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 above sketch.


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

Just because by Debbie features A7 Frames & Banners, Loads of Blooms, Tulips, Heartfelt Blooms, Springtime, and Banner Trio by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #springcards, #floralcards, #cardmaking
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!



Get well soon by Diane features Lovely Blooms, A7 Frames & Banners, Springtime, and Heartfelt Essentials by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #springcards, #cardmaking, #getwellcards
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!



Life is better with sprinkles by Amy features Newton's Donut, Love & Chocolate, and A7 Frames & Banners; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #catcards, #donutcards, #cardmaking
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!



Reading makes ruff days better by Claire features A7 Frames & Banners, All Booked Up, and Banner Trio by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #bookcards, #catcards, #readingcards, #dogcards, #cardmaking
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!



Kit-tea cat by Crystal features Newton's Mug, Circle Frames, and Coffee House Stories by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #teacards, #catcards, #cardmaking 
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!

Debbie's card features Newton's Movie Night, Popcorn, and A7 Frames & Banners by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #catcards, #moviecards, #cardmaking
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!



Sending piles of birthday wishes by Diane features A7 Frames & Banners, Birthday Party, Oval Frames, and Sky High Celebration by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #birthdaycards, #cardmaking, #dogcards, #catcards
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!



Chocolate is best on days that end in y by Amy features Love & Chocolate (stamp, die, & paper pad) and A7 Frames & Banners by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #chocolatecards, #newtonsnook, #candycards, #cardmaking
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!



Cover yourself in happiness by Claire features Never Enough Cats, Frames & Flags, and Love & Meows by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #catcards, #cardmaking
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!



Happy purr-day by Crystal features Newton's Birthday Balloons, Clouds, and Love & Woofs by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #cardmaking, #newtonsnook, birthdaycard, #catcards
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!
