry friends!

Crystal Minkler is also showcasing a sweet feline.  Her darling kitty is from the Newton's Birthday Balloons stamp set, and he is looking quite content as he soars through those fluffy clouds (Clouds stencil).  Crystal pulls coordinating papers from the Love & Woofs paper pad.  Love how she pulls the colors from the papers to shade her balloons!
