Inky Paw's Challenge 196 - Birthday Theme

 

Hello Inky Paws Fans!

We are at the halfway point of this current challenge.

Here is my take on the challenge.

For this challenge I used the following Newton’s Nook Design’s product.

Newton’s Cupcake

Cupcake Stencil Set

Oval Frames Die Set

For the second half of the challenge, I have a fun shaped card.

This card is created with a background I created over a year ago!

Like all crafters I go through phases. One evening I just wanted to create backgrounds.

I sat and worked for many hours with my Newton’s Stencils and just inked up paper.

When I was finished creating, I placed all the backgrounds in a box and well… just forgot I had them.

Flash forwards a year or so and I am unpacking the new studio.

I open this box and all the backgrounds that I forgot about just waiting to become something fun.

This background with pink and brown cupcakes using the Cupcake Stencil Set

 stood out the most and gave me an immediate idea!

First, I created a base card with matching pink cardstock and Oval Frames Die Set.

I also die cut my chosen cupcake paper to be my card front.

Second, I stamped, colored, and die cut out Newton’s Cupcake.

I decided on teal and blue as my contrasting colors.

Third, I added my image to the front of my card with foam tape.

The super cute party hat add-on was necessary!

Finally, I touched up the sprinkles on the cupcake with gel pen.

I also glued on pink gems to add some sparkle.

This completes my take on this challenge.

I Hope this gives you a bit of inspiration for your next project.

Inky Paw's Challenge 196 - Birthday Theme

 

Hello Inky Paws Fans!

We have a NEW challenge coming your way.

Here is my take on the challenge.

 

For this challenge I used the following Newton’s Nook Design’s product.

 Summer Scoops

NEW Quatrefoil Stencil

Frames and Flags Die Set

 Hello everyone!

Here with you today to share a card for the start of our newest Inky Paw’s Challenge.

I started with the background for this card with a 5x8 piece of white cardstock

I taped the Quatrefoil Stencil to half of sheet. (4 inches)

Using some of my favorite Distress Ink colors, I inked up the stencil.

After removing the stencil and letting the ink dry, I lined up the stencil

to the upper black half of the cardstock. I used a rubber mat and ran

 the stencil and paper through my die cutting machine.

This created the cutest embossed top with an inked up lower half.

(of course I forgot to take a picture when creating this)

  

Next, I use the large, scalloped rectangle from Frames and Flags Die.

Centering the die on the two different sides I cut out the front of my card.

My stamped images on this card are from the Summer Scoops Stamp Set.

I colored in my images using colors that match the

background with pops of green, purple and red.

To assemble the card, I die cut a banner from the Frames and Flags Die Set.

I stamped on a sentiment and added a bit of gray around the edge.

I placed the sentiment banner on the card front first.

Then, I placed the other stamped images around the banner with foam tape.

To finish this card. I used the large, scalloped rectangle

from Frames and Flags Die and created a card base.

I also used my Shimmer pen on the images to add

 interest when the card catches the light.

This completes my take on this challenge.

I hope this gives you a bit of inspiration for your next project.

Inky Paw's Challenge 195 - Sketch Challenge

 Hello Inky Paws Fans!

We are at the halfway point of this current challenge.

Here is my take on the challenge!

For this challenge I used the following Newton’s Nook Design’s product.

 Baa Stamp Set

NEW Spring Blooms 6x6 Paper Pad 

Land Boarders Die

Speech Bubble Dies

For the second half of this challenge, I decided on classic spring colors.

I chose the yellow and pink printed flower paper from the Spring Blooms 6x6 Paper Pad.

For the long rectangles I used a 1 ¼ x 3 strips of paper.

For the squares I used 2 ¼ x 3 squares.

I laid the strips and the squares on to purple cardstock, to look like the challenge sketch.

 I left a gap between the pieces to show the cardstock underneath.

After gluing everything down, I trimmed around the pieces.

and created a card front that is 3 ½ x 6 ½.

 Next, I stamped, colored, and die cut my sheep from the Baa Stamp Set.

I also die cut out “grass” from the Land Boarders Die and green cardstock.

I placed my die cut pieces on the larger squares.

I added the sheep to the front with foam tape.

To create a place for my sentiment, I used the Speech Bubble Dies.

Once the sentiment was added to the front of my card, I finished this

 project up by creating a custom card base.

This completes my take on this challenge.

I Hope this gives you a bit of inspiration for your next project.

Inky Paw's Challenge 195 - Sketch Challenge

Hello Inky Paws Fans!

We have a NEW challenge coming your way.

Here is my take on the challenge.

 

For this challenge I used the following Newton’s Nook Design’s product.

 NEW Spring Haul

NEW Spring Blooms 6x6 Paper Pad

Circle Frames Die

 Coming to you today with a fun card using some NEW Newton’s Nook goodies!

I took a good hard look at this challenge sketch to see how I was going to break it down.

I decided on creating the squares first and then a card base to go around the squares.

Thumbing thru the Spring Blooms 6x6 Paper Pad I picked

out two styles of paper to create the squares.

Since I am not the good with math, I kept it simple and decided on

a 1 ½ x 2 ½ rectangle and a square of 2 ¾ x 2 ¾ square.

This would make my final card base 4 ½ x 5 1/2 … ISH.

After creating my card base, I switched things up a bit a glued my

 printed paper shapes directly to the front of my card.

I stamped, colored, and die cut my image from Spring Haul.

Next, I got out my Circle Frames Die and die cut a circle out of Velum.

I glued my image to the vellum first and then added

foam dots to the back to adhere everything to the card.

To finish off this card I created a simple banner for my sentiment.

I also stamped out a couple of bees to add to the front.

This completes my take on this challenge.

I Hope this gives you a bit of inspiration for your next project.
