Claire Lamb creates a darling card with a column of red delicious apples.  These are from the Autumn Apples stamp and coordinating die set. She splatters some white on her kraft base and then adds a square using the Frames Squared die set for her sentiment with a fringe of red scallops using the Sky Borders die set.  What a fabulous card with all the apples!

Crystal Minkler is getting ready for the upcoming Christmas season.  She pulls papers from the Christmas Time paper pad and cuts many using dies from the Framework die set.  For her fun scene, she adds some snow using the Land Borders die set and a tree from the Forest Scene Builder die set. That cute red VW Bug is from the Destination Christmas stamp and coordinating die set.  Such a darling way to begin the season!

Danni Bindel is featuring a darling Halloween card using papers from the Halloween Meows paper pad that has been cut using the scallop-edged frame (Frames & Flags die set). She then uses the trio of pumpkin and kitty image from the Newton's Boo-tiful Night stamp and coordinating die set.  Don't you love how the paper and main image coordinate?  So cute!

Debbie Owens uses the challenge for a fun coffee-themed card. Her card features papers from the Coffee House Stories paper pad. She uses the Framework die set to give the paw print paper the postage-edging.  She pulls the card together using the little lady from the Sips & Stories stamp set who is enjoying a relaxing day with her ferry feline friend!  Super fun!

Amy Tollner features a super bright Halloween card using papers from the Halloween Meows and Halloween Woofs paper pads. She then adds those cute duo of puppies from the Happy Howl-oween stamp and coordinating die set. She adds her sentiment on a circle using the Circle Frames die set. Halloween cuteness!

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 challenge colors- Rusty Orange, Honey Yellow, Cornflower Blue, and Caramel Brown-with your NND products. 

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

Amy Tollner found a great way to make a non-seasonal card using the challenge colors. She makes this mini-slimline card by trimming down the scalloped frame created using the Slimline Frames & Portholes die set. She adds little paw prints using the Petite Paw Prints stencil. She then adds the tall stack of books with one tired feline. This set is the All Booked Up stamp and coordinating die set. At last, she die cuts the sentiment from the Newton's Book Club die set. Add a gift card to a book store, and you have the perfect present for your favorite bibliophile!


On Break. Will be back soon.

Crystal Minkler creates a darling peek-a-boo autumn card. She showcases two papers from the Autumn paper pad and uses the Land Borders die set to create the wavy edges. She then uses dies from the Circle Frames die set to create the kraft frame. The fun part is how she adds the mug of chocolaty bliss on the inside of the card! That cute mug is part of the Cup of Cocoa stamp set. What a perfect way to enjoy a cold, chilly autumn day!



Danni Bindel adds a trio of blue baskets from the Fall Harvest stamp and coordinating die set on a slimline card base that uses the Slimline Frames & Windows die set for the trio of windows. Behind her autumn baskets is the yellow polka dotted paper from the Autumn paper pad. Don't those sweet kitties look darling among all those pumpkins?

Debbie Owens uses lots of dies sets to create her autumn card. She uses a combination of dies from the Frames & Flags and the Framework die sets to create her scallop-edged layers. She adds a bit of patterned paper from the Autumn paper pad and adds a bunch of autumn leaves using the Autumn Leaves die set. She adds a stamped sentiment from the Autumn Newton stamp set on a blue banner. A great way to maximize all those die sets!

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along!  Remember, you have until this Friday, October 27,  2023 to enter. There's a prize involved too, so don't delay - see more inspiration on our Inky Paws Challenge here!

Amy Tollner designs a perfect autumn card with all those colorful leaves falling in her background. She used the Falling Leaves stencil and the Frames & Flags die set for her gorgeous background. She then adds the darling Newton peeking behind his blue milk can. This image is from the Paw-tumn Newton Stamp and coordinating die set. Fabulously done!

Claire Lamb 

On a short break.  Will be back soon. 

Crystal Minkler uses the challenge colors for an autumn card with a splash of pumpkin-spiced coffee. For her background, she combines papers from the Autumn paper pad and uses several dies from the Framework die set and the Land Borders die set. Her star attraction is the lady from the Pumpkin Latte stamp and coordinating die set. I just love her blue jacket with all the autumn colors!

Danni Bindel was also inspired to use the Autumn paper pad for her background of leaves. She uses the Frames & Flags die set and the Frames Squared die set to create her different layers. She is featuring the Fall Friends stamp and coordinating die set. Those sweet fur babies look like they are enjoying a nice nap! Nicely done, Ms. Danni!

Like Amy, Debbie Owens was inspired to showcase the Paw-tumn Newton stamp set. She opted to use the Serene Stripes stencil to create her background which she cut using the scallop-edged frame from the Framework die set. She pulls a thankful sentiment from the Autumn Newton stamp set stamped on a banner (Frames & Flags die set). Isn't it fun to see the same image interpreted differently using the same colors? So fun!

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

Debbie Owens creates a spooky square card using the Frames Squared die set. On a yellow background, she adds her background using the Spooky Line Street stencil. She then adds a shimmering puppy ghost from the Ghostly Good Times stamp set. The black and yellow paper from the Halloween Time paper pad adds to the fun as do the little touches of fuchsia!



Amy Tollner's candy-filled card is any trick-or-treaters' dream! That candy filled background comes from the Halloween Woofs Paper Pad. She adds a trio of trick-or-treaters from the Halloween Trio Stamp and coordinating die set. An added Jack-o-lantern bucket from the Count Newton Stamp and coordinating die set - pumpkin pail adds to the fun. The sentiment is stamped on a banner from the Banner Trio Die Set. Amy also uses the postage-edge frame from the Framework Die Set.



Claire Lamb uses shades of teal to make the cutest evening setting for her little ghosts! She uses the Spooky Line Street stencil to add the stars and the mini ghosts in the background. She then adds the kitty and puppy ghosts from the Ghostly Good Times stamp and die set. Who knew that teal would look so spooky? Nicely done, Crystal!


Crystal Minkler's card is so cute with ALL the pumpkins! Crystal pulls pumpkin papers from the Halloween Meows paper pad and matches with the little kitty from the Newton's Perfect Pumpkin stamp set. She adds a sentiment from the Spiderweb Oval stamp set as well as some bats using the Witchy Newton die set. A little vellum oval frames (Oval Frames die set) frames the sweet kitty witch! Adorable!



Danni Bindel creates a darling card featuring the perfect paper from the Halloween Time paper pad with the little witch from the Brooms & Boos stamp and coordinating die set. The little witch looks darling with the cauldron and different potions in the paper. To break up the paper, Danni uses one of the dies from the Framework die set. Fabulous combination!!
