Inky Paw's Challenge 189 - Sketch Challenge

Hello Inky Paws Fans!

We have a NEW challenge coming your way.

The FIRST challenge of 2023!!!

Here is my take on the challenge.

 

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

Franken-Newton

Heart Frames Die Set

Love and Meows 6x6 Paper Pad

AND

A bit of paper from

Meowy Christmas 6x6 Paper Pad

 To start this card, I stared with an A7 card base made with red cardstock.

I cut down a piece of the heart paper from the Love and Meows 6x6 Paper Pad.

This became my card front.

A 1 ¾ leftover piece of the blue striped cardstock from

 Meowy Christmas 6x6 Paper Pad that I glued down on top of the hearts.

 Next comes a one-inch strip of the multi color hearts paper, that I cut into a banner edge.

Finally, a ¾ inch of red striped paper that I also cut a banner edge and glued on with foam tape.

Now that I have all the elements, on to the heart.

I used the scalloped heart from Heart Frames Die Set.

I used white cardstock to help my image stand out among all the color in the background.

My stamp set of choice is Franken-Newton.

Yes! This is a Halloween set, but it is just TOO CUTE to use once a year.

I stamped, colored, and die cut my image from the stamp set and added that to the heart.

I also stamped on a sentiment and added a couple of extra hearts.

This completes my take on this challenge.

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

Inky Paw's Challenge 174 - Sketch Challenge

Hello Inky Paws Fans!

We have a NEW challenge coming your way.

Using the challenge sketch, I created this card.

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

(NEW) Cat Silhouette Die

(NEW) A Cats Life 6x6 Paper Pack

Heartfelt Meows Stamp Set

Heart Frames Die

Argyle Stencil Set

To start my card, I selected 3 different pieces of paper

 from the (NEW) A Cats Life 6x6 Paper Pack.

It took me a minute to see how I was going to layer the papers to look like the sketch.

Eventually I got the right blend, and I turned my attention to all the other details of the card.

Using the Heart Frames Die I cut out a couple of feature elements.

To have the larger heart stand out I used to part of the Argyle Stencil Set to add detail to the front

Next, I die cut out my cats from the (NEW) Cat Silhouette Die.

I added some sparkle with a glitter pen and put these pieces aside to dry.

To assemble the card, I created a card base and layered all my strips of paper on first.

I added on my hearts and a simple strip for my sentiment that

  Is included the Heartfelt Meows Stamp Set.

Finally, I added on my die cut cats and a few orange pearls complete the card.

 And that completes my take on this challenge

Now it is your turn!

Inky Paw's Challenge 167 - Color Challenge

 

Hello Inky Paws Fans!

We have a NEW challenge coming your way.

Here is my take on the challenge colors!

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

Heartfelt Roses Stamp Set

Heart Frames Die

Frames and Flags Die Set

Petite Heart Stencil

To start the front for this card I used the large scallop from the Frames and Flags Die Set.

Once the shape was die cut out, I used the Petite Hearts Stencil and

 the embossing mat that works for my die cut machine

 and I pressed the Petite Hearts Stencil into white card stock.

It is IMPORTANT to check to recommendations for the die cut machine that you own

on how to do this technique, so you do not damage the stencil or your machine.

Also, it helps to use 80lbs or higher card stock to get a good impression.

Next, I stamped and colored the heart from the Heartfelt Roses Stamp Set

This heart is die cut out using the Heart Frames Die.

To assemble the card, I started by first die cut out banners using the challenge colors.

These colored banners are glued to the back of the heart in ascending order.

At this moment I remembered that I forgot to stamp on the sentiment.

Holding my breath, I very carefully stamped on the green banner.

To finish this card up, I create a card base and attached my embossed panel to this base.

I popped up my heart and banners with foam tape and attached that to the card.

To finish everything off, I added on gold hearts for a bit of bling.

That completes my take on this challenge.

 Now it is your turn!

Inky Paw's Chllenge 156 - Heart 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.

Love and Meows 6x6 Paper Pad

Circle Frames Die

Heart Frames Die

A7 Frames and Banner Die

Love Bites Stamp Set (sentiment)

Everyone knows I love a shaped card.

This card starts with a card base created with the Circle Frames Die and red cardstock.

Next, I layered on a circle die cut of white cardstock.

Another layer of heart cardstock from the Love and Meows 6x6 Paper Pad.

Now to the fun part, I die cut out hearts using the Heart Frames Die

and started to layer them across the front of the card.

I also used the heart in the Circle Frames Die Set.

I wanted a lot of dimensions on the card, so I popped up the hearts in various heights.

For the large white heart, I cover this in white shimmer paint.

Once the heart placement was decided, I created a banner and sentiment for the front.

Tiny foam hearts add that final touch of color for this card.

That completes my take on this challenge.

Now it is your turn!

Inky Paw's Challenge 164 - Color 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.

Heartfelt Love

Heart Frame Die Set

Banner Trio Die Set

To create the top part of my card, I first stamped out my image from the Heartfelt Love Stamp.

Using the challenge colors, I colored all the hearts in.

I tried to keep a good balance of color keeping in mind that

I was going to be using a red banner for my sentiment.

Now that all the color was done, I die-cut out my heart using the Heart Frame Die Set.

To create the base of this card, I used leftover strips of paper that I had in brown and cream.

These were glued to a basic piece of white card stock.

These two layers will keep the card base nice and rigid.

Once the glue was dry, I die-cut out my base with largest heart from the Heart Frame Die Set.

To assemble my card, I lined up the top and bottom of the card together.

I marked a place with my pencil where I wanted the brad to go.

Then using an awl (with a craft mat underneath) I punched a hole in my card.

I did not use a hole punch, because the many layers of this card are too thick for the average hole punch.

After adding in my brad and testing the hinge, I noticed that the card did not move smoothly.

A piece of heavy cardstock glued to back of the top layer will create a spacer for the brad.

To finish this card, created a banner using red card stock and the Banner Trio Die Set.

I embossed on my sentiment and added my banner to the front with foam tape.

I slid open the card and stamped on the suprise sentiment.

For a final touch I added some bling with a silver gel pen to my gray hearts.

 

That completes my take on this challenge.

 Now it is your turn!
