Here's some inspiration!

Need to get inspired? See what our Inspiration Team created with this challenge! 

Sue T. is showcasing those beautiful sunflowers from the darling Paw-tumn Newton stamp and die set. She keeps the card bright using the yellow leaves paper from the Autumn paper pad and creates the tag using the tag die from the Fancy Edges Tag die set. She uses the plaid paper for her trio of banners which gives her card a sweet country charm.  Her sentiment comes from the Autumn Mice stamp set.  Lovely!

Amy Tollner's card is filled with the cutest Jack-o-lanterns ever!  Her background paper is from the  Halloween Meows paper pad.  Doesn't it work splendidly with the Jack-o-lantern images from the Newton's Boo-tiful Night stamp and coordinating die set. She distresses a painted-splattered tag cut using the Fancy Edges Tag die set.  Her banners and the scallop-edged frame were created using the Frames & Flags die set.  A super cute Halloween card!

Claire Lamb shows us how the sketch can be used to whip up the cutest birthday card!  Her sweet CAS card has light blue banners using the Banner Trio die set.  Instead of an actual tag, Claire uses the image from the Newton's Birthday Trio stamp and the coordinating die set. Don't you love how she shaded this trio of Siamese kitties?  To get that stitching around the center panel, Claire uses the  Frames & Flags die set and trims off the scallops.  The sentiment is from the Heartfelt Blooms stamp set. Sweetness!

It's harvest time over on Debbie Owens's card! Her card is filled with pumpkins, gourds, and squashes! She pulls paper from the Autumn paper pad and creates her background frame using the Framework die set. She then uses the Fancy Edges Tag die set to create her golden tag on which she places her kitty image from the Autumn Newton stamp set. She adds some extra pumpkins and leaves using images from the Pumpkin Latte stamp set. Her banners were created using the Frames & Flags die set using coordinating papers from the Autumn paper pad. A harvest paradise!

Diane Morales is showcasing some scary critters from the Spooky Skeletons stamp and coordinating die set. She places them on tag using the Bookmark die set. Her trio of bright banners were created using the A7 Frames & Banners die set. To give her card a bright, fun Halloween feel, she pulls the candy paper from the Halloween Meows paper pad. Just love the playfulness of this card!

Diane's FAVE

Tracy Grauer  is not only our randomly chosen winner of the $20 store credit, but she is also Diane's fave! Her black background and scallop-edged oval (Oval Frames die set) add a nice contrast to the orange gingham paper pulled from the Autumn paper pad.  Inside her center oval is the beautifully colored image from the Autumn Oval stamp set. The added twine and pearls add nice touches of texture!  So lovely!

Sue's FAVE

Kristi uses the Autumn Leaves die set in a beautiful way.  With a black background, she inlays different leaves in the challenge colors. She then pulls a sentiment from the retired Shades of Autumn stamp set.  The overall effect is so bold and very stunning!

Amy's FAVE

Amy Gross showcases lots of bones in her fabulous card!  She uses all the skeletal images from the Spooky Skeletons stamp set to create her background.  She then stamps the little pumpkin images from the same set in orange and the stars in yellow!  Fabulously done, Amy!

Claire's FAVE

Andrea creates this lovely card that has a nice cozy, rustic feel.  She showcases the darling kitten (colored like Andrea's very own fur baby) from the Newton's Crate stamp and coordinating die set. She then adds paper with a linen pattern that is distressed and stamped with stitching.  The brown gingham paper continues the coziness of this charming card!

Debbie's FAVE

KT Fit Kitty shows off her creative thinking with this very non-traditional Christmas card!  She embosses snowflakes on her cream card base, then adds a pretty pattern paper in the challenge colors. She adds that sweet lamb from the Fleece Navidad stamp and die set on an orange ornament using the Ornament Shaker die set. The black bow was cut using the Pines & Holly die set. For her black element, she embosses the sentiment on a little banner.  So lovely!

Inky Paws Challenge #182 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 colors:

Orange, Green, Black, & Cream.

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

Diane Morales uses a trio of the colors to make a striped background die cut using the Frames & Flags die set. She then stamps the beautiful pumpkins from the Autumn Oval stamp set which she frames with a white scallop oval using the Oval Frames die set. Her bold, crisp style is spectacular!

Sue T. uses the challenge colors in a spook-tacular way! She embosses bats on her black card stock (Flying Bats stencil) which she cuts using the postage-edge frame from the Framework die set. She die cuts a circle and has Jack-o-lanterns peeking through using the Jack-o-Lantern stencil. Enjoying all of the Halloween fun is Newton from the Newton's Perfect Pumpkin stamp and die set. She uses a sentiment from the Newton's Boo-tiful Night stamp set stamped on a speech bubble using the Speech Bubbles die set. The added white stars and moons on Newton's hat look amazing!

Hope you're not afraid of spiders because Amy Tollner's card is filled with them! Amy uses spidery paper from the Halloween Meows paper pad and die cut using the postage-edge frame from the Framework die set. She continues the spidery theme using the Spiderweb Oval stamp set die cut using the scallop frame from the Oval Frames die set. Her very brave puppy is from the Pug-kin stamp and die set. Oh, in case you missed it, there's a white spider (Newton's Perfect Pumpkin stamp set) dangling from the web! Eeek!

Claire Lamb is back with one of her amazing backgrounds!!! This one features a very large and spooky full moon! Yikes! She makes this amazing moon using the Circle Frames die set to create a mask for it. She uses greens to make the night sky and the Land Borders die set to make the grass. And who is out and about on such a scary night? Our very own Franken-Newton from the Franken-Newton stamp and die set. Fantastically scary!

To calm your nerves from all that scariness is Debbie Owens with a unique take on the challenge colors. Deb pulls the sweet gnome from the Gnome Garden stamp set and sets him among black-gingham hills and green grass using the Land Borders and Sea Borders die sets. She cuts a scalloped oval from the card base (Oval Frames die set) and has green puffy clouds in the background (Clouds stencil). Great way to showcase these fun colors!

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along!  Remember, you have until this Friday, September 23, 2022 to enter. There's a prize involved too, so don't delay - see more inspiration on our Inky Paws Challenge here!

Color Challenge.

Are you ready to play along and get your paws inky? Make sure you check the challenge rules page before you link up your project. 

Here's some inspiration from the IPC Design Team:

Diane Morales uses the challenge colors for this sweet, autumn scene.  Using the Frames Squared die set, Diane makes a scallop-square card base. She then uses a plaid paper from the Autumn paper pad for her sky and makes her grass using the Land Borders die set.  Enjoying this nice autumn day is one of the darling mice from the Autumn Mice stamp and die set. So cute!

Sue T. opts to use the challenge colors for a gorgeous floral card. She uses the large speech bubble die (Speech Bubbles die set) to make her black element and adds beautiful flowers using images from the Beautiful Blossoms stamp and die set. On her cream card base, she stamps "Be Thankful" using a sentiment from the Autumn Newton stamp set.  Beautiful!

Amy Tollner was inspired to use the colors for this bright, not-too-spooky Halloween card! She colors the kitty witch's boot (Witchy Newton stamp and die set) in a bright green and places it on a vellum oval (Oval Frames die set).  She pulls the batty paper from the Halloween Woofs paper pad cut using the scallop-edged frame die (Frames & Flags die set).  She heat embosses the white sentiment (Spooky Roundabout stamp set) on a black banner (Banner Trio die set).  She finishes it off with a couple of spooky bats (Halloween Trio Die set).  Fab(boo)lous!

Claire Lamb is showcasing her incredible ability to create spook-tacular backgrounds! She adds some trees (Forest Scene Builder die set) to her full-moon scene and uses the Land Borders die set to create her ground. Two critters decked out in their costumes from the Halloween Pile stamp and die set bravely walk through the scene escorted by a trio of bats. To finish off her card, Claire pulls a sentiment from the Spiderweb Oval stamp set. 

 Debbie Owens' Halloween card looks like it's set in a hallway manor. She creates her scene using the green-striped wallpaper from the Halloween Meows paper pad. Deb cuts the paper using the postage-edge die from the Framework die set. Look at the portrait of the Bride of Franken-Newton (Franken-Newton stamp set) in her spooky frame (Creepy Cameos retiring stamp set, which is on sale for $4.99!). Enjoying that portrait is our very own Franken-Newton as he shambles down the hallway!  So clever!

Use the colors-Orange, Green, Black, & Cream.

Debbie's FAVE

Christy Roberts' choice of Newton in a pile of leaves from the Autumn Harvest stamp and die set looks so cute with the colorful leaf paper from the Autumn paper pad tucked behind him. Christy uses the dies from the Frames & Flags die set to create her layers and banner.  A delightful card to celebrate autumn!

Diane's FAVE

Avra distresses a beautiful autumn background for her sweet mouse from the Garden Mice stamp and die set. She frames her mouse with an orange scallop-edged oval frame using the Oval Frames die set. She sprinkles on some golden sprinkles to finish her pretty card!

Sue's FAVE

Meghan features the cutest raccoon and squirrel from the  Harvest Tails (retired) stamp and die set. Her sweet critters are enjoying some pumpkins and squash inside their brown oval frame (Oval Frames die set). Love the scallop-edged card base created using the A7 Frame  & Banners Die. Happy fall, indeed!

Amy's FAVE

Priscilla Joseph's embossed background in those beautiful autumn colors really is eye catching and works wonderfully with the Fall Friends stamp and die set.  Don't those critters look contented as they take an afternoon nap?  She places a leaf using the Autumn Leaves die set next to her sentiment to finish off her lovely card. 

Claire's FAVE

Tracie C. showcases the Autumn Oval stamp set as a shaker card by cutting out the center of the oval.  What a great idea!  She then showcases her autumn pumpkins and leaves with a brown patterned oval frame using the Oval Frames die set and paper from the Autumn paper pad. Using the same pad of paper, she pulls a plaid paper that looks spectacular!

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 the theme, Fall, with your NND products!

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

 Diane Morales uses the Circle Frames die set to create her circular card packed full of cucurbits. She pairs the squash & pumpkin paper (Autumn paper pad) with Newton in his crate full of pumpkins (Newton's Crate stamp and die set). She scatters extra pumpkins around the crate (Paw-tumn Newton stamp and die set).  Purr-fectly done, Diane!

Sue T.'s CAS autumn card showcases the cute little mouse from the Autumn Mice stamp and die set. She creates a little pumpkin patch behind him using the newly released Jack-o-Lantern stencil set. Her brown, plaid Washi tape is combined with a strip of leaf paper from the Autumn paper pad. She pulls the sentiment from the Fall Roundabout stamp set to complete her darling fall card!

Amy Tollner combines the Signs of Fall stamp and die set with the Pumpkin Latte stamp and die set to create her autumn card that is spectacularly colored! She uses the Falling Leaves stencil in shades of autumn to create her background that is die cut using the scallop-edged frame from the Frames & Flags die set. She stamps her sentiment (Fall Roundabout stamp set) on a brown banner (Banner Trio die set).  Don't you love all the shades of autumn on Amy's card?

Claire Lamb designs a twilight background for her vintage truck from the Harvest Haul stamp and die set.  She uses the Oval Frames die set to create the country road and the scallop-edged square frame from the Frames Squared die set. Can't you just imagine the leaves scattering about as the truck cruises home after a fun day in the fields?

 

 From field to tummy, Debbie Owens' card is packed full of pumpkin cuteness! After harvesting a crate of pumpkins (Newton's Crate stamp set), Newton (Newton's Thanksgiving stamp set) appears to have enjoyed the by-products of his hard work- pumpkin pie and a cup of pumpkin-spiced coffee (Newton Loves Coffee stamp set). Deb uses the Pumpkin Latte stamp set for the sentiment and extra pumpkins.  In addition, she uses the Circle Frames die set to cut the scalloped plaid circle (Autumn paper pad) and adds yellow leaves (Falling Leaves stencil) to the background. Hope Newton didn't get a tummy ache!

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along!  Remember, you have until this Friday, September 9, 2022 to enter. There's a prize involved too, so don't delay - see more inspiration on our Inky Paws Challenge here!
