Claire's FAVE

Teri Kellum is back as Claire's favorite!  Again the coffee-theme with the orange caffeinated cat is too cute!  Teri uses the Newton Loves Coffee stamp and coordinating die set and the Coffee House Stories paper pad to make this delightful card!

Crystal's FAVE

Becky's vibrant colors really caught Crystal's eye!  The fun striped paper and bright rectangles make a  wonderful background for the bunnies from the Bitty Bunnies and the the Hop into Spring stamp set. The little flowers on the bunnies'ears are so cute!

Debbie's FAVE

Dayna A.'s taco cat card won over Deb's belly...um...I mean eye! She uses the little taco image from the Newton Loves Tacos stamp and the flowers from the Cultivates Cacti stamp set to create some custom pattern paper. A brilliant way to use those little stamps in your sets.  Then there's her taco-lovin' kitty from the Newton Loves Tacos stamp and coordinating die set.  So fun and festive!

Diane's FAVE

The CAS style of Dandi93's card stood out to Diane.  On a shimmery lavender card base, she adds four panels complete with birthday elements from the Newton's Christmas Cuddles (retired) stamp set for the row of gifts, the Winston's Birthday stamp set (retired) for the balloon, and the Newton's Birthday Bash stamp set for kitty, sentiment, and party hat. Such a cute card and combination of birthday images!

Amy's FAVE

Kathy K.'s water-lovin' puppies won over Amy's heart!  Her pretty, water-color ocean background is a perfect setting for the little corgis from the Corgi Beach stamp and coordinating die set.  A fun summer take using the Inky Paws sketch!  (Now if summer will only arrive!)

Inky Paws Challenge #195 Reminder

   

Don't forget - 
There's still time to play along with our 

latest Inky Paws Challenge!

  

Have you had a chance to make a card for our latest Inky Paws Challenge? 

Here's a refresher.

Use your NND products with the sketch above. 

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

Claire Lamb's sandy background created using inks and the Land Borders die set will have you yearning for a road trip of your own!  She uses two of the beach-bound vehicles from the Beach Bound stamp and coordinating die set.  A fabulous and creative way to use the current IPC sketch!

Crystal O. Minkler uses papers from the Spring Blooms paper pad for her background.  Riding through those beautiful daisies is one of the ladies from the Loads of Blooms stamp and coordinating die set. She places the little lady on a vellum, scallop-edged circle (Circle Frames die set). Don't you love how she adds the clouds and sun to her spring scene using the Sky Scene Builder die set?  

Debbie Owens takes a break from spring and starts on her Halloween cards!  For her spookily cute card, she uses two of the images from the Franken-Newton stamp set.  She pulls additional scary elements

 from the Count Newton stamp set (Jack-o-lantern bucket, big tombstone), the Spiderweb Oval stamp set (spider), and the Spooky Street stamp set (haunted house and little tombstone).  She places all the elements on papers from the Halloween Meows paper pad and adds a sentiment from the Spooky Roundabout stamp set.  Spook-tacularly cute!

Diane Morales creates a mini slimline card measuring 3 1/2" x 6 1/4", and it's packed with spring cuteness! She uses papers from the Spring Blooms paper pad which pair wonderfully with the lambs from the Baa stamp and coordinating die set.  Behind those lambs is a little grass to nibble on which was created using the Land Borders die set.  Not sure how or where to add your sentiment?  Use Diane's idea of a speech bubble which was created using the Speech Bubbles die set.  A super fun, spring card!

Amy Tollner goes with a birthday theme featuring two of our darling cats from the Newton Loves Tacos stamp and coordinating die set!  Aren't they just too cute?  She pulls papers from the Birthday Party paper pad giving her card a fun, fabulous, fiesta vibe!  

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along!  Remember, you have until this Friday,  April 14, 2023 to enter. There's a prize involved too, so don't delay - see more inspiration on our Inky Paws Challenge here!

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

Amy Tollner's llama in her lavender shades definitely brings a smile!  This sweet llama is from the Lovable Llamas stamp and coordinating die set. Amy uses the Serene Stripes stencil to create her pastel background which has been cut using the scallop-edge frame die from the Frames & Flags die set. She incorporates a vellum oval (Oval Frames die set) and a rounded banner (Banner Trio die set) which she embosses the sentiment.  A spectacular way to use the challenge colors!

Claire Lamb's sky subtly uses the challenge colors that is perfect for her sweet lambs on their speckled clouds!  Those lambs are from the Baa stamps and coordinating die set, and her clouds were created usign the Sky Borders die set.  Precious!

Crystal O. Minkler uses the challenge colors on this bold, beautiful card filled with butterflies!  She uses the Butterflies stencil set for her background.

Debbie Owens uses the colors for her square-shaped Easter card. She uses the Frames Squared die set for the card base and center panel. She then stamps two tulips (Tulips stamp set) and colors one in lavender and one in pink.  She places them behind the cute bunny and his sign from the Hoppy Greetings stamp set. Such a cute scene!

Diane Morales creates the cutest slimline card using the scallop-edge frame die from the Slimline Frames & Portholes die set. She adds a white fence (Fence die set) which looks fabulous against her pink-speckled background.  Her star attraction is the sweet, tan kitty from the Newton's Easter Basket stamp and die set.
