Here's a refresher.

Use your NND products with the theme--Love

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

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!

Diane Morales's card will have your taste buds yearning for one of those scrumptious strawberries!  To make this amazing card, she uses the Heart Frames die set for her card base. She adds the pink striped paper from the Love & Chocolate paper pad, and those strawberries are from the Love & Chocolate stamp and die set.  Yum!

Amy Tollner's card showcases the smitten kittens sharing a bottle of milk from the Newton's Sweetheart stamp and the coordinating die set. She uses the Frames Squared die set to create her red card base, and the Heart Frames die set for her red heart.  She uses the coordinating paper from the Love & Meows paper pad.  So cute!

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along!  Remember, you have until this Friday, February 3, 2023 to enter. There's a prize involved too, so don't delay - see more inspiration on our Inky Paws Challenge here!

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

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!

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

Amy Tollner designs a bright and cheerful card perfect for the happily, married couple!  Her card combines papers from the  Love & Meows paper pad as well as dies from the Heart Frames and the Frames & Flags die sets.  Her star attraction is that darling teal card from the Destination Love stamp and die set with the happy couple inside!  

 

Claire Lamb uses the squiggly paper from the A Cat's Life paper pad to set the scene for her playful card. Pulling the chartreuse color from the paper, Claire makes her heart (Heart Frames die set) and mini banners (A7 Frames & Banners die set). Her main attraction are all those playful kittens from the Heartfelt Meows stamp set. Don't you want to take them all home?

Debbie Owens uses the kitty with his tower cake as her "heart" element of the sketch.  This cute kitty is from the Newton Loves Cake stamp set. She continues with papers from the Birthday Party paper pad and uses the Frames & Flags die set to make the scallop-edges to all her layers.  For her sentiment, she stamps it on a speech bubble using the Speech Bubbles die set.  Happy birthday, indeed!

Diane Morales uses the A Cat's Life paper pad to create an adorable Valentine's card!  She pulls the lovely feline couple from the Newton's Sweetheart stamp and die set and places them on the teal heart( Heart Frames die set).  Don't you love the little heart next to the sentiment?

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

Amy Tollner pairs Franken-Newton and his bride from the Franken-Newton stamp and die set with papers from the Love & Meows paper pad. What a wonderful marriage of products!  To finish her card, Amy uses dies from the Heart Frames and the Frames & Flags die sets.  So much cuteness!

Claire Lamb is bringing us some brightly colored blooms using the Flower Trio die set.  She embosses sentiments from the Heartfelt Blooms stamp set onto purple banners that were die cut using the Banner Trio die set. These bright colors are sure to brighten up anyone's day!

Debbie Owens changes the orientation of the sketch for her caffeinated card.  She sparingly colors the image from the Caffeinated Cats stamp set and adds banners in shades of brown. On her heart element, she stamps the sentiment and coffee-themed accents using images from the Time for Coffee stamp set. Who could resist this cat & coffee card?

Like teammate Amy, Diane Morales is inspired to use the Franken-Newton stamp and die set for this frighteningly adorable card! Diane also uses the Love & Meows paper pad along with the blue-striped paper from the Meowy Christmas paper pad.  The scallop-edged heart was created using the Heart Frames die set.  Adorable!
