I pulled a variety of papers from Autumn Basics, Christmas Basics, and Pastel Basics paper pads. I cut them into strips and adhered. I then stamped and colored the image from the Newton's Birthday Trio stamp set with Copic Markers. I then framed the image with a green and a yellow papers. I added some little dots using Nuvo Crystal Drops.

FarmQuest Guest Designer--Bumblebee Card

I am the Guest Designer over at FarmQuest, and they have such a fun challenge-Ladybugs or Other Insects. I went through my stamp stash, and surprisingly I couldn't find any ladybugs, so I pulled out a new favorite stamp set by Newton's Nook Designs--Bee Keeper Newton. I paired this image with papers by Echo Park--Bee Happy. I also used NND's Hexagon Frames die set.

I used the following sketch:

Debbie's baby shower card features Raindrops, Sky Scene Builder, Essential Alphabet, Springtime, and Bitty Bibs by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnookdesigns, #newtonsnook, #cardmaking, #cardchallenge, #springcard, #babyshower, #babycard

I decided a sweet baby shower card adorned with flowers would work perfectly for this month's challenge. I used the Raindrops stencil to create the showers at the top of the card. I then added some clouds using the Sky Scene Builder die set and die cut the letters using papers from the Springtime paper pad with the Essential Alphabet die set. For the bottom portion of the card, I used more papers from the Springtime paper pad. I stamped and die cut the baby bibs using the Bitty Bibs stamp and coordinating die set. I know this is a bit busy but I love how it turned out!

I hope this inspires you to join us at Inky Paws!

Inky Paws Challenge #238 Week 3

Welcome to Inky Paws'

March Challenge!

For March, we have a spring theme to play with!

You have four weeks to get creative with showers and flowers using your NND Products!

You have from Friday, March 28, 2025 (Midnight, CST) to play along. One random participant will receive a $20 store credit to Newton's Nook Designs!

Debbie's spring card features Heartfelt Blooms, Floral Delights, Spring Blooms, Plaid, Petite Flowers, and Newton's Flower Garden by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #cardmakingideas, #cardmaking, #cardchallenge, #floralcards, #flowercards, #catcards

I started by cutting a 4"x5 1/4" panel in white and one in pink. I used Distress Oxide ink and the Petite Flowers to create the pink panel. I then cut this panel in half-2"x 5 1/4". I then used the same ink with the Plaid stencil on white paper. I then used Distress Oxide Mowed Lawn with the second stencil from the Plaid stencil set. I cut this panel in half. I adhered both panels to my card base. I then stamped and colored (Copic Markers) the daisies from the Floral Delights stamps set. I added the square panel using the green Quatrefoil design from the Spring Blooms paper pad. I then stamped and colored the feline from the Newton's Flower Garden stamp set. I added a bit of lavender to add a pop of color. I adhered with 3D tape. Finally, I used the Mowed Lawn pad to make the strip of green paper and added the sentiment from the Heartfelt Blooms stamp set. I love all the pink and all the different flowers.

I hope this inspires you to join us at Inky Paws!

Hope Your Day Rocks

This card is for my hubby who has his very own music room where he enjoys his vinyl collection. The stamp set is by Paper Smooches-BeBoppin. I arranged the stamps on my Mini Misti. I stamped on one corner. Then turned my paper and stamped the opposite corner. I love the mirror image. I then stamped the sentiment. I added a black border and placed on a green card base for a pop of color. Super CAS, but I think it's perfect for a masculine birthday!

Challenges for this card:

I was inspired by the black, white, vinyl, and musical notes on this list.

I haven't used this darling stamp set in ages. Those sweet manatees are from Newton's Nook Designs Manatee-rific stamp set. I've had this set since 2018! I also used the Hexagon Frames die set by Newton's Nook Designs. I used some fun paper pad-- beyond the Seas (First Edition). With the addition of some dew drops, I think the card turned out pretty cute.
