Sue T. is all about sharks with this fun, bold card in greens and blues! Creating textured waves using the Waves stencil, Sue stamps the image from the  Shark Frenzy stamp set and cuts it into a circle using the Circle Frames die set. She pulls another shark from the Shark Bites stamp and coordinating die set for her second circular element. She finishes with a the shark-y sentiment and a bit of twine.  So fun!

Amy Tollner gets us ready for some spring showers using the Newton's Rainy Day stamp and coordinating die set for her central element. On her large, stitched circle (Circle Frames die set), she adds some drops of rain using the Raindrops stencil. In the background, she adds paper from the Love & Meows paper pad. A delightful spring card!

Claire Lamb has our beloved Newton from the retiring Cosmic Newton stamp set blasting off amid some puffy clouds (Sky Borders die set) into a glorious-looking Milky Way.  This card is definitely out of this world!

 Debbie Owens shares a card filled with kitten cuteness!  She features the playful kitten from the Newton Unwinds stamp set atop a fun background made using papers from the  Love & Meows paper pad and teal scallops using the Sky Borders die set. She wraps twine around, then layers a scalloped circle (Circle Frames die set) stamped with the image from the Heartfelt Meows stamp set. She finishes with a little red heart. Darling!

Diane Morales uses the scallop-edged die from the A7 Frames & Banners die set to create her pattern paper card base. She adds a stitched circle (Circle Frames die set) with flowers subtly stamped in the background with the sweet gnome from the Gnome Garden stamp set enjoying nature on his mushroom!

Priscilla Joseph uses the Tumbling Hearts stencil to create a graphic background for the typewriter from the My Type stamp set. She coordinates a pattern paper that looks like it's been type written. The little piece of paper with 'You're just my type" typed on it looks like it's been pulled from the machine! So cute!

Inky Paws Challenge #166 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'a a refresher.

Create a project using hearts!

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

Debbie Owens goes a bit rogue from her counterparts and uses some nontraditional Valentine colors for her punny card.  She uses the newly released A7 Frames & Banners die set to make her fuchsia scalloped layer and adheres it to her black card base. She then uses the Gingham stencil in a dark gray for her 'place setting'. She die cuts two hearts( Heart Frames die set) and shades them in gray and fuchsia. Her main entree...I mean attraction is the little kitten from the Knead Kittens stamp set with his jelly jar sidekick from the Love Bites stamp set. A bit of Glossy Accents adds a bit of dimension and shine to her jam!  

Bon appétit

Diane Morales' card is brimming with hearts!  Beginning with the Circle Frames die set, she creates her shaped card base. Then adds a layer of hearts from the Love and Meows paper pad. She continues by adding more hearts using the Heart Frames die set. On a wavy black banner (A7 Frames & Banners die set) she heat embosses the sentiment from the Love Bots stamp set.  Heart overload, and loving it!

Sue T. is featuring this darling duo from the Newton's Sweetheart stamp and die set. Don't you love how their tails form a heart?  {sigh} She then adds a vellum heart die cut from the Heart Frames die set.  All of this is atop an ombre heart strip created using the Bokeh Hearts stencil.  Definitely romance in the air!

Amy Tollner's card uses the Heartfelt Love stamp which always reminds me of a box of chocolate!  She embosses the image in white on her ombre' heart die which was cut using the scallop-edged die from the Heart Frames die set. She sets this atop an ombre' bed of hearts using the newly released Petite Hearts stencil and die cut using the scalllop-edged die from the A7 Frames & Banners die set.  Her embossed sentiment has been die cut using the round-edged die from the Banner Trio die set.  Pretty in pinks, indeed!

Claire Lamb goes all out with a super-sized shaker card using the A7 Frames & Banners die set.  How fun is this?  Behind all those sparkly sequins, you'll spy lots of hearts die cut using various dies from the Heart Frames die set.  Atop a vellum heart, she has added a trio of black mini banners with sentiments from the Heartfelt Blooms stamp set. Anyone else want to give this card a little shake?

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along!  Remember, you have until this Friday, February 11, 2022 to enter. There's a prize involved too, so don't delay - see more inspiration on our Inky Paws Challenge here!
