Inky Paws Challenge #243 Week 1

 

Inky Paws Challenge

Week 1 Inspiration

Hope you will be inspired by this fabulous sketch with your Newton's Nook Designs' products!

You have from Monday, August 4, 2025 to Friday, August 29, 2025 (Midnight, CST) to play along. Each DT member will pick a favorite project to showcase, AND one RANDOM entry will win a $20 store credit to Newton's Nook Design online shop!  

For my card, I used the Card Layout 4 die with papers from the  Autumn Meows paper pad. I then stamped, colored with Copic markers, and added Glossy Accents to the apple from the Autumn Apples stamp set.  I then stamped the sentiment from the same stamps set and adhered.  A super simple card packed with lots of autumn fun!  Now it's your turn to use the sketch! Can't wait to see your creations!

I am loving the newly released birthday products at Newton's Nook Designs! I am also loving how you can make multiple cards using only a few sheets of paper using the Card Layout 4 Die. The pattern papers are from the Birthday Time paper pad. (They are so cute!) Once I've adhered all the "puzzle" pieces, I stamped and colored the images using Copic markers. These images are from the  Cat Birthday Party, Dog Birthday Party, and Birthday Postage Sampler stamp. I used the Birthday Greetings Hot Foil Plate for the sentiments. 

I hope you will be inspired to use the challenge colors.

4 Papers + 1 Die = 4 Cute Holiday Cards

I have 4 holiday cards to share on this post using only 4 pieces of designer papers

 with only 1 layout die. With so many Christmas in July challenges, I'm entering cards in several different ones as noted below each card.

Neglected Stuff Challenge-July

I've had the Holiday Home stamp set since 2021, but haven't used it in ages.  

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 I used 3 designer papers from Miss Kate's Gingerbread Lane paper pad with the Kraft paper with trees from the DCWV The Winter in the Woods stack. I cut each paper using the Newton's Nook Designs newly released Card Layout 4 die. Then I set the 4 frames in front of me and began mixing the different "puzzle" pieces in the frame. I have a bag of precut NND holiday images, so I started selecting images as I rearranged the different patterns in each frame. Once I decided on what each panel will look like, I began adhering the panels together. I adhered each panel to a cream card stock base. I then colored the images using similar colors from the paper. It was important to me that each card have a unique look. So I pulled different dies for the sentiments and arranged them differently on each card. I used some 3D tape to add dimension. And like that....I have 4 darling cards!

Inky Paws Challenge

Week 3 Inspiration

Cotton Candy Pink, Orange Sherbet, Turquoise and Royal Blue

You have until Monday,  Friday, August 1, 2025 (Midnight, CST) to play along. Each DT member will pick a favorite project to showcase, AND one RANDOM entry will win a $20 store credit to Newton's Nook Design online shop!  Will it be you?

Don't have the new birthday products yet? Never fear, you can still create a card using older, must have, birthday products using the challenge colors!  I created the oval base using the Oval Frames die set and pull the pink polka dotted paper from the Birthday Meows paper pad. I then stamped  and colored the image from the Birthday Oval stamp set. I added our favorite feline, Newton, from the Newton Loves Cake stamp set and finished up with a sentiment pulled from the Newton's Cupcake stamp set. Can you image how fun it is going to be to mix and match "older" sets with the new release?  I can'te wait!

I hope you will be inspired to use the challenge colors.

Week 2 Inspiration

Cotton Candy Pink, Orange Sherbet, Turquoise and Royal Blue

You have until Monday,  Friday, August 1, 2025 (Midnight, CST) to play along. Each DT member will pick a favorite project to showcase, AND one RANDOM entry will win a $20 store credit to Newton's Nook Design online shop!  Will it be you?

I wanted to capture the magic of a sunset (sunrise) on a beach. I created the stitched circle using the Circle Frames die set. I then distressed the ocean in blue and teals. For the sky, I distressed in pink and orange.  I then stamped and colored the kitty from the Newton's Sand Dollar stamp set with Copic markers. I cut using my Brother's Scan 'n' Cut; however there is a coordinating die set if you prefer.  I popped him up using dimensional tape.  I added the circle and cat to the card base. I decided to cut off part of the circle and have a straight edge on the bottom.  I then stamped the sentiment on a stitched banner using  Seashell Roundabout stamp set and the  Banner Trio die set.  It looked bland on the card, so I cut a black banner using the Frames & Flags die set. This helped the sentiment look more dramatic and stand out.  However, the card still needed something, so I finally decided to add the waves using the Waves stencil. This added a bit more color and dimension to my card. 

I hope you will be inspired to use the challenge colors.
