Week 2 Inspiration

Create a project with a friendship theme.

You have until Friday, June 26, 2026 (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!

Today's card features 3 feline friends from the Newton's Movie Night stamp and coordinating die set. I used the Framework die set to create the red panel behind them. For the background, I selected the striped paper in the  Black & White Basics paper pad. I stamped the sentiment from the Fall Friends stamp set on a banner that was made using the Frames & Flags die set. I "popped" a few pieces of popcorn for extra fun and texture.

Merry, Merry Christmas

I am already getting cards ready for 2026. For this card, I used papers by Pajama Crafter Stamps-Taupe Tidings using the sketch by The Friends of Unity December Mood Board. I also used the Merry Christmas Treeline stamp by Unity. To add some sparkly, I added a silver scallop-edged circle (Newton's Nook Designs-Circle Frames die set). To add some texture, I added a bit of twine. 

Thanks for stopping by and best wishes for a happy New Year!

Friends of Unity Mood Board Challenge

I used this fun sketch and the two shades of brown from the mood board.

I used trees, twine, stripes, and a bit of snow on my card.

 I wanted to keep all these cards together, but I've listed below each photo what challenge each card has been entered.  At the bottom, I've attached all challenges with their logo.

Card 2-CAS on Friday #303

Fab'n'Funky #610

Card 3-FarmQuest Challenge Blog-#68 Hibernating Animals

Card 4--Shopping Our Stash

I had a blast making these 4 unique cards using the Echo Park Bee Happy, paper pad. I used the darling bear from the W Plus 9 stamp set-Curious Forest Friends.  I won this set some time back, and I finally got to play with it.  I used a Paper Smooches tag die. This is my favorite tag die. I wish I could buy another one as this one is not cutting as well. I used Newton's Nook Designs Hexagon Frames dies and Frames & Flags die set for the banners.  For some of my cards, I used Beekeeper Newton for the bees and a couple of the sentiments. 

I was inspired by the sketch from CAS on Friday.

Hello Sunshine

I was inspired to create this card based on the below challenges.  I used Newton's Nook Designs Basic Frames die set to create the stitch layers. I used Kat Scrappiness Teal Glitter paper pad for the light teal layer. The pink layer was made using water colors.  The same is true of the sun which was die cut using NND Sky Scene Builders die set. I then added the Newton from the Newton's Happy Meowr stamp set. It was fun to make a summer card! We have lots of sunshine here in Idaho, but with 3 inches of snow on the ground, we are far from warm! 

Just Add Ink #737

Love the summer image and those pretty colors!

 

Cut It Up #323 This Makes Me Smile

This little kitty image makes me smile.  I can just imagine a little fur ball sipping a little cocktail in hopes of sipping up that fish.  And those sunglasses on the fish...so silly!

4th of July

I was inspired by several amazing challenges.  See below.  My card features a glittery silver background die cut using Newton's Nook Designs-Frames & Tags die set. I did some masking to create the partial circle feature for the Just Add Ink sketch. I then added a stenciled backdrop using NND's Fireworks Stencil and added some sequins.  I added our patriotic feline from the NND Newton's 4th of July stamp set which of course uses blue and red for the main colors!

Thanks for stopping by!
