Inky Paws Challenge #219

 

Today starts a new Inky Paws Challenge!





One lucky participant will win a $20 store credit to Newton's Nook Designs!  You have until Friday, March 29, 2024 at Midnight CST to link up your project using the challenge sketch!


Here's my inspiration!




For my card, I started with a white card base. I then added a white glitter paper atop the base.  I pulled three coordinating papers from the Birthday Woofs paper pad. I love the purple and chartreuse colors together! I stamped and used my Scan 'n' Cut for the puppy from the Paw-some Birthday stamp set.  I used Copic markers to color him and the presents.  The sentiment is from the  Birthday Roundabout stamp set. This sketch is so fun with pattern papers.  Now it's your turn to play with the sketch!

Hugs,
Debbie

Holiday-Simple Pleasures


 

I created this card using the challenges below.  I used Newton's Nook Designs-

Cup of Cocoa stamp set

and a sentiment from a company that went out of business.  I love the CAS style.  I can imagine including a coffee gift card insidey!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Father's Day



Today's CAS card showcases some cheeseburgers from Newton's Nook Designs.

I used Copic markers for the burgers. Then I popped the speech bubble and baby burger with 3D tape.  I added a strip of black and white gingham washi tape.  A super fun and easy CAS card!

Happy Father's Day

 


Here's another masculine card for the current The Male Room challenge. 

Like my last card, this card has a BBQ theme. I used paper by Taylored Expressions Playful Patterns--Savory.  I cut the circle using Newton's Nook Designs Circle Frames die set. The cute burger-flippin' bear and BBQ is from Newton's Nook Designs retired Winston's BBQ stamp set.

Happy Halloween!



I just found a new-to-me challenge that's all about Halloween!  How fun!!

My card features products by Newton's Nook Designs.
I distressed the background using the Flying Bats stencil. I then distressed the center oval and stamped the tree image from the Spooky Street stamp set. The Frankencat image is from the Franken Newton stamp set. The skeleton bat is from the Spooky Skeletons (retired) stamp set.  And finally, I used a beloved, but, retired stamp set, Boo Crew, for the mummy bear.

Today starts a new Inky Paws Challenge!



One lucky participant will win a $20 store credit to Newton's Nook Designs!  You have until Friday, March 15, 2024 at Midnight CST to link up your project using the challenge sketch!


Here's my inspiration!


Easter blessings by Debbie features Spring Roundabout, Floral Roundabout, Hoppy Greetings, Spring Blooms, Spring Pile Up, Circle Frames, A7 Frames & Banners, and Banner Trio by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #eastercards, #springcards, #cardmaking, #cardchallenge

I created my base using the A7 Frames & Banners die set. 

I pulled out the yellow flower paper from the Spring Blooms paper pad and cut using the scallop-edge circle from the Circle Frames die set.

I stamped the image from the Floral Roundabout stamp set and die cut using the Circle Frames die set. I colored the images with purple and yellow Copic markers. 

I stamped the bunny image from the  Hoppy Greetings stamp set and the image from the Spring Pile Up and colored them with Copic markers. I cut them out using my Scan -n- Cut and added foam tape for dimension.  I added a little chick and a couple of eggs. 

I cut out a banner using a die from the Banner Trio Banner die set and stamped the sentiment from the Spring Roundabout stamp set.

I love how this turned out.  It's a busy card filled with Easter cuteness!

Hugs,
Debbie

Inky Paws Challenge #217 Reminder

 

The current Inky Paws Challenge continues!



One lucky participant will win a $20 store credit to Newton's Nook Designs!  You have until Friday, March 1, 2024 at Midnight CST to link up your project using the challenge colors!

Happy St. Patrick's Day by Debbie features Newton's Lucky Clover, Shamrock, Framework, and Banner Trio by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #stpatricksday, #catcards, #shamrock, #cardmaking, #cardchallenge

For my card, I used the Framework die set to cut the large panel out of green card stock. I layered on the lighter green and polka dotted paper.  I used the Shamrocks Hot Foil Plate to create the shimmery shamrocks. All these layers were cut using the postage-edge die from the Framework die set.  I then colored the kitty in a gray and black calico pattern using the feline from the Newton's Lucky Clover stamp set. I cut using my Scan 'n' Cut.  (I know that there aren't black and gray calicos, but one can always dream!)  I stamped the sentiment on a stitched banner using a die from the Banner Trio die set. A super fun St. Patrick's Day card! Now it's your turn!

Hugs,
Debbie
