Let's Paw-ty Birthday Card

I am in desperate need of more masculine cards for both boys and men. Though this card is not man-ish, I do think the card would be cute for a small boy.

Floaty Potato

 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.

Inky Paws Challenge

Week 1 Inspiration

I wasn't sure quite how to interpret this challenge.  Flowers? Showers? or Both?  I decided to go with both showers and flowers!  I started with a black card base.  I then pulled white card stock and used the Petite Flowers stencil and distressed in the colors of the rainbow.  I then used the Fractured Card Layout die to cut my distressed panel.  I also used this die with black card stock.  I thought the black looked very dynamic with the rainbow colors.  I then stamped and colored the kitty from the  Newton's Umbrella stamp set and the puppy from the Rainy Day Doxie stamp set.  I decided to color the kitty's umbrella in warm colors and the puppy's in cool colors.  I felt this continued the rainbow effect from the floral panel.  I added some 3D foam tape to make the critters pop. I added some small clear dots on the umbrella to make it look like raindrops.  I finished by stamping the sentiment from the Spring Roundabout stamp set. I thought this card turned out wonderfully!

Easter Basket with Rainbow Paper

 

I have another fun Easter card. This one features an older Newton's Nook Designs stamp: Newton's Easter Basket stamp set. I used the Pixi Dust Designs You're a Cute Tea paper pad with the Pixi Dust Designs Peek-a-Boo Tag die. I used a Lifestyle Crafts embossing folder with a bit of white ink for the "basket" look.
