My card today features the little crab from the Tides of Love stamp set. This little guy usually sports a heart in his claw, but with a bit of fussy cutting, I replaced the heart with a seashell.  When I was in Washington, I often spied little bluish crabs along the shoreline of Hood Canal, so I was inspired to create a bluish little guy for this card.  I pulled out a light blue card stock and the Seashells Stencil to create those pretty seashells. I wanted to keep the color scheme very light and beachy. I used the Frames & Tags Die Set to create the overall layout.  This is fast becoming a go-to die set.  Love it! I used it to cut several times-cream, blue, and Kraft.  The middle pieces I didn't use on this card will be used on anther card in the near future. I added a kraft frame using my We R Memory Keepers Layers Guide. I stamped the sentiment from Summer Moments stamp set on a kraft panel.  I added a bit of jute and sand dollar and popped the little crab up with foam tape. Everything was adhered to a cream card base.   A beautiful beach card spotlighting a very tiny, but cute crab!

Now it's your turn to pull out your summer Newton's Nook products and create something fabulous!

Hugs,

Inky Paws Challenge #221

Today starts a new Inky Paws Challenge!

Use the challenge colors--Dusty Blue, Moss Green, Golden Yellow, and White.

One lucky participant will win a $20 store credit to Newton's Nook Designs!  You have until Friday, April 26, 2024 at Midnight CST to link up your project using the challenge sketch!

Here's my inspiration!

I went with a CAS style for this card.  I pulled the striped and polka dotted papers from the Pastel Basics paper pad. I used the Basic Frames die set to create the stitiched banner. For added texture, I cut the banner with horizontal stripes while cutting the yellow stripes vertically. The polka dotted papers kept the different stripes from clashing.  Hanging above the papers is a sweet Siamese kitty colored with Copic markers. This little guy is from the Newton's Hanging Basket stamp set and cut using my Scan 'n' Cut. I adhered the basket with 3D foam tape and added a little brad at the top.  I stamped the sentiment and add a leaf at the bottom.  

Hugs,

Debbie

Come play with our Challenge Colors at Inky Paws!

  

Use your NND products to create a project using the challenge colors Coral, Wine Red, Denim Blue, and Caramel Brown.

The weather in the PNW has turned chilly and rainy, so I've been pulling out my beloved flannel shirts!  These shirts were my inspiration for this plaid background using denim and caramel brown colors.  I used the Plaid Stencil on a card base created using the Frames & Flags die set. I added a Kraft card stock circle using the Circle Frames die set.  I added the sentiment from the Fall Fringe stamp set.  My star attraction is the vintage blue truck from the Harvest Haul stamp set.  I shaded the bushel of apples in a deep red and the pile of pumpkins in shades of coral.  I can just imagine myself driving this old truck in one of my late-dad's flannel shirts!

Come Get Inky with Us!  There's still time!

Here's the challenge:

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

I pulled out some pattern paper with a soft green pattern which I die cut using the scallop-edged die from the Frames & Flags die set. I then slit the frame to slip the brown lace through.  I added a glitter-gold rectangle using the Framework die set. I liked the contrast of the rustic lace with the glamour of the glitter.  I used the stitched-square to make the next element using the Slimline Frames & Windows die set.  I colored the sweet kitties from the Autumn Newton stamp set and fussy cut them out. My round sketch element used the circle die from the Frames Squared die set with a sentiment from the Fall Roundabout stamp set.  In order to get the sentiment to fit, I cut between the words and stacked them.  

Now it's your turn to use the sketch with your Newton's Nook Designs products.  You have until Friday, October 22, 2021 to enter. There's a $20 store credit for one randomly drawn person.  Will it be you? Link up at Inky Paws Challenge here!

Inky Paws Challenge #146 Reminder

 

 

There's still time to create using the Inky Paws Challenge Colors!

Use the colors--orange, yellow, green, and white.

Here's my card:

I pulled out the Dainty Daisies stamp set and decided to stamp this image several times down the slimline card base.  After coloring the daisies in orange and yellow, I cut the layer down added fun foam behind it.  I placed the striped Washi layer along the length of the card. Then added the floral layer.  I stamped two sentiments from the Heartfelt Essentials stamp set.  I scattered a few clear sequins for a bit of bling.

 Here's hoping you have time to pull out your Newton's Nook Designs products and use these fun colors!

With All My Heart

 

Here's another Valentine's card sporting newly released products from Newton's Nook Designs.  This card also follows the Inky Paws Challenge sketch.  It's such a versatile sketch and works perfectly with the Heart Frames dies.  Besides the dies, I used the Heartfelt Roses stamp set. I embossed the main image in a blush hue. I used a white-on-white striped paper and die cut it using the Frames & Flags die set.  A bit of pink and silver scraps were added as the sketch's stripe.  The sentiment was heat embossed on vellum. I added jute and a couple of silver brads.

Ready to get your "paws" inky?

Inky Paws has a new challenge starting today!

 Create a project using the colors:

 Lime Green, Grass Green, Red, White

Here's my inspiration!

I know I'm a cat lady, but this sweet puppy won my heart. I just had to use him for this challenge. My circle card base was made by die cutting using the Circle Frames die set. I then stamped the festive holiday image from the Christmas Roundabout stamp set. I used my Prisma Color pencils on this one.  I added the puppy from the Christmas Puppies stamp set. and embossed the sentiment on a black strip.  I can't wait to use the other puppies in this set.  Then it will be all about the kitties in the A Kitten Christmas stamp set!

I hope my card has inspired you to join this challenge using these yummy colors.  You have until  Friday, December 4, 2020 at Midnight CST.  One lucky participant will be the winner of a $20 gift voucher to Newton's Nook Designs!

Inky Paws Challenge #125 Reminder

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

Here'a a refresher.
Create a project using the colors:

Turquoise, Orange, Green, and Yellow

Here's my inspiration!

I decided to use the Loveable Llamas stamp set. I colored the blanket and the small pots of cacti in the challenge colors. I also added a pot with a larger cactus using the Cuppa Cactus stamp set.  I placed these elements on some green hills die cut using the Land Borders die set.  All of this was added to a sunny backdrop using the Sunscape stencil.  The postage-edged die was used to die cut the layers.  For the sentiment I pulled out a sentiment from the Floral Roundabout stamp set on a slim banner from the Banner Trio die set

Hope you will be inspired to join Inky Paws using these fabulous colors!
I also wanted to let you know Newton's Nook Designs is having their June Preview!
Hugs,
Debbie
